Rose Cottage is a charming three-storey period terraced house in the very heart of Dartmouth, nestled behind the harbour. Recently renovated, it encapsulates the characterful individuality reflected in the charming buildings in this ancient yet vibrant town. Inside, modern, thoughtful décor and fittings make for the perfect romantic getaway for couples, or a fun and easy holiday with friends and family – and room for a small dog, too. A parking permit is supplied for the nearby car park.

A wonderful stay

We arrived and fell in love, what a beautiful cottage. Everything we could possibly need, including a lovely box of mince pies and a bottle of prossecco.

Beds were comfortable, showers worked, kitchen used and everything worked and finally perfect position in Dartmouth.

We will definitely be back.

Thank you

A nice property in the centre of Dartmouth, well equipped with everything needed. If you want a special place to stay in the centre of Dartmouth you will not find a better place and it is next to the pub

We had a lovely weekend at Rose Cottage. It’s perfectly placed in old Dartmouth, near the shops and cafe culture and a stone’s throw from the river. The house itself is a little tired - rainwater dropped from the pub roof into the back yard all weekend. But you are going to get quirks with an old house!

This was a brilliant cottage and what a location, right in the centre of town with great access to all Dartmouth has to offer, with easy free parking for one vehicle. The property was lovely and clean and the heating was on demand throughout which was great. Great communications throughout from the Dart Valley Cottages Team. My only one observation would be the need for some new crockery, but now I am being really picky

Delightful cottage in ideal location - close to all amenities and attractions in Dartmouth. Not suitable for children with kitchen stools - for eating at kitchen counter (only available table space) - being very uncomfortable. Was given wrong password for wifi but when requested was given new one but wifi was very spasmodic and we were reduced to using data. There are not enough tea/coffee cups and a baking tray would be useful. Bathrooms excellent but second floor bed uncomfortable.

Lovely cottage in the centre of Dartmouth. Spotless and very cosy and comfy. It has everything you need in an excellent location for exploring Dartmouth.

We had a great time at Rose Cottage. The only things I could fault were the soft beds and unyielding pillows. And we could have wished that the church bell didn’t ring every hour through the night! But otherwise all was terrific, in a spotlessly clean and comfortable small house.

Overall accommodation was excellent, clean bedding and bathrooms. Really nicely decorated interiors. We loved the blankets downstairs! Team were really flexible with access on first day too. This was a great help.
A few things we wanted to bring to your attention.
- The first floor landing window and bottom half of the stable door are both in need of replacement
-The courtyard is an opportunity to create a nice outdoor space which is an opportunity missed in our opinion.
- Second floor bathroom could do with a blind as it’s not very private
- The was a visible overspill from the upstairs waste pipe when the toilet is flushed. This might be contributing to our first point and a reason why you can’t use the outdoor space.

None of these were detractors from our stay but we wanted to make you aware of them.

If you want to be in the centre of town and near the waters edge, then this is lovely, and a very pretty and historic location.
Well equipped with two decent bedrooms - one King and one superking, and two bathrooms, one with bath and shower over and one with a decent sized shower cubicle.
The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, fridge and freezer and all the equipment you could need, though not great for dining as there is no table and only room for three high chairs on the island, with a high "tractor seat" that made sitting awkward as a fourth chair.
Comfy settees, good televisions and a potentially great heating and water system. Only one parking permit, so if you arrive in two cars, you need to find somewhere else a bit out of town. Also , get to the Mayors car park early if you want to use the permit, as it fills up most days and is the only place you can use the permit in town, though you can use the park and ride site. You can get the car close to the house through very narrow lanes, but only for unloading and loading,
Finally, there were a number of maintenance issues that need rectification, some minor and some more important, and I have advised the agent separately. These did not spoil the stay, but were a niggle. I am sure they will be fixed in the close season. Overall, we had a great time.

We enjoyed a fabulous week in this stunning cottage, tucked away by the church.

The cottage was beautifully equipped and accommodation over 3 floors great - perfect with a teenager!

Only criticism was the beds are incredibly soft which isnt my preference!

I would highly recommend staying here!

The cottage is ideally placed in the centre of Dartmouth. It was clean and very comfortable. The parking permit was really useful and it was fairly easy to find a parking space in the main car park in Dartmouth later in the day.
Some of the windows in the cottage did not have blinds or curtains. For those windows in the bathrooms we ended up putting something over them as makeshift blinds. We couldn’t find a shaving point in either of the bathroom unless we missed it.
Overall we enjoyed our stay in the cottage and would recommend it.

We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage which is brilliantly located right in the centre of Dartmouth, literally just steps away from the cafés, delicatessens, shops and pubs, the river and ferries. It was cleaned to a very high standard (we are very fussy!), and well appointed- exactly as the descriptions state. The super-king sized bed was perfect for us, just like we have at home and we slept very well - hardly heard the aforementioned church bells but the seagulls were quite noisy (nothing they can do about that!). Both bathrooms were nicely fitted and we particularly liked the shower room on the upper floor, rather than the shower over the bath adjoining the first floor bedroom. We found getting a reservation for dinner in Dartmouth quite difficult due to the COVID restrictions on pubs and restaurants as most were fully booked for the week, so we cooked in the cottage more than we had planned. Everything is there if you want to do this - only thing missing was some oven gloves - and of course the M&S store near the car park was a lifesaver, as was the Co-op which is just at the end of the street from the cottage. The car park pass worked wonderfully well and it’s great that you can use it at other car parks in the South Hams area and we made good use of that privilege.
We would definitely recommend Rose Cottage if you like to be in the centre of town but just be aware that it doesn’t have any usable outside space - so nowhere to sit and have that evening glass of wine (other than a pub!)

This is lovely, well presented cottage right in the heart of Dartmouth. In this location, I expected to get a bit of noise from the surrounding properties but in fact it was remarkably quiet, especially at night. It couldn't be more conveniently placed to reach every shop and restaurant in Dartmouth and we loved it. Even in its pared-down Covid-safe state it was welcoming and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay easy and fuss free. The open-plan living arrangements make the cottage feel roomy downstairs and there's more than enough space in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable bed, a good, roomy and powerful shower and comfortable sofas made for a really relaxed stay. The car park pass that comes with the cottage is a big bonus too. The managing agents were very helpful and responsive - a minor issue with the freezer was sorted out very quickly with the minimum of fuss.

We won't hesitate to go back to Rose Cottage and are already planning a stay in 2021.

Super comfortable, easy to find, parking worked well although possibly tricky if you are on your own with small children or someone has less mobility as you have to unload and park. Kitchen has everything you need. Location so lovely - right next to church but bells didn’t bother us at all. Bedroom floors really really lovely - loved waking up to sunshine and sky views. WiFi, smart TVs, nest and hey google tech all brill. Would stay again and would definitely recommend

A lovely cottage. Immaculate. All new facilities. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Not quite warm enough in living room for me but I like it toasty in winter. Central Dartmouth but no noise at all except for church bells. Best lovely shops and restaurants. Highly recommended
