This elegant six bedroom Victorian villa nestles atop a hill overlooking the River Dart and the bistro and boutique crammed streets of Dartmouth. It sleeps 12 plus babies on its own, or up to 22 when booking the neighboring two-bedroom guest house and three bedroom penthouse apartment. Either way, the amazing views, fabulous horsebox bar, sunken trampoline and hot tub with a view, make it an ideal glamorous group getaway, or perhaps even a 'celebration staycation'!
Added to the hot tub, bar and views, another great benefit of this house is that there's unlikely to be any wrangling over the best bedrooms since all are elegant, spacious and have great assets in the form of either stunning views or very luxurious en-suites. The communal areas are equally brilliant, especially the huge open-plan kitchen with its large, sociable dining table, fantastically well-equipped kitchen and toy-stuffed playroom. The latter is set behind a genius (safety) glass screen allowing grown-ups to enjoy relaxed meals and adult conversation, whilst also monitoring their little people.
The separate dining room is perfect for more formal dinners, whilst a large luxurious lounge, complete with huge sofa and beanbags, is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet or movie nights thanks to the big screen TV and surround sound. However, there's little doubt the house's very best asset is its spacious garden with sweeping views over the waterfront and rolling countryside, as well as entertaining assets in the form of the sunken trampoline, secluded hot tub and brilliant horse box bar - perfect for showing off mixology skills!
Gadget freaks will be in their element too with the instant hot water tap, wine fridge, waste disposal, Nespresso coffee machine, Novo music system, and surround sound TV.
Accommodation Overview:
From the minute you enter the huge front door, it's clear this house has the wow-factor but the bedrooms are where guests will really feel spoilt. There are two super king rooms with luxurious bathrooms, featuring both rainfall showers and freestanding baths; two twin bedrooms sharing a 'Jack and Jill' shower room, and with beds that can be zipped together into super kings; a king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a bunk room with en-suite shower. Altogether there are six bedrooms and five bathrooms, all cleverly organised so that, if you wish, you can arrange for the adults to be at the front of the house in three large and lovely rooms, and kids can be at the back in three fun and fabulous rooms.
Downstairs there is plenty of room for everyone. The hub of the house is the enormous kitchen/dining/lounging/playroom which opens up onto the outside patio – perfect for morning tea and alfresco eating. The more formal dining room boasts an open fire, dining table for 10 and elegant lounging area; whilst the large sitting room has a gas fireplace, huge comfy sofas, swirling chairs, velvet poufs and bean bags mini guests will love!
Parking spaces are like gold dust in Dartmouth but luckily the house boasts four car spaces with two by the main front door and two in the private driveway.
Please note: main stairs can not be gated but gates can be supplied and put on kitchen/bedroom doorways.
The house nestles on a hillside just 10 minutes walk from the very picturesque Georgian harbour town of Dartmouth. Known as one of the UK's most popular yachting havens, the town boasts a great selection of independent boutiques, bistros, cafes and convenient shops along its pretty cobbled streets. Boat trips depart regularly from its marina which is backed by a hotel with a luxurious little spa offering lovely treats for frazzled mums.

Hello! Barrington House is our family home which we love to share with visitors. We have owned the house for over 10 years and spent 5 of those years lovingly and patiently restoring the house and turning it into a fantastic holiday letting business. We have 3 separate holiday homes available - The Penthouse, The Glasshouse and The Hideaway . All 3 properties are set within the grounds of Barrington House but are all very private, each with their own style and distinctive features. The one thing they all have in common is that they all provideluxury accommodation to families.
Having 3 children ourselbes we know what it is like to holiday with children and how important it is that where you stay is as good if not better than where you live. Holidays are special and should be stress free in every way. Happy children means happy parents so we provide as many things as possible to make everybody happy!
