This charming cottage has recently been completely renovated and beautifully furnished for a truly comfortable and welcoming holiday year-round. The front deck is a lovely spot for a summer morning coffee, while the log burner is perfect for a cosy winter’s evening. Located just behind Market Square you’re seconds away from Dartmouth’s shops, bars, and restaurants yet in a prime elevated position peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle below. A parking permit is provided.

Lovely weekend break

We visited for new year and felt at home as soon as we arrived. Lovely and clean all the expected amenities and comfy sofas. We brought some logs with us and used the wood burner which made it lovely and cosy. Very close to the harbour. The steps outside were not a problem and short walk to the car park, however it was difficult to get a space as was busy. Definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

Situation was great very central. Steps not particularly easy to negotiate. Beds very comfortable. Liked the terrace area, good to be able to sit outside.

This is a lovely, comfortable house in the heart of Dartmouth. The house is just a couple of minutes from everything that Dartmouth has to offer. The house comes with a parking permit which means you can park for free in a car park 5 mins away.

The house is over 3 levels and up some steps so avoid if you have mobility issues. The living room and kitchen are big, comfortable and nicely decorated. The 3 bedrooms are nicely presented and great for our group of 4 adults.

There is also an attractive yard at the front of the house where you can enjoy nice weather.

The only downside was that there was only one soap and dishwasher tablets in the property. This meant we needed to go to a shop to stock up on toiletries but there are plenty of shops around the town.

Great central location in Dartmouth - you can walk anywhere from here. Lovely spacious house with 2 bathrooms (ideal with 2 grown up daughters) and an outdoor terrace. Beautifully decorated. Just be aware this is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems - tricky stone steps to reach the house and then 3 floors in the house. Otherwise a perfect choice.

Gull’s Rest is in a perfect location in the heart of Dartmouth, which we found to be very convenient. The cottage was very homely and clean with comfortable beds, lovely linen and towels. It provided everything we needed as a family with a well equipped kitchen and we would certainly recommend it to others. We had excellent communication with Dart Valley Cottages and hope to return again in the future.

Husband and I enjoyed a comfortable stay at Gulls Rest with our two teenagers.
The property was immaculately presented with all the equipment needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The beds were perfect for us to have a decent nights sleep.
The front terrace was another great space for us to use in the evening.
Being so close to the centre of Dartmouth was fantastic and really close to the market, pubs, cafes and shops it just took the pressure off having to go out in the car.
We’ll definitely be booking to stay again.

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location!
We were worried that it may be a little noisy as it was so close to town, literally a few steps, but it was beautifully quiet. The terrace had the sun on it all day. As it was April it was chilly in the evenings and we made use of the gorgeous log burner. The cottage was excellent and the beds extremely comfortable. Very tastefully decorated, great bathrooms and kitchen and everything you could wish for. We couldn’t fault it!

We have stayed in Dartmouth many times so were familiar with the location of the cottage which does not have parking but is only about 2 mins walk from the main car park. Was a bit of an issue with the living room being on the ground floor with kitchen above but we knew this prior to booking, however trying to get the heating right took a day or so of trying different settings on the radiators as it was boiling upstairs and freezing in the living room.
The house was largely clean but the radiator in the top floor bathroom is a towel rail type with loads of rails and it was very dusty as was the outside of the shower tray in the same bathroom but overall it was clean and well equipped.
Would benefit from somewhere to store muddy boots but space in the entrance straight into living room is limited.
Wouldn't stay again but only due to the layout - no other reason.

A lovely spacious house, centrally located in the centre of town but very quiet. It is furnished to a very high standard and the kitchen is well equipped too. A lovely private patio at the front of the property is a real bonus. There are a number of steps up the front door which are steep which may not be suitable for some but well worth it for the peace and tranquillity.

Gulls Rest had everything we needed for our family stay . Perfectly clean. Great central location. Parking was difficult, but it was Bank Holiday weekend. We will definitely return to Gulls Rest.

We booked with Dart Valley Cottages again because the quality of the accommodation last year was excellent, but we wanted to be in a more central location in the town, rather than on the hill, and Gulls Rest did not disappoint in any way. The brand new kitchen was light, spacious and very well equipped, the bathrooms were tastefully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Our two teenage girls thought the wifi was excellent and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy our stay there.

We were able to unload at the bottom of the steps leading up to the property, and the elevated deck above North Ford Road (only a path really with no vehicular traffic) provided a very private outdoor dining and relaxing space. The property was just a 3 minutes walk to the Quay which was great.

The only slight surprise was being able to clearly hear some noise from the adjacent property occasionally, especially on the 2nd floor, but this was not a major problem for us.

Clean comfortable house in a convenient location. The wood burner is lovely and the bedrooms are really comfortable.

It’s a very new let and I think because of this there are a few things lacking in terms of equipment and furnishings.

For example there needs to be more plates and cutlery so that you don’t keep running out. Some champagne glasses would be nice. Waste paper baskets in the bedrooms and living room are needed and the bathrooms are missing toilet brushes!

This didn’t detract from our stay and we’d definitely book again. Thank you!

We had a super stay at Gulls Rest, the cottage is centrally located for the town and the parking was easy and a short walk away. The cottage had a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed and a great log burner. Dartmouth is a great place for exploring the coastpath and all the ferries across the estuary were handy for getting around without using the car.The cottage has about 25 uneven steps to climb from the street to the front door so may not be suitable for everyone but was no problem for us.
