Genista in Kingswear is highly praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, thoughtful touches, and cleanliness. The house's multi-level design with balconies and terraces is a highlight, offering picturesque views of the river Dart. While some minor suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Guests consistently mention that the property is very clean, with one specifically noting the provision of fluffy towels and well-appointed rooms. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stays.

The location is frequently described as excellent, with beautiful views and proximity to local amenities. The convenience of the ferry to Dartmouth and the pleasure of watching the steam train are particularly appreciated, enhancing the overall experience.

Comfort is highlighted by guests who enjoyed the comfortable beds and linens, as well as the spaciousness of the house. However, one guest suggested a preference for twin beds over a king-size, indicating room for improvement in meeting all guests' preferences.

The property is well-equipped, with a kitchen that meets guests' needs and additional amenities like books and games. Some guests suggest minor improvements, such as more food storage and adjustments to the heating settings, but overall the facilities are well-received.

Several reviews mention thoughtful touches provided by the owner, which contribute to a welcoming and enjoyable stay. While gifts are not guaranteed, the consistent recognition of these gestures indicates a high level of thoughtfulness.

    great location, very clean, well equipped, and comfortable, I would defently stay there again.

  • Mr Hoddy

    Only one small suggestion. If possible lower the kerb into the parking place.

  • Mr Burrell

    For us this was a perfect cottage in the perfect location. Quiet, with parking, yet close enough for the ferry over to Dartmouth. Well furnished, exceptionally clean, wonderful views and - very important for us - near the bottom of the hill on which Kingswear sits (we had to walk up that once before!). Could not fault this, and we plan to return soon.
