3 Bell Court is a substantial apartment with all the charm you could hope for while staying in historic Dartmouth. From the cobblestone path, through a wrought iron gate, is this generously-sized apartment set in a tranquil location, tucked away behind the historic market square. This is a much sought-after holiday home. Dartmouth's delights are all within very easy reach. Peruse the artisanal stalls and try something different for dinner, complemented with some Dartmouth Gin or delicious Devon fudge.
The famous cobbled Foss Street - arguably one of the most photographed streets in England - is a very short walk from the apartment with its selection of independent shops and, of course, many cafes, pubs and restaurants close by. Not far from the end of Foss Street, you will find yourself in Royal Avenue Gardens with its splendid bandstand in the centre, often the focus for local entertainers and musicians. Bell Court is positioned just a couple of streets back from the Embankment with its charming walk all the way along from the Higher Ferry to the historic Lower Ferry, with ample opportunity for all types of refreshments on the way! Dartmouth itself is positioned within the South Hams, with easy access to other towns and villages, including eclectic Totnes, and head over the water towards Brixham and the English Riviera, where seal and dolphin watching is a regular pastime.
The relaxed feel of 3 Bell Court is apparent after a day out with its ample space for a family meal and comfy seating area in the sitting room. In addition, there is an outside patio area for evening drinks and nibbles, or indeed an area for morning coffee. Please keep noise must also be kept to a minimum as sound travels easily within the courtyard area.
