An eclectic property blending old and new, this light-filled first-floor apartment is part of a house built by the renowned author, Don Collinson; situated on the South West Coast Path, it’s a great base for exploring the region on foot or via public transport. Opposite the driveway are public steps that lead down to Colin’s Quay, the river and a mini beach, a great spot to launch a paddleboard. It’s just 300 metres to the Lower Ferry which can take you over to Dartmouth for the day, a heritage steam railway running trips to quaint coastal towns, and Kingswear Station to catch a modern-day train. Only 500 metres away, the bus stop at the Banjo can take you anywhere, from Brixham to Torquay.

Access to the first-floor apartment is up some steps from the car park and into the open-plan kitchen, dining room with an oak table for six, and a seating area with spectacular views of the River Dart. Next to this, the elegant lounge features an ornamental Georgian stone fireplace, a Sheesham coffee table, oil paintings, stained-glass above the door and floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the room with natural light, and a Steinway upright piano. Along the hallway are the bedrooms; a king-size with a sleigh bed and a Victorian chaise, a double with a cast-iron bed, and a twin with its own wash basin offering river glimpses from the side window. The bathroom has a free-standing roll-top, claw-foot tub for an indulgent soak after a day’s walking, as well as a walk-in shower and WC. There is also a separate WC.

Sliding doors to the side of the open-plan seating area lead out to the courtyard, where a BBQ, teak table and chairs and outdoor crockery enables everyone to enjoy al fresco dining and enjoy the views. Guest parking is at the very top of the steep driveway and to the left of the property's garage.

Great place, Inspite of the long walks to access if you have to leave the car in the quay parking lot. The interior is dated, faded furniture, clumpy chairs and tables. The kitchen is great. The view is magnificent and overcomes the walk, the oldness. Value for money, yes ! view vs facilities.

We had a wonderful week, very lucky with the weather. Enjoyed boat and ferry trips and the Steam Train. Walked back from Coleton-fishacre (beautiful National Trust property & gardens) along the SW Coast Path. Going over to Dartmouth on the ferry for breakfast was fun!

A charactful house with stunning views and super location for Kingswear and Dartmouth. The road on arrival is very narrow so check the measurements in the property info. However, we had a lovely week taking in the breathtaking views and ambling around beautiful Dartmouth and Kingswear, so would most certainly come back.

Beautiful views, good location close to the ferry and 2 nice pubs. Some of the property is rather dated, especially the two smaller bedrooms, however we only used the master. Fully equipped kitchen.

We had a wonderful stay at Omega House, it is very comfortable and homely. The kitchen is extremely well equipped making it easy to prepare and enjoy family meals. The views are spectacular and we really enjoyed being able watch the ever changing comings and goings on the river dart from the floor to ceiling windows. A short walk to the ferry from Read moreKingswear to Dartmouth meant that we didn't need to take the car at all once we were there. I would highly recommend Omega House for its relative peace and tranquility being situated in Kingswear with the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth only being a few minutes away. The best of both worlds!

This is our second visit to Omega House. We've really enjoyed the beautiful views - though sadly, due to the soggy weather, mostly we've been inside this visit. Just about to pop a cork on the balcony whilst the sun is shining! The weather was gorgeous last time so we'll be back!

The apartment has amazing views which are absolutely the star of the show at the property. I would recommend the apartment for the views alone. Watching the boats go down the river Dart and the view of the castle and out to sea are stunning. There was a lovely kitchen with great amenities including a dishwasher which was fabulous. There was a recenRead moretly upgraded bathroom which was really nice.In other places the accomodation was a little dated but who cares the views more than made up for that. We loved the location and the local restaurant. Hide

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at the Collinson family home. The views from your home is like a moving J.W.M Turner painting. A truly memorable stay, catching the ferry to Dartmouth, a boat to the castle, walks along the coast and added bonus of the Dartmouth Food Festival in the first few days of our stay. Much appreciated. - Hong
