The two-storey reverse level accommodation offers a very comfortable retreat for couples or families within just five minutes' walk of the Dartmouth town centre.

Bedroom one has a king-size bed and bedroom two has a king-size bed (which can be split into two 2'6" single beds on request) and en suite shower room. In addition there is a separate bathroom with over bath shower.
On the first floor is a bright and sunny opern plan sitting room/kitchen with lovely river and sea views, and two comfortable sofas.
There is also a very well equipped modern kitchen with lovely denby crockery, gas hob, electric oven, fridge and dishwasher. The utility room includes a washer/dryer, an additional fridge freezer and toilet. Located off the kitchen, there is a lovely bright conservatory/dining room with contemporary oak table and chairs, from which there is access to the garden.
To the rear of the cottage is a three-tiered garden area, accessed via wooden steps at each level. The upper-most level of decking has superb panoramic views across the town, the river and out to sea. Choose to lie on the rattan sun loungers, sit comfortably on the rattan sofa, chairs with coffee table or sit up on the rattan barstools – this really is a special place to sit and relax.
The garden has a new garden studio with electricity and internet access containing a sofa and a folding table and two chairs. It is an ideal home office or place to relax. This room is a lovely location to enjoy the views, especially after dark when the town and harbour are beautifully lit up. The garden includes a charcoal BBQ.

There is something for everyone.
A short walk from the cottage to the mouth of the River Dart will find the lovely Castle Cove and Sugary Cove small beaches offering a tranquil setting to enjoy the sound of the sea or a swim, whilst Dartmouth Castle has unrivalled views across the glistening waters of the river and sea. Continue onto the coastal path for more walks – why not walk to the award winning blue flag beach at Blackpool sands and catch the bus back to Dartmouth afterwards.
Board the passenger ferry and visit the nearby village of Kingswear, where you can ride on a steam train to visit the town of Paignton or walk the glorious South West Coast Path to the idyllic harbour town of Brixham.
Further inland, the vibrant grounds of Fast Rabbit Farm Gardens provide an enchanting place to enjoy an afternoon stroll, local National Trust houses and gardens provide something for all the family, whilst those looking for a spot of adventure may prefer a visit to Woodlands Family Theme Park.
With all of this and more, choose Harbour Heights as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.

Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust's Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.
