The Penthouse is a stunning, architect-designed, self-contained apartment with private entrance set on the top floor of an impressive Victorian villa in Dartmouth. The apartment is breathtaking both inside and out with spectacular views of the River Dart from the impressive deck attached to its spacious lounge area.
The Penthouse 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!

Gorgeous, spacious, light and airy apartment. Some lovely welcome touches and very well equipped. Views unbelievable and even the opportunity to do some stargazing through the telescope. The only downside of having the great views is the schlep up the hill from town. However, my two kids (youngest 6) didn't moan too much but usually had an ice cream in hand to distract them and for me it was a work out to work off all the ice cream and pasties! Dartmouth great, so much to do in the area.
That View!
We've just returned home from a thoroughly memorable stay at the Penthouse at Barrington House. The property is excellently located high up on a hill, though only a 10 minute walk from the characterful town of Dartmouth, offering beautiful views of the River Dart and the estuary, flanked by the picturesque village of Kingswear on one side of the river with beautiful rolling hills on the other. It's difficult to imagine a more stunning view of Dartmouth than this, and we spent many hours soaking it in.
The Interior
The Penthouse makes for a very comfortable, relaxing and luxurious stay, as well as being baby-friendly. We felt well looked after by our hosts who had lavished on us a bottle of Prosecco and coffee capsules for the Nespresso machine. The decor is fresh, modern and relaxing and is a credit to the owner Sarah, who oversaw the magnificent refurbishment of Barrington House.
