The Neighborhood:
It’s hard to believe that Dartmouth’s bustling town centre with all its shops, bars, restaurants and heritage destinations is just two minutes’ walk away. The End House is ideal for exploring all the centuries-old harbour town centre has to offer on foot, from the quay, a plethora of shops, pubs and restaurants to its stunning architecture. Within a few minutes’ drive by car is the castle, royal naval college and beaches and within easy reach are the pretty market towns of Brixham, Torquay, Kingsbridge and Salcombe, stunning beaches of Blackpool Sands, Beesands, Slapton Sands and Man Sands and Dart Valley walks. Whether you are a walker, sightseer or beach goer, this is the perfect base for you.
Clinging to a steep hillside and cradling an exceptionally pretty harbour, Dartmouth’s ancient narrow streets reflect a prosperous maritime history, which began in the 1100s, when the medieval town was one of England’s principal ports. The End House is tucked away from Dartmouth’s hustle and bustle so is the perfect place to relax away from the action. But just few minutes’ walk away from are the town’s treasures: independent shops, art galleries, delicatessens and chic restaurants lend it a real Knightsbridge-on-Sea atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else in the region, and a cobbled marketplace with colourful stalls selling local produce make it a real foodie destination. Don’t forget the pubs: the town’s naval history means there is a roaring trade in traditional nautical inns in Dartmouth.
The town is a gem of the south-west and you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding things to do. Crime writer Agatha Christie’s home Greenway is a delight, while stunning walks, the ancient Dartmouth Castle, a fascinating museum and the royal naval college are real treasures to be explored.
Catch an art house movie at The Flavel, Dartmouth’s newly refurbished cinema, theatre and arts centre or spend a fun, adventurous hour winning your freedom at Dartmouth Escapes Rooms. The town also holds a range of annual festivals including the regatta, a food festival, a craft festival and Shakespeare week.
Dartmouth’s epic naval history is reflected in its modern residents’ enduring love affair with the water, and visitors flock to the harbour to enjoy the sights as well as to get out and enjoy the myriad watersports on offer.
