The Old Orchard
Entire home in Devon, United Kingdom
The space
Tastefully reimagined to complement Dartmouth’s coastal character, The Old Orchard is an ideal home-from-home for a small family or for a romantic getaway. Its elevated position above Dartmouth makes for glorious views of the river and valley. Laid out across a single-storey, this 3-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a fresh, contemporary space to stay.Accommodation:
From the parking area, steps lead up to the house.
The living space and kitchen area open up to maximise the socialising space. Oak-effect solid flooring and a comfy sofa face the centrepiece wood-effect fire (ideal for cosy nights in the cooler months).
The Seashell-white Shaker-style kitchen includes a brand-new Rangemaster oven and hob, a black quartz sink, and a solid oak worktop; it's also well-equipped with a microwave, toaster, and filter coffee maker. A grinder is supplied for you to freshly-prepare your favourite coffee. There’s a second area adjacent to the living space for preparing drinks and light meals.
Bedroom one has a king-size bed and bedside tables, with views of the well-tended private garden.
Bedroom two has a double bed with a dressing table, wardrobe, and mirrors and a broad window to take in the view of the boats on the river and the rolling hills across the valley.
Bedroom three has a single bed with a built-in small wardrobe with overhead storage.
The family bathroom has a large shower, basin, and WC. There’s also a separate WC room with a wash basin.
Parking:
There is ample off-road parking for up to 4 cars in the driveway (Please note that the garage is locked and is for the owners’ use only).
Outside:
From the patio doors of the living space is the paved and walled terrace, with seating for up to six.
Beyond, the private fenced garden is laid to lawn, with mature trees at the border and apple trees within.
There is a rear gate with direct access to the bus stop for frequent services into town and the riverside, and to the larger grocery stores nearby.
** Please note that The Old Orchard is not suitable for children under 16 years due to the slopes in the garden **

What a wonderful place to stay. Felt right at home. Been coming back and forth Dartmouth my entire life & this place has to be one of the best. Out of the town centre but only a 10 minute peaceful stroll down. Everything you need can be found in the house. Off-road parking made this a lot easier guaranteeing you a parking space throughout regatta week. Plenty of space in the garden which the dog loved. 100% would visit here again. Dart Valley Cottages were so helpful & responsive when needed. Thank you for the stay.

The house is great, garden great, lots of kitchen equipment - which is missing, however, are pots to cook for four to five people (there is only one larger pan and only very small pots; noodles or rice for four actually only goes in the microwave - but there is no larger container with a lid). There is also no table and no chairs, so you can only eat at the low coffee table with four people. Our children then sat on the floor... because of course the sofa is much higher than the table. In the kitchen there are only two bar stools and a counter. Washing machine is great, but there is no proper drying rack on which more than three T-shirts fit, and no clothesline. If you don't want to cook, sit together at the table or wash, the house is great for you!

Very clean and tidy bungalow, which had obviously only recently been refurbished. The standard was good, but furniture was a little sparse. One small sofa and a chair isn't really enough for 5 people, and there was no dining table, which would have been very useful. We also had some issues with lack of hot water, so a few cold showers. This was due to a timing issue with the Nest system, which was sorted quickly by Nina at Dart, but maybe some clear instructions on how to use the 'hot water boost' in the house booklet may have avoided this. Just usual teething troubles with a newly refurbished house, I'm sure. All in all, a pleasant stay. Thank you.
