Ferrystone

Disappointed with the outdoor area.

View was of someone else’s washing hanging outside with no privacy. There was a used ash tray and cobwebs and it was an uninviting place to sit, hence we didn’t use it. I think guests should be made aware of this so they can make an informed choice whether this is suitable for them or not. Although settees soft and for younger people probably comfy. For older people they were quite low down and difficult to get comfortable in and to actually get out of. Kitchen had everything you need and more. Location is great as it is right next to car ferry, foot ferry and steam train although this can make it a bit noisy in the evening. Beds were very comfortable. Parking was £77 for the week. Expensive but right next to property so convenient. There was very little to do in Kingsmear itself but nice to get the ferry across to Dartmouth. The train station sells books of 20 tickets for £20 for the ferry which was very reasonable and a nice start and finish to your day. Car is £7.50 or £14 return. Overall we enjoyed our stay but disappointed with outdoor space and lack of things to do in Kingswear.

Perfect location, spacious and comfortable, a real home from home.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in Kingswear & Dartmouth and we can't recommend staying at Ferrystone enough, we will definitely be coming back.

The holiday property was exactly as advertised.

Beautifully presented,very well equipped. Everything you could possibly want for a great holiday. The views across to Dartmouth amazing. So much to do. We loved the river trips and steam train. We will definitely recommend and hope to come again.

Lovely place to stay, very comfortable and a great location.

We had a lovely relaxing time and really enjoyed ourselves. A couple of things to note/feedback - nothing major, but may help future guests. - Car parking: There are 2 public car parks nearby, one by the passenger ferry behind the station that is 2 minutes away but limited spaces. Or 5 minutes walk approx along the road at the marina. Download the Ringo app to make paying/extending time easier, but it is approx. £8 per day. - Kitchen: there was only one tea towel provided and no oven mitt, so the one tea towel we had was used for both drying and taking hot trays etc out the oven, which wasn't ideal. Also take some spare dishwasher tablets and bin bags, only a couple are provided for the week. Ferry crossing - the car ferry is quicker than the passenger ferry and takes foot passengers. Both are the same price too.

We stayed for ten days in Ferrystone .

House was spotless , plenty of toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, bin liners , tea towels (we did bring our own but didn’t need them) games , books, maps and soap! Everything you needed. We hardly cooked as ate out most days but the kitchen was very well equipped . We knew about the electric toothbrush issue as had read the previous reviews . Easily solved by purchasing an adapter for £2.50 in the hardware shop in Dartmouth. No reason not to charge the toothbrush! No issues with hanging space for us and there are additional hangers on backs of the doors . We loved the downstairs space for all the shoes, waking boots , fleeces and cagoules meaning we didn’t traipse mud / wet coats up the stairs. A shoe rack might be helpful maybe but it was fine . Washing machine great and hanging space helpful in the utility room. Patio was used as we had great weather mostly ! Great to sit outside and it gets the sun all day really. Previous reviews critical of showers. We had no issues - two adults and two older teen girls and all agree shower pressure fine. One thing to sort out for the future is the window in the main bedroom as it would only stay open with a cushion propping it up (I am sure the owners will address this in the long term! ) Also the door handle kept falling off to the ensuite. Minor annoyance

The property is very nice but you need to improve your maintenance schedule.

. the shower tray blocked in the en-suite terrible really . One toilet roll per toilet really . I had buy more and black sacks to clear the rubbish away. Don’t expect to go oh holiday and pay this much for a property and buy toilet rolls and bin. Liners! Improve your standards please. Spot check your cleaners .. clearly nobody runs the showers to check .. make comment you have no power in the bathrooms for electric toothbrush and make it clear only 1 wardrobe in the whole place ..

Lovely place , but only 1 wardrobe storage for a party of 5 people.

Great views across to Dartmouth & the ferry noises didn’t bother us. Free street parking extremely limited with only 4 spaces with time restrictions meant we had to pay nearly £60 for the week at the marina, could a deal be made with them to give a discount? These things aside it’s a lovely house with loads of room and all the things you would need for a great holiday. Andrew & Debs and family.

Excellent property.

Very clean and comfortable. Great position. A lot of stairs . The curtain rail on the stairs needs attention as does the window in in the back bedroom. Very poor water pressure in the showers . Dish cloth and T towels and D. W. Tablets would be appreciated and would be happy to pay for them along with a pint of milk. Otherwise Excellent comfy beds and sofas Reasonable value and would definitely come again. So all in all. A big thankyou

This is the second time we have stopped at Ferrystone and would certainly recommend the property for a holiday A really nice, high quality property in a great location

Was a wonderful place to stay fab for people watching as Dartmouth ferry in view of window.

Place was brilliant for our stay as my son has treatment at a hospital in Torquay. Only downside is no parking - had to park in car park and cost a bit over the 2 weeks.

What a beautiful house, everything is of a really good standard.

Comfortable beds and furniture in the lounge. The location is fantastic and the views are amazing. The roof terrace to sit and relax after a day out is perfect. Everything you could possibly need was in this house. The car park across the road was so convenient. Because of the location right next to the ferry across to Dartmouth and the train station to Paignton across the road meant we didn’t need to use the car which was wonderful. I would certainly stay in this luxury property again.

This is a lovely apartment.

It is comfortable, beautifully decorated and very well located. However, the management of the property was less positive. With no instructions about how to use the heating or other appliances ( like the hob!), it was rather stressful initially. Also, the only phone numbers at the property are for management companies who were very little help as they didn't know the property at all. We were also taken aback at the lack of info about parking - we couldn't find any parking in the village, so had to use the Marina car park and with two cars that added at extra £100 onto the holiday!

The place is absolutely lovely and beautifully decorated.

Our only suggestion would be that the showers require pumps to improve the weak water pressure. Also, it would be helpful to have instructions in the folder that aren’t generic but are specific to the house eg: which bins to use and when they are emptied. Also I made the assumption that we should use the IKEA bag under the sink for dirty bedding and towels, but this wasn’t specified anywhere. Other than that, we thought the place was wonderful. Many thanks

The accommodation was amazing, ideal location right next to the ferry and train station We really enjoyed our stay, very relaxing and would definitely book again

Just returned from the most relaxing stay at Ferrystone in Kingswear.

It’s such a beautifully decorated house with everything you could possibly need and more. It’s conveniently located just a stones throw from the ferry across to Dartmouth and you can hop on the steam train to Paignton just across the road. Parking is available directly opposite the property and this made life very easy. Every window has a beautiful view and you can enjoy this view even more on the stylish raised terrace. I can honestly say it was a heaven! We will hopefully be visiting again very soon.

Absolutely loved Ferrystone Cottage!

It's beautifully decorated with super-comfortable beds and its location is just brilliant for the Dartmouth ferry - literally right out the door. Also on the doorstep is the steam train to Paignton and lots of beautiful hiking trails with views across The Dart. We equally enjoyed drinks on the terrace, it's the perfect sun trap! All in all, an excellent choice for families or groups of friends alike. We will definitely be back!
