About this property

Comfortable Apartment With Parking & Patio Garden, Quiet Location Close To River

A spacious, well equipped ground floor apartment with patio garden and parking for one car. Quiet cul-de-sac location with easy access to the head of the creek, the National Trust woodlands at Hoodown, the village shop, cafe and pubs.

Open plan living room with integral dining space, fully fitted and well equipped kitchen. One bedroom with a kingsize double bed. Shower room. Enclosed private garden with space to sit out, dry clothes and store bicycles, canoes, surf boards etc. TV and Wifi provided.

The apartment is set up to be an unfussy environment in which to relax and enjoy your holiday. The floors are all laminate so you don't have to worry about spilling wine on expensive carpets! It's also ideal for bringing your dog.

The Apartment is an ideal base for exploring the area with many short, medium and long walk options right from the front door. If you want to travel further afield then there are three ferry options to Dartmouth depending on whether you want to take the car or just use the foot passenger ferry. There is a bus stop 30 yards away if you want to go to Brixham, Paignton and Torbay without the car. But if you do want to take the car then you can guarantee you'll be able to park right by the front door when you return, and that's something not many properties in Kingswear or Dartmouth can offer!

Wow, I'm not sure that's the compliment it was meant to be! We spent a lot last year putting in new flooring, complete new kitchen with top of the range oven, hood fridge, washing machine and dishwasher, new smart heater and redecorating but hey, like the man says, we're good value and if you are more interested in spending time in our beautiful part of Devon than checking out the furnishings then you'll have a lovely time!

Lovely Kingswear

Well equipped apartment in Kingswear with it’s own parking space, absolute blessing in this area. Approx 10-15 min walk to the ferry across to Dartmouth, can be a tricky walk in the dark as along the creek and no footpath on the road. But we’ll worth it as local pubs in Kingswear very good and loads of choice where to eat and drink across in Dartmouth. Lovely week and would certainly visit again.

Convenient level position in Kingsweir.Good sized flat with all amenities.I am disabled & didn't like the very low double bed which was not very comfortable. Same goes for the settee - I had to use the cushions to sit comfortably.

Hi Roger, we're glad you liked the flat and enjoyed your stay. We did discuss your disabilities before you rented the flat and we did give you the opportunity to back out of the rental if you felt it might be difficult to move around. The bed and sofa are in the normal height range but I appreciate that you found them difficult. I also find lower beds awkward so we can look at that for the future. It was nice to meet you briefly when I visited during your stay. Best regards, Pete

Nice property overall

Excellent position for enjoying this part of Devon. So loved the Waterhead Creek walk into Kingswear, which Molly the Beagle enjoyed every morning. Spacious well equipped flat but we could tell it was the end of the summer season as mold around bath and wall in the bathroom - cleaners must not see this as part of their remit. That aside all was good and the owners very helpful when we lost the paper with the key code on it and had a query about rubbish collections!!! Would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 April 2020
Thanks for a nice review. As the flat is booked most of the summer we don't, as owners, get to see it as often as we would like and so were rather horrified to see the mould in the bathroom when we did get in last week. We have a) dealt with it and b) informed the cleaners that it needs dealing with at every cleaning cycle so it doesn't develop again. Please accept our apologies! Pete & Tina

Brilliant place, away from centre but within 10 minutes creek side stroll.

Excellent apartment, well appointed, great layout and size for two people. The pictures and description were spot on. The garden is beautiful, it has a large patio and terraced borders full of ferns and woodland plants going backwards to the woods. It would benefit by having the next terrace landscaped for seating so you’d catch the late afternoon/ early evening sun. It’s very close to the creek and beautiful walks along the River Dart. We had an excellent time, we walked into Kingswear every evening or walked and caught ferry to Dartmouth and had dinner. Great location, many places in Dartmouth and Kingswear do not have parking or gardens so this was perfect.

A great holiday in Kingswear

Ideal for what we wanted, so handy for all the places we wanted to go to, very convenient for the Ferry across to Dartmouth, Steam train and excellent dog walks. Also the flat was situated in a very quiet cul-de-sac and one of the few places with its own car parking outside the property on its own drive.

Lovely Appartment,

Peter was a great host for his property answering all queries promptly. The appartment was better than described complete with a new well equipped modern kitchen. The location is very relaxed and central to towns in Devon, Brixham, Paignton, Torquay, Totnes and some lovely beaches, Blackpool sands & Slapton. Kingswear is very quiet with only one pub, shop & a bistro open at the moment. Dartmouth is a quick local ferry ride away. Steam train to Paignton also just down the road. The property has on site parking & a car is desirable for this area. Very dog friendly as the rear garden is enclosed. Overall, we loved it, fantastic holiday, thanks Peter. Kevin, Jo & Lily the Westie.

Kingswear for Two

A spacious downstairs accommodation ideal for two people plus a dog. Well kitted out kitchen with good quality implements, crockery etc. Be warned though, the TV reception for this area is poor and only decent for BBC! You might need an Ipad if a ITV fan The property is located a 12 minute walk to the ferry at Kingswear and there are some very good dog walks in the vicinity. The area around the Creek is also very pleasant. The only downside to the property is that the outside, especially the rear garden, could do with some urgent attention. The garden is overgrown and not too pleasant to sit in. Also very gloomy at the back. One bonus is that the bus stop for Brixham and Paignton is only 80 yards away with a regular bus service. An enjoyable holiday!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 July 2021
TV reception has always been a problem in this area as the steep hills in Kingswear mask both the satellite and terrestrial transmissions. That's why we have a broadband connection because all the main channels are available over the internet. There is only a patio area not a garden so we're not sure about that part of the comment. There is a bank coming down from the woods at the rear of the property, which we like to keep as wild as possible for the wildlife. There is a plum tree in amongst it and some plants like ferns and irises but the area available for sitting in is all patio, which we weed as often as possible but in the summer they sprout up very quickly. The flat is in a wooded valley so while I wouldn't describe it as 'gloomy' it is often in the shade. It's ideal for walks and wildlife watching and that's why we've always aimed our marketing at people who enjoy the outdoors, like we do!

Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2021
This is a difficult criticism to respond to but here goes: Darkness - The flat is in a small wooded valley. It's part of the charm of the place. It's full of wildlife, birds etc. but clearly the trees absorb some of the sunlight, especially during summer. The flat isn't 'dark'. It has big windows but it's in a shady area, which when it's really hot is something of a relief. Condensation - This is caused by a combination of human activities and lack of ventilation. Human breath (especially at night) releases water vapour. So does cooking or showering. The flat is not inherently damp with condensation. It only becomes 'full of it' if people don't open the windows (even just a crack) or use the extractor fan in the bathroom. We implore people to use basic common sense; if you seal the flat up by shutting the doors and windows all the time then your own activities will inevitably cause condensation. It doesn't need to happen and indeed, for most of us who use the flat, it doesn't.

In a perfect location to enjoy Dartmouth and the surrounding area the perfect place to park the car up for the week lovely walks straight from the door and lots of nice places to visit by ferry. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a big bonus for us was a garden for the dogs I do think we would prefer to stay in Kingswear rather than Dartmouth as we enjoyed the walks and ferry rides so much Hopefully we will be back soon Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Peter Martin

Host profile image
We are active, outdoorsy people with three dogs and a small boat which is on a trailer outside the apartment. We love walking in the woods and along the coast paths, and spending days with the dogs on the beach at Man Sands. We also love pottering up the river on our boat and visiting the Anchorstone Cafe at Dittisham, famous for local seafood. We are also interested in wildlife particularly the many seabirds we see on the Dart, including egrets and oyster catchers. It's also a good day when we see seals and dolphins in the harbour! Having said that, we also love to settle in with a good book and a glass of something nice, and just relax!

Why they chose this property

We bought the upstairs apartment in 2006 because we have always loved Dartmouth and being by the sea. We acquired the downstairs flat in 2012. We like Kingswear because it's a bit quieter than Dartmouth and because the dog walking and boat launching is right on the doorstep. However, all the fun and bustle of Dartmouth is just a short ferry ride away (or trip on the boat) but we can leave it behind when we want a little peace! Kingswear has a proper village atmosphere and it's a lovely little community where everyone knows each other. We chose the apartment for it's simple practicality, as we spend most of our time outdoors. Also, we have our own parking space!

What makes this property unique

Being in a cul-de-sac means the 'street', such as it is, is safe and quiet. The most noise we get comes from the owls in the woods at night!
