Luxury Riverside Retreat in Dartmouth with views

Trafalgar Cottage is a stunning riverside retreat in Dartmouth, combining timeless coastal charm with elegant modern living. Set high in the sought after Above Town, this beautiful multi level home offers spectacular River Dart views from every floor, stylish interiors, and peaceful outdoor spaces, the perfect base for exploring Dartmouth’s winding streets, boutique shops, and waterfront walks. Regrettably, no children under 5.

Here at Your Devon Escape we are on hand to assist with any questions or concerns but will not impinge on your visit.

Trafalgar Cottage is a moment’s walk from Dartmouth’s unique town centre and the many river cruises and ferries. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach, a five-minute drive or a one hour and half walk away along the South West Coast Path.

The property is on the South West Coast Path so, simply step out the front door to enjoy. Take a short walk to Dartmouth Castle and Sugary Cove, or take the ferry across to Kingswear and visit The Daymark to experience the beautiful views.

Families with adventurous young explorers are sure to love nearby Woodlands, just five miles out, where all-weather fun is guaranteed. With a mixture of rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, and even a toboggan run, you’re sure of a good day out. Or why not step away from the shore and take one of the many boat rides which can be caught from the waterfront, with sights to see including historical Greenway Holt, the home of Agatha Christie, and a selection of nautical wildlife too, from seals to sea birds.

Dartmouth is an all year round destination hosting a variety of regional events like the yearly Dart Music Festival (May), the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta (August), and the Dartmouth Food Festival (October).

Trafalgar Cottage captures the essence of Dartmouth, a vibrant coastal town known for its winding lanes, colourful cottages, and breathtaking river vistas.
Nestled in the desirable Above Town, this striking white property with its curved façade and oak front door is a true gem, offering luxurious comfort and unforgettable views of the River Dart.

Step inside to discover a beautifully designed home where every detail has been thoughtfully curated. The contemporary kitchen, with dove grey and navy cabinetry, quartz worktops, and an inviting breakfast island, opens onto a Juliet balcony, the perfect spot to soak up the morning light and sweeping river views.

Upstairs, a light-filled living space awaits. Elegant herringbone flooring, whitewashed walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors frame panoramic views across the river to Kingswear and out to sea. On cooler evenings, the wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere, ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine while watching boats drift by.

On the lower floors, two serene bedrooms, both with king-size beds, provide peaceful retreats, each with access to private balconies and wall-mounted TVs. The first bedroom enjoys bright river views through large sliding doors, while the main suite on the lowest level offers a luxurious round spa bath with a tactile pebble feature wall, a stylish en-suite shower room, and direct access to a private terrace. This suite also offers flexibility to split the bed into twin singles (with at least seven days’ notice).

Stylish shower rooms, clever lighting, and warm oak floors add to the home’s contemporary coastal feel, while the terraced outdoor spaces make the most of the spectacular setting.

Whether you’re watching the boats glide along the river, exploring Dartmouth’s historic charm, or simply relaxing in your riverside haven, Trafalgar Cottage offers the perfect blend of sophistication, comfort, and location for an unforgettable Devon escape.
