About the home

The late Georgian house is located a few minutes walk from the main centre, so is quiet yet accessible to the many restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions. The property has everything needed for a family or group of four to enjoy the boats, celebratory restaurants, the beaches, the coast path, National Trust Gardens, River Dart Estuary.

A sheltered small private garden and timber deck are great for morning and evening relaxing. With central heating and wood burner, the property is also ideal all year round.

The autumn colours of the oak woodlands along the Dart are spectacular.

""just wanted to say we had a fantastic weekend in Dartmouth, my husband was well and truly surprised for his 50th birthday"

The West Country / Devon region

The South Hams is one of the most beautiful and gentle areas of England. The undulating coastline, rolling countryside, flower-filled country lanes, and dramatic moorland has something to suit every taste and interest. From sailing on the Dart, gentle riverside walks, to energetic coastal walks, fishing, or mountain biking on wild Dartmoor -all sorts of interests are catered for.

The landscape is dotted with pretty thatched cottages, delightful towns (notably Dartmouth, Kingswear, Totnes, Kingsbridge) and villages, spectacular coastline and beaches and of course it is also the home the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. The South Hams is truly a unique area worthy of its national status as a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Dartmouth area

The Cottage is located on the edge of the historic core of Dartmouth so all the quaint historic streets, the wide selection of fine restaurants, bars, cafe's, galleries and shops, are just a few minutes walk away.

Dartmouth is arguably the finest harbour town in the South West. It has a wonderful eclectic mixture of architecture from Medieval times right through to the present day. It is renowned for its boutique shops, art galleries, delicatessens, gourmet restaurants and bars. It has something to offer everyone.

Across the water is the equally delightful village of Kingswear - a short ferry ride away.

Situated at the mouth of the beautiful River Dart, the deep water harbour is the focus and backdrop to many events. In August the famous Dartmouth Royal Regatta takes place. There is a Music Festival, a Food and Wine Festival. The waterfront bars and cafes are the perfect place to watch the world go by. For a really relaxing start to the day there is a fabulous place ( Al Fresco's) to have breakfast!

In the town centre The Flavel is the hub of all arts activities and includes a cinema, art spaces, a theatre providing film, live music, art, dance, kids clubs, cafe, workshops and rainy day events.

A short walk out of town (or ferry ride) takes you to the historic Dartmouth Castle situated in a stunning location close to the harbour mouth. Beyond the castle, the South West Coast Path provides access to further wonderful views of the Dart and open sea, access to small coves. A reasonably short circular walk from the Castle is a perfect afternoons stroll.

“Wonderful bolt-hole for a relaxing break.” The warm and cosy atmosphere in this cottage is seductive - you have to force yourself outdoors to experience the delights of Dartmouth, which are all within a good walking distance. We've just... more

“Warm and cosy cottage” We spent the weekend at Fisherman's in Nov and although the weather in Dartmouth was very cold the cottage certainly wasn't. The log burner just made the comfortable, spotlessly clean cottage even more cosy. I would certainly recommend a visit. Response: Thank you for a kind and helpful review. It confirms what we know - that Dartmouth is a great place at any time of year and in any weather. And Fisherman's is the right place to enjoy it! With a brand new 'A' rated boiler the house will be greener and even warmer for the next heating season. A great place for Christmas maybe?

“Lovely Cottage” We spent a week in June at fishermans cottage and loved every minute!! Fishermans is a lovely quirky and modern little cottage - with everything you need for a comfortable holiday and also has very, very comfy beds!!!! An ideal location to see all of Dartmouth on foot. Dont be put off by the 30 something steps up to the cottage - we thought of it as cancelling out all those cream tea's, which made them easy to clime! Very easy booking service with all the info you could possibly need throughout your stay. I already have and still are recomending to family and friends!! Great Job - keep up the good work! Response: Thank you for such a kind review. The ease of the Booking Service is greatly helped by the simplicity of the Holiday Lettings website enquiry facility. Looking forward to your return visit sometime.

Guestbook for Fisherman's

WOW....we stayed at Fisherman's mid August for a week and have to say the cottage is really lovely. Decor is fantastic and the cottage has absolutely everything that you need including the most comfortable beds in the world.
Don't be put off by the 34 steps to the front door, it is definitely worth the climb.
Dartmouth itself has much to offer, great pubs and bistros, some nice shops and really good crabbing, there is absolutely nothing tacky about Dartmouth what so ever.
so if you are considering Fisherman's for your stay then i would highly recommend it!
