Welcome to Dartmouth, Devon
High above Dartmouth, with the river below
Balcony views, the harbour a short walk away and the best of South Devon on the doorstep. Here's what past guests loved, and what you need for your stay.
“we have never felt so at home as we did here!”
— C
“The views from the balcony are amazing - especially at night.”
“Very clean and cared for house; light and airy.”
“Another delightful week!”
About the house
A short walk from the town, a long way up from the river
Windwhistle commands some of the highest views across the south of Dartmouth. It is a few minutes' walk into the centre but on the outskirts, so the National Trust countryside is close and Dartmouth's traffic is not.
Guests have filled the guest book with their favourite moments — evenings on the balcony, days out by boat and steam train, and the occasional hill. We've gathered them here so you can plan your own stay, in their words.

What guests value most
The themes that come up again and again across 20 handwritten reviews.
Views from the balconies
Guests single out the views over the town and river — and say they are especially good at night.
The hill
An easy walk down to the harbour and a more challenging one back. Guests say it is worth it for the view.
Boats, ferries and the steam train
Sails to Greenway, ferries across the river and the steam train: guests use every mode of transport.
National Trust days
Greenway and Coleton Fishacre are the guest-book favourites, with gardens and views to match.
Eating out
The Embankment, Kendricks, the Seven Stars and plenty of fish and chips — booking ahead is recommended.
Parking and location
An off-road parking space takes the stress out of the stay, and there is so much to do without the car.
