Description
2 Dart is positioned in the tranquil and highly desirable picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel in South Devon, and is a beautiful villa style bungalow that you will long to return to.
Ideally placed for strolling along the estuary, exploring the beauty of the South Hams and days out on the beach, this property is ideal for friends and families.
With the village pub on the doorstep you have all the ingredients for a perfect holiday at any time of year.
The relaxed, New England inspired interior gives this property a breezy beach house quality, with both bedrooms boasting French doors onto a Colonial style veranda to the front that overlook a pretty cottage garden.
The master bedroom has a sleek en-suite shower room and there is a separate family bathroom.
The hallway leads through to a bright and airy open-plan living room, a partially glazed lantern roof and French doors flooding the room with daylight.
A plush seating area at one end allows you to enjoy your favourite TV show or catch up on a sports event, or during cooler months cosy up and enjoy the real flames of the central wood burning stove.
A contemporary kitchen is equipped with all you could wish for and has a useful utility area.
The French doors open onto paved patio area equipped with garden furniture and BBQ, perfect for summer meals and evening barbecues.
Stairs lead up to a raised lawn garden, where parking can be found to the rear.
The garden is fully enclosed.
A two minute stroll will bring you to the village pub where on a summer's evening parents can sit and enjoy a tipple whilst children play in the village play park opposite.
Situated on a creek of the River Dart, a short walk through the apple orchard will take you down to the riverbank and quay, a hot spot for crabbing where you can relax at the café whilst children play.
The town of Totnes is just 4 miles, known for its alternative vibe, independent shops and monthly Good Food Market.
The fishing port and popular resort of Brixham is just 7 miles, where you will pick up an outstanding fish supper freshly caught as the trawlers bring in the daily catch.
Family days out are plentiful with the long sandy beaches of the English Riviera on your doorstep along with Paignton Zoo and Splashdown waterpark.
Hop on the steam railway that will take you along the coast, a journey not to be missed.
They say Stoke Gabriel is the best kept secret in Devon, and a stay at 2 Dart is sure to convince you.

What guests are saying
On arrival I discovered although there is a parking space at the back of the house it was fairly difficult to get into without turning into a nearby neighbours driveway as the back lane is extremely narrow.
The steps down to the house are very steep when unloading luggage etc. Parking at the front of the house is impossible with double yellow lines and nowhere to park although there is access through the front door. Once inside the house it is wonderful! Spotless, bright, light and airy and very welcoming. It has everything you may need and feels like a home. The garden is lovely, front and back and fully enclosed if bringing a dog. Stoke Gabriel is a gorgeous, beautiful village and the local store has fresh produce and probably everything you may need.
We had a lovely stay at 2 Dart which was very comfortable, well equipped and a perfect base to explore the area.
Our Dog enjoyed his early morning walks through the orchard down to the river Dart and the locals are very friendly and helpful. The gardens front and back are very well maintained, and secure. The BBQ was a nice touch, although unfortunately there wasn't any gas. This didn't stop us enjoying eating alfresco as we used disposable BBQ trays instead. We had a very comfortable night sleep and our dog was very grateful for the fan as the weather was very hot. The only slight criticism, is this was the first cottage we've stayed at that didn't include a small welcome pack i.e pint of milk.
The cottage is lovely, this is our second year at 2 Dart and there seemed to be improvements to both bathrooms.
Just a simple request, there is nowhere to put your shampoo or soap in the showers a simple tray would resolve that issue. Also, in the summer, early afternoon the sun shines directly into the lounge area, a retractable blind would resolve this issue. Other than those small issues it is a lovely place to stay and we thougherly enjoyed our visit
