About Judge's Cottage

Judges Cottage is your gateway to adventure and relaxation. Located on the breathtaking eastern shore of the River Dart next to the scenic South West Coast Path, this cottage boasts spectacular marina views that will take your breath away. Perfect for couples, families, or friends (and even one lucky dog), Judge's Cottage is your ticket to an unforgettable holiday near the vibrant town of Dartmouth. Step inside this beautifully refurbished retreat, where every corner exudes charm and comfort. With fantastic water views from the king and twin bedrooms, you'll wake up feeling inspired by the stunning scenery. Refresh in the modern full-sized bathroom, and then prepare for adventure. A short ferry ride will deliver you to a world filled with eclectic shops, cosy cafés, and lively local pubs like the George & Dragon and The Sail Loft.

Dartmouth is an unbeatable mix of style and laid-back charm, offering thrills for every type of holidaymaker. There's something in this vibrant town to make your heart race, whether you're a die-hard shopper, a sailing fanatic, or a live music aficionado. Explore the unique independent boutiques and High Street favourites in the Old Market Square, or lose yourself in the artistry displayed at the galleries on Foss Street. There are buzzing year-round markets every Friday and Saturday, with extra markets on Tuesday and Thursday during the summer. Don't miss your chance for the mouth-watering Good Food and Artisan Market on the second Saturday of each month for fresh local produce directly from the source.

You can experience history like never before as you uncover Dartmouth's treasures. From the National Trust’s iconic Dartmouth Castle to the storied Bayard's Cove Fort, there are many captivating attractions to explore. Hop aboard the historic Kingswear Castle, a charming steam-powered paddleboat making waves since 1924, or the steam train along the coast to Paignton. The South West Coast Path runs past your house as an invitation for you to embark on breathtaking hikes to Mansands, Brixham, and Paignton. With endless opportunities for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and sailing, adventure is right outside your door. And for some beachside bliss, the stunning Slapton and Blackpool beaches are just a jump away. You're only about half an hour's drive from the picturesque English Riviera, favourite attractions like Agatha Christie’s enchanting home at Greenway, and the breathtaking National Trust gem, Coleton Fishacre. But that’s not all! Dartmouth's annual events calendar is packed with excitement, featuring the Dart Music Festival, the iconic Sailing Regatta, a week of Shakespearean magic, and the tantalising Dartmouth Food Festival.

Embark on a dream self-catering adventure at Judge's Cottage in Dartmouth, where every day is a new chance to discover, experience excitement, and have unforgettable fun by the water. Owners also have Morocco House sleeping 6, subject to availability both can be booked together.
