River-View Bungalow with Parking, above Historic Dartmouth

15 Churchfields has more than just great home charm, each picture window delivers a breathtaking view of the sublime Dart Valley and rolling hills. Set atop historic Dartmouth, the kitchen-diner opens up to an even broader vista - while away the balmy summer days on your private balcony to watch the water glinting in the sunlight, and the boats gently sway in their moorings. With ample off-road parking and close transport links, it's a perfect base to head off exploring the divine South Hams.

Summary:

Relaxation and adventure are equally synonymous with 15 Churchfields; breakfast on the glass-fronted balcony looking over the river preludes a day of exploring, with a down-hill stroll into town next on the to-do list! Exploring the rich history of Dartmouth is a must, with a fascinating naval history which includes the meeting of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, to name one of many events. After diving into the past, why not stop off at one of the fine local restaurants, delis or cafés for a hot drink and a bite to eat. Prefer the great outdoors No problem - a selection of dishes can be ordered to take away, including the award-winning fish and chips from Rockfish, where fresh local fish are caught and served daily. And top it all off with a delicious local ice cream from Dartmouth Ice Cream or Salcombe Dairy - a delicious local treat that's sure to put a smile on anyone's face.

Families with adventurous young explorers are sure to love nearby Woodlands, just five miles out from Dartmouth, where all-weather fun is guaranteed. With a mixture of rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, and even a toboggan run, you're sure of a good day out. Or why not step away from the shore and take up one of the many boat rides which can be caught from the waterfront, with sights to see including historical Greenway Holt, the holiday home of Agatha Christie, and a selection of nautical wildlife too, from seals to sea birds.

And don't worry about the walk back up hill to the property - transport in Dartmouth is affordable and regular, with bus services frequently running from the bandstand and stopping just 200m from the property.
