Cottage has a lovely view. Beds were super comfy. A few maintenance issues. Had a great walk to Froward point and had a nice meal in the Steam Packet Inn.

We had a wonderful stay at Dart About! It is a lovely house in a great location. The house is well equipped and very clean. From both the front and back of the house there are wonderful views of the river Dart. Kingswear is a lovely and peaceful village and the perfect place to stop and relax after a day of fun in Dartmouth and other surroundingRead more towns - we would definitely stay again! Hide
