B+Bistro

The scent of breakfast drifts upstairs while Dartmouth's harbour mist burns off beyond the window — you're moments from the waterfront, but sleeping properly under a roof.

This is one for couples after a South Devon base with a bit more comfort than canvas, or walkers tackling the coastal path who fancy a hot shower and a proper bed. The guest house sits in Dartmouth itself, so you're already in the thick of the sailing town's narrow streets, galleries, and quayside buzz. There's also a camping pod if you want something between four walls and the outdoors. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours along.

It's a bistro at heart, so expect good food and a relaxed, townhouse feel rather than a rural campsite vibe. Campfires need checking on arrival — likely not applicable to the rooms, but the pod might allow something small. Open all year, which makes it a solid winter bolhole when the coast's wild and most campsites have shut up shop.
