I love visiting Dartmouth, especially on Market day or in the sunshine! The Market is every saturday morning and is very popular. As other people have mentioned, parking in dartmouth can be difficult but we've never experienced any problems, for events such as the dartmouth regatta you cannot drive into dartmouth and will need to get the park and ride in which is just up the hill from dartmouth (by sainsburys). From Dartmouth you can take the ferry across the river and catch the steam train which is always fun to do. The shops is Dartmouth are very "sailing type shops" such as musto, Crew clothing etc... there are lovely coffee shops and ...  Read the complete review

We have visited dartmouth twice once arriving by train and once arriving by boat. This place is one of my mums favourite places.

The first thing you should know is that Dartmouth is far from being the next Ibiza, it is a very sleepy town with 99% of the population looking like they are over 60. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ...  Read the complete review

If you want a place for a break or a base for touring south Devon and Cornwall coast, try Dartmouth. The town is marvellous. Row upon row of twee streets with houses and cottages gaily painted in different colours - some so old that they lean at crazy angles. There are sufficient shops to satisfy the whim of every tourist and local alike. One I must mention is a delicatessen in the main square which sells more types of foodstuffs than you can imagine, the smell of the cheese and sliced meats is so delicious that it can make your head swim. An old cobbled yard houses a market on Tuesdays and Fridays. I found the most amazing candle shop, where the array of wax sculpture ..  Read the complete review
