Guests say

Marina Lodge in Kingswear is highly praised for its stunning views and excellent location, offering easy access to local transport and attractions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property and the efficient service provided by the letting agents. While some minor maintenance issues and the additional cost of parking are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment in a comfortable and accommodating setting.

The property is generally described as well-maintained, with no specific complaints about cleanliness, suggesting that guests found the lodge to be tidy and in good order.

The location is consistently lauded for its stunning views and proximity to ferries, boats, trains, and buses. The convenience of the location and the ease of access to local attractions contribute to a high score.

Guests find the lodge comfortable, with some noting the property is well-equipped. However, there are comments about the lack of comfortable seating for six and the main living area being cold until the fire is established, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are generally good, with well-equipped rooms and WiFi, although there are mentions of maintenance issues such as non-opening windows and ineffective heating. The need for parking reimbursement is also suggested.

While guests mention home comforts and a well-equipped property, there are no specific references to gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

About this property

This fabulous property, located in the heart of Kingswear 350 metres from the marina, is perfect for families or friends that are looking for a place where they can unwind yet take advantage of South Devon’s pretty coastal towns and attractions. Sleeping six over three bedrooms with space for the dog, there’s room for everyone here. There are two balconies to enjoy fantastic views of the marina; head out to the lower-floor balcony where you can sizzle up a BBQ, or nab the super-king-size room and take a private moment to enjoy the view with your morning coffee.

This wonderful holiday home has a welcoming feel with colour used tastefully throughout. Warm tones in the spacious farmhouse-style kitchen diner make it a pleasure to cook in, while the bold decor in the lounge invites you to curl up in front of the wood burner in the evenings but feels fresh enough to throw open the patio doors to the balcony in the day. Peaceful blue and white tones in the bathroom beckon you to indulge in a long soak in the bath with waterside views, but upstairs there’s a shower room for a quick rinse. The bedrooms are on this floor too; two super-king-size rooms and a double all benefit from calming pastel colours that help promote a great night’s sleep.

Hop over the river to Dartmouth (1 mile) to see the museum, castle or Blackpool Sands Beach. Climb aboard the ferry from the marina and take trips to Torquay (10.5 miles), Salcombe (20.5 miles) and Totnes (12 miles), or take the Dartmouth Steam Railway that takes you up to Paignton (8 miles by road) where the zoo and beaches are well worth a visit. Don’t forget Berry Head Nature Reserve (5.5 miles) for walks with the whole family.

      Overall a good place to stay near Dartmouth, ideal for the ferry and links to the wider area. Two great pubs, Marina and steam train nearby. Place was clean, 3 Decent size rooms and well equipped. Letting agents very good. Few negatives: Balconies needed a good varnish, new furniture and balcony glass cleaned, good feature for amazing views but didn't feel i could use it. Shame really. Parking is very limited, but marina car park £10 for 24 hours and a 5 minute walk away. 2 keys would of been useful. Be careful with the lower Balcony, goes onto a flat roof with a 40 foot drop off. There are gaps in the balcony sides and below the glass for a small dog to escape, our chihuahua ended up stuck in the guttering and needed rescuing, just be cautious with small dogs and children. Enjoyed my two weeks here that's the main thing.

      Thank you for the wonderful stay at your holiday home. We truly enjoyed our time there. However, we noticed that the heating wasn't as effective as we had hoped. Perhaps it could be looked into for future guests' comfort. Despite the cold weather, we still had a pleasant stay. Overall, it was a lovely experience. Thank you again for hosting us!
