Wonderful views over Dartmouth and the mouth of the river. Very well appointed property with top spec appliances. The narrow road access (not suitable for normal size cars) mean thinking beforehand about moving your luggage in and out of the property.

A property with great views across the River Dart in a good location in Kingswear. As with anywhere in the area, hills and steps to manage. The access road is too narrow for most cars and advantage should be taken of parking with a permit at the Marina. Located near to ferries to Dartmouth and the steam railway station.

Outstanding views of the beautiful River Dart. Riversea Cottage is an ideal base for exploring this amazing area, close to great pubs, restaurants and walks along the coastal path. The property is comfortable and the owner is so welcoming. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Riversea Cottage. Super comfortable beds, well maintained and well equipped. Beautiful views from the house and very tranquil. We have returned well rested. The host/owner was super attentive and very friendly. We will definitely return at some point in the future.

A beautiful, comfortable house with stunning views. The house was well equipped and furnished beautifully and was a great base from which to explore the Dartford area. The added bonuses of fab WiFi and extensive tv channels were really appreciated esp. on the slightly soggy days!
