Uphigh, as the name suggests, overlooks the rooftops of Dartmouth and the river in the ever-popular area of Above Town. This spacious family home-from-home for families of six is a great base to explore Dartmouth, with sweeping views of the valley and to the sea beyond, enjoyable no matter the weather. From coffee and croissants on the deck before a day of sunbathing, to taking in the drama of the water on a stormy day, you're also within a downhill walk to the delights of this historic town.

​The easiest way to access the bars and restaurants of Dartmouth is by taking steps from Above Town which lead down onto Newcomen Road. Please note that these are old steps and so are uneven in many cases. It's possible to get step-free access, but this involves a steep incline. Above Town is very popular for those looking to enjoy spectacular views; however, we don't recommend it as a location for people with mobility issues. Dartmouth is a town steeped in maritime history, from the castle at the mouth of the river that has stood for over 600 years to the cobbled quayside at Bayards Cove where the Mayflower was made ship-shape before its voyage from Plymouth to America in the 1600s, up to the imposing Britannia Royal Naval College overlooking the town, defending the nation's seas since the early 1900s. The town's renowned variety of shops and restaurants are on your doorstep, including breakfast and brunch hotspot Café Alf Resco - a hit with locals and visitors alike. At Bayards Cove, see where final repairs were made to the Mayflower before she set sail from Plymouth and onto America. On the riverside, you're spoiled for choice for seafood dining and drinks while you watch the boats drift along the river. There are also fast, frequent ferries, leisurely boat rides, and not forgetting the steam train from Kingswear and its romantic route along the valley shoreline and onto Totnes and Torbay. Dining Out Vibrant cafés and delis, cosy inns, and sublime seafood - all within walking distance - including TV chef Mitch Tonks' go-to restaurants, ‘The Seahorse’ and ‘Rockfish’. Local favourites include Kendrick’s and Taylor's in the town centre, as well as hearty pub meals at The Floating Bridge and historic The Dartmouth Arms. The Sportsman’s Arms, as you head out of town, is a favourite for a Sunday carvery. The surrounding villages also have culinary gems, such as the Laughing Monk in Strete, and Radius 7 in Stoke Fleming. Shopping Individual and...
