I very much enjoyed my stay in the apartment, which is very well located and has lovely views across to Dartmouth. It is equipped with everything I could have needed and was impeccably clean on my arrival.

We recently stayed at Crabbers Loft in Kingswear, the Location is truly a defining feature for this cottage. It offers uninterrupted, front-facing views of the River Dart and the Dart Marina visible directly from the windows. Waking up each morning to these exquisite river views was an absolute privilege and a highlight of the stay. The connectiRead morevity and convenience of the location are outstanding. Kingswear Harbour, the steam train station, and the bus stop are all just a short walk away, making it effortless to explore Kingswear, Dartmouth, and the wider South Devon area without relying on a car. Inside, the cottage is comfortable, well-appointed, and thoughtfully maintained. The owner has provided an excellent entertainment system.A particularly memorable surprise was during the New Year period, when we were able to watch the Dartmouth fireworks directly from the comfort of the sitting rooman unexpected and delightful experience that truly elevated the stay!

Excellent location, the apartment has everything you need for a stay , Very well presented and maintained. Will definitely be looking into staying again. It was nice that we never had to use the car at all during our stay, public transport was just a short walk away and was always on time. Will recommend this place to family and friends.

Lovely place to stay but just a few things added would have made this the perfect place to stay. There was no information pack so didn't know where to put rubbish etc, no where to hang towels as radiator in the bathroom was tiny. No lamps in the bedrooms so have to get out of bed to turn light off, Only very small things, but would have made it so Read moremuch better. There is parking over the road which is 10 a day. We found a space up the hill at the back of the property but it is extremely steep to walk up so need to be fairly fit. The kitchen was nice and had most things. Everywhere was clean. Hide
