Why not step away from the shore and take up one of the many boat rides which can be caught from the waterfront, with sights to see including historical Greenway Holt, the home of Agatha Christie and a selection of nautical wildlife too, from seals to sea birds.
Dartmouth is an all year round destination hosting a variety of regional events like the yearly Dart Music Festival (May), the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta (August), and the Dartmouth Food Festival (October).
Heywood offers guests the perfect place to explore Dartmouth and beyond, all year round.
Tucked away on a peaceful street just a short walk from Dartmouth’s lively centre, this three-level apartment invites you to unwind in a serene setting with spectacular waterside views. Sleeping up to four guests, it’s a thoughtfully arranged space that offers a harmonious blend of privacy and togetherness.
On the first floor, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms, a bright double and a cosy twin, designed for a restful night’s sleep after a day exploring the South Hams. A modern, well-appointed bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower completes this floor, offering all the comforts of home.
The main living space, located on the second floor, is where Upper Heywood truly shines. An open plan layout makes the most of the natural light and the ever-changing river views. Relax on one of the plush sofas, gather around the dining table, or prepare a delicious meal in the fully equipped kitchen, which comes complete with farmhouse style crockery and all the essentials. Positioned by the window is a telescope, perfect for watching boats drift by or stargazing on clear nights.
A spiral staircase leads to the crowning feature: a private rooftop balcony with seating for four. Here, you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy an evening glass of wine as you take in the uninterrupted views across the Dart and surrounding countryside, a peaceful haven high above the town.
