The 30 best places to eat in Dartmouth

A really beautiful decorated restaurant with amazing service. We had the Frito misto which was made up of different fish which was beautiful battered. The complimentary bread and olives to start were SCRUMPTIOUS!

One of the greatest meal we had in a long time - cod loin was served like we have never tasted before! The monkfish was so out of this world! Everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is in the fishing business - so they serve the freshest fishes we had in a long time! And OMG these scallops - I could eat a mountain of those! Fresh! Must! We adore this place and its service! Food that is brave!

Outstanding service, beautiful room and the most delicious food. If you love fish, this is an absolute must. Mitch Tonks and his family/team have a fantastic restaurant in a beautiful setting.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Took us both to Italy. Everything was wonderful. Very special flavours. One of the best meals we have had this year. My Ray Wing was exceptional. Will now make this one of our regular restaurants. Only sorry it's taken us so long to go. Service was exceptional and very informative. Added photos from our recent return visit in October. Again another wonderful meal.

An impeccable dining experience that prioritises local products, cooked to perfection, and served thoughtfully to preserve the intrinsic flavour of the finest seafood. My partner and I shared the whole turbot which was cooked to perfection and served very elegantly by the staff. The service and atmosphere created a dining experience that was thoroughly authentic, reflecting the local culture. Having dined here a while ago, I sadly can't remember the name of my waitress who was attentive, self-assured and was the cherry on top of our evening.

A marvellous experience. All the dishes were delicious with beautiful aromas and flavours that have depth and character. I particularly enjoyed the scallops and unexpectedly, the chicken lovers presented as a minced dish on crunchy toast was exceptional. Needless to say, the charcoal cooked fish was super. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Wow, what a fabulous meal! 12/10 would recommend. A beautiful restaurant, with a cosy cocktail bar upon entry. The waiting staff were all friendly and helpful, and helped us with their recommendations. Fish was clearly caught fresh, and the daily menu is based on the fish from the market. We started with the scallops, which were sensational. The best I’ve ever had. And we then shared the monkfish - 100% worth the price, the best fish I have ever had, cooked to perfection on the grill. And I would highly recommend the fried zucchini. Unforgettable dinner, thank you!

Great restaurant for fish - best we know in the UK at fairly "reasonable" price. Clear recommendation. Had the catch of the day, the "Sole". It was the best sole I had since years, just absolutely fantastic. Only slight downside: Service was very friendly but slow. Even when we mentioned to be under a little time pressure, it did not help to speed up. So bring some time, but it's worth it.

Lovely food. Good service. It isn’t cheap but I didn’t find it gratuitously expensive considering the quality and freshness. Lovely relaxed dining experience too, good friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place but also recommend that you book! Went on a weekday lunchtime outside of school holidays and it was busy

We had a fantastic meal at Rockfish in Dartmouth! I ordered the fish and chips, which came with unlimited chips, a brilliant touch. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, with a light, crispy batter. My whole family enjoyed their meals, and there was something for everyone on the menu. The service was another highlight. friendly and super cheerful throughout our visit. It made the whole dining experience feel even more welcoming and enjoyable.

Great little place serving delicious food with friendly staff. Decent kids menu and a lovely location right on the riverfront. We just wanted normal fish and chips so this cost quite a bit more, but worth every penny.

We had a fantastic experience at Rockfish in Dartmouth. Joanie was our waitress and she was incredible, very knowledgeable about the dishes and catches of the day, she made our experience so memorable with her humour and attentiveness. We would highly recommend this restaurant to all our friends… We had oysters and prawns to start, and lobster and prawn tacos for mains - all absolutely delicious. Thank you again!

We really enjoyed our lunch here. They serve excellent and fresh fish cooked simply. If you are expecting lots of complex sauces and combinations this isn’t that, but great and fresh produce cooked simply to let the flavours shine. Dover sole cooked in butter, shell on prawns, spider crab croquettes, cockles and hake all really tasty. It’s all about tasting the fresh fish. Not cheap but you understand that sourcing fish this fresh isn’t cheap. Very child friendly. My daughter loved the prawns and sole.

We had a fantastic meal here. From the service to the food, everything was great. The table had lemon sole fillets, monkfish tail, ray wing and the cuttle fish and each one was enjoyed. Can thoroughly recommend the ray wing. Thank you!

Currently on holiday in Dartmouth, wanted a meal out & after reading reviews, decided to try Kendricks... well it was definitely a good choice!! Not had a meal out this lovely in a while; meal portions were just right, the staff were very welcoming & charged reasonable prices. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone undecided!!

Lovely restaurant with a diverse selection of British favourites done well. For the main my wife had a special dish of halibut on a bed of seafood and it was stunning. Service was great and everything was reasonably priced. Recommend booking well in advance if you're visiting.

Just got off the ferry and wanted somewhere to have something nice to eat. What a gem to find. A lovely, clean, and modern place with a great menu. The service was fantastic and the cake was delicious. Will visit again soon.

Ribs were fabulous, fajitas were delicious, burger was an 8, and the shredded beef chili was hardy and flavorful. Will definitely go back again! Seems like a family owned place. Lots of people and 2 servers, working hard. The owner was one of them. Tables were full so very popular.

We booked in advance for 6pm when doors opened, we were 1st through the door, we were shown to table and chap took our order, further customers came and were served their meals... we were still waiting, it was only an observation a lady member of staff, that prompted the chap... they're still waiting for food! He did come to us, and say that he'd 'forgot to put our order through to the kitchen'. He was to be fair most apologetic, and took the cost of my wife's wine off the bill! When the food did arrive, both our meals were fab, and they didn't skimp on the portions. The restaurant decor was quirky... but Tasteful! This was our first meal at Kendricks, and even after this first 'Outing' we would still recommend anyone to go! I know customers will say... everyone makes mistakes, but in the spirit of an honest review... That's what we believe we've done!

Had a coffee and cake (carrot & lemon meringue). Both were excellent and service with a smile.

Well worth checking out. Good table service, food was good too. Food allergy\intolerance aware.

Fantastic restaurant lovely food once you book it it's yours for the night no second sittings on tables I had the pleasure of getting a table here for Dartmouth Regatta was a lovely dining experience I really struggled to get a table booked here yet on the Saturday they had lots of cancellations at short notice because the racing had been cancelled because of bad weather and obviously many yacht crews had decided to go home which was a real shame for this restaurant because it is so small they rely upon every one of those bookings turning up to keep them in business

Lovely location upstairs with a view overlooking the harbour. Not a huge restaurant so staff were very attentive. Our food was perfect. Good mix of choices on the menu. A very enjoyable evening.

Absolutely stunning. From the first taste of my starter, to the last mouthful of my delicious main course. If you ever visit Dartmouth, this is the restaurant you must frequent! So sorry to live too far away to visit next weekend. 💜👏🍾

We were impressed by the prompt friendly service. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented. It’s a small and expensive restaurant so for special occasions (most of the tables were there for a birthday). Also well situated with an impressive view of the river Dart. 10% recommended!

Be aware: We were staying in a accommodation that had overbooked, which meant that we had to leave one day earlier than expected. We had no alternative but to drive home - we couldn't just hang around Dartmouth with nowhere to stay. We gave Taylors as much notice of cancellation as we got of having to leave, but Taylors charged us £40 for the cancellation. It was half-term week and every other restaurant we had been to prior to this had been fully booked - signage outside - so I would imagine that our table for 2 would have been filled. It just sticks in the craw getting punished for something completely beyond your control. In answer to your response: There is no point discussing it because there hasn't been a misunderstanding. Its not like we didn't show up. We gave you as much written notice as we had, when we were suddenly told to vacate our double-booked accommodation. I just wanted to bring to potential customers attention that if: They might be involved in a car accident OR One of their group might fall ill OR Weather issues might cause transport issues OR like us, we had to depart our accommodation unexpectedly because it had been double booked, THEN, they will forfeit a minimum of £40 - for 2 persons (more for a bigger party). This is just a warning that if a life event happens, and don't they just happen at the most inopportune times, then they are going to be gifting you £40 minimum to keep the Range Rovers purring over. This really spoilt a lovely break to say 'goodbye' to Dartmouth as a result of stage 4 metastatic bowel to lung cancer. Rockfish was great. Bayards Cove Inn was great. The highlight restaurant fined and punished us. I wish you all the success you deserve.

Lovely restaurant with very attentive service. Their special dish was amazing - lobster, prawns and scallops served in a lobster shell. Beautifully presented and great tasting. Perhaps my favourite place in Dartmouth so far.

Great service, delicious food and smashing view . We came here last year with friends and really enjoyed it and second time around we were not disappointed. Absolutely lovely.

Another great visit to Alf Resco’s for brunch. It’s good enough to generate a queue. We had excellent coffee, fresh orange juice and a mix of great breakfast goodies. The Sharpham Open Toasted Ham Sandwich was a highlight, as was the BLT with a fried egg. Great place, dog friendly, but expect to queue for your food.

Vegan Breakfast was a little small and a bit bland. Two toasts would have been great for £12. I found the staff were excellent. Friend had the Big Alf’s breakfast and he said that was good. Thanks though guys.

Very popular for breakfast/brunch. Get there early-ish or be prepared to wait as they don't accept bookings. Remember to look at the specials board as dishes like Eggs Benedict are not on the normal menu.

Beautiful breakfast place to start you off with you day. Everything is freshly prepared and delivered with care. The staff are friendly and polite. Definitely recommend the full English breakfast. It’s a classic but it’s worth every penny

A nice setting. Very small inside and staff are keen to have you sit outside. The food and drinks were nice, albeit a little on the expensive side. The experience was slightly ruined by the cold welcome. It’s basic politeness to smile and say hello when a customer enters your establishment. Instead, we received a firm face and a “yes…?!” I must say, it made us feel like we weren’t welcome. I could no more say that to a customer than fly. The young lady was polite. I got the feeling it was the owner that was the cold one. If correct, she should know better.

So me my mum and little boy visited today. We sat down in this very nice cafe. The staff were delightful and very polite. We ordered lovely food which came very nicely Presented. My little boy then proceeded to be sick which wasn’t a shock because we didn’t think he was quite right in the morning. The staff were amazing they helped us clean up and helping my boy change his clothes. They never once made us feel guilty! Amazing place, amazing staff and amazing food! Ps this was not food poisoning.It was a sick bug! Thank you!

So quirky inside, very cosy, the big breakfast was all it promised and so tasty the local sausage and tasty bacon,2 egg,hash brown, mushroom, tasty grilled cherry tomatoes, beans ,choice of toast , gave hog a miss , personal choice , was very hearty and good to eat . Tea refill was appreciated. Staff all very attentive but not intrusive. 2 shots in my partners coffee was standard and much appreciated. All in all highly recommend food and service great .

Visited for a meal while on holiday in Dartmouth. We were recommended to book a table, and glad we did. Every table was in use with a wonderful smell of all different dishes making us hungry. Once we'd ordered at the bar the food came promptly and piping hot. The aroma wasn't fake, the food was wonderful, tasty and generous potions.

Lovely pub situated right next to the river Dart in Dartmouth. We were stopping over in the town overnight so decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner. We checked out a few of the pubs in the town but this one seemed to have the best menu despite being what we thought was a little pricey. We both ordered the moules frites priced at £25 which is way more than I would normally pay for this dish however, given the location we figured we would give it a go. We ordered at 4pm and waited around 20 minutes for our food which gave us plenty of time to enjoy a couple of the local ciders. When our food arrived my wife's came out first as a gluten free option and a chap on another table asked if it was a sharing platter as it was an absolutely huge portion. Then mine came out and the chap couldn't believe his eyes and neither could we! As you can see in the pictures they didn't skimp on the portion size at all which was grand for me because I absolutely love mussels. The dish itself was perfectly cooked and there wasn't a single dead mussel or grain of grit inside to be found. It's also worth mentioning that the staff (who were lovely and friendly) brought out a couple of treats for my canine companion which always makes me add extra points to these reviews. The ciders we had were top notch too. We will definitely visit again next year when we are down Devon way.

The Floating Bridge in Dartmouth is a hidden gem—tucked just far enough off the main drag to feel like a special find. Its stunning deck offers sweeping views of the river, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or a meal while watching the boats drift by. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the staff friendly, and the food fresh and flavourful. A wonderful place to unwind and soak up Dartmouth’s charm.

Lovely old pub down by the river Dart. Very friendly staff, some really nice Real Ales 🍻Try the upper outside area👍 Big portions of very nice food. It's well worth a visit 😀.

Visiting whilst on holiday and needed a quick bite to eat after a long journey. We did have our baby in a small pram, locals refused to move their chairs to let me through but that's not the fault of the pub itself. That's just why I put a 3 for atmosphere. We weren't made to feel welcome really. All tables in restaurant area were reserved for 2-3 hours later. We found a large table at the very back. We would have been eaten and out before the 2-3 hours so unsure why we were not allowed a smaller table for an hour. The food itself was lovely but in my opinion, overpriced. £20 for a salad is crazy! So I chose just a starter, portion was good. Gent serving made us feel welcome though and was friendly to the baby and had some good banter and jokes. Would recommend but just be prepared to pay a lot out!

Great place, great food, amazing views and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We have dogs, so only the outside tables and the bar area were open to us. No problem, we got a table right next to the bar but with sufficient space to keep the hounds safe. Dogs get free refills on their drinks! Food was exceptional, we both chose from the special board and the only complaint was that the portions seemed too generous. OMG, how can we eat all of that? we thought, well we gave it a good seeing to and doggy bagged about one third of a rack of ribs, lunch tomorrow. The staff are lovely and so attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Being by the bar, we saw how they looked after everybody, all while dealing with a lot of customers (sunny Friday evening). The food is outstanding, best scallops I’ve ever eaten and my wife loved the barbecued rack of ribs. Not the cheapest place in town, but weighing up quality, quantity and price it is probably the best we have had on this visit. Rejigging our schedule to visit again. Recommended!

Intimate, unassuming restaurant where the food is the focus. Small plates restaurant where 5-6 dishes per couple is ideal. Perfect for foodies who appreciate fresh, local produce. Sourdough Focaccia & beetroot were delicious.

EXCEPTIONAL!!! Devon's best kept secret. I nearly didn't want to write this review being completely selfish and keeping it as our hidden secret! We have now been twice and this restaurant easily smashes any other restaurant in Devon, even beating the Michelins. Yes, it really is that good. Every single dish is a triumph, with layers of flavour, amazing wine list, amazing staff and simply beautiful! It's like a tasting menu of tapas style food which is great for sharing. Amen

We have eagerly followed the journey of Andria for a while and were so pleased to finally visit - it completely exceeded all expectations! The food was excellent, exceptional quality and well thought out plates. The experience was one we won't forget for a long time, neither the delicious scallops! Being a Brixham girl myself, you certainly did them proud! The restaurant itself is quite intimate so the spacing for my wheelchair was limited, however all of the staff ensured that my experience was the same as everyone elses. The restaurant is also level access from the pavement level so no additional ramps required for wheelchair users. We already can't wait to return.

Extraordinarily good. For £90/head we ate like kings, including a very good bottle of Champagne and cocktails (the bourbon sour is excellent). The service is wonderful, understated; our plates were produced quickly, even in the middle of a busy service. The flavours and presentation were sublime. 48 hours later and our party is still raving about just how good this little gem of a restaurant is! Every dish was perfectly balanced and of the very highest quality.

Absolutely blown away , amazing concept , from being greeted to getting the bill , not an a single error from start to finish , from front and back of house , would recommend to anyone who enjoys a very relaxing evening of cock tails amazing wine and food - first time I’ve been after a lot of recommendations from friends - wish I came sooner. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to come back.

BOOK A TABLE IN THIS RESTAURANT!! We were lucky to be gifted lunch at this gem. Warm welcome, chilled vibe, great company and the most delicious food. Luca produces dishes that are both delicate and an assault of the senses with complex flavours. Thanks for a great experience - we’ll definitely be back!

The Chef's table for my wife's 30th birthday was incredible - the best culinary experience we've had in years. Despite my wife's specific dietary requirements we were excellently catered for. Will be back again!

We only stayed for 1 night but honestly treated so well by all staff we felt at home from arrival. Our room was compact but really lovely and had everything we needed. Food was excellent both breakfast and our evening meal. Loved all the little extra touches . Thank you

Had an absolutely wonderful meal here yesterday with the family. The staff were so accommodating and managed to squeeze us in early doors. Fantastic service, particularly Georgia who went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable meal for everyone. She was great with my little step-son :-) food was banging! Of course! Can’t comment on the rooms as we didn’t stay so giving them a five star based on the experience we had in the restaurant alone.

Wow, what a lovely lunch.. and decent sized too. The Crab sandwich was out of this world and the fish platter was equally as yummy. Great friendly service and atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Great location in Dartmouth. Busy Sunday Lunch service. Staff were great and roast beef was lunch was good. Could have done with being a bit warmer but the flavours were wonderful. Recommend to book if you want to do Sunday Lunch

I booked in very last minute to stay while attending an event in town. I didn't have high expectations - since it was the last available room, at the height of summer and in a very busy spot, but I just needed somewhere to lay my head, so wasn't too fussed. Honestly, I was so impressed with everything! The lady who checked me in was SO sweet (I think called Georgia?) - carried my bag, showed me all the ropes and bought up some milk so I could have a coffee in the peace of my room, before heading out. My room (Beaty) was adorable, and everything you'd want from a rustic, historic Devon building. Being the hottest day of the year, I expected to get little sleep, but found an air conditioning unit in the wardrobe. It didn't 'cool' exactly, but did blow air around well, like a big fan. The bed was incredibly comfortable, I had to prise myself out of it come morning but could have lounged for hours happily. Breakfast (included in the room charge) was delicious and very, very generous. I got the veggie breakfast and it was all cooked beautifully. There was also juice and continental options available to help yourself. I had asked for an early check in and late check out, both of which were not a problem, and actually (accidentally) arrived even earlier than my early check in slot and my room was all ready for me. A stroke of luck! The little touches were so thoughtful: individually portioned ground coffee in the room, special wipes to remove make up, locally sourced soaps and they packed me off with a 'goody bag' of local fudge and water, for my day ahead. All in all, I highly recommend.

We popped in for lunch on Saturday 9th Aug, lovely bar and dining areas. Ordered the kids a Luxury Hot Choc each and I had a G&T with some of the local "Jack Speak" gin, which is very nice indeed. The Kids really enjoyed their Fish & Chips and the Mezze Board. The Ham and Cheese sandwich was great too. Staff were amazing, really friendly and the service was excellent. Can't recommemd this place highly enough. Definitely returning when next in Dartmouth.

Food was lovely, and service was pretty quick as well. We had to sit outside as there were no seats available inside, we should have booked lol. Recommend the food, very tasty.

Great little pub, nice atmosphere and food was A1. Small menu but perfectly cooked and ample servings. Only a few people in the bar the night we were there, but people in very friendly. If you struggle with mobility the toilets would be difficult. Nice selection of beers. Very dog friendly,

A beautiful pub located in Dartmouth. It is small, with only about 7 tables, and I was very lucky to nab a table so that I could order some food. Only one member of staff working one small bar so you have to be patient as she also has to go up and down the stairs for the food. A good selection of food available and as this is a CAMRA pub you have a good selection of real ales as well. I ordered the Hunters Chicken and had some Reverend James ale whilst I waited for my food. It’s a very friendly pub with an open fire, original beams and very dog friendly. My food arrived and I was very happy with how it looked. I was blown away by how it tasted and loved every single bite of it. The chicken was amazing, the bacon and sauce enhanced everything and I cleared that plate of food. Please remember that this is a very small pub, so like I did, give up your table once you have eaten and stand by the bar to enjoy the lovely atmosphere of the place and let someone else enjoy it as well. Highly recommend The Cherub.

Great pub up a flight of stairs from harbour. Small ground floor bar which makes talking to locals easy. Good choice of real ales all served as they should.be. Next time I visit Dartmouth it will be first place I go.

Lovely old pub with brilliant food and really well handled cask ale (and yes, they have other sorts) Worth a detour if not a trip of its own!

Single diner so decided to eat in the tiny restaurant upstairs. What a lovely friendly welcome, fantastic service, adapted to my diet. Tossed mixed salad for starters, large glass red wine. Main was superbly cooked fresh whole mackerel, salad and chips. A lovely experience. Thank you.

Nothing special inside but All you see inside were bunch of snobs, I was hungry but I can't be bothered. End of the day we all turned into ashes. Crowded. Good for the locals

Came here for dinner due to recommendation. It is a really beautiful old building with real character. It had nice beers and a fair selection of food. We shared a starter and then had some steak and chips plus hake and veg with 2 rounds of beer. The service was good and the quality of the food was good, with the steak being a little overdone. Overall a lovely experience. Recommend

Popped in while passing to grab a coffee and decided to have a couple of portions of chips & gravy (£5.50 each).....total of £16.50 for 2 white cups of coffee, 2 bowls of chips and 2 pots of gravy. Expect to pay slightly inflated prices due to location. Chips were ok, gravy was nice, and thick (which improved the 3 star to a 4).

Fantastic fish & chips! The haddock was super fresh and perfectly fried - definitely recommend trying it. The restaurant itself has a fun, quirky vibe too. The signs for the gents' and ladies' toilets were really amusing and gave me a good laugh.🤣

Fantastic modern fish and chip diner and takeaway. Serves genuine fresh caught fish with really good fresh cut chips. Well worth a visit when you fancy some real fish and chips. Great.

The prices are reasonable for a good fish and chip shop. The food came within 5 minutes, quicker than some fast food restaurant. The portion sizes were perfect.

Staff extremely rude, snapping at me for asking basic questions about the food. If you cannot provide basic customer service then don’t work a job where you have to deal with members of the public. Chips were the worst I’ve ever tasted too. Do not recommend.

The food was absolutely excellent, coming in as a group of 4, the staff were attentive and the service was excellent, great atmosphere and amazing food, well recommended 😀 👌 I will be returning

The food is delicious very nice

Lovely cafe; knowledgeable about GF and make substitutions. Had a pastrami bagel (but on a lovely tiger roll) and the children shared a salami and mozzarella one. Had a number of GF cakes (stored on top shelf above normal cakes) and were happy to make adaptions to accommodate

A really lovely deli and cafe just up from the quayside and well worth seeking out. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Interesting blackboard menu with deli boards, bagels and bruschetta. However we had the Devon cream tea and it was delicious. Warm, light, rich tasting scone, really thick clotted cream, and local jam, with a hot drink. A lovely holiday treat.

Lovely small cafe with a huge range of food and drinks. The presentation is very smart and the decor very rustic and classy. The flat white coffee was the best I’ve tasted in the area and we were all very impressed by the lovely Olive section in the centre of the cafe. I would highly recommend Smith Street Cafe and Deli to anyone who wants to have a relaxing drink and nibble in beautiful Dartmouth.

The cream tea is amazing! We did a detour just to have the fruit scones again before heading back to London. We also had lunch there and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Great local delicious produce, reasonable price. The coffee was excellent as were the Deli Boards that we had……didn’t have much room for desert but tried the sour cherry cake and lemon and Lime cake, so glad we did as both moist and very delicious. Would highly recommend

We go in here everytime we come to Dartmouth. The standard and choice of food is outstanding. The owners have meticulous attention to detail and are the perfect hosts. The selection of olives is wonderful and they also cater for gluten free customers. The coffee preparation is second to none and is always very tasty. They do various breads, a variety of which we had with our spicy soup which was up there with the best ever. It's not the biggest place and if you like privacy this is not the place for you. They have a selection of daily papers to read whilst enjoying a piece of cake or a breakfast or brunch....or just a refreshing cuppa. Anything goes!

Well appointed little deli. With a small space for inside seating and a little market with great local and international produce. We had two of their deli lunch boxes (fish and cheese) to takeaway for a picnic which were a little pricy but delicious. Wonderful to have the variety, instead of the usual tourist pasties/fish and chips.

Had a fantastic lunch, today, with our large walking group. Wonderful service from all the staff , especially our cheery waitress. We received excellent care and attention. Nothing was too much. We can be a fussy crowd, but no one had any complaints. The food was top class. Thank you. Looking forward to another visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. Food was excellent. Great room. Lovely and quiet and very comfortable. Wishing the staff good luck on their upcoming refurbishment. See you again soon x

The service in this hotel is absolutely first class especially Leanne. The food is delicious… freshly cooked breakfasts and lovely heartwarming evening meals. The hotel is also in a prime location with views across the river. The rooms are big, well lit, lots of power points and a nice shower. The hotel needs some work and has an impending refurb but it maintains all of its character. We love it and will be back.

We enjoyed a lovely New Year’s Eve at the castle hotel. The restaurant, food and the amazing view of the harbour was just perfect. A very special shout out to Itor, who always makes us feel extremely welcome and definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful evening.

Absolutely loved this hotel in Dartmouth. Prime location. Fascinating building. Perhaps not the best if you have mobility issues but the staff are so lovely that they do everything they can to assist which I appreciated very much. Just the one night stay for my sister and I but we enjoyed our visit very much. Our room was spotlessly clean. Fabulous bathroom. Lovely house keeping ladies. Both bar areas were friendly and really friendly. The bar/restaurant was full of character and we had the most delicious meal and we were looked after by a very efficient young lady, I think her name was Sarah, she new her restaurant well and was very efficient and polite to all of the guests. I loved it there and wouldn't want to go anywhere else when visiting Dartmouth.

Had a lovely breakfast in the castle with my son. Jody served us and she was exceptional! She was extra patient with my young son and went the extra mile to make him smile! The food was delicious and the castle had a cosy atmosphere. All in all can't wait to return! Jody also really reminded me of Monica from friends which made me laugh 😃

I recently had the pleasure of having breakfast at a delightful restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit. The restaurant itself was impeccably maintained, with a clean and inviting ambiance. The decor was tasteful, creating a cozy environment perfect for starting the day on a positive note. It was evident that great care is taken to ensure the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the place, which I truly appreciated. As for the breakfast, I opted for a traditional English breakfast, and it was absolutely delicious. The platter included perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, juicy sausages, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, and golden toast. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying, setting a high standard for breakfast dining. Additionally, there was a buffet that looked incredible, offering a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. The spread included fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, and a selection of beverages, all beautifully presented and tempting. What really stood out was the efficiency and organization of the staff. Despite the morning rush, they managed to provide prompt service without compromising on quality. Their professionalism and genuine kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. In summary, my breakfast at this restaurant was outstanding. The combination of a delicious traditional English breakfast, an amazing buffet, friendly service, and a well-maintained environment made for a perfect start to the day. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a great breakfast in a welcoming setting.

*This is a review for dinner at the Bistro restaurant, not for the B&B (as we did not stay).* This restaurant had always been a firm favourite of ours in previous years. The ambience and cozy bistro vibe was a lovely point of difference to some of the other options available in Dartmouth. We were therefore delighted to see it had reopened. We were fortunate to be able to secure a table on the Friday of the music festival weekend, with Mick and Lucy playing. Wonderful to find the restaurant now being run by Maddie, who is clearly doing a great job. The ambience was exactly as we had remembered. We liked the new small plates / tapas model, which was helpfully explained to us and could get served / timed to our preference. We were relaxed about how / when the food was served, drinking the lovely wine and listening to the live music. We ordered lots from the new menu to make sure we had the opportunity to try as many dishes as we could manage! Three dishes per person (as initially recommended) is probably about right, though. The food was first class. Fresh, full of flavour and incredibly tasty. We had a lovely evening. Well done to the Chef, and to Maddie. We will most definitely return. (Oh, and Mick & Lucy were 10 out of 10, too! Please continue to have them feature at the restaurant!)

On our return to Dartmouth, we were delighted to see Anzac had reopened and we immediately booked for dinner. It was great to see the warm cozy interior had not been changed and it retains all of its original atmosphere. There is a new tapas style menu, which was well explained to us, and a good wine list. The service was warm and friendly and the food was incredible, really fresh with amazing flavours, and beautifully presented. Chef really knows his craft. If you are in Dartmouth and you love great food, then Anzac is a must. We will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed a superb meal here, of truly delicious and imaginative food. As it was the Dart Music Festival, there was also a very talented guitarist to entertain us. The only downside was the food took a while to arrive, as the restaurant was fully booked that evening. I am sure that will improve. Nonetheless, we would dine there again.

A friendly welcome and a beautiful large room on a quiet street in the middle of town. Parking was easy as advised by the owners and breakfast was fresh, quick and delicious. Will happily stay here again.

An exceptional restaurant that I had the pleasure of dining at last week. The pan-fried scallops I had as a starter were perfectly cooked, with a delightful garlic taste that complemented their natural sweetness. The mushroom risotto for the main course was cooked to perfection, featuring a balanced and creamy texture with rich earthy flavours. The wine selection is also excellent; Flo quickly recommended me a bottle to go with my food selection. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the restaurant had a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Anzac Street Bistro is a gem that offers a memorable dining experience with delicious food and warm hospitality!

Absolutely excellent high end tapas dishes.....great music.....

What a find! We spent a very enjoyable and comfortable three nights in one of Mitch and Nicola's very comfortable rooms which we found large, quiet and spotlessly clean. We were made to feel extremely welcome and enjoyed great food. The restaurant was buzzing with very happy customers, always a good sign. The produce they use was of very good quality and large portions. We were sad to leave but looking forward to returning again soon. Thank you Mitch and Nicola for making our stay a very happy one.

We were very pleasantly surprised. We opted for 2 starters each and they were a taste sensation in every way. The wait staff were really professional and knew about every detail of the food they served. Location is fab too. Would return, highly recommended.

Best meal we’ve had for a long time. We enjoyed it so much we bought a book of their recipes. The kitchen accommodated my gluten free requests with delicious alternatives and the service was great. I would thoroughly recommend

Was really looking forward to trying this top rated restaurant but so very dissapointed. The main issue is that the restaurant has zero atmosphere, no ambiance or character at all. The service was very good and the starters were excellent. I however chose wrong and the lamb dish was not great. Meat was tough and the fat not rendered down properly. Desert was OK but not wonderful. For the price tag expected better. Shame.

The food here was incredible and the service was impeccable! We had the a la carte menu, everything we had was amazing but the scallops to start were a show stopper. Very nice and reasonably priced drinks were recommended by the staff who were very knowledgeable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible lunch at The Angel of Dartmouth today. We arrived without a booking and were warmly welcomed — the service from start to finish was faultless. The menu was so impressive, it was hard to choose! We were tempted by the set menu of the day, but ended up ordering from the à la carte and were so glad we did. I had the Brixham crab risotto to start, followed by the halibut, and my husband chose the hand-dived scallops and the Devon lamb. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We shared the key lime tart for dessert — the perfect end to the meal. The sommelier helped us choose wine pairings that matched each course perfectly. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding. We enjoyed every mouthful and felt truly looked after. Highly recommend — this is a very special place.

Many thanks to Ellie and her team for the delicious birthday lunch! The new menu du jour option was a bargain we couldn’t pass up. Everything was delicious as well as beautiful. The starter Gougères were “to die for"; we just wish there had been four per couple; it’s difficult to share three. The English sparkling rosé was particularly good. We look forward to coming again!

We had the tasting menu and enjoyed every single dish. Elly was kind enough to let us swap the duck liver course for scallop. Our favourite dish was the sea bass, with the lamb loin a close second. The service was friendly and attentive. They do a lunch deal which looks like excellent value. Lovely location, and if you get a window seat you can see all the activity going on in the harbour. If you call ahead you may be able to get a private parking spot for £10, if not, it’s worth allowing a bit of extra time to find one- there are spots where you can get 2 hours for free, but if you are having the tasting menu you may want more time. The espresso was excellent quality as were the petit fours.

Stayed in room 2 for one night. The room itself was clean, well maintained and well furnished, however it was small, with a tiny bathroom. The balcony was gorgeous, and the view was absolutely beautiful - rain or shine it was the place to be! The hotel unfortunately lacks a pool or hot tub, which I believe to have been closed around Covid - this is a shame. Many smaller and cheaper hotels have at least a hot tub available. There are spa treatments available (massages/facials etc) at an additional cost, and a gym (free) which has recently re-opened. The communal areas of the hotel are very clean and well kept, and the staff seemed friendly and helpful. I did have a major issue with room service however. The hotel info states you can order sandwiches etc 24 hours, however there is no room service menu available, and I dialled 0 at least 5 times (between 7.30pm - 8pm) with no reply - the line just rang out each time. Everyone is looking for something different from a hotel stay, but for me personally, I had an average experience for a premium price - the location and view are amazing, but don't quite make up for the gaps in facilities and service.

Everything about this hotel is fantastic. The location overlooking the harbour is perfect. The hotel itself has been refurbished to an extremely high standard the decor is tasteful creating a wonderful ambience. We stayed in a King room with a view of the harbour . The bed was really comfortable the room spotlessly clean, the bathroom was spacious and high quality toiletries were provided. The breakfast was first class lots of choice and good quality ingredients. The staff couldnt be more accommodating or cheerful. We would definitely return and would highly recommend to family and friends. Jane and Tyrel Bennett

My folks have stayed here a few times over the years and love it. We visited them the last two days and to be honest the staff were absolutely outstanding! I work in hospitality and the level of service and the food are fantastic. Honestly I couldn't have asked for any more for my folks. Thanks again guys.

A bit of luxury in Dartmouth. Really nice room and a great location. Zephyr Resturant was also really good for wine choice and food. Portions were generous and the staff were lovely. There is even an outside bar for a pre dinner G&T looking over the river. A really treat of a hotel.

Wow, just wow. Rooms are breathtaking, food is exceptional, staff go over and beyond. Disabled access is excellent. Dog friendly garden rooms are just the job. We'll be back again and again.

Beautiful setting so decided to see if we could book a table for dinner. The lady that greeted us was so rude as was her manager. We were shown to a table and the restaurant was empty. We then heard both of the staff members mumbling under their breathe at the inconvenience as we weren't booked in the hotel. This was very unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable so we upped and left. The hotel and restaurant look amazing. Staff need to be more welcoming. I hate posting negativity. But feel that the management should be aware.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dart Marina hotel. From start to finish the staff, the location, and the service ticked every box for us. We have been telling all of our friends and family, what a wonderful time we had, we definitely will return.

What a place honestly! I absolutely adore finding hidden gems in small towns and the Steam Packet Inn in Kingswear is an absolute delight. The staff is lovely and the food is delivered with incredible care and enthusiasm. They offer a variety of different deals so you’ll never miss out on trying different things from the menu. I highly recommend the chorizo and scallop bruschetta.

Not in Dartmouth itself, but just over the water in Kingswear outside the Dartmouth presvered railway. About as perfect as a pub you can get, 5 out of 5 stars for everything. Love it here.

Love this pub. Great atmosphere and tasty food. Friendly staff. Everything you need from a pub.

Popped in for the 2 pizza and a side for £28 Definitely worth the money and friendly staff and good service.

We popped in for a drink between rides on the steam railway, I enjoyed an extremely nice pint of Jail Ale and a plate of tasty whitebait. Their menu is fish orientated. A small but cosy pub with friendly service.

Went on the train from Paignton to Kingswear. Once at Kingswear we needed some refreshment. The pub is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The staff are courteous and helpful. We didn’t have food so can’t really comment on that but the beer selection was great. Great for a pit stop before going back on the train.

So today my partner and I did the Dartmouth steam railway . On arrive to Kingswear, we decided to pop in for a drink and food. I’m so glad we came to the Steam Packet Inn, just a minute walk from the station. It’s one of the nicest pubs I’ve ever been in. The pub is a character. Very well decorated. Very happy and friendly staff. The pub is dog friendly. And the food is delicious. If coming to Kingswear, definitely the pub to visit.

Oh, The Singing Kettle in Dartmouth? It’s like stepping into a tea-fueled fever dream where China pots and dainty cups waltz with tea leaf strainers for the freshest, leafiest brew you’ve ever slurped! We dove headfirst into the High Tea for Two, and let me tell you, our wallets are still giggling with glee—it was worth every shiny penny. The tiered stand rolled up looking like it was auditioning for a royal banquet. Sandwiches? Two choices to share, served with salted crisps so posh they probably have their own postcode, and a salad that whispered, “I’m healthy, but fun.” The scones—warm, fluffy clouds of joy—came with clotted cream and jam so good we nearly proposed to them. Then, the cakes: my partner’s carrot cake was so moist it could star in a rom-com, and my coffee and walnut slice? It was like a nutty espresso party in my mouth. Bonus points for the fruit trio—strawberry, kiwi, and orange—strutting in like they knew they were the garnish MVPs. The staff? Absolute legends. The star? A French bloke who, I swear, sounded so Italian we half-expected him to serenade us with “That’s Amore” while pouring our tea. He and the rest of the crew were so charming we forgot how to blink. If cream teas are your jam (pun intended), The Singing Kettle is your comedy-tea-romance flick come to life. Run, don’t walk!

Looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat on a short visit to Dartmouth, I saw a sign pointing up a side street towards this delightful olde-worlde café and tea room. It's oak beamed and quaintly decorated with china ornaments and pictures, and suspended just outside the entrance, you'll spot the Singing Kettle, said to possess magical powers! It's obviously a popular place, because it was very busy; people were having to wait for a table, but happily not for long. It's also dog friendly. The couple who own the tea room were really charming and friendly, and made me feel so welcome. Service was quick. They do sandwiches, all- day breakfasts, jacket potatoes, and other light meals as well as sumptuous looking cream teas. Good selection of cold drinks, speciality teas and coffee. I ordered a pot of the traditional tea; it came in a lovely china teapot, loose leaf with a strainer, with sugar in a little hourglass, and it was very good! Had a jacket potato with prawn marie rose, fresh salad garnish, and coleslaw. Simple, but filling and very tasty. There are toilets at the back, up a couple of steps. This tea room certainly had a nice old-fashioned ambience about it. More than a bite to eat, it was a very enjoyable lunch experience! Would come again.

I personally think this is the best afternoon tea you'll get in Dartmouth, and it's always one of our 'must do's' every time we visit. It can get busy, so be prepared to have to wait for a table. The staff are really friendly. All of the china plates and tea cups add to the whole afternoon tea experience.

The Singing Kettle was at the top of our list when visiting Dartmouth, and it lived up to our expectations. We came specifically to try the cream tea, and it was delicious fresh scones, rich cream, jam and perfect tea. The place is warm, cozy, full of charm, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had such a lovely time and agreed that we’d be regulars if we lived nearby. I truly recommend!

Christine & Bruno welcomed us into their cosy cafe. It was a very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. You can see that this place is their pride and joy. My husband had the cream tea which he said was the best cream tea he had ever had. I had the beautiful coffee and walnut cake which was delicious! We are so glad we stumbled across this little gem of a place and would love to visit again some day. You must visit here if you are going to Dartmouth! Thank you / merci beaucoup Hannah & Nathan :) x

Best ever afternoon tea. Not only do you select what tea, but also what type of sarnies, scones & cake you'd like. Quite brilliant. Variety of china used to serve it all, adds to the quaintness of the place. Lovely staff serving. Faultless

What a lovely, little hidden cafe. Welcoming our well behaved dog, friendly and great service. We had the cream teas which were gorgeous, warm scones, fresh fruit and lashing of good quality tea. We visited twice in a week it was so good.

The freshest, most delicious and perfectly prepared seafood (3 sizes of prawns, and scallops) on a charming terrace full of personality with lovely staff. Even the white bait was outstanding. Great wine and desserts, too. Contrary to some recent reviews the service was excellent and on a busy Summer Sunday. I didn’t want to leave, but had to catch the ferry across the river to walk home.

Beautiful setting right by the waters edge, staff very accommodating as we hadn't booked and asked for a table during a busy lunch and they fitted us and another couple in. Our order was taken quickly, and the food came within 10 mins of ordering and was lovely. Well worth a visit (we'll book next time, too)

Amazing location with spectacular views, especially if you get a table for 2 on the balcony overlooking the River Dart. The food was fabulous, my wife particularly enjoyed the huge cracked crab salad.

Lovely view, scenic. The food is good and the staff is very caring. I loved the place, good to have a walk around too. I took pictures of the view and walk

Gorgeous location with some of the best seafood ever eaten! Staff, food, location all on point. Definitely book your place well in advance, it's incredibly popular! The BEST whitebait I've ever had the pleasure of trying! We came at a particularly busy time, plus in a mini heatwave and the staff were swamped, you could see how busy they were, but they were incredible and so friendly!

Lovely place for lunch before heading to Greenway. Great seafood and very attentive service.

We have been in Devon for a week and had some superb food but the meal here was just sublime. I had the ceasar salad with melt in the mouth fresh scallops and the crispiest pancetta. My son had lamb kofta and perfect French fries and my friend had haddock and chips. We all kept stopping eating to say how delicious the food was. The service was also cheerful and helpful and the views over the estuary were unbeatable. It was reasonably priced for the standard of food and rounded off perfectly with 3 delicious ice creams. Simply some of the best food I have ever eaten.

Great restaurant lovely sour dough pizza and beautiful wine selection. Sat in the early evening sun ❤️🥂 excellent knowledge of GF, staff immediately knew which dishes were suitable and knowledge of CC. They have a separate fryer. Batter for fish and chips is GF, as are chips, bread available for dishes. Even have sticky toffee pudding!

Six of us visited for Sunday lunch. Fantastic local scallops, followed by 3 roast Pork and 3 Roast beef. Very generous portions, beef cooked pink as we like it. Worth a visit.

Managed to get a table outside b6 the river amd weren't disappointed. The boss man has just taken over the place (having worked there for a while) and it was top notch 👌 Everyone ate all their meals. Will visit again when in Dartmouth.

I don’t know when we will come to Dartmouth cause we live very far , but I will absolutely recommend everyone come to this lovely restaurant try their amazing food , all good , no need more comments

Hubbys 70th birthday treat. Lovely food. Desert exceptional. Friendly host. Fantastic views over the river dart. Also dog friendly. I’m bringing my pooches next time. Would definitely recommend.

Overall a nice experience with very good food except one thing. The crab wasn't good, no big deal but felt as if we shouldn't have mentioned it .... just replace it please as we both thought it was off and a replacement of half a prawn cocktail isn't the same ...... samphire a delicious addition to the the scallops (tried all 3 and all fabulous) but please don't drown it in masses of salt. Overall good but a few tweaks and it will be amazing. Great location; I'd go suggest not having a tortoise in the window !

What a rebrand! Now called 24 south! Amazing seafood and great service! Wonderful views of the harbour and welcome shade away from crowds. Very friendly staff and recommend coming again!

A Memorable Meal at Embankment Bistro During my recent visit to Embankment Bistro in Dartmouth, I experienced a delightful mix of tasty food and warm hospitality. Located by the scenic waterfront, the bistro offers a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxing meal. What stood out immediately was how friendly and accommodating the staff were. They made sure my dietary requirements were met without any fuss, showing their dedication to making guests feel comfortable and well-cared-for. The menu impressed with its focus on fresh, local ingredients. Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, especially the seafood, which truly captured the essence of Dartmouth's coastal charm. Every course was a treat for the taste buds, from the starters through to dessert. In short, Embankment Bistro is a must-visit spot for anyone in Dartmouth looking for amazing food and exceptional service in a beautiful setting. I left feeling satisfied and genuinely appreciated—thanks to the wonderful team there!

Had tea, coffee and cake here, it's in a great location right on the river with a nice relaxed atmosphere. I was with a group of guys with learning disabilities and autism along with two other carers, We were a large group of twelve and caught the bistro off balance a bit but nothing was too much trouble, they were welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The cakes were delicious accompanied by freshly made tea and coffee.

Awful experience here yesterday during our day trip to Dartmouth. £2.50 for a warm can of lemonade that came out of the fridge. Ridiculous! However, the worst part was the young girl's disgusting attitude who served us. She was rude and snotty and slammed the cans down on the counter in front of us. Totally unacceptable. The majority of the staff behind the counter seemed to be in foul moods. It was busy, but it's a summer Saturday but that should not affect the customer service. Avoid this place for food and drinks. There are plenty of other places in Dartmouth who are likely to give you a smile and decent customer service.

Had a very disappointing lunch yesterday. A burger that was tasteless & overpriced. The flies buzzing around & also the dead ones lying on the windowsill didn't help either. Being told in an unprofessional way at the beginning when we were just looking at the menu, that if we weren't eating in then takeaways next door would suit us better. If we'd wanted a Fawlty Towers experience this was the place to come.

Another exceptional meal at the Embankment Dartmouth. Had three courses with wine, very tastie food, delicious flavours. Service spot on by very friendly professional staff and Management who work really hard. Thank you, we will be back. Can recommend 11/10

Expensive but very unimpressive fish and chips. Soggy batter and grey fish. What is worse is the hidden 12.5% service charge they sneak on your bill. They then bring a card reader over without showing you an itemised bill so you don't get an option to see what you are paying for. As we had complained about the food already, there is no way I would have paid a tip. To be fair they handled complaints well, but we won't be going again.

Lovely place with nice tables with views of the river lovely staff fantastic food and service,dog friendly what’s not to like,

Wonderful pastries! Had an absolutely delicious pain au chocolat with almond. Can definitely recommend!

Small cafe offering meals ,sandwiches and cakes. Nice selection and served by polite staff.

The almond croissants were superb. There two types the one which is flatter has chocolate as well. Hard to say which to recommend. The only problem is these will spoil you for almond croissants for ever. I doubt you'll ever have some as good.

Walked past and could not believe my eyes, so many lovely fresh baked breads. And most importantly those cakes! Omg! I have bought couple to take home and they were absolutely incredible!! The cafe is unassuming tucked away from the water front but those cakes are like from Harrods! Absolutely incredible! Can't wait to go back soon and try lots more of those patisserie cakes.

Best French patisserie in Devon! Each cake delicately balanced in flavour, individually distinct and not sickly sweet as becoming the case increasingly in the UK with oversized, American style, boring and unimaginative bakes. Saveurs use beautiful fresh seasonal fruit as well, creating incredible flans and slices. Please can we have more continental patisseries like this in the West Country!

Fabulous coffee, better than than the well known high street chains. However, food and service not so good. The mozzarella, pesto and tomato sandwich is still repeating on me nearly 24 hours later, even after taking gaviscon and omeprazole. The older of the two women serving seemed bored and in a rush to get people out of the shop. We spent more than £17 on 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees, but won't be going back for the nice coffee.

It's wet and it's sunny and we're inside in the warm with tea and bacon butties. Feels safe in here. 😀

thank you very much for giving heart on each ingredient. Each ingredient well prepared with special skill, thencombine together for each dish, they match prefectly, they are delicious. one start is taken off because hoping dessert can be even improved, comparing to the small plates, dessert is a bit disappointed. Especially love the beer shin croquette.

Enjoyed every aspect of my experience at Circa. Had a 4 course tasting menu and every dish was absolutely delicious. Great vineyard location, lovely atmosphere, incredible food and fantastic service. I would highly recommend it! The vegan roast on a Sunday is also fab!

We came at 2pm for a lunch with some friends today. The service , food and wine were all absolutely exceptional. The food is incredible - not pretentious and absolutely delicious. All the staff were very knowledgeable on the food and wine. Our first time here and we will be back soon. 10/10. Wine lovers - the wine is young and this is the start of an exceptional journey of English wine. Even the young 2022 wine is full of subtle character. Incredible.

We had a voucher from my partners son. We booked for lunch and sat in the court yard. We had pink fizz and a cuvee to start along with olives and the olive oil toasted sourdough was sublime. We chose 6 tapas style dishes, they were all delicious along with a glass of their red and white wine to accompany them, it was so good that my partner proposed and I said yes ❤️

Fantastic service and food, and the best Sunday lunch by far in or near Torbay. Will be back soon :)

Excellent food and service. They were the perfect balance of attentive but not over the top. Made for a very enjoyable birthday dinner

Amazing. Simply the best place to eat in Exeter. Staff, food, wine..all excellent. Went to try the tasting menu. 7 courses of gorgeous. I love this place :)

We only live 50 mins away so from time to time we visit Dartmouth. When we do, we tend to head to the Dartmouth Arms for something to eat. It's a lovely pub with great service and wonderful food. They always make us feel welcome and have never left disappointed and will return again soon.

Good experience at the Dartmouth Arms. They have a GF part of the menu (small but varied) but when we said about coeliac it was taken seriously. One of the crew (Jaxon) was incredibly helpful and liaised with the kitchen about our order and any changes that could be made. Children had delicious chicken fajitas (are very little thing) and had an ice lolly included. I had a burger (only beef are GF) but a good variety. Overall, recommended and we would return. They take coeliac seriously and go the extra mile.

My partner and I traveled to Devon for a weekend away. My partner suggested the Dartmouth Arms after looking online and having good reviews, we thought we’d give it a try. We came for lunch on Saturday (yesterday) around 1:30pm. We sat across from the bar. My partner went up to order our food and the female staff member, bluntly took our order and then proceeded to tell her colleague “I can’t get anything done because as soon as I try, someone needs serving” in front of my partner - who was very polite. Obviously upset he sat down and we waited for our food. He had a pulled pork burger and I had nachos. The nachos were okay but the pulled pork was really not nice. It looked and tasted like it had been microwaved and was very watery and bland. Neither of us enjoyed our food but due to the unpleasant service we experienced beforehand, we couldn’t be bothered to cause a fuss. It’s such a shame as this cost us over £40 and it wasn’t up to standards. If staff were nicer, this could’ve been a much nicer experience. We have both worked in hospitality so understand how difficult it can be on a busy hot weekend. However, we are both very friendly people and did not deserve any rudeness whatsoever. We are very disappointed.

Nice welcoming pub! Not the most extensive menu but everything we had was cooked and served really well. The 'blue burger' with Stilton was the best I've had in a while and my son's pizza had a lovely baked base. Would definitely revisit. Thank you!

I had fiery chilli it was lovely other two had lava plate steak they both thoroughly enjoyed it.

As a frequent visitor to Dartmouth this Pub has a sketchy reputation locally. My first visit a few years ago was greeted by the rancid smell of weed outside. It became apparent that it was a member of staff indulging himself with his weed. Move forward to tonight and decided to give it another chance. Upon arriving at 9.35pm we were greeted with "done last orders and the tills". Such a shame it's being run in this way as it's one of the best located pubs in the town.

After walking around Dartmouth for a bit we stumbled across thus pub and thought we'd give it a go. So glad that we did! The beer was out of this world, Dartmouth ale is now up there in my top ten! The food was brilliant and came out in good time, I had the mackerel and it was super fresh, served with new potatoes and a nice sauce. The two young lads behind the bar were a credit to the pub, they were very attentive and also had a good bit of banter about them which is great to see. The pub is clean, well decorated and cosy. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back

Perfectly located next to the entrance to Dartmouth Castle the Tearooms provides a lovely location to sit outside and enjoy the view of the mouth of the River Dart and surrounding countryside. Was a little disappointed in the cake, it was very dry, perhaps a little on the stale side, which given the number of people was a little surprising, perhaps not a popular choice? And there were no prices on the selections in the cabinet, something that does puzzle me at times. The bacon certainly smelt wonderful, and the view was superb.

Great little place with fantastic view and friendly staff ! Delicious bacon sarnie on sourdough. Much needed !

Looks lovely - but very frustrating that they changed the opening hours and don’t update Google. Planned a walk to the castle and back, expecting at least somewhere to get water and a snack when we arrived and they had shut at 2pm contrary to their supposed hour’s. Shop/ticket office doesn’t even sell water and there is absolutely nowhere else in walking distance. Maybe call ahead if you want to be sure it’s open.

Unfortunately they had run out of scones so no cream tea. Lovely views though. Nice stop mid walk from little Dartmouth.

Absolutely delicious cream tea and you get 2 fresh home made scones with your cream tea. Beautiful setting too. Highly recommend the scones. Far better than those we tried in cafes in town.

Twice we arrived 10 mins before closing, only to find everything cleared away and the staff no longer serving. Both times we only wanted ice creams for the children (who had run the last bit of our walk to get there on time), and both times the staff refused. Such a shame!!

Fantastic little place with great sandwiches and very friendly service.

Lovely little snacks shop, staff are friendly so was with the hardworking owner. Their pastries are love especially the cornish pasty. Filled our hunger 🙏♥️❤️💕 It's quite famous with locals, but I highly recommend to all the tourists who are planning to visit here in Dartmouth

Super tasty twist on a Cornish pasty with the chorizo and mozzarella pasty, served piping hot to takeaway! Followed by a slice of Cornish pudding which I'd happily keep going back for. Very popular spot at lunch time and I can see why, expect a short wait but the queue moves quickly.

Bought a large pasty. It was very tasty, and the steak was melt in your mouth meat. Decent filling and reasonably priced considering a high tourist area.

Conveniently located and the service was friendly, which made for a pleasant stop. The hot chocolate was nice, but the lattes my parents had were a bit disappointing, not very hot and not the best we’ve had. It’s an okay spot if you’re nearby, but there’s room for improvement on the coffee front.

Phenomenal bakery and very good coffee. Had the Traditional Cornish Pasty and, likely, the best I've had. Perfect proportion of swede, onion, and beef. The Cinnamon bun was also perfect, juicy yet crunchy on the outside. 10/10 on food. They source coffee from Union, which are a very good roaster, albeit a bit on the darker side. Had a flat white and, again, perfectly delivered. Very quick service, too.

Was going to make a purchase for the family today, refused service as they would not accept cash. Any company that shows such discrimination against cash payments is not fit to be on the high street. Avoid .

Food was amazing. I want more! We had pasty and sausage rolls whilst waiting for our cruise. They were cooked perfectly and reason prices.

Great hotel, great food, great hosts. The food was also delicious. We had breakfast and dinner one night and it was really lovely ingredients and home made. We loved it so much we’re hoping to come back again in August. Would highly recommend!

The gentleman who checked me in was very courteous and explained everything clearly. The room is a nice size. Clean. It was quite bright and though it faces the street, there are two windows so the noises is quiet low and heavy curtains so the street lamps don’t bother you. The location is very good. It has food, drink and entertainment available downstairs.

The stay at Browns was great. Very warm, inviting atmosphere and staff, who made you feel welcome. The vegetarian breakfast was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

Rooms ok. Staff friendly. Parking available at £8.00 per day. Takes the shine off. Breakfast OK. 2 nights £280. 00

Booked on short notice. Beautiful room, massive and comfortable bed. Breakfast incredible, staff were lovely and accommodating

Had a really great stay at Browns. The staff all super friendly and can’t do enough to help, the food and menu choices are as good as it gets and the location so close to the waterfront is ideal. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

We thought the staff really made the experience, particularly Leon who gave us great advice. The rooms were very clean and the food was great.

A great little place which does exactly what it says on the tin, “fantastic coffee”. The bonus is they also do great cakes. It’s a simple menu but that’s all you need. Definitely recommend the basque cheesecake to go along with a nice flat white.

What an amazing little Coffee Shop! Really nice chilled vibe, amazing small choice of cakes, and the coffee is incredible. Beautifully smooth espresso roast, I had an americano and my wife a Mocha, which she said is possibly the best she has ever had. Definitely reccomment a visit! The basque cheesecake too was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

The best coffee shop in Dartmouth. A fantastic cup of coffee! For the last 12 months or so I’ve only drunk black coffee so every coffee I now have varies a lot depending on the coffee bean etc. I can confidently say that this was one of the best coffees I’ve had! ( and I’ve had a lot ) P.s I hope you put that orange coffee on the menu!!

Cute little coffee house. Maybe seating for 15 at the most. Best coffee we found in this lil to town. Being from America, equals dark roast flavor. Yummy sunshine bread. Wonderfully delightful women at the counter. Very engaging and friendly. Enjoyed our conversation very much. Will definitely return while we are in town. Well worth a visit to see for yourself.

Fantastic coffee. Highly recommend the flat white and latte. The coffee itself really shines though, and pairs perfectly with the milk which I think I read was locally sourced from Dartington. Staff very friendly, calm atmosphere. Great charity shop next door too

Was only in Dartmouth for a week and had wanted to go to this coffee shop all week, came on the last day and it was absolutely lovely. The coffee is amazing, and the service is amazing. A really cosy, friendly vibe.

Absolutely love this coffee shop. Always pop in here when stopping in Dartmouth. So much better than the "chain" type coffee houses. They are great people & always willing to have a chat, their home made polenta cakes are devine! Forget the rest and try the best by stopping in here!

Went for Sunday lunch on first full day of our break in Dartmouth. We had roast pork for my wife and roast beef for me. Well cooked and nicely presented by friendly staff and Dartmoor Jail beer to drink. So nice came back on Thursday for evening meal. Again easy to book online. Whitebait starters, crab ravioli and fish chowder for mains and apple pie for dessert. Again with Dartmoor beer. Once again very tasty and good value. Thank you.

Always a warm welcome, good food and music, a stunning view and often the last bit of sun in town!!

Great atmosphere, very expensive food (and small portions) The children's food portions were particularly disappointing...charging £10 for 30p worth of ingredients was insulting. The main menu food was tasty, but way too little of it and more expensive than you'd expect. We'll definitely come back for drinks as the atmosphere is great and the staff super friendly, not we won't eat here again.

Had a very enjoyable ale outside overlooking Dartmouth. Beautiful view from the terrace which was in welcome shade on a sunny day. Food looked nice but we didn't eat. Much better experience than the other place down the slope.

We went there on a sunday 😉 nice food and lovely people. A Secret place 😊

Excellent pub with really good food in Kingswear, just above the train station. Couldn't get a table anywhere in Dartmouth but the Ship Inn kitchen stayed open for us later than listed and bar staff couldn't have been more helpful or unflustered. Sat outside with views across the river. Lovely.

We have always liked this pub for a drink outside in good weather. Six of us had dinner there recently and we probably won't be eating there again. The ravioli was good, the seafood linguine less so. The prices are on the high side. What was really annoying was the cost of the wine. We all expect high mark-ups, but felt the price was preposterous. We should have checked before buying.

Good pub with great service. Lovely atmosphere and quirky memorabilia add to pub. Great music being played but not to loud you can't hear yourself talk. A little in pricey side but it is Dartmouth and it is similar to other pubs in area. Didn't eat but food looked good.

This pub has the most ambient atmosphere. When you go in, you feel welcomed. Really friendly people and staff. Good choice ales and lagers. Didn't have food when I went so can't tell you what it's like.. but great anyhow.

Best meal in 10 days in the area and it's not even close! Much better mussels than the place in town with mussel in its name, delicious fish and everything! Lovely atmosphere, good drinks, I'm just sorry we didn't dine here more.

Stayed here with my husband for his 60th birthday. On the 18th morning at 7am the fire alarm went off. Being an old building the rooms are located up very narrow stairs on the 3rd/4th floor (no lift). People rushed downstairs, in night attire, no footwear in some cases, myself in my nighty, anorak & trainers into the cold rain, very breezy cold air. We all stood outside for over 30 mins waiting to hear what we should do, or for the personnel to come out & supervise. Finally 2 workers from the near by Co op heard the alarm & rang the fire brigade (as no one had a mobile on them). My husband & i were the youngest there @ 60/62, others in their late 70's & over. Apparently pub owner was called too. Finally 40 mins later a young lady pulled up in her car, firemen arrived. Declared it was a faulty alarm & left. The young lady called us in from the rain into the foyer of the pub, & demanded to know why we had not called the fire brigade. When i asked who she was, she burst into tears. Claiming her name was Leah (the manager) & did not appreciate being got at! She claimed everyone was told the pub was unmaned, no's everywhere to call in case of emergency! She kept repeating it between tears. At no time did she do a head count, ask if everyone was ok, put the kettle on to wsrm the elderly up, take down names or comments. Instead barked at an elderly lady that all info is on the website & everyone was informed of protocol, they were not obliged for anything as unmanned.THIS ABSOLUTELY DID NOT HAPPEN (CHECKED IN BY BAR STAFF) THEY SAID NOTHING. Only told us to put the extractor fan on when taking a shower, as alarm may go off. NO INFO ON WALLS ON IN ROOM. NOTHING WRITTEN ON WOODEN BLOCK OF KEY. PICS ATTACHED. Personally an apology, a kindly word, especially to the cold elderly guests, a coffee etc would have gone a long way. Instead of playing the victim cause the owner pulled her out of bed, cause he lived 40 mins away from the pub. I came home developed the flu. Hence my late response. ABSOLUTELY appalling response & attitude. Do not recommend for elderly due to the sheer no of stairs, super narrow, slippy when wet or for Customer Service either.

My friend and I ate here a few days ago after spending a lovely day in Dartmouth. The food was tasty and the drinks were great!! What prompted this review, however, is the staff’s kindness and willingness to help when we got into a bind when trying to order a taxi. Will, who worked behind the bar, went truly out of his way to make sure we had a way back to our accommodation, even when it began to prove a little difficult. This level of service is above and beyond what we could have expected (and we are so grateful for it). If you are in Dartmouth, come to this pub. You will have a great time, eat good food and be in the company of some of the nicest staff we have encountered to date!

Extremely disappointed with the condition of the accommodation, especially considering the rate of £150 per night. The issues we experienced include: No toilet roll provided upon arrival No mattress protector on the bed — only a sheet directly on the mattress, which is unacceptable and unhygienic A burnt curtain in the room Used mugs left in the room, still containing old tea, along with dirty spoons A heavily stained table, clearly not cleaned between guests Filthy carpets in the hallway and stairwell, with old onions and salad left on the stairs for the entire duration of our stay Despite placing the provided "room service" sign on the door, the room was not cleaned or attended to, and the dirty cups remained untouched The overall cleanliness and condition of the property were well below acceptable standards. I do not believe this accommodation was in any way worth £150 per night.

Visited here whilst in the area on holiday. Lovely pub, friendly staff and good food albeit tourist prices which I guess is expected. Dog friendly which always makes for a good pub. We would visit again if we are in the area again.

We had a wonderful time on the Fizz Boat. Such a wonderful sunny afternoon and a perfect trip up the Dart. We booked fizz with nibbles and extra half hour which was excellent. Our hosts went the extra mile and made sure a last minute request for non alcoholic beer was fulfilled which was greatly appreciated. We all wish you ever success for the future - you thoroughly deserve it. Thank you once again.

Such a wonderful experience. Fab 90 minute cruise along the River Dart. Great hosts (Louise and Aiden), delicious food and the fizz flowed nicely!! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend you book The Fizz Boat.

To celebrate my 60th birthday we had the most fabulous afternoon on the Fizz Boat- the weather was glorious, the food and fizz just perfect and the enjoyment factor was off the scale. All 4 of us agreed it was the absolute highlight of our weekend. I highly recommend this wonderful experience to everyone- thanks so much for making us feel so welcome- you are a super couple xx

Had a really nice afternoon. Lovely food, lovely hosts, would highly recommend it to anyone.

What a fantastic trip - the whole experience was so special. We loved the different types of fizz, the tapa platters and sweet boards. The boat was dressed beautifully and really comfortable, you were also the perfect hosts - we will be back.

Perfect trip for my partners birthday on the fizz boat for afternoon tea! Adrian and louise were really friendly and made us feel very welcome on board. Would highly reccommend.

Booked the fizz boat to celebrate our anniversary. Aiden and Louise made it very special and enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended.
