An ideal choice for a family, friends or two couples, this beautiful, elevated apartment has marvellous river views. Known for its 15th-century castle and heritage steam train to Paignton, Kingswear is a charming village with a local store, café and two pubs.

It's just a quick ferry trip from from Kingswear to Dartmouth, one of South Devon’s most popular towns. Here you will find historic streets, a range of art galleries and independent shops, cafes and a choice of great places to eat. If you feel like exploring further you can catch a ferry for a day trip to Torquay, Salcombe or Totnes, or explore the South West Coast Path – which offers 35 walks within 10 miles of Dartmouth, ranging in difficulty from easy to challenging. Alternatively, why not take the car to the National Trust’s Coleton Fishacre (3 miles), the arts and crafts-style country home of the D’Oyly Carte family?

While the gorgeous view is what catches the eye immediately from the lounge of this lovely apartment, the feeling of comfort and style quickly becomes apparent thanks to the appealing choice of furnishings and accessories. This room also contains a pleasant dining area and flows through to the kitchen, where glossy cupboards and a terrazzo worktop add another handsome element to the interior. On the same level in the apartment are two attractive double bedrooms, both tastefully decorated, and a shared shower room.

The balcony that leads off the lounge has a table and four chairs and enjoys fabulous views of the River Dart and Waterhead Creek. There is also a patio at the front of the property with a table and two chairs, where you can make the most of the sun at the end of the day.

The location of the apartment was perfect for us as we wanted the stunning views over the river Dart and Dartmouth and to have easy access to all that Dartmouth has to offer. Overall we found the apartment comfortable. The bed was comfortable but as the bedrooms are so small the beds are small doubles, someone over 6ft tall might not find them coRead moremfortable.

The apartment was clean and tidy with fabulous views across the harbour to Dartmouth. The ferry was a couple of minutes walk away. Bedroom space was limited due to their size but a lovely apartment with a fabulous bio fire. Ideal for holidays.

Bright and sunny apartment in a perfect location withing Kingswear with wonderful views over to Dartmouth. The apartment has all the comforts needed to have a lovely holiday and great that dogs are allowed as some great walks to enjoy with your four legged friend. The fact the apartment has its own parking was a big bonus.

We had a wonderful week at Emilys, its a lovely modern cottage well-equipped and set in a stunning location with amazing views over Dartmouth.

Flat was very pleasant, although the parking space was not clearly marked, even though your web-site says it is. The steps down from the road to the flat are unavoidable but they need cleaning and the overhanging brambles need clearing. Lovely views from the flat but I'm not sure we'd opt to stay in Kingswear again.
