About this property
This is the perfect holiday cottage for relaxing, kick off your shoes and just indulging in luxurious surroundings with fabulous views.
This is a fabulous, luxurious property in popular Kingswear – the perfect holiday home for a larger family or groups of friends. With room for seven guests, you can spend your days exploring the village and taking the passenger ferry across to Dartmouth, and your evenings relaxing in your opulent surroundings, enjoying the views across the water.
The bright and modern accommodation is arranged upside down to maximise the stunning river views. Step into the entrance-floor level where three of the property’s four relaxing bedrooms are found, all offering flexible sleeping arrangements for a group getaway. A large bathroom enjoying river views is also on this floor. Step down to the ground floor where there is the final bedroom alongside another bathroom, with the basement level a floor below having handy washing facilities. Back up on the property’s top floor is the main social space – an expansive open-plan living area which is perfect for chatting in with family and friends. Rustle up a meal in the modern kitchen and enjoy it around the dining table or step out to the attractive raised terrace at the rear of the house to drink in the views with a glass of fizz. There is also a further landscaped area with sun loungers where you can soak up the South Devon sunshine.
The waterside village of Kingswear is in a fabulous location and offers easy access into Dartmouth with its winding streets and pretty inner harbour – it’s only 300 metres from the property to the passenger ferry across the River Dart. With several marinas and many deep-water moorings, Kingswear is a sailing haven and it’s also home to the Royal Dart Yacht Club which puts on the annual Royal Regatta at the end of August. You'll find all the local amenities within 0.5 miles including pubs and a very good local shop. Make sure you head to Kingswear station (300 metres) and take the historic steam train to Paignton – it’s a lovely journey where you’ll feel as though you're stepping back in time.

Weve stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years, thisnreally was lovely and a great base to explore Dartmouth, walk some of the coastal path and explore the surrounding area Great open plan living space, really welcoming. Kingswear really is a lovely place, with 2 local pubs, and an Italian restaurant. The walk from the car to property is less than 10mins, we would definitely book again.
