Area
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

Region
Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?

We liked Balmoral House so much last year, we booked it again this year for the Dartmouth Music Festival.. We loved the views and the peace and wanted to stay again in Balmoral House this year. Upon arrival though, our first feeling was one of disappointment. We were not warned at time of booking, or indeed following the booking, of the adjacent building work to the side and front of the property. (The building work to the front meant that the lovely views of the River Dart were blocked from the ground floor and patio). The main issue though was with the building work to the side - a complete refurbishment of an old property. Work started every day at 07.30 and the noise of angle grinders and hammering meant that an Al Fresco breakfast on the lovely patio was not possible without being disrupted by the adjacent work going on. (We did try it a few times but did not expect to have to raise our voices when chatting to each other)! I should stress that our disappointment is not with the property, but with C&C. We were referred to the head office, who have requested videos and pictures. We will be sending these to them in due course. It is also worthwhile mentioning that we requested the windows to be cleaned and the patio to be weeded. (The windows were dusty from the ongoing building work to the side, while the patio needed weeded. Both requests were promptly dealt with by the local office. In sum, a wonderful property, but let down by C&C.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Dartmouth and were blessed with lovely Easter weather! The overall experience was good, apart from being called on numerous occasions before arriving to ask for email addresses..., asking us to review our stay having not even had our holiday! The stay was great but I would encourage some time being spent on the patio area as this is a great space but there was some need for some weeding and TLC to this area to really make it a welcoming space!
