About Windwhistle
High above Dartmouth, with the river below and the town a short walk away.
A house with a view
Windwhistle commands some of the highest views across the south of Dartmouth. It is a few minutes' walk into the centre of the town, but on the outskirts, so you can reach the National Trust countryside without contending with Dartmouth traffic.
Guests talk most about the views from the balconies — “especially at night” — and about the hill, which one party says gave them stronger calf muscles. They also talk about the parking space, the harbour, the ferries and the steam train, and the food in town.
