NEW Listing. Nestled in a prime location on the coast path, Ferrymans Rest is the perfect retreat for your South Devon escape. Sleeping four guests comfortably, this modern holiday home offers a stylish and well-thought-out living space, ideal for relaxing and recharging after a day of exploration.
Here at Your Devon Escape we intend to leave you alone but are on hand to answer any questions you might have.
Dartmouth is an idyllic base for an escape to Devon. Enjoy stunning views from the banks of the River Dart as you stroll along the embankment. Wander the streets of independent shops, restaurants and cafés. Indulge in a boat trip on the River Dart, or catch the ferry and hop on the steam train.
Families with adventurous young explorers are sure to love nearby Woodlands, just five miles out from this idyllic property, where all-weather fun is guaranteed. With a mixture of rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, and even a toboggan run, you’re sure of a good day out. Or why not step away from the shore and take a boat ride up to see the sights of the historic Greenway Holt, home of Agatha Christie.
Blackpool Sands is the closest beach, a five-minute drive or a one-hour and half walk away along the South West Coast Path. There are many beaches and walks to explore along this stretch of coastline. To find out our favourites, head to our journal.
Dartmouth is an all year round destination hosting a variety of regional events like the yearly Dart Music Festival (May), the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta (August), and the Dartmouth Food Festival (October).
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area features high ceilings and dual-aspect windows, filling the space with natural light. Sink into the leather sofa or armchair, and enjoy the soft furnishings that make this home so inviting. A quirky Dartmouth gurgle jug adds a touch of local charm to the space, creating a perfect spot to unwind.
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge, and washing machine, so you can easily prepare a hearty breakfast at the breakfast bar, which seats four.
The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, with a beautiful brick feature wall and plenty of wardrobe storage. The second bedroom has a fun and practical bunk bed setup – a single on top and a double below, with additional drawer storage for all your essentials. Both bedrooms have inset lighting, creating a calm, atmospheric feel.
The bathroom, designed to refresh after a day on the coast, boasts modern fixtures and fittings, adding to the overall stylish and functional layout of the holiday home.
Just a short walk from both Dartmouth Castle and the vibrant town centre, Ferrymans Rest is perfectly located for those wishing to explore the best of Dartmouth and the surrounding areas. Whether you're taking in the views along the coast path or enjoying the local attractions, this is a place to create unforgettable memories with family or friends.
Perfect for couples, families, or friends, Ferrymans Rest offers all the comforts of home with a touch of coastal charm, making it the ideal base for your Dartmouth adventure.

The property has no parking on site; however, you can pull up to unload in front of the main entrance to the property to load and unload. Between 1st October and 30 April there are lots of free and unlimited spaces throughout the town, the majority of those being on 'South Town' and 'Newcomen Road' which are the roads immediately outside the property leading up to the Castle. 'Embankment Road' is also a good option which is the road that runs along the entire river front and a 2-minute walk from the house.
The main central car park located is just a 10 minute walk from the property and can be controlled using the PaybyPhone App or alternatively, the Just Park app can offer local alternatives.
