Which area of Dartmouth is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Dartmouth, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate town centre or exploring guesthouses and B&Bs can yield better value. The heart of Dartmouth, while charming, tends to have higher prices due to its prime waterfront location and popularity.

Consider looking at properties located a short walk up the hills surrounding the town, such as parts of Townstal. While not directly on the waterfront, these areas often feature more modest guesthouses and B&Bs that offer competitive rates. You'll still be within easy reach of the town's attractions, perhaps enjoying a pleasant downhill stroll to the shops and harbour, and a bit of exercise on the way back.

Another approach is to explore options slightly further afield, perhaps in villages just a short bus ride or pleasant walk from Dartmouth itself. Places like Kingswear, accessible by a short ferry ride across the Dart Estuary, can sometimes offer more affordable choices. This also adds a scenic element to your daily travels, and Kingswear itself has its own charm with the steam railway.
