About this property

Charming Cottage in the heart of historic Dartmouth

Gull's Rest is a charming cottage that has recently been completely renovated and beautifully furnished for a truly comfortable and welcoming holiday year-round. The front deck is a lovely spot for a summer morning coffee, while the log burner is perfect for a cosy winter's evening. Located just behind Market Square you're seconds away from Dartmouth's shops, bars, and restaurants yet in a prime elevated position peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle below. A parking permit is provided.


Accommodation:

A flight of 25 old stone steps from the road takes you up to the private, enclosed front deck.

The front door opens straight into the cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas and armchair, a Smart TV and a DVD player.

Stairs up to the first floor where you will find the brand-new light and airy kitchen and dining area, complete with integrated appliances including an oven and hob, fridge freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. The dining area has an extendable dining table that comfortably seats six.

Off the kitchen is a small single bedroom with built-in hanging space and access to the tiled family bathroom, which includes a bath with an overhead shower and heated towel rail.

Stairs from the dining area lead up to the second floor, where you will find two other bedrooms and a shower room. The master bedroom - with views over towards town and the market - has a kingsize bed, built-in hanging space, and a chest of drawers. The second bedroom is a twin room with hanging space and storage. There is an additional shower room on this floor, too.

The house has central heating and a wood-burning stove (logs can be purchased locally).


Outside:

At the front of the property is the private enclosed deck made with grey composite material giving a fresh contrasting finish to the traditional mid-terrace building. Garden seating and potted plants make it the perfect bijou spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of fizz.

It is possible to stop at the bottom of the steps to unload, and a parking pass is provided for the Mayors Avenue Car Park - a 3-minute walk away.

Please note the flight of stairs up to the property are quite steep and a little uneven.


Parking:

The car park pass provided is valid for the Mayors Avenue Car Park, a 3-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a space, and the car park can be very busy during the high season or during events such as the annual Regatta.

Return to Dartmouth
Very nice stay. My Grandparents used to have a house in Kingswear so this was a great base to explore the area

Gulls Rest review
The property was clean with new modern bathrooms, spacious for our group and in an ideal location. We enjoyed our stay however there are a few touches that would have made it that bit more comfortable. A welcome hamper with some basics such as milk and bread, a washing up cloth/sponge, at least one dishwasher tablet and washing machine tablet and mattress protectors on the beds (a must). I've stayed in numerous holiday rentals where these things are provided and much appreciated especially if you are arriving late in the day/evening.

Lovely weekend break
We visited for new year and felt at home as soon as we arrived. Lovely and clean all the expected amenities and comfy sofas. We brought some logs with us and used the wood burner which made it lovely and cosy. Very close to the harbour. The steps outside were not a problem and short walk to the car park, however it was difficult to get a space as was busy. Definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

Dartmouth - Gulls Rest
Situation was great very central. Steps not particularly easy to negotiate. Beds very comfortable. Liked the terrace area, good to be able to sit outside.

A great place in central Dartmouth
Quality place. Very well decorated. Recommend to this to those wishing to experience the Dartmouth area. Close to everything. There are some noisy sea gulls but it’s not a big deal. Just be careful not to follow sat Nav all the time when it takes you down small country lanes. Woodlands and River Dart Country Park are great options if you have kids. And the beaches at Salcombe and Paignton are great options for kids upto 12 years old. The service was good from the team. We would definitely go back.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022
