Marigold House is a lovely holiday home - a spacious, bright and stylish 3 bedroom period house in a modern bright style, with contemporary open plan living spaces and expansive glass bifold doors - all leading out onto a sunny decked terrace with superb views of the pastel coloured cottages lining the Devon hills. The property has benefited from a major renovation in 2025 including a new bathroom with a shower on the top floor, a new fitted kitchen and an extended decking terrace.
Marigold House sits in the heart of Dartmouth, yet boasts an unusually tranquil location, just a couple of minutes walk along quaint cobbled streets to the bustling market square, numerous cafes, deli's, art galleries, shops and restaurants as well as Dartmouth's famous bustling waterfront. Many beautiful beaches are close to hand, including the blue flag beach at Blackpool sands, just around the corner, and its award winning cafe/restaurant.
This lovely Edwardian house enjoys a prime spot in the winding alleys of Dartmouth, South facing and with stunning views of the pastel coloured cottages beyond, yet right by the heart of the town, it is perfectly handy for everything you could ever want, yet so very peaceful. Tucked into a narrow historic lane, you're central, yet well away from roads and traffic. A perfectly tranquil and secluded spot - You really couldn't ask for more.
The front door at Marigold House leads on to an attractive galleried entrance hall, which in turn leads on to the master super-king bedroom and family bathroom with a bath, independent shower, sink and WC.
Two further bedrooms are situated on the first floor with a shower, sink and WC. One is a double bedroom and one is a king size room. The upstairs bathroom services both the top floor bedrooms.
The modern open plan living and kitchen dining room on the lower ground floor leads onto a stunning decked terrace with a Southern aspect and gorgeous views of the rolling hills and houses of the area - You'll find a sofa outside, the perfect spot for enjoying a glass of chilled Pimms or champagne! You'll also find the sun here for most of the day.
The accommodation is beautifully decorated, spacious and very well equipped. It is ideally suited to extended family groups, one or two families with children or relatives, or perhaps two or three couples taking a break together.
Parking can be a little tricky in Dartmouth depending what time of year. There are a few spots nearby for free including the market car park just at the end of the road (though you do need to move your car on the mornings that there is a market on). My suggestion is to park nearby unload your car and park the car further up the hill as you don't really need a car from etc house as everything is very nearby in Dartmouth.
If you're looking for somewhere truly special to stay - you've found it!

Other things to note
Marigold House, an Edwardian semi-detached property, offers wonderful views of the picturesque houses lining the rolling hills at the mouth of the river Dart. At the nearby waterfront you will find local fish & chips and crab sandwiches - an absolute must, or perhaps try one of the fresh seafood restaurants offering varied gastronomic delights. Dartmouth is a favoured holiday spot for families, couples and groups of friends alike. This small naval port is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College, the centre of Royal Naval officer training, and has played a vital role in the UKs long nautical history. Bayards Cove is the town’s most ancient and picturesque wharf with a beautiful cobbled quayside and Tudor artillery fort, which guards Dartmouth's inner harbour built in the early 16th century by the townspeople to protect their town quay.
The sea and the sand offer all types of water sports and activities, with many cruise ships visiting the beautiful port throughout the year. During the summer months the embankment of the River Dart is absolutely bustling. Children catch crabs, water taxis ferry to and from Kingswear, and private boats and larger vessels provide wonderful river cruises and trips upstream towards Totnes. There is also the lovely and familiar sound of the old steam train making its summer journey from Kingswear to Paignton and the English Riviera.
The Dart Estuary lies within a South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within the South Devon Heritage Coast. Just a short drive from Dartmouth is the award winning Blue Flag shingle beach of Blackpool Sands. Set in a sheltered bay and fringed by pines, this is said to be one of the area's most beautiful natural treasures, with turquoise blue seas lapping at the long stretches of sand. The South West Coast Path offers stunning scenery on short or long hikes, and you can head East towards Brixham or West towards Slapton Sands and Start Bay.
The modern Flavel theatre in town, just a few steps from Marigold House, offers theatre and cinema for adults and children alike the whole year through, and The National Trust properties of Coleton Fishacre and Greenway, the stunning holiday home of the much-loved author Agatha Christie, are both close by. Just a few steps along the coast are yet more beautiful Devon villages, including Totnes and Dittisham, with the historic market town of Kingsbridge just 13 miles west of Dartmouth, and the beautiful beaches of Salcombe well worth a day trip at around half an hour away. You can't help but love the place.
The South Hams are the perfect location for longer holidays and for year round short breaks, with the wonderful mild climate of the Southernmost tip of Devon helping to ensure the very best of sunny days - the South Hams name deriving from the old English Saxon word 'Hamme' meaning 'sheltered place.'
Come and try the great restaurants, Blue Flag beaches, delicious local ice cream, crabbing, sailing, stunning views, excellent shopping and art galleries, Devon cream teas, coastal walking, and of course the famous Dartmouth Regatta...
Each year the Dartmouth calendar is choc a bloc with sea and land based events and this special town festival is the absolute pinnacle of the fun. Since 1834, the Dartmouth Royal Regatta has been the highlight of the year, and the whole town gets swept up in the atmosphere of this wonderful event. Visitors get to enjoy a host of treats, from sailing to market displays to marvelling at the acrobatics of the Red Arrows and the most astounding firework displays in these last special days of August.
