Property code: OC-BC345

This is a fabulous, luxurious property in popular Kingswear – the perfect holiday home for a larger family or groups of friends. With room for seven guests, you can spend your days exploring the village and taking the passenger ferry across to Dartmouth, and your evenings relaxing in your opulent surroundings, enjoying the views across the water.

The bright and modern accommodation is arranged upside down to maximise the stunning river views. Step into the entrance-floor level where three of the property’s four relaxing bedrooms are found, all offering flexible sleeping arrangements for a group getaway. A large bathroom enjoying river views is also on this floor. Step down to the ground floor where there is the final bedroom alongside another bathroom, with the basement level a floor below having handy washing facilities. Back up on the property’s top floor is the main social space – an expansive open-plan living area which is perfect for chatting in with family and friends. Rustle up a meal in the modern kitchen and enjoy it around the dining table or step out to the attractive raised terrace at the rear of the house to drink in the views with a glass of fizz. There is also a further landscaped area with sun loungers where you can soak up the South Devon sunshine.

The waterside village of Kingswear is in a fabulous location and offers easy access into Dartmouth with its winding streets and pretty inner harbour – it’s only 300 metres from the property to the passenger ferry across the River Dart. With several marinas and many deep-water moorings, Kingswear is a sailing haven and it’s also home to the Royal Dart Yacht Club which puts on the annual Royal Regatta at the end of August. You'll find all the local amenities within 0.5 miles including pubs and a very good local shop. Make sure you head to Kingswear station (300 metres) and take the historic steam train to Paignton – it’s a lovely journey where you’ll feel as though you're stepping back in time.

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.

Beautiful house in an amazing location, with lovely views down the river to the sea. Nice quiet area, with a couple of good pubs, and Dartmouth just 10 minutes away by ferry.

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!
