Boasting the ‘wow factor’ in spades, The Dart House is the perfect setting for special celebrations with your favourite people (and your favourite dogs!) in tow.

Sleeping up to twelve guests and three furry friends, the breathtaking house is gently elevated over the tidal River Dart, on the outskirts of the pretty South Devon village of Dittisham.

Boasting huge floor-to-ceiling feature windows in the lounge, the panoramic riverside views are truly spectacular… and the rest of your party will be thanking you profusely for choosing such a wonderful place!

Sociably spacious, the ground floor also features a second lounge area, which is ideal for relaxing in front of an evening fire, as you catch up with your favourite TV shows, or laugh together over a fun board game.

Whip up hearty meals in the show-stopping kitchen area, with its electric range oven and hob… there are also two handy dishwashers to help with all the clearing up! On sunny days, simply open the bi-folding doors and head out to the dining patio… a truly heavenly spot with tree-and-river views.

Meanwhile, you’ll have five elegant bedrooms to choose from.  The ground floor is home to a twin with a refreshing en-suite shower room, and its very own patio area that’s ideal for morning coffee.

Continue on to the first floor to discover three more bedrooms, a kingsize with an en-suite shower and Juliet balcony, a second kingsize room and a twin, all boasting mesmerising views. There’s an indulgent bathroom on this floor, too, featuring a roll-top bath you’ll want to soak in for hours.

The river is ideal for watersports of almost every description, and there are plenty of Blue Flag beaches close by, including Blackpool Sands and Broadsands.
