"Kipper Lodge is beautifully presented & stylish - the photos are a good indication."
Very clean & well equipped with everything you need. I made a note from previous reviews & took a baking tray & clothes airer/dryer which were needed & the only suggestion I’d give the owners. The vehicle access is a bit tricky but again reading the reviews, we noted that a wider car than our Kia Sorento made it through the width restriction down the lane. I think parking for 2 small cars is a bit optimistic - they’d have to be tiny but our 1 large car was fine at an angle. The proximity to the town centre is great & Dartmouth is easily walkable. There are plenty of boat trips; ferries & trains on offer to save you driving anywhere.

"Property was better than I had expected, the only drawback being the road to the house."
We arrived in a big car which was 6 ft wide so we managed to get through the bollards to the property and park. On leaving the house to go home we encountered a parked car, at the end of this road a person had parked his car whilst packing to go home.? Anyway after a short time they showed up apologised and moved. Their car was a lot smaller than the car we were in. The road we found out was used frequently but cars were smaller, so beware if your car is wide. But other than this slight problem we enjoyed our stay at Kipper Lodge.

"Enjoyed our stay at Kipper Lodge but a few small issues."
Firstly, the distance and hill from the town meant it was difficult walking for aging father-in-law. Our mid-sized car could only just get to the house due to narrow access road…lucky we didn’t have anything bigger! The house was lovely and charming but the kitchen was missing any baking trays. There was no sun parasol for the terrace and we couldn’t find anywhere to hang wet clothes. Some trim had come off the kitchen window (which we put back in place). The freezer needed de-icing. We would have appreciated a spare key and only found out that we could have had one when we returned the key at the end of the holiday.

"Kipper lodge is a lovely holiday home, fully equipped with everything you need."
Clean and tidy, with a great outdoor area.. Comfortable beds with superb bedlinen and towels. Location is perfect, might be better if description read parking for one, not two cars, we found it impossible to park two cars in parking space, so we used park and ride carpark. The house would benefit from a full length mirror. Overall we all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, we highly recommend Kipper lodge and would love to return.

"Lovely outside seating area."
Spacious and well maintained. Road to the property was traumatic. Got a very big car

"Fantastic location and property."
2 mins walk into Dartmouth was perfect. Lovely and clean with a well equipped kitchen. The narrow street was a bit of worry but our XC60 fitted down OK and having its own parking was great.

"Absolutely beautiful, high standard of cleanliness and lovely decor."
Large living spaces, even the single bed room is big. Fresh linen and towels, plenty of cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and containers. Lovely outdoor area, we were lucky enough to have sun so could sit out. The road is narrow to get to property, there is a 6ft width restriction, but not a problem. We had two cars an estate and saloon, both able to park, though have to jiggle abit to park, but again not an issue. Hope to visit again, we took our Labrador who had great fun too

The property
Kipper Lodge is an attractive duplex apartment in the heart of Dartmouth, Devon.
This stylish property has a light and airy interior with a blend of nautical and contemporary décor, ideal for families and friends to relax along the coast.
On arrival, leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space before entering your new home from home; flick through the Smart TV as you unwind on the sofa, dine together at the table, and prepare home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen complete with all the expected appliances.
Patio doors extend the living space onto the terrace, where you can savour a glass of wine as you reflect on your adventures so far or stargaze into the night.
When the evening cools, retire to one of four beautifully-appointed bedrooms, two of which reside on the ground-floor, providing a flexible sleeping arrangement for guests with lower mobility; freshen up in one of two well-fitted shower rooms before catching your sleep.
When you’re ready to traverse the local amenities and attractions, head into the heart of Dartmouth, where you can admire the magnificent harbour and Royal Avenue Gardens or immerse yourself in the areas’ past at Dartmouth Museum.
A relaxing stroll along the River Dart will bring you to Bayard’s Cove Fort, the 15th century Dartmouth Castle and Warfleet Creek, an ideal spot to paddleboard, swim, or kayak with serene banks as your backdrop.
Venture further to the cascading landscapes of Dartmoor National Park to experience a variety of wildlife and hiking trails or travel to the market town of Totnes to bask in wonderful architecture, boutique stores and several restaurants offering splendid food, ales, and fine wines.
All of this and more awaits at the fantastic Kipper Lodge.

About the location
DARTMOUTH
Totnes 12 miles.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
