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!

The location of the apartment was perfect for us as we wanted the stunning views over the river Dart and Dartmouth and to have easy access to all that Dartmouth has to offer.
