Property code: OC-SDRIVE

Set high above Kingswear, this top-floor apartment boasts enviable views across the River Dart. The property sleeps four guests and is perfect for couples and small families seeking a relaxing holiday in idyllic surroundings. From Kingswear, hop on the ferry to Dartmouth or take the steam train to Paignton. There are also some gorgeous beaches nearby, including Blackpool Sands, just across the river. In the evenings, pour a glass of wine and unwind on your balcony, watching the colourful boats bobbing in the marina below.

The beautiful apartment is on the top floor of a period property and is accessed via a shared hallway and flight of stairs. Inside, discover a light-filled living space, with timber flooring and coastal-themed decor. Your eyes will be immediately drawn to the floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors, which open onto a balcony with folding chairs and picture-postcard views. A selection of comfortable seating is positioned next to the doors, so you can unwind and take in your surroundings. To the rear of the open-plan room is a shaker-style kitchen, and an elegant dining table fills the middle space. There are two bedrooms – one of which has an en-suite shower room – as well as a spacious bathroom.

Kingswear is a charming village, known for its colourful houses and imposing castle perched on the rocks. Enjoy a stroll around its pretty streets, dining in one of the cute cafes, before striding out on a picturesque walk along the South West Coast Path to Brixham or perhaps hopping on the South Devon Railway steam train to Paignton. Just across the water – via the ferry – is the vibrant coastal town of Dartmouth, with its fine collection of independent shops and a popular market.

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.

2A River View is a well equipped property in a beautiful location overlooking the river. However one bottle each of milk and water do not constitute a welcome pack. The instruction not to leave any household rubbish in the apartment after collection day is impractical, so needs to be re-thought as it should not be the responsibility of the holidaymRead moreaker to find a suitable waste depository. Despite these negatives we would seriously consider a return visit. Hide

WE'VE STAYED IN MANY SELF CATERING HOLIDAY LETS AND HAVE GENERALLY FOUND THAT THE QUALITY OF THE ACCOMMODATION REFLECTS THE HOLIDAY, WELL WE HAD A FANTASTIC WEEK IN KINGSWEAR. THE APARTMENT HAS STUNNING VIEWS, WITH BI FOLD DOORS WHICH OPEN ONTO A BALCONY WHICH OVERLOOKS THE MARINA AND ONTO DARTMOUTH AND THE NAVAL COLLEGE. THE APARTMENT IS VERY WELLRead more EQUIPPED AND WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN VERY RECENTLY REFURBISHED WITH QUALITY FURNITURE AND FITTINGS. THE BEDROOMS ARE A GOOD SIZE, WITH A WELL SIZED EN SUITE TO THE TOP FLOOR AND BATHROOM TO THE LOWER FLOOR. THE APARTMENT COMES WITH A PARKING PASS TO THE NEARBY MARINA, ONLY FIVE MINUTES WALK IF THAT AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO THE FERRY. A DISCOUNT CARD CAN BE PURCHASED ON THE FERRY WITH PRELOADED 20 OR 40 PASSENGER TICKETS AND ALSO SEPERATELY WITH CAR TICKETS. YOU CAN GET THIS ON THE FIRST PASSING SO ITS WORTH KNOWING IN ADVANCE AS THE DISCOUNTS ARE WELL WORTH IT. OVERALL WE COULDN'T FIND FAULT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH THE APARTMENT AND STAYING IN KINGSWEAR. Hide

A wonderful place, very clean, amazing views, highest spec items in the kitchen which was very well equipped. The only minor improvements I would say is that there is not a travel cot as it said on the website, not a problem as we have one of our own but needs to be clear on the site. Also, we asked for the twin beds to be put together as a king anRead mored they were not they were single beds still so one couple had to sleep separately which wasn't preffered. It would be helpful if they were to add blackout curtains as it was quite hard to get a baby to sleep in the bright light of the bedroom. I'd also use a more gentle fabric softener or washing pods as the smell is quite strong though of course very pleasant - not really a negative just a personal preference. Hide

Perfect property for a stay in Kingswear, the view from the main room is to die for, It comfortably sleeps four people and we will definitely return. There is also a Netflix account to use during your stay. We had a great week and didnt want to go home.

The property is very well presented and equipped. The position, overlooking the river, is wonderful. The passenger ferry is only a short walk away, giving easy access to Dartmouth. We are already planning our next visit.

There are few reasons I did not give highest grading. The property is beautifully appointed and has stunning views however: There was no welcome pack at all not even a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread which is very unusual in self catering accommodation. There were no replacement toilet rolls - we had to buy these There were no dishwasher tabletsRead more at all When we arrived we expected to find a parking pass but I had to ring to find out why there wasnt one as we had requested this and given our registration.. Apparently this done virtually with the owners of the car park. This is fine but we hadnt been informed of the fact. Had we arrived any later the office would have been closed and we would have payed for parking over the weekend. These things are minor I know but I would have given full marks to every question had these things been covered. I would be interested in hearing your comments as this would determine whether or not I book with Original Cottages again Hide

Wonderful stay at Riverview. 1st class accommodation and fantastic views. Well equipped and clean. Added bonus of parking permit. Good location, close to a good pub and cafe and the ferry over to Dartmouth and steam train. Will be returning next year.

This apartment was excellent, from the location, to the views and to the beautiful way it has been furnished. I have never been to an apartment that had a kitchen with every utensil you could think of! I would highly recommend this apartment as a base for seeing this part of Devon, or even just sitting and taking in the views and activity on the DaRead morert! Hide

Overall we had a great weekend break and the property itself was of a high standard. However, there are a number of things that could have improved our stay at 2A River View, Kingswear. It was confusing when we arrived at the property as the front door did not display the number 2A! Only No 2! I asked for the twin beds to be linked, they were noRead moret!!! This was a big disappointment. A dishcloth, washing up brush, dishwasher tablets, anti bac kitchen and toilet cleaners and a dustpan and brush were not provided. There was only one tea towel and the bath towels were not much bigger than a hand towel. Hide
