DARTMOUTH & SURROUNDS

Alice Cottage is approximately a 20 minute walk down Blackpool Valley lane to the famous Blackpool Sands, a well regarded beach for both its outstanding facilities and safe and secure environment. As such, it’s one of South Devon’s most popular family-friendly beaches.

The ancient town and deepwater port of Dartmouth is set in a picturesque location, with steep wooded hillsides framing the valley, leading you down to the famous River Dart at the bottom of the valley. The town itself sits right on the river with the embankment being a promenade which runs the length of the town. In addition to the views, the town has a wide selection bistros, restaurants, boutiques and specialist shops lining its narrow streets. There is a strong historic atmosphere in the town with its preserved medieval buildings and structures- the Cherub pub and Agincourt House are both 14th century buildings, the timber on the Butterwalk arcade dates from the 1630s and the Cobbled Bayards Cove has changed little since 1539.

There are plenty of opportunities for sailing and fishing and the South Hams’ rolling countryside and excellent beaches are within immediate reach.

The National Trust property of Greenways, former home of Agatha Christie and Collaton Fishacre former summer home of the D'Oyly Carte family, provide wonderful cream tea visits.
