This spacious property is set in the picturesque Bayard’s Cove area and makes for a fantastic base for a group of friends or family wanting to make the most of the area. The cobbled quayside outside the apartment leads to Bayard’s Cove Fort, built to protect the town from attack in the 16th century; from here you can take a scenic walk to Dartmouth Castle, 1 mile away, one of the town’s most striking landmarks. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do: explore the town’s narrow Elizabethan-era streets lined with independent shops, galleries and restaurants; take a boat trip down the river; visit Agatha Christie’s former holiday home, Greenway; or ride the Dartmouth Steam Railway. There are two excellent beaches just over 1 mile from the town centre, Castle Cove and Sugary Cove, or head to Blackpool Sands, 4 miles away, for kayaking or paddleboarding.

There are two steps into the property from the street and three steps in the hallway. The entrance hall has space to store shoes as well as a collection of children’s books and a portable single z-bed. Sink into a sofa in the lounge and watch TV or relax in one of the chairs set in the bay window and watch the hustle and bustle of the river. A separate kitchen has all you need to self-cater as well as a dining area. There are three bedrooms: one features a double and a single bed, another has a double bed and a sofa bed for two, and the third has a double bed. One bathroom has a walk-in shower cubicle and the other has a shower over the bath.

The property does not have a garden but the South West Coast Path runs past the property for spectacular walks along the coast.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 double, 1 double with an additional single bed, 1 double with an additional double sofa bed (available on request) all with beautiful river Dart views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bayards Cottage. The apartment was very spacious and we loved the views from the living area, kitchen and bedrooms. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were all a good size. Loved the location and the short proximity to the town centre. Would love to stay again

The cottage is in a very convenient location with stunning views across the river. As has been mentioned before parking is a bit of a nightmare for loading/unloading (we had to stop on double yellow lines) but that was the compromise to be able to stay in that location and the parking pass to a nearby car park was a welcome addition. The cottage haRead mores so much space and was very clean on arrival. It has very comfortable beds and we were grateful for the blackout blinds in the bedrooms. My only gripe was a lack of a welcome tray- nothing says 'welcome' more than a home baked cake or local biscuits, a pint of milk in the fridge and some basic items such as tea & coffee. I'll be honest this is the first place I've ever stayed where there has been literally nothing to welcome us after our journey. In spite of this, I would definitely recommend this property for its location and comfort. Hide

Great location and plenty of space within the property for people to relax. Short walk into the town and all the amenities. Great views of the estuary from all rooms. Having two teenagers with us the wi-fi was essential and very reliable. Nice to have a smart TV in all bedrooms (again helps with 2 teenagers!!). Would definitely recommend

Beautiful accommodation in a first class location. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but the walk to mayors avenue car park isnt too far if you have to park there. The views across the river are amazing and the property is closer to the local shops, bars and restaurants than we realised.

We have stayed at the property previously so knew what to expect but it could do with safer knives as the handles come off, theres no chopping board (eg for onions) and the fridge door doesnt close properly. However my sisters and I love how spacious the property is, and the great location. Were missing it already!
