About this property

This handsome three-storey Grade II listed Georgian house is situated near the historic Dartmouth creek from which ships departed for The Crusades. With charming views of the River Dart and a welcoming and impressive interior, it is excellent family accommodation. From the steep drive and parking area, leave your coats and boots in the porch and head into the comfortable sitting room with its cosy wood burning stove or the second sitting room, also with a wood burning stove, where you can watch the smart TV or gaze across the water. Prepare family meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoy them together around the table beside the wood burning stove in the dining room, where you can play the piano after dinner. The bedrooms ramble over two upper floors, with a lovely room for the children on the top floor where they can play games and watch TV. The terrace which stretches along the front of the house is a fine place to sit and share barbecues whilst admiring the view. The children can play happily in the lower garden but must be supervised whilst you sit peacefully above on the Veranda (you cannot see the lower garden from the Veranda). You have everything on the doorstep since you can wander out to the restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries or take a tour of the Britannia Royal Naval College. About a 10 minute walk from the house are the Dartmouth Castle landing steps from where you can catch a ferry (seasonal) into Dartmouth. For a longer walk, a footpath leads through NT woodland to the South West Coast Path. You can catch the ferry to pretty Kingswear or take a boat trip to the interesting town of Totnes, or even hire a boat to skipper yourself. And, of course, there are lovely beaches all around the area. Woodlands is a house with room for all the family in a bustling and vibrant area.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon.

    The house is lovely and the few contacts we had with the owners were friendly and positive. The house is beautifully decorated and the sense that it is still a family home and not a holiday house is a real bonus. The weather was dreadful so we didn't really make use of the outside but the gardens look nice.

    There was ample room for the 10 of us and the kitchen was the best equipped I have ever known in a holiday property. The only drawback was the steepness of the drive - but that did lead to a great view.

    We spent a week at Woodlands and had the most fabulous time. The house is really spacious, well - equipped and comfortable. We were so lucky with the weather so we could also appreciate the stunning garden. Great location to walk into Dartmouth and along the coastal path to some lovely coves. We went swimming out of Sugary Cove. Apparently there was an issue with the shower in the main bathroom and a plumber came out but I'm not sure we'd have noticed any issue. Bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious with enough bathrooms that no one had to share. I would highly recommend for a larger group but the warning about the steep driveway is not too be ignored.
