Reviews

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped, wonderful views!

Mrs S,

We had at a lovely holiday at this fabulous cottage. It is very well equiped if you want to stay in & cook and positioned within easy walking distance of pubs, cafe's & restaurants in both Kingswear and Dartmouth. Beautifully furnished with a lovely log burner making for a cosy night on a chilly evening. The view from the lounge & upper deck has spectaluar views over the River Dart and we never tired of watching the steam train and boats go by! It was lovely to sit on the front terrace with a glass of wine early evening before it got to cold and then light to fire inside for a cosy evening. The cottage is positioned really well, for getting the Ferry over to Dartmouth or the bus to Brixham or Paignton, lovely to be able to leave the car parked up for a week. We will definetly be back.

Mrs M,

The position & the view are fabulous. The kitchen well equipment. The stairs and steps in & outside are very difficult to manage!!!

Mr C,

Lovely house with wonderful views towards Dartmouth. Lots to do without needing the car. Well equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday.

Ms C,

A gem of a cottage. It felt cozy and calm. The views from the garden were amazing. The village was welcoming and friendly. We will be coming back.

Mrs W,
