The Garden Cottage is a holiday home for all seasons, blending fresh décor with homely comforts. Just a stone’s throw from the centre of Dartmouth and the waterside, its elevated position gives splendid views over the town and river from the master bedroom and the well-tended garden - a perfect spot for lunch on a sunny afternoon. Inside, feature stone walls and solid wood floors envelop you in maritime cottage charm. Plus, there’s a log burner for the chillier months. Dogs are welcome, too.

Off the entrance hall there is the large newly refurbished family bathroom complete with bath, separate shower, toilet and wash basin. There is also a small single bedroom on the ground floor, guests will find the washing machine in the cupboard under the stairs.
Upstairs to the first floor where guests will find the lounge diner, kitchen and access to the garden. The lounge diner is a light and airy room with dual aspect windows and great views over the garden. The lounge area has a Smart TV and sound bar, two sofas and woodburner. There is a dining table and chairs set into the window at the back of the room.

Outside:
The garden at the rear of the property overlooks the town and river and is a delightful suntrap with mature flower beds, seating areas and lawns as well as a decked area at the top with dining table and chairs. Though dogs are welcome at the The Garden Cottage the garden isn’t 100% dog proof but there are fields and woodlands just up the road where dogs can have a good run.

Parking:
A parking space has been created at the front of the cottage by the owners. By mounting the small pavement they have created and pulling in tight to the building there is parking for a small/medium car. From the Garden Cottage up, parking is unrestricted however this does become busy during peak weeks of the season.

Crowthers Hill itself is steep as is the walk up to the parking at Jawbones Hill and the walk from the town centre, so the cottage may not be ideal for those with mobility problems.

Availability:
In the peak season, May, June, July and August we need to keep to Saturday changeovers and a minimum stay of 7 nights. However, please do contact me with any requests you may have and we will accommodate if possible.
Out of peak season we don't need to keep to a Friday changeover.
Please get in touch if you need any advice or tips on places to visit, walks (we're right on the South West Coast path), pubs & restaurants etc.
