“Fantastic little town.”

People were really friendly. Easy to get anywhere without using the car. Cottage was so comfortable with a wonderful view. Steps to the cottage were a bit of a workout but ultimately did us good - I think. Only downside was the parking,it cost us £56 to park in the marina car park for the week.

“The cottage has everything you need.”

When you get to the top of the steps the view is superb well worth the climb.

“The cottage was wonderful, VERY clean, extremely comfortable, thoughtfully and extensively equipped (more so than any other cottage or holiday flat I have ever booked).”

My sister in law (Mrs Linda Rickard) and I could not have enjoyed a better time and we were both hugely impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of everyone we met in Kingswear. Full marks to you and I can confirm we have both been singing the praises of our wonderful week in The Boat House. If I were to make any constructive comment to you I would suggest that the access steps should be mentioned on your website. We knew about them before we booked but only because I read all the reviews printed. Also, we were slightly disappointed that despite leaving 2 messages for Donna on the phone number listed on our booking confirmation, we received no contact in response. We were unable to open the key safe (having both made many attempts to do so) - Linda Rickard has a similar key safe at her house - and we are so grateful to the charming gentleman who so kindly came to our rescue. It may be that Donna's phone does not have voice mail and does not accept text messages but I assumed that my mobile phone number would have shown up as a "missed call" Perhaps that was not the case. However, the above was a very minor blip in an otherwise fantastic holiday. We both certainly hope to repeat the visit though perhaps we would have to look at something with slightly less steps next time around as we are not getting any younger!! :-) May I also point out that we did read the "instructions" for waste removal which asked visitors to place all rubbish in the "seagull proof" sack outside the back door. There was no sack so we disposed of all recyclable items in the bins provided on the Banjo and we took all other rubbish back with us. Thanks so much With very best regards, Patricia Brown Linda Rickard I will click "yes" to publishing our feedback PROVIDED our personal details, addresses etc. are not used.

“The views from the cottage were wonderful and trips to Dartmouth to eat out were a real treat too.”

We also explored more of the area and had some nice, if arduous walks behind Kingswear. Beautiful part of the world!

The property

Right in the lovely heart of Kingswear is situated this 18th century terraced cottage.

With fabulous views along the River Dart and to Dartmouth, it is excellent accommodation with masses for families or couples to do in the area.

The view is due to its elevated location, since you climb nearly 80 steps up from the road and, in true 18th century style, pass along in front of the neighbouring doorways to your front door.

The sitting room is cosy with a traditional wood burning stove and those great views.

Enjoy cooking fresh local seafood and eating in the kitchen, with its back door opening on to a sunny little courtyard.

Steep stairs head up to the two double wood-floored bedrooms, one with river view.

Outside the front door, enjoy meals or drinks on your decked terrace over two levels, the perfect spot for the view, especially at the end of August when the Dartmouth Regatta unfolds in a blaze of glory.

You don't even have to tear yourself away from the ever changing view, since the local village shop will deliver your groceries, even logs.

There are more shops and pubs to explore in the village, plus a ferry to take you over to Dartmouth with its fascinating town life.

With crabbing, walking, boat and steam train trips, Agatha Christie’s house at Greenway and beautiful Blackpool Sands to enjoy, you can never be bored at The Boathouse.

This is a lovely location.
