Description

Bell Cottage is a welcoming house nestled in Dartmouth, Devon.

Suited to couples or families with older children, this delightful abode features en-suite facilities, serene river vistas from the patio and proximity to the beach.

Step inside Bell Cottage and you’re welcomed into a light‑filled kitchen/diner, a space designed for lingering mornings and relaxed evenings.

Bright and inviting, it’s styled with homely yet contemporary fixtures and fittings, centred around a circular dining table that naturally draws everyone together.

An electric fire adds warmth and ambience, while a mounted Smart TV makes this a comfortable spot to linger long after supper.

Large windows frame views across the River Dart and the town beyond, filling the room with natural light and a constant sense of place.

From here, the cottage flows into the sitting room, where the atmosphere shifts to something softer and more intimate.

An L‑shaped sofa sits perfectly positioned in front of the windows, inviting you to stretch out and watch the river activity unfold below.

A window seat offers a particularly peaceful perch, ideal for a quiet coffee or an unhurried chapter of a book, while the sloped ceiling, plush carpeting and bright interiors create a cushy yet airy feel that’s easy to settle into.

Continuing through the property, the conservatory offers a gentle connection to the outdoors.

Tiled underfoot and softened with potted plants, it’s a calm, light‑filled space where greenery and natural light set the tone.

From here, doors open directly onto the patio, making it effortless to step outside with a glass of something chilled or take meals into the open air on warmer days.

When it’s time to retreat for the night, both bedrooms feel calm, bright and welcoming.

Soft carpets underfoot, carefully placed lamps and a soothing colour palette create restful spaces designed for slow mornings and early nights.

Both rooms enjoy river views, so you can wake to changing light over the water.

The king‑size bedroom offers an added touch of indulgence, where evenings can end with a long, luxurious soak in the freestanding bath, while the second double bedroom provides a serene space to refresh and unwind.

Dartmouth Harbour is just a short stroll away, where you can watch boats gently bob along the water, wander the lively waterfront lined with independent shops and galleries, and pause to enjoy fish and chips as the river and town buzz softly around you.

Closer still, Sugary Cove Beach lies tucked beneath the headland near Dartmouth Castle, inviting you to follow the coastal path down to its sheltered shoreline, dip your toes into clear water, and linger in a quieter, more secluded setting away from the crowds, a much‑loved local spot for calm, reflective moments by the sea.

At the mouth of the River Dart, Dartmouth Castle offers a memorable outing, where clifftop paths lead you past sweeping sea views, the sound of waves echoes below, and centuries of maritime history unfold as you explore one of the area’s most iconic landmarks.

After a day exploring the beauty of Devon, return to Bell Cottage and settle whilst admiring the stunning river views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bell Cottage.

All the rooms were light and airy, and the views were spectacular. We hope to return in the future. Two items need attention. Firstly, the fridge needs repairing, and secondly, the bed in the lower bedroom needs a new mattress with a suitable cover. At the moment the sheet is directly on the mattress.

Positive.

The view from the property is amazing. The bathrooms are nice. Negative. The house is very damp. There was no welcome pack for us when we arrived.

On first impressions the house is beautifully presented.

I would however like to highlight a few items that could improve the experience: 1. The fridge needs replacing. The shelf on the inside of the door is broken and is held on with tape. Looking at the condition of the white tape it has been like this for a while. We were only able to store one bottle of milk in the door and had to keep resticking the tape. Sometimes the door didn't seal properly which meant the back of the fridge froze up. 2. There were no instructions on how to dispose of the rubbish. We put the bin out for collection when we noticed other bins along the road had been put out and the previous week's rubbish was still in the bin. There were no obvious facilities for recycling. 3. The bed in the ground floor bedroom did not have a mattress cover on it but the other bed did and some of the pillows were without pillow liners and others had a pillow liner. Mattress covers and pillow liners would be preferable for hygiene reasons given that it is a holiday let. 4. We were unable to find a key for the conservatory door leading to the outside patio. Regards, Liz.
