About this apartment rental

The Bolthole is a compact cosy detached studio nestled in the valley in the heart of Kingswear just above the River Dart and Waterhead Creek which can be seen from the garden terrace. Perfect location for the coastal path and with no hills to climb the pub, cafe and ferries to Dartmouth are just 5 minutes walk away. Recently developed using carefully selected reclaimed materials mixed with all the modern comforts to complement. It is located in front of The Loft apartment and has a lovely little private garden with some views of the river from the decked area. You can retreat from the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth in the garden and enjoy the evening sun. The idea and inspiration was to create a hidden space to escape to and the perfect base to explore South Devon & Cornwall. The decor has a coastal feel with white washed T&G timber and a hardwood waxed wooden floor reclaimed from marina boards having been weathered for 20 years. The King-size bed has a memory foam mattress and white Egyptian cotton bed linen, we also provide white bath towels and hand towels. There is also tea, coffee, sugar, milk sachets, cooking oil, salt, pepper, handwash, toilet roll and washing up liquid. There is an area to cook in the well equipped kitchenette and a vintage dining table & chairs. Natural light floods in and the garden has afternoon and evening sun accessed via double doors that open to the oak steps and up to the terrace. Free street parking is 5 mins walk away and paid parking is across the road in Dart Haven Marina. Both car and passenger ferries to cross the river are 5 mins walk away, so just park up and most things can be done on foot.

This is the second time we have stayed here for the Dartmouth Regatta, if we race next year we will be back. I made a mistake with my booking but the owner was extremely understanding and we remain here for another lovely evening.

Excellent location, bathroom ok as I'm vertically challenged but wouldn't like to be over 6ft as tight fit.

My daughter snd I stayed for two nights at this delightful property. The ferry is close by, and it was very easy to find once we’d crossed over from Dartmouth. It was very, very quiet, which we loved and we heard beautiful birdsong in the mornings. Place is cute and cosy, and we had all the amenities we needed. A short walk away is a “general “ shop. And also within quick walking distance are two pubs with great food. The wee private garden was wonderful, as well. Would definitely come back!

Beautifully appointed studio apartment

Beautifully appointed studio apartment

Very welcoming greeting by Matt the owner. Very tastefully furnished, clean and comfortable studio. We used the nearby marina car park. All the beauty what Dartmouth offers you is on your doorstep. From beautiful river walks, good mix of shops, to nice eateries. Just perfect.

Beautifully presented but Very Small.... the shower room especially is not for the claustrophobic. I loved the toot & chuff of the steam railway situated adjacent, but might not be to everyone's taste. Pretty much all food/drink options are over in Dartmouth, so a ferry ride each way

Matt made the whole process very easy, and we had a lovely few days exploring the area. No view from inside the property... but then it never said it had one either ! Recommendations for eating out were spot on. Crackling log fire, good beer and food at the Steam Packet.

We couldn’t have been more happy. Great communication in advance from the owner meant that we found the property and parking really easily. The Bolthole was even better than we expected. Set in a great location, it was spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a short break. Highly recommended

Very enjoyable stay at the bolthole .we did the stream train to paignton and also visited Torquay and Brixham. Had a lovely meal in the the steam packet on Saturday night. We were however expecting better from view of the river dart from the property.

Small but with everything we needed

Small but with everything we needed

It was very well appointed and was ok for our 3nights stay. Not sure we could have coped for a week. The bathroom is very small, my husband had to have the door open whenever he showered or shaved. He is 6' tall and found the doorways too low and cracked his head more then once. We did however enjoy our stay and loved Dartmouth.

Klein und fein: Die Schiffskabine

Klein und fein: Die Schiffskabine

Ja, es ist eine kleine Unterkunft, aber auch nicht kleiner als ein Hotelzimmer. Und hier kann man immerhin noch an Deck gehen - sprich: auf die kleine Terrasse mit Blick auf das wunderschöne Kingswear und den River Dart. Alles da, alles nah: bei der Planung wurde an nahezu alles gedacht: Miniküche ist gut ausgestattet, Stauraum bietet der Bettkasten, sogar für ein kleines Sofa ist noch Platz. Die Matratze könnte etwas dicker sein, aber auch das unterm Strich gepasst.

Hidden gem

I loved everything about this little place. From its location to all the little comfort touches provided on arrival. Matt was so quick to respond with any query both before and during my stay. I found the bathroom snall but its an extremely functional space. I found cooking in the kitchen area pretty easy. They also have all the utensils you could possibly need. All in all its a great use of space. You can utilise the street parking however it's restricted from 10-3pm. But as I was out every day it saved me the £8 per day parking charge at the marina. I'd definitely recommend it.

Compact, comfortable and practical

Cooking is possible but involves different bits of equipment. View is just visible from the terrace, which is a lovely place to sit in the evening sun. The step in the split level floor could do with a white edge to make it more obvious in half light. The whole place is lovely and clean and the bed very comfortable.

Really enjoyed our stay. The Bolthole has been very well designed to include everything you need for a short trip. The furnishings are of a very high quality and Matthew is quick to respond to any queries. Close to local pubs, the ferry and bus stops too. A little gem!
