Dartmouth Local Area

A guide to Dartmouth and the surrounding area

Known as the jewel of the South Hams, the pretty waterside town of Dartmouth is a popular boating centre, boasting a world famous regatta and an assortment of cultural events each year. Steeped in history, Dartmouth's narrow streets and cobbled lanes contain an abundance of chic boutiques and galleries, as well as assorted gourmet restaurants, delicatessens, pubs and cafés.

Keeping guard above the town is the world renowned Britannia Royal Naval College, designed and built in 1902 by the distinguished architect Sir George Aston Webb. The port has approximately 2,800 moorings and the river is navigable from Dartmouth right up to the weir at Totnes.

For those who travel and commute, Exeter has an international airport (approximately 40 miles away), Plymouth has a ferry terminal (around 30 miles), while Devon's comprehensive rail network includes road links to the M5 motorway, giving easy access to the rest of the UK and Europe.

Our Reviews

“...We are first time landlords and Stags managed all the Health and Safety, legal and financial requirements we needed in place as landlords. That was such a weight off our shoulders! They have great skill in selecting tenants, carry out regular property inspections, ensure that all safety certificates are updated and respond immediately to any tenant queries. As a result, our property remained in perfect condition throughout the tenancy.”

“We would highly recommend Stags for both renting and selling a property. We worked with the Tavistock branch when renting our house in Tavistock and for when we decided to sell it. We don't live in Devon, so having an estate agent in the same town as the property was incredibly valuable. Whilst renting we were informed of any issues arising and found Stags to be excellent at resolving them quickly and efficiently. During the process of selling, the team, like the rental team, were always at the end of the phone to answer questions or discuss options.”

“Maria & Catherine at Stags have been extremely helpful with the setup and first time let of our property in Tavistock. From seeing it prior to refurbishment to getting our tenants in and settled they have been first class - would not hesitate to recommend them.”
