About this property
Resting in the heart of the popular and picturesque town of Dartmouth, within the South Hams AONB in South Devon, is Bosuns Call, a charming first-floor apartment within a stones throw of the River Dart and behind the high street, close to the amenities and attractions of Dartmouth. This light and airy apartment benefits from a Smart TV and is ideally placed for a couple or small family wanting to explore Dartmouth and the surrounding picturesque coastline and countryside of South Devon. Step inside the property to find a nautical styled, welcoming space, with a compact but fully-equipped galley-style kitchen, which really makes the most of the space, providing you with all of the appliances you'll need to create delicious home-cooked meals during your stay.
Dine together in the living/dining room, where the dining table comfortably seats all guests, before retreating to the sofa and curling up with a good book from the bookcase or finding a favourite film to watch on the Smart TV. As the evening draws to a close, make your way to the spacious king-size bedroom, complete with fitted wardrobes for hanging your belongings, as well as a charming window seat while the second bedroom has 2'6 zip n link beds. Both rooms are served by the family bathroom, which offers a bath with shower over, so you can choose to start the day with a quick rinse or end it with a rejuvenating soak in the bath.
When you're ready to explore, you will discover that you are not far away from a host of amenities and attractions; the River Dart is just a short walk away, as are a handful of shops for picking up essentials, along with restaurants, pubs and takeaway, perfect for when you don't feel like cooking. Explore the bustling town further, meandering the ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops and art galleries, making your way to the harbour, where you can watch the boats coming and going, and even hire your own boat if you wish to explore the waters further. Visit the Royal Avenue Gardens with a picnic, brush up on your local history knowledge at the Tudor-style Dartmouth Museum and Bayard's Cove Fort, a magnificent 16th century fortress, and be sure to pay a visit to Dartmouth Castle, which has stood as the guard of the Dart Estuary since the 15th century.
For a day by the sea, take your pick of a number of glorious beaches that inhabit the surrounding area, including the Blue Flag awarded Blackpool Sands, along with Slapton Sands, both of which are extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. Hop on a ferry and cross the river towards Kingswear, which rests opposite Dartmouth, and is within easy reach of the National Trust's Coleton Fishacre House and beautiful exotic garden. Walk along the South West Coast Path towards Brixham for some delicious, freshly caught seafood, as well as a wonderful beach, and pass attractions like Brownstone Battery and Berry Head National Nature Reserve.
Bosuns Call is ideal for discovering Dartmouth and the surrounding Devonshire coastline and countryside.
