An elevated riverside apartment offering serene water and countryside views across Kingswear. This stylishly presented retreat is perfect for couples or groups of friends exploring the South Devon coast with their waggy-tailed amigos. Furry-pawed passengers can feel the salt spray whilst gliding towards Dartmouth (1 mile) aboard the passenger ferry, before tackling a chew stretched on the secluded glass-fronted balcony.

This tastefully designed property boasts a vibrant interior with sunny accent colours complimented by sleek neutral tones and clean lines. Towel off soggy paws then be tempted into the open-plan living space. Peruse the intriguing bookshelf for a holiday read or snuggle up amongst the plump scatter pillows. Whip up an evening feast in the glossy kitchen with Art Deco-inspired terrazzo worktops. Dine gathered around the sleek glass table and raise a toast to your special occasion. In warmer months, throw open the patio doors and indulge in an al fresco supper while your curious canines sniff in the wind. Rest up in your choice of two wonderfully presented double bedrooms (4'6" double beds), each with crisp linens and coordinated soft furnishings. Sip your morning coffee overlooking the River Dart from the balcony or catch some evening rays from the sheltered patio.

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.

Set noses twitching with a saunter along the colourful houses lining the glistening waterfront of Kingswear (500 metres) then refuel alongside the hound-loving locals at the local inn (200 metres) brimming with traditional seaside charm. Snuffle through leaves and spot wildlife on the woodland trail winding along the Dart Estuary towards Greenway (4 miles) or venture into the Devonshire countryside on the Dartmouth Steam Railway (7 miles). A perfect location to join the South West Coastal Path.

A few (minor) quibbles for what is a great location, and with a bonus of off street parking, once you find it. The property is much smaller than it looks in the pictures, the bedrooms especially so - really cramped. We were disappointed not to have basics like washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, spare tea towels or toilet rolls. The oven was not vRead moreery clean. But the lounge is fine with a wonderful view from the balcony. We were lucky not to be disturbed by people in the AirBnB flat above, but can imagine it could be an issue. Arriving in the dark we struggled to find the correct property as there is no signage visible from the road, and the parking is unmarked. Hide

Nice location, good parking for one car. The steps can be tricky when carrying heavy loads down to the front door from the parking area. Ideal for a week away. The best restaurants are across the river in Dartmouth. We enjoyed day trips using the ferries, buses and steam railway that are all close at hand.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this lobely well equipped light , airy and comfortable two bed apartment, there were quite a few steps down to the entrance, but manageable with the handrails, and made worthwhile by the spectacular views over the river and steam railway across to Dartmouth easy walk to ferry crossing and two pubs serving good foodRead more.

The cottage is well appointed. The bedrooms are compact, with not a lot of wardrobe space. It was clean with plenty of equipment. The views are beautiful, especially at night.

A compact and well appointed apartment with superb views across the Dart estuary to Dartmouth. It is located a short stroll from the ferries to Dartmouth and the Ship Inn at Kingswear which we particularly enjoyed. The parking space is particularly useful. Highly recommended.

Instructions for parking were not easy. Suggest you put parking is just before the school sign. Black sign on black gate not helpful when you are driving! Very helpful response when we had no hot water, someone came out after 9 pm. Much appreciated! Location and views were stunning! Bedrooms rather small but would come back. A great place to stay!
