Tip from Content Creator
Dartmouth was one of my favourite towns in all of Devon. In fact, I’d go so far as to claim that this pretty port town on the River Dart is one of the cutest places I’ve seen in all of England.
During your stay here, take one quick ferry ride across the water to enjoy the following activities:
- Explore it’s pastel-coloured streets. Foss Street is perfect if you’re short on time like me.
- Visit Dartmouth Castle.
- Grab a local pint in a medieval pub. I absolutely loved The Cherub Inn.
- Pick up some fish and chips and watch the world go by at the harbour.
- Try the famous Salcombe Dairy ice cream.
I wish I had more time here, but if a city can make such a grand impression in just a few short hours, then you know it’s got to be doing something right!

9. Penwill - Peaceful, boutique, chic (from USD 92)
This accommodation is modeled to resemble a stylish hotel room. Between the crisp white sheets, contemporary decor, and immaculate rooms, anyone could mistake Penwill for an upscale hotel. The only difference is that this accommodation is only a fraction of the price of a high-quality hotel. In fact, the host was a former hotelier, working in some of the finest hotels in the world and so understands what is needed to bring their accommodation to a high luxury standard. The rental includes two bedrooms and a sofabed and can accommodate up to seven guests with a variety of bed configuration options. There is also a fully functional kitchen and an outdoor deck area where you can dine and take in the views.

10. Blacksmith's House
The name of this house may have you thinking this is a dark, musty home. But, this could not be further from the truth. The Blacksmiths House was where the blacksmiths of Dartmouth lived, centuries ago. It is modern, airy, and simply chic. Its almost all white decor, carefully placed art pieces, and use of soft accent colors make this home elegant and charming.
This home is so lovely you may not want to leave, however, its location, in the center of the city, makes it incredibly convenient to navigate the city. It comes equipped with all modern amenities, including WiFi, cable TV, and a microwave. The apartment offers you a kitchen with lounge/dining area, a double bedroom, and a bathroom, with shower. The hosts have another property, as well, that you can inquire about if you are traveling with others.

13. Briny Cottage - 10 Newport Street
This pastel pink rental is not your typical cottage. Instead, it is rather spacious and has a large, open floor plan.

The whole cottage is included in the rental, which is spread across three floors that includes a living room, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom with twin beds and a master bedroom with a double bed. Accommodating up to four people, the cottage has plenty of living space. Rates are inclusive of all bedding, towels, and WiFi.
