Before You Arrive

We're looking forward to welcoming you. Here's what to know for a smooth stay.

01

Finding us

On the outskirts of Dartmouth, with some of the highest views across the south of the town.

  • Windwhistle is a few minutes' walk from the centre of Dartmouth, but on the outskirts.
  • National Trust countryside is nearby, without having to contend with Dartmouth traffic.
  • The house is on a sloping street — guests say the walk down to the harbour is easy and the walk back up is more of a challenge.
  • Guests mention an off-road parking space and say it takes the stress out of the stay.

The house

A few things worth knowing when you arrive.

  • Heating is on a timer and shouldn't be changed. The thermostat is in the corridor between the kitchen and the front door.
  • Both bedrooms have luxury pocket-sprung beds; the bed in the en-suite bedroom has a medium side and a soft side.
  • TV: press the middle green/yellow button for internet services (Netflix and Amazon if you have a subscription). To play a DVD, use the top-right “Source” button.
  • The garden cabin has heating and lights, including an external light switch. Please turn everything off after use.

Good to know

A small request that helps everyone enjoy their stay.

  • Quiet time is 10pm–8am. Windwhistle and The Boat House below are attached period properties.
  • Greenway lies up the river, and the house features in the children's book 'The Golden Secret' by Simon Gilmore.
  • You'll find the guest book in the house — please add your own memories before you leave.
