Historic boutique hotel on Dartmouth's waterfront with river views
Hotel Overview
The Bayards Cove Inn occupies a 14th-century merchant's house in central Dartmouth with 7 refurbished rooms. The hotel offers dedicated pet-friendly amenities including pet beds, bowls, and Sunday lunch treat packs. Every guest receives a departure goody bag containing water and locally made fudge.
Rooms
Rooms are named after famous seafarers: the Mountbatten Suite has a partial cove view and a seating area, while the Nelson Suite offers sea views on one side. The Beatty room overlooks Lower Street and includes air-conditioning, and the Fisher room provides a comfortable space for two guests and a dog. All rooms feature luxury bedding, high-quality toiletries, and a cafetière for coffee.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves seasonal menus using local ingredients, with dishes such as the Bayard's Seafood Platter and gluten-free chocolate brownies. Breakfast includes a continental buffet with cereals, fruits, and pastries, plus cooked options like a full English and a veggie breakfast. The head chef accommodates dietary needs and offers kids' meals and special diet menus.
Location
The hotel sits a few yards from the River Dart waterfront in central Dartmouth, within walking distance of shops and the ferry. Nearby attractions include Dartmouth Castle, Britannia Royal Naval College, and the South West Coast Path. No dedicated parking is available; guests use public parking around the town center or the park and ride at the top of the hill.
Pet-Friendly & Family
