11 Ridge Hill in Dartmouth offers a well-appointed and stylish apartment with a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. Its excellent location is highly praised for proximity to local amenities.

The garden is a delightful sun trap, adding to the property's appeal.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, with several guests noting it was spotless. However, there were mentions of dust, dirt, and dog hairs in some areas, and one review highlighted the need for a more thorough cleaning.
The location is frequently described as excellent, being close to Dartmouth's amenities and attractions. The steep hill and parking difficulties were noted, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback about the location.
Guests found the property to be light, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. However, some guests mentioned uncomfortable sofas, beds, and issues with the showers, suggesting room for improvement in comfort.
The property is equipped with a range of facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a BBQ in the garden. Nonetheless, guests reported problems with heating, hot water, and a lack of certain kitchen utensils, indicating that maintenance and facilities could be better managed.
While the reviews reflect a generally positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Located towards the lower end of Ridge Hill and opposite the Royal Naval College, 11 Ridge Hill is only a few minutes’ walk into Dartmouth and its array of boutiques, restaurants and pubs. This beautifully designed ground floor apartment boasts views over Coronation Park towards the River Dart.
There is a short steep hill which leads to three steps to access the property. The front door opens into a spacious central hallway. The open plan living area is cosy and stylishly furnished, with attractive oak flooring, two sofas, wall-mounted TV and a wood-effect stove. There is also a circular dining table with seating for four people. Doors lead from the living area to the courtyard garden. The modern, galley kitchen has oak worktops and floors, a Range cooker, a Belfast sink and other modern appliances.
The en suite master bedroom has a Super King-size bed (can be split into twin beds on request), a TV and plenty of storage, views across the park towards the river, and a tiled en suite shower room. The second bedroom has a double bed, a TV and plenty of storage also. In addition to the en suite is a family bathroom. To the rear of the apartment is an enclosed courtyard with outdoor furniture, with glimpses of the stunning River Dart.
From 11 Ridge Hill, explore Dartmouth and the surrounding area on foot; walk the Dart Valley Trail, or catch the passenger ferry to Dittisham and Greenway House. Alternatively, head to Blackpool Sands or Start Bay for a day on the beach.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

The apartment is in an ideal position close to the shops and esplanade. It is spacious and clean with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The courtyard garden is a little sun trap, lovely for enjoying a morning coffee. As others have mentioned, parking is an issue in Dartmouth but we managed to find a space every day at the top of the hill.

The bathrooms were particularly well done. The property was all very clean although a few dog hairs on sofas from previous occupants. The only negative was damp in the second bedroom. It was prevalent by the window with mould spots and smelt musty. Always hard to eradicate in an old property though. Overall an excellent property.
