Ferryside
Description
This modern duplex flat is located in the middle of Kingswear, Devon's lively harbour village. Ferryside is the ideal location for those seeking a trip to this great Devonshire hotspot, as it is just a short distance from the ferry to Dartmouth and a multitude of attractions such as the steam railway, coastal walks and the River Dart.
Situated in the heart of the historic village this is a vibrant location, ideal for people watching, with the steam trains from Paignton arriving with passengers en-route for the ferries to Dartmouth and the regular 'clang' as the car ferry lowers its ramp onto the slipway nearby.
At times this is a busy and bustling location but you couldn't wish for a more convenient location close to the quay and the river. All the windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazing: ideal if it does get a bit noisy! The first of the bedrooms is on the ground level, with a king-size bed and Smart TV, as well as a dazzling bathroom with bath and shower over. Also on the ground floor is a fully fitted utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Stairs with concealed lighting lead off the hallway to a fantastic open-plan living area with a modern finish and plenty of natural light to brighten the space.Sit back and relax on the sofas and armchairs, watching your favourite shows on the 50 inch Smart TV or reflecting on your vacation so far. The kitchen, which is equipped with a variety of gadgets and elegant units, is a delightful space to prepare meals.A patio door opens to a tiny outdoor area with a bistro table and seats, perfect for people watching. The spacious master bedroom offers another king-size bed with TV, as well as a contemporary en-suite shower room. Nearby, there are a variety of cafes, art galleries, stores, and boutique eateries to explore, all set on the stunning waterfront; notable restaurants include The Seahorse Restaurant and Bushell's Riverside.The 16th-century Kingswear Castle is located close by. There are some scenic walks on the doorstep, with the property situated only a few yards from the South West Coast path.If you are feeling fit, then take the stunning coast path to the National Trust Coleton Fishacre Art Deco House and gardens, or walk alongside the river to Greenway to visit Agatha Christie's Greenway House (also National Trust) with the option of ferries back to Dartmouth or across the River to the charming Dittisham village. Make memories together at Ferryside.

What guests are saying
The further information given mentioned that there was a pay and display car park opposite the accommodation.
This car park actually cost us £50+ for the week as the longest period of stay was either 5 hours or 1 day. As we were leaving the car there overnight we had to choose the 1 day option which was £8.00! This should be mentioned in the accommodation information. The cars queuing for the ferry are stationary and immediately outside the front door of the property making it difficult to enter and exit the property especially with luggage. The vehicles often had their engines running which was noisy immediately under the lounge and bedroom windows and in the hot weather it would not be nice to open the windows. The ferry (50 yards away) was noisy as the gangway hit the slipway every time it docked and this continued from 7.00 am until 10.45 pm , quite often with loud banter from locals.
Our second time here, amazing location right by the ferry & steam train, parking close by & no need to use the car for duration of our stay.
Love the Ship Inn, a stones throw from apartment. Apartment very clean, cosy & comfy, has everything you need for a break away. Lovely sound of the lower ferry ‘clank’ when it arrives. Looking forward to booking our third trip soon!
lovely spacious apartment.
couple of small issues dealt with by the owner quickly. We had a lovely comfy stay
