Supremely convenient location. All home comforts. 45 seconds to river. (NOTE: the lead photo on this advert is taken at Bayard's Cove which is approximately 45 seconds walk from the property.) A perfect combination of (extremely) close proximity to the river plus exceptionally easy access direct off the street / from your car. No need to drag suitcases up/down narrow cobbled alleyways. Fabulously practical location. Being so close to the river and riverbank, the property avoids the (often significant) access and or parking problems associated with many other rental properties in town which are located halfway up (or at the top of) the steep lanes and alleyways leading down to the river Dart. Not only does this property provide very close proximity to the river (45 seconds), shops, cafes and restaurants but it also enjoys the major advantage of being located on a ‘sensible’ street by Dartmouth standards (normal / reasonably wide street unlike many others in town). Guests appreciate the convenience of stopping their car right outside the property (without obstructing other vehicles) to unload luggage, drop off passengers and shopping etc. before then parking either in a space on that same street or in the Mayor’s Avenue car park (permit available when booking). Where possible owners try to operate a Saturday / Saturday calendar. Before making a reservation via this site, please email us for confirmation of your requested dates / days of the week. Thanks!

In winter (1st Oct to end April) there is no time limit to this parking however during summer, daytime parking is restricted to one hour slot but remains unlimited overnight. Because of this, the rental rate includes the Dartmouth, "Mayor’s Avenue" car park permit. Three mins stroll from property. The parking permit is (very!) useful. Without the permit, in winter, space permitting, you can park 24/7 on the street but in summer, you can only park outside the property for one hour during daytime (spaces permitting) and overnight from 5pm one day til 10am the next day but remember, spaces are not guaranteed on the street so it’s good to have the permit for town centre car park 3 mins easy stroll away where you can leave car 24/7.
