Dartmouth, South West England
Elm Retreat is a spacious cottage in Dartmouth, Devon, sleeping up to 8 and well suited to families or groups travelling together. Woodlands Family Theme Park is under 2 miles away, making this an easy pick if you've got children in tow or just fancy a day of rides and attractions.
History lovers can head to the Britannia Museum or Dartmouth Museum, both within 4 miles. The nearest beach, Stoke Gabriel on the Dart Estuary, is around 2.1 miles off, though it's worth noting the water quality there is currently rated poor, so it may suit a stroll along the estuary more than a swim. Totnes station, just over 4 miles away, offers a useful link if you're travelling onward or arriving by train.
