Elevated Family Home with Stunning River Views

We stayed 4 nights. Lovely house, just as described. Fabulous views of the Dart Estuary from the deck in front of the house.

Comfortable house with great views of the river, you just have to be prepared for the steps to get into town.

We had enjoyed a lovely long weekend at UpHigh, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone and stay here again next time we visit Dartmouth. The house has the most spectacular view across the estuary and the house itself was immaculate upon arrival and very comfortable for everyone. Unfortunately we could not locate the gas bottle for the BBQ which would have been great to enjoy a BBQ with the fabulous view. However this didn't dampen our spirits as it gave us the opportunity to explore a number of fine restaurants and pubs in town. Looking forward to our next visit...hopefully sooner than later!

Spent 4 nights here in early Sept 22. Cottage was good. Beds very comfortable and kitchen well stocked with all that you would need. Even have a wine fridge in the utility room. Dartmouth is nice, though be prepared for uphill walking back to the house. Uphigh is located on “Above Town,” a narrow road that runs parallel to the seafront road below. There are steps at intervals down to the road. The steps near the house were pretty steep (72 steps) but walk along in the direction of town and you’ll find another set that are less steep. Talking of the narrow road. I was concerned as I have a Lexus 4x4 and had read information tgat only small cars could access the road. I checked on Streetview and saw a wider car there so decided to take my chances. The car did get through the narrower parts of the road but only had approx 4 inches each side of the “folded in” wing mirrors. Advice I would give: Access from the town centre end of the road. It’s a two way street but coming from the town centre end makes it easier.

We had a lovely few days at Up High enjoying the amazing views in gorgeous weather! We were very comfortable with all we needed. Only thing I would say, it is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems or problems with climbing quite steep steps up to the house from the town of Dartmouth which was quite demanding every evening after dinner in town!

This is a great place to stay, very comfortable, well equipped with great views over the harbour and a lovely terrace to sit and watch the activity on the river. Uphigh is in a quiet location, and as long as you dont mind climbing lots of steps and leaving your car half a mile away, the perfect place to stay. We loved our week there, and even extended our stay by a couple of days.

We stayed at Uphigh for 3 nights (2 couples) and had a wonderful stay. The house is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with all necessities provided. The location was amazing, overlooking the river and across to Kingswear. Because of the location being high above town, probably more suited to older families and adults as access to the house can be tricky with a car (very narrow road) or lots of steps from town (about 10 min walk) but this was what made the views so perfect and it was so peaceful as practically no traffic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property and thank Dart Valley cottages for being so helpful and responsive when booking. Dartmouth is a lovely town and an excellent base for the area.
