Outside:

From the kitchen there is a large decked area with outdoor dining furniture separated by a glass balustrade, the perfect spot to take in the view with a morning coffee. Down to a lower gravel area and smaller decked area. There are stairs down the side of the building that take you back up to the road.

Parking:

The car park pass provided is valid for Mayors Avenue car park a 5-minute walk away (a bit longer on the way back). Please note that at significantly busy times of the year such as Regatta and the height of summer the pass does not guarantee a space, on the rare occasion the car park is full the permit is valid for the park and ride at the top of town.

Nearby:

A short walk down the road will take you to the centre of Dartmouth where you will find a great selection of pubs restaurants and cafes including Mitch Tonks' Seahorse and Rockfish. Cafe Alfresco is locally renowned for breakfasts and the Anchorstone Cafe on Coronation Park is perfect for lunch in the sun. The South West Coast Path can be picked up at the end of Above Town which will take you out to the castle. The closest beach is Blackpool Sands a 5-minute drive away in the village of Stoke fleming.

Great position, every bedroom has a great view across the Estuary. Short but steep walk into town, which is typical of Dartmouth. Well equipped and warm.

We loved everything about the house and its spectacular views from every single room. We were a party of 6 - twin 4 year olds plus their parents and grandparents of the twins. Luckily we’re all pretty fit but the steps are very many and very steep! We all left fitter than when we arrived! Would not suit anyone infirm or very young children! Instructions were very clear but the road is exceptionally narrow as stated and we only drove up once to unload. Dartmouth is a headache for parking so we were very appreciative of the permit. Outside terraces were beautiful and we were so lucky with the weather that we did sit outside.

The house was beautiful and very clean. It had everything which was mentioned on the listing and more, to make our stay easy and enjoyable. The views from the lounge and garden area were glorious with always something to watch whatever the weather. The town with its facilities is easy to access from the property, but would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Would highly recommend this house for families or couples / groups.

I would highly recommend a stay at Kittiwake! The house is very spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean. The patio and outdoor area provides incredible views over the Dart River (photos do not do it justice!). We found it a perfect place for our group (four adults and one infant) for a four night stay. We hope to visit again soon!
