Keepers Cottage has the best of both worlds. Holiday at your own pace in a self-catering home to call your own while also having access to the dining, spa, and leisure facilities on your doorstep – situated as you are on the grounds of the Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa. The pool and tennis courts are yours to enjoy. Relax and dine at your leisure, preparing your own fine meals to dine around your own table or let the clubhouse chefs do the work for you. The choice is always yours.

Dartmouth is a town steeped in maritime history, from the castle at the mouth of the river that has stood for over 600 years, to the cobbled quayside at Bayards Cove where the Mayflower was made ship-shape before its voyage from Plymouth to America in the 1600s, up to the imposing Britannia Royal Naval College overlooking the town, defending the nation's seas since the early 1900s. Dartmouth's renowned variety of shops and restaurants are on your doorstep, including breakfast hotspot Café Alf Resco - a hit with locals and visitors alike. At Bayards Cove, see where final repairs were made to the Mayflower before she set sail from Plymouth and onto America. On the riverfront, you're spoiled for choice for seafood dining and drinks while you watch the boats drift along the river. There are also fast, frequent ferries, leisurely boat rides, and not forgetting the steam train from Kingswear and its romantic route along the valley shoreline and onto Totnes and Torbay . Dining Out Vibrant cafés and delis, cosy inns, and sublime seafood - all within walking distance - including TV chef Mitch Tonks' go-to restaurants ‘The Seahorse’ and ‘Rockfish’. Local favourites include Kendrick’s and Taylor's in the town centre, as well as hearty pub meals at The Floating Bridge and historic The Dartmouth Arms. The Sportsman’s Arms, as you head out of town, is a favourite for a Sunday carvery. The surrounding villages also have culinary gems, such as the Laughing Monk in Strete, and Radius 7 in Stoke Fleming. Shopping If you prefer to cook yourself - or to stock up as you start your visit - there are supermarkets on the main road into Dartmouth (Sainsbury’s and Lidl). There's also an M&S Food Hall and a Co-Op in Dartmouth town centre, plus independent shops selling local produce. Towns to explore The eclectic market town of Totnes is a 10-mile drive, with its broad mix of shops and restaurants (especially for some tasty, inventive, vegetarian and vegan cuisine). From...
