Family Holiday Cottages in Dartmouth

Dartmouth’s riverside setting gives families plenty to do without needing to travel far. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Dartmouth gives you easy access to the town centre, where the kids can watch the ferries shuttling to Kingswear, hop on a river boat trip, or link up a day on the Dartmouth Steam Railway with a cruise along the Dart. The mix of cobbled streets, parks and the waterfront keeps younger ones interested, while the hills and estuary views still feel like a proper Devon escape for adults.

With children in tow, days often build themselves. Whether it's a ferry ride to Kingswear, a short walk out to Dartmouth Castle, a trip on the steam train or a river cruise, then ice creams on a bench or fish and chips by the water. When you want a bigger day out, Woodlands Family Theme Park gives you rides and indoor play to burn off energy before you head back to town. A holiday home in Dartmouth makes it easy to juggle naps, early teas and tired legs, with space to spread out toys, heat up something simple for supper and watch the river quieten down in the evening.
