3 Bathrooms The Nautical Nest is a 3 storey Edwardian property in the heart of stunning Dartmouth. This fantastic holiday home has three large bedrooms, 2 with ensuites, and a spacious open plan living area. An added bonus is a Parking Permit for one car. Everything you need for your holiday is on your doorstep, with cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops, the riverfront, riverboats and great scenery a short stroll away. Jump in your car and beaches and gorgeous walks are easily reached.
The Nautical Nest is a typical Edwardian property with period features and large rooms. The entrance is off the main street and the ground floor is a useful space for storing shoes, coats and beach equipment.
Up the stairs and guests are taken to the spacious open plan living area comprising a small but well equipped kitchen, a large dining area, a sumptuous lounge with large TV and a small outside space perfect for al fresco dining or that cheeky glass of wine (or two!).
On the second floor guests will find two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite. Cabin 1 has a double bed. Cabin 2 has a double bed and single bed plus said en suite with a P shaped bath and over bath shower. There is a separate toilet on this floor. Guests using Cabin 1 have to use one of the en suites to shower / bathe. Please be aware of this when booking.
On the top floor is a large king-sized bedroom complete with shower room and plenty of storage. A travel cot (available) can be placed in all bedrooms according to guest need. Guests will need to provide their own cot bedding.
Please note that The Nautical Nest is above the highly popular and well renowned restaurant 'Andria' that offers European Cuisine. Andria is well worth visiting as the food is stunning. Booking advised.
If you love Dartmouth and it's buzz then you will love The Nautical Nest. Its central position and ample space are its selling points and we have tried to equip the property with everything guests should need for the perfect South Hams stay.
