Reviews

super house with beautiful views.

Mr H,

Genista is a fabulous, spacious house set over 3 floors, with outside space further down. Gorgeous views over the river and towards Dartmouth and it’s stunning naval college. It was great to watch the steam train from one of the many balconies. Very comfortable beds, with John Lewis bedding. Fluffy towels, soft water area. For fish lovers, Brixham fish market is a must and great value for money. There is also a great butchers in Dartmouth, and a handy M and S food hall. Small convenience stall 5 min walk. Steam Packet pub - 5 minutes down the hill, great atmosphere and fabulous food. Great place for a lovely holiday. Thank you Paul and Alison.

Ms R,

We had a fantastic time! Such a lovely house with amazing views. Wish we could have stayed another week!

Mrs Melanie H,

We spent a week with the family in Genista and throughly enjoyed our stay. The property is beautifully renovated and the setting just breathtaking. We loved spending time outside and on the balcony enjoying the scenery and felt truly relaxed after our holiday. The rooms were beautifully furnished and the kitchens adequately equipped with everything you need for a home from home and the small selection of books and games were a really lovely bonus. We'd highly recommend the property and Kingswear and will definitely return!

Ms W,
