The Gate House Overview
Set within an exclusive gated estate on the edge of the River Dart, The Gate House is a place where history and luxury entwine. Once a sentinel to this grand historic estate, today it offers a refined yet welcoming escape, where the ebb and flow of the water sets the rhythm for slow, soul-soothing stays.
Steeped in character yet effortlessly stylish, The Gate House exudes an understated elegance. Soft light filters through the windows, illuminating the beautifully curated interiors, where heritage features blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts. The open-plan living space is designed for relaxation, with plush seating, a spacious dining area, and a sense of calm that invites you to instantly unwind.
The kitchen is both charming and practical, fully equipped for everything from lazy breakfasts to indulgent feasts with fresh, local ingredients. Try the fish from the market in Dartmouth and be inspired by the coast. Gather around the dining table for long, laughter-filled suppers before retreating to the cosy lounge area to sink into those sofas and catch up on a movie together.
Restful bedrooms promise deep, uninterrupted slumber, wrapped in soft linens and the quiet hush of the water beyond. The master bedroom hosts a Kingsize bed and the second bedroom has twin beds that can be zip linked if required, perfect for friends or family. The bathroom, offers a bath tub and freestanding shower to refresh and reset before another day of waterside wanderings.
A private balcony area offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening tipples. The maritime charm of the area is ever-present, making this an enchanting setting to reconnect with nature and the sea.
Step beyond the gates, and the waterfront beckons, where gentle tides lap against the shore, and hidden coastal paths lead to breathtaking views over the Dart Estuary.
Positioned in one of South Devon’s most sought-after locations, The Gate House is perfectly placed for exploring the beauty of the River Dart and beyond. The historic maritime town of Dartmouth, with its independent boutiques, award-winning eateries, and bustling harbour, is just a short stroll away. Take to the water with a boat trip along the estuary, or discover the golden beaches and dramatic clifftop walks that define this stunning stretch of coastline.
Whether seeking adventure or simply craving a peaceful retreat by the water, The Gate House offers an exclusive escape where history, elegance, and the rhythm of the tides create an unforgettable stay.
