Mariners Cottage

Mariners Cottage sits on the quay in Stoke Gabriel, a village between Totnes and Dartmouth on a creek of the historic River Dart. The cottage offers superb views over the Mill Pond and the river. This ancient and unspoilt village still retains its ancient roots from the 800 year old yew tree in the churchyard to its gentle tangle of cottages leading down to the river where locals have fished for Dart Salmon for centuries. With its old Inns and the hubbub of daily life, it still retains that quintessential English village atmosphere.From the quay by the River Dart, where children can go crabbing, there are gentle strolls to be taken along the riverbank or through the old apple orchard and winding streets of the village where unexpected glimpses abound. There is always something to see and do in this lively community where everyone is made welcome.

There are 3 shops in Stoke Gabriel, a post office, convenience store, craft shop, 2 pubs and 3 restaurants.The historic towns of Dartmouth, Salcombe, Totnes and Kingsbridge have a character of their own and are all within easy reach.
