Property code: OC-BC1505

This fantastic property, situated in the picturesque village of Kingswear with stunning views of Dart Haven Marina, is the perfect luxurious holiday home for four. With two spacious bedrooms, one with fantastic river views, and a multi-tiered garden that looks over the marina, this property is ideal for couples, friends or families looking to escape the stresses of reality and embrace waterside living. Wake up among soft, neutral decor and head down to the terrace with your morning coffee to watch the golden hour unfold.

Take the steps up to the front door and enter into a beautifully-decorated open-plan living area. Cook up a storm in the large shaker-style kitchen and dine at the industrial-style table, or grab quick breakfasts at the breakfast bar. In the evening, get cosy around the wood burner in the living area; sit on the statement chairs or sofa and watch TV or curl up with your favourite book. But if the weather is nice, you must make use of the garden; head up to the top tier with your tipple of choice and gaze out at the marina and across to Dartmouth.

The adventurers among you have got to take a guided tour with Sea Kayak Devon (1 mile); they’ll take you to hidden coves and picnic spots only accessible by water and you might even see seals and dolphins. For a beach day, Blackpool Sands is only 4 miles away and is perfect for swimming and water sports. It’s also worth taking a trip to Brixham (6.5 miles), where the heritage museum, the replica of the Golden Hind and the Shoalstone Seawater Pool all offer great family days out. For bracing walks and stunning views, head to Berry Head National Nature Reserve (5.5 miles).

We had at a lovely holiday at this fabulous cottage. It is very well equiped if you want to stay in & cook and positioned within easy walking distance of pubs, cafe's & restaurants in both Kingswear and Dartmouth. Beautifully furnished with a lovely log burner making for a cosy night on a chilly evening. The view from the lounge & upper deck hasRead more spectaluar views over the River Dart and we never tired of watching the steam train and boats go by! It was lovely to sit on the front terrace with a glass of wine early evening before it got to cold and then light to fire inside for a cosy evening. The cottage is positioned really well, for getting the Ferry over to Dartmouth or the bus to Brixham or Paignton, lovely to be able to leave the car parked up for a week. We will definetly be back.
