  • "Great view, immaculately clean and well equipped."

    Plenty of local information and instructions about all the elements of the apartment which were very helpful. Only slight negative is the steel staircase to the front is difficult to navigate and get your luggage up.

  • "Wonderful place to stay."

    Apartment well maintained and very clean. Comfy beds, brilliant views over the lower ferry on the river Dart. Very convenient for access to the town and many walks to places like Dittisham, Blackpool Sands and Greenway.

  • "The property was perfectly listed, nothing was a surprise to us in terms of location / facilities."

    It’s a fantastic property with spectacular views and furnished to a very high standard. The mattress in the master bedroom wasn’t to our liking (too soft) but it must be hard to find one mattress to suit everyone.

  • "Really nice comfortable stay the only thing I would suggest is an extra frying pan as one just wasn’t quite enough."

    Great stay and lovely apartment in a great location thank you very much

    Thanks for the great feedback, we have now added a second frying pan as suggested. Property Owner

  • "We stayed a week at Kings View."

    Let’s start of by saying the view is fantastic over the river Dart. Spent lots of time just looking out the window watching the world go by. The place is spotless, nicely furnished and equipped with all necessary items you need. The only issue and it’s a small one is the kitchen tap is leaking

    So glad you had a fantastic time at Kings View and thanks for the heads up on the tap which has now been fixed. Property Owner

  • "This was our second stay at 'Kings View'."

    We just stayed a week last year, but loved it so much, that we have just returned home from a 3 week stay, and we absolutely loved it! So totally relaxing, everything is at the apartment that you could possibly need, spotlessly clean, and the view is simply fabulous!! We had some stunning yachts come past the window during our stay, so much to see on the river Dart. Helena & Gary are the perfect hosts if you need anything at all, nothing is too much trouble :-) We hope to be back again next year...

    Perfect combination of quality, location and of course fantastic view. Always lots to watch on the river.

  • "Unfortunately for a flat of this calibre the bedding was really hard and scratchy but worse had been washed in very over perfumed powder to the extent that I had an asthma attack."

    We decamped to the lounge on the sofa bed that wasn’t affected. We wrote a long letter to the owner , we had to buy new bedding (very cheaply) from Tesco but mattresses were really powerful. We asked family to come and check out and they thought it was a horrendous smell. Heard nothing from the owner and feel very disappointed by this response as they specifically asked for honest feedback.

    Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in what we have created at Kings View and believe other guest’s comments, on this site, support that so we were extremely concerned to hear of your experience. Unfortunately we were only made aware of your complaint after you had vacated the property. After speaking with the agent we called you immediately, leaving a voice message to return the call, but only got a text back the following day which we responded to that afternoon. The agents manned office, where you collected your keys, was only 5 minutes walk away, their emergency contact number was clearly visible in the property and our own personal mobile was written down in the information manual so perhaps these options might have been worth considering first before buying new sheets. As for your reaction to the bedding we were obviously mortified to hear this especially as we personally wash everything in a non-bio powder but, as a matter of course, we will review all the products used in the apartment. We can only apologise that the Kings View experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion and would like to wish you a healthy and happy start to 2023. Property Owner

  • "We have stayed at Kings View before and, yet again, we were totally impressed ."

    For us it is the perfect holiday property......immaculately clean, well presented and very comfortable, with the most amazing views ( and on this occasion, brilliant weather). We came home vowing to return once more next year. However, sadly, this is unlikely to happen!!!!? We looked at next year’s prices and were totally horrified and disappointed. We had expected prices to rise due to extra costs etc but not by £300-£400 per week. We had a wonderful week in Dartmouth, as it is a place which we particularly love and never tire of visiting, but now feel upset and disappointed.

  • "Whilst the apartment itself was fine, the booking process and collecting the key was not good."

    I had requested several enquiries about properties that week, however, your rep only received one. As my request was only for a 5 night booking with specific dates, we didn’t have much choice so went to book a property that seemed best for a family of 4. This was confirmed by the rep as being one that was the same price for the week. So we went ahead, booking a hotel to follow after our stay. However, the rep then came back to say that the owner was not able to take the booking after all. So very quickly we had to go with the next best option. I had told the rep that we could only arrive on Sat 19th October however, she still booked it from the 18th therefore Charging me for an extra night. I know that this property had flexibility on dates and took shorter bookings so this should not have gone ahead front he 18th but the 19th. I emailed her to ask her to contact me (as very difficult to get through on the phone) but received no phone call. Nor had any instructions been given to the Dartmouth office regarding picking up the key on the 19th therefore, when we arrived the office was closed and I had to make 3 phone calls, taking over an hour to get through to someone who gave me the key lock code. All very unnecessary and disappointing. Having booked with the co for over 12 years, this is the first time that we’ve had such issues, Furthermore, it was frustrating to talk to someone who does not know the Dartmouth area and had no understanding of how special a location it is, with lots of hills & nooks & crannies & special parking etc. The apartment itself was fine but not suitable for 4 people as the second bed is too small to fit 2.

The extra touches of a bottle of white wine and creamed scones was a brilliant touch - Well done all round.

  • "Wow. A brilliant flat, ideally placed with breath taking views."

    We had a few reservations as, with an 8 month baby, we weren’t too sure if this was baby friendly. However, there were no issues at all and the place was baby safe (stair gates, travel cot, etc.) by the time we had arrived. Everything is close by and the car park was closer than we were told (about a 5 min gentle walk). Dartmouth was a beautiful place and we have already recommended this accommodation to friends and family. We already want to return!

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
