“We have stayed in Kingswear many times and can honestly say this was the best property we have ever rented.”

The views were amazing, the property was very well equipped and the location (right by the lower ferry and train station) was brilliant.

“Lovely apartment furnished to a high level.”

Centrally positioned in Kingswear village with superb view across the river Dartmouth. Situated on the South West Coast path, ferry crossing to Dartmouth on the doorstep.
Mrs Mcdonald August 2019

“Mainstay, our holiday cottage for the week, was absolutely lovely with every need catered for.”

It was beautifully furnished and very clean. The views were exceptional across the river to Dartmouth. The location was great too with 2 pubs within a stones throw, a local shop a short walk away and both the lower ferry and Steam railway just around the corner. Thoroughly recommend....
Mrs Mannion July 2019

“Fabulous apartment, beautiful views, lovely neighbours, friendly and helpful owners.”

Information for disabled badge holders - we were advised by local traffic warden that the blue badge overrides local parking permits. (August 2019) So you can park opposite the apartment.
Mrs Lovelace July 2019

“Mainstay is within easy car free access ( via ferry) of all the attractions of Dartmouth but there is also a wonderful cafe and pub on the Kingswear side.”

The views from the main bedroom and the upstairs lounge are very special indeed and the whole property is fitted out to a high standard. Walkers will enjoy the walk to Greenways, Agatha Christies home ( get the ferry back) and, in the other direction, along the coast path to Colton Fishacre. Highly recommend

“MAINSTAY is an excellent conversion of an old house in Kingswear.”

The property has been equipped with quality fixtures and fittings with superb river views. Only down size is there is not much room around the beds.
Mr Weston March 2019

“Property is located very conveniently to ferry and to two local pubs.”

Is presented in excellent order with views over the water.
Mr Yates December 2018

“Mainstay is a first class holiday cottage.”

Really well designed and thought out. Very comfortable. Location is perfect for exploring Dartmouth and South Hams.
Mr Spyer September 2018

“A beautifully presented property making it a real home from home with lovely linens and bathroom luxuries just like a 5* hotel but with all the comforts and flexibility of self catering!”

Kingswear is a characterful, quintessentially Devon fishing village and so well placed for access to the equally charming but larger, Dartmouth. Lots to see and do and for visitors who enjoy beach holidays it offers easy access to prime beaches, or for Agatha Christe fans - a day out by steam train to Agatha Christie's home, "Greenways" and return by river cruise was a highlight of our stay. With advance planning it's possible to book a tour of the naval Dartmouth College. Mainstay is In all a location which offers something for all ages and interests. We will certainly be back!
Mrs Aldham August 2018

“We loved our holiday accommodation!”

The photos represented it accurately, and the owners were lovely to speak to. The upper lounge/ diner/ kitchen was bright, light and airy, with a kitchen fully kitted out for any cooking needs. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of storage space for clothes, and good blinds to block out the early morning sunshine. Although it's near the ferry crossing and steam train station, these only added to the charm, therefore making it a really accessible spot for anyone wanting to cross to Dartmouth and get around. The views overlooked the harbour, with an everchanging scene of sky and activity. It was a perfect spot for visiting the area, and I can heartily recommend Mainstay.

The property

This split level cottage is situated in a row of cottages on a quiet lane near the church in Kingswear.

With long views over roofs to Dartmouth and the Royal Naval College, this is a great location for couples or friends.

The hall leads you upstairs to the open plan living space, a stylish room with corner kitchen, dining area with great views whilst you eat, and sitting area with a pair of binoculars provided for checking out the ever changing views.

The two bedrooms are found on the ground floor, with a nautical theme creating a lovely atmosphere in this riverside location.

Stroll down the hill a short distance to the village shops and pubs, or take the ferry across to Dartmouth to explore the old town and maybe take a boat trip to interesting Totnes.

Located at the mouth of the River Dart, this is perfect boating country.

Visit Agatha Christie's house at National Trust Greenway or take a trip on the steam railway to Paignton.

For beaches, they don't come much lovelier than Blackpool Sands, and Torbay and Brixham have fun traditional resort attractions.

Mainstay is a smashing cottage for enjoying views or discovering the area.
