Happily sitting on the estuary of the river, Dartmouth is a terrific place to visit for either a weekend or, even better, a proper holiday. You can saunter down its historic narrow lanes and climb stone stairways. Look out for The Butterwalk dating from around 1635. It's also a great base to spend time in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 

So, where to stay? Dartmouth has a terrific selection of friendly guest houses. Instead of an often-soulless hotel, you can enjoy a proper welcome in a place where comfort is the most important thing. The owners soon get to know you and always make sure you enjoy a proper Devonian welcome. That's one of the main reasons so many folk love to come back to Dartmouth time after time and wish to stay at one its quality guest houses.

 

Visiting the west-country is like finding a second home. That's the great thing about staying in a local guest house. It's often set in a much nicer location than a bustling hotel. It isn't a place where the staff see you as a hindrance to getting their jobs done. Instead they make sure you are enjoying your break. The owners know the best places to visit and are happy to help you plan each day's excursion. They're pleased to see you when you get back and want to chat about your day.

 

Dartmouth's guest houses are intimate places where everybody works to get things right for you rather than simply to get them done!
