About

Mariners Holiday cottage in Stoke Gabriel, near Dartmouth in South Devon and sits on the quay of picturesque Stoke Gabriel creek on the historic River Dart.

Mariners, a self catering cottage has parking directly opposite the cottage. Guests have a private enclosed garden which offers superb views over the Mill Pond and river Dart. This historic 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, a popular crabbing spot for children, 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.    

Many of our guests return to Mariners Cottage in Stoke Gabriel year after year and tell us that it's like a home from home without the heavy price tag of other rental cottages in the area.

Mariners has been tastefully refurbished to a high standard...yet unlike many others still retains the charm and cosy feel of a fishermans cottage by the side of the water.
