About this house rental

A traditional house with a modern twist! Just a short walk via the quick ferries to Dartmouth.

This delightful two bed-roomed (double + king), two en-suite maisonette has been turned upside down making the most of the stunning views of the River Dart, including the Naval College and marina.

A stunning, sunny balcony off the kitchen has wide-reaching views of the estuary, Naval College and up river. Recline on the chairs and watch boats, rowers, naval exercises, steam trains and wildlife (even basking seals).

Parking is *included in the price* at the nearby Marina (two weeks max), a short walk away. There's a useful drop-off area at the end of Wood Lane. The large Marina car park has electric car charging points.

Bedroom One (Double): You can enjoy views of the river without even getting out of bed. The stone tiled en-suite includes a shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail.

Bedroom Two (King): Benefits from a large en-suite with vaulted ceiling which includes a bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. Off this bathroom is a useful utility room with washer/dryer.

Both bedrooms enjoy amazing river views, have plenty of fitted wardrobe and drawer space with handmade bedside tables, dressing tables, long mirrors and hair dryers. The comfortable beds are made-up with new pressed-luxury white linen and sumptuous 'Dorma' pillows.

Upstairs you will find the fully equipped kitchen/diner with seating for 4 plus a handmade church pew. Everything you would expect to find in a kitchen including a dishwasher, microwave, fan oven and induction hob.

The lounge has two, two-seater sofas and a recliner chair, Digital HD TV with Amazon Prime, SEGA games console, books, games, maps & charts.

All rooms offer spectacular views and there is always something to watch on the water - we even provide binoculars!

Along with the balcony, outside Chapel House there is a small sunny courtyard with table and chairs.

Chapel House has recently undergone full refurbishment.

Fast fibre broadband and WiFi throughout with an excellent mobile phone signal.

Towels are not included (except tea towels & bath mats). Pressed luxury bed linen is provided on comfortable made-up beds.

The steep internal staircase makes it unsuitable for small children and toddlers (there is a good handrail for everyone else!).

Opposite Dartmouth, Kingswear is a friendly all year-round village with the kind of charm that makes you feel as though you’re really in Devon. There are ferries over the river every 5-10 mins running until late.

Chapel House holiday cottage is just a few minutes walk to Kingswear’s two excellent pubs, general store/off-licence, post office, bistro, two cafés, steam railway station, bus stops (to Brixham & wider Torbay) and the ferries. Kingswear lies right on the South West Coast Path near to Devon’s beautiful family friendly Blue Flag beaches.

Please be aware the property is situated on a narrow lane (signposted as 6"6) and may not be accessible for some cars. Best to approach up the lane by foot, a short (approx. 25 meters) but steep hill. There is a drop-off point at the end of the lane and the Marina parking is a short walk away.

Please get in touch if you need any advice or tips on places to visit, walks (we're right on the South West Coast path), pubs & restaurants etc.

Great return visit! Views from lounge, dining area and balcony are stunning. Great to have en-suites to both bedrooms too. The attention to detail on cleanliness wasn’t as great as my first visit though. There were about a dozen dirty glasses, cups and plates, so I had to run everything through dishwasher on arrival and as I pulled back douvet the sheets had lumps of dirt on them. Other than that the place was v clean. I’m sure these can be resolved swiftly to resume usual great standard.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Chapel House. The house is a great place to relax and take in the wonderful views over the river. It is well equipped with comfortable beds & sofas. There are some great walks from the house with Dartmouth just a short ferry ride away. Very good breakfasts available 2 mins down the road at Ebb & Flow. Netflix was an added bonus.

Great property. Comfortable, with good facilities. Fabulous views day & night. Good location for sightseeing too. Would definitely recommend. If there’s one minor thing I’d suggest… emphasise that the stairs are steep in the description & the rope handrail could do with replacing as it’s jolly grubby & not v hygienic. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

We had a lovely week in Chapel House. It is in a great location, and the views are stunning whatever the weather . We enjoyed have coffee in Dartmouth , taking the ferry across the Dart . Did the round robin and before we knew the week was over. Chapel House is a great place to stay

This is a well appointed property in a peaceful location. It is as described, having beautiful views from every room in the house and all the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is set in a good location for exploring Dartmouth with ferries always available to take you there. You can find plenty of things to do and to suit all tastes. We ventured up to Dartmoor as well as to more local places. Just one thing to note . Chapel House is is set on a very steep hill so if you have mobility problems it might not be suitable. I could say a lot more about about how lovely Chapel House and it's location are but suffice it to say we had a very enjoyable holiday

Wonderful house. Fully equipped with all that you would require for your stay, with the most incredible view over the river. The perfect base for exploring the area. So pleased that we chose to stay in Kingswear. Highly recommended, and look forward to returning to Chapel House again in the not too distant future!

A lovely property, with fantastic view over the river towards Dartmouth. The hill to the cottage is quite steep and so are the stairs inside the property, but well worth it.

A lovely relaxing week in Chapel House overlooking the amazing views of The River Dart. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda with either a coffee or wine it was so peaceful! We had amazing coastal walks and I think we’re certainly a bit fitter than when we arrived!! Colin was a great host and replied to any queries we had. We are so pleased we found this little gem well worth the visit!
