the apARTment & the garDENstudio

​

We are Theresa and Simon Hart, Artist/Designers whom both studied at the Royal College of Art in London. Having lived in Dartmouth since 1999, we originally ran a successful Art gallery, gift shop, and 2 other self-catering holiday properties in the town. We have 2 children Theo and Kitty, a lovely Springer Spaniel and an adorable cat who are all part of the team!  We now run an online design business, working from studios situated on either side of our house so we are always close to hand if you need any help or advice or just want to say hello!  Theresa originally grew up by the Coast in Dorset and so after working in Fashion and Lingerie design in London a return to the sea was inevitable. Simon worked as a contemporary artist exhibiting in galleries throughout the UK and his much-loved coastal landscape paintings became an iconic signature of the West Country even before he made the move to Devon. Ever since 1999, the house has been an evolving story & with the final phase of the renovation now complete we are very proud of the end result and looking forward to welcoming guests to our gorgeous new top floor apartment. It is such a wonderful, light, and calm place to spend time that one day we would like to live there ourselves! 

In the meantime, our guests can relax in comfort and style and enjoy the space, discovering all the magic that Dartmouth & the surrounding area has to offer. Our passion for art & design is reflected in the interior style of the apartment  & our love of travel & experience in hospitality with 18 years of managing holiday properties creates a foundation for the high standard in everything we do.
