luxury breaks at dart marina

The River Dart, long empty beaches, a castle to explore and a town packed with quirky independents. Dartmouth in winter is a feast for the senses. Take a spacious suite full of creature comforts and stay a while. Explore the South West Coast Path, paddleboard around Burgh Island or walk into town for lunch. Soak up the history and the last rays of sunlight before heading back for afternoon tea. Maybe a game of cards, a good book or just enjoy watching the river. Thoughts soon turn to dinner. How about fresh Dartmouth crab or dry-aged native beef cooked over charcoal, a feast of Devon cheeses and local wine from Sharpham. Rest and recharge. King size beds with handmade mattresses are hard to leave. Binoculars bring the outside in – the captivating river view changes minute to minute. Around the hotel are a number of great beaches to explore; Bantham, Bigbury, Blackpool Sands and South Milton are all within easy reach.
