Property code: OC-SDRIVE

Perfect for a family, friends or two couples, this exceptional apartment is on the top floor of a period building in Kingswear and has views to die for from its heighty position. Kingswear is a charming village, known for its prominent castle and delightful steam train to Paignton, and for being just a short and scenic ferry ride from Dartmouth, one of South Devon’s most popular towns. Here you will find pretty, historic streets, a choice of lovely places to eat and a variety of art galleries and independent shops. When you feel like exploring further you can catch a ferry for a day trip to Torquay, Salcombe or Totnes, stride out on the South West Coast Path – which offers 35 walks within 10 miles of Dartmouth, or drive 5.5 miles to the National Trust’s Greenway house and garden, the atmospheric former holiday home of author Agatha Christie.

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.

Accessed via a shared hallway and a flight of stairs, this comfortable second-floor apartment has a gorgeous, timber-floored living space that runs the length of the apartment, full of light from its windows at each end. The lounge area has floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, glazed bi-fold doors that lead to a balcony and offer fabulous views over Dartmouth’s marina and the river, and in the centre is a handsome dining table and four chairs. At the opposite end, a well-designed kitchen boasts painted, Shaker-style cabinets and all the appliances and equipment necessary for stress-free cooking, whether quick snacks or gourmet meals of local produce. On the same level are the two appealing bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower room and a super-king-size (twin on request), plus a bright, spacious bathroom.

A delightful balcony leads directly off the lounge area, with two folding chairs (stored beneath the sofa) for you to relax and enjoy the beautiful views.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size (zip-and-link beds that can be made up as a twin on request), 1 king-size
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 bathroom with shower and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with WC

Very rarely give a review but this probably the best rental property we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The views are amazing and the free car parking space is nearby. We did not use our car as everything is accessible by ferry, bus or the steam train. Have already recommended to our friends!

Excellent location in Kingswear, comfortable, spacious, apartment overlooking the Dart Marina and River Dart, fantastic views, always something to watch on the river. Ideally situated for local pubs and restaurants, for river or coastal walks and local attractions, river trips, and rides on the heritage railway.

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!

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
