The property is twee, very small, and close to the railway station and the ferries.
The advert said there was "Parking on the premises." and the instruction manual inside the property itself (before it was crossed out by hand) said that there was parking for two cars in the driveway to the property. There is no driveway and there are double yellow lines in the road outside. Instead, parking is available (and paid for by the hosts) in a public car park 200 yards from the property. Not hugely inconvenient but not what was promised on the website.
The inside of the property was spoilt, in my view, by the dark, dingy and smelly shower room. The first of these could be solved by having a brighter lamp bulb; the second by repainting the walls a whitish colour; but the third needs the intervention of a plumber - the smell was either caused by hidden damp somewhere (where stagnant water has gone 'off') or by leaks in the WC waste somewhere. In any event, the whole cottage was permeated with this awful 'lavatory' smell.
4.0 / 5.0
Close to steam train station and ferries. A little shop that sold everything close by.
Lovely view across marina and train. All very quiet at night.
Parking was close by in the marina car park.
Very convenient to get to Dartmouth on the ferries which are running all day.
Very good eateries in the village we ate in the Ship which was very good.
It was a little busy during the day but that couldn't be helped because of traffic coming from ferry and it is only one way.
Not very conducive to anyone disabled....the stairs were quite winding at the top, and there is a steep step to get into the cottage from the street, we managed but just for people to be aware.
4.0 / 5.0
The cottage has everything needed for a couple, and lovely views over the estuary from the table in the window. Parking is easy in the marina over the road. Kingswear is a good base for exploring the area - get the steam train to Paignton ot the ferry over to Dartmouth. The hot water wasn't working when we arrived but was quickly fixed when we reported it to the agent (apparently happens quite often!)
The bathroom felt very dark and dated but was adequate.
4.5 / 5.0

The view
Lights in bathroom very poor. Need updating.
No chest drawer in main bedroom. Unfortunately hot water in kitchen faltered for first few days and scaffolding company came next door.

location and view
No spare key in the key safe and the agent told us that there were none available. Felt slightly neglected when we arrived. Felt better when we left.
Have to be wary of traffic speeding past the door leaving the ferry. Not good for kids. Really an adult property.
5.0 / 5.0
The cottage was just perfect, also loved the debate in the 'comments book' on dishwasher or washing machine! I would say washing machine.
