Property information

Merchant’s Rest is located within the heart of Dartmouth, South Devon. It is a contemporary first floor apartment within a prominent Grade I listed building. It is accessed by a steep flight of stairs which may make it not suitable for guests with mobility issues or for very young children. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (max 2) for an additional charge of £20 per dog, per night. The original fireplace and mullion windows remain yet the kitchen has been upgraded with high-gloss doors and stone work surfaces. It also has a breakfast bar with two stools meanwhile the living space has been furnished with two sofas and a coffee table. The result is a contemporary, light and airy feel; perfect for relaxing after a day spent exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding South Devon coastline. Merchant’s Rest has two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed whilst the second bedroom is a cabin room furnished with a 4ft double bed with a 2ft 6 single bed on top. We recommend that the double bed is only used for one adult or one child and the single bed, given its size, is used for one child. There is one family bathroom at Merchant’s Rest which features a bath with shower ...
