“Great cosy cottage with outstanding views.”

- Mrs Malthouse, October 2020
Ms Marsh September 2020

“The house was lovely but it looked a little tired.”

Even though there were 76 step to this property we soon got use to the climb up, but it would be an idea to state that this was the case in the first instance on the advert.

- Ms Marsh, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. The website clearly states the number of steps in the second paragraph of the property's description, to ensure that guests are aware of this prior to making a booking. We hope that you enjoyed your stay at The Boathouse and that we may see you again in the not too distant future. Owner relations

“Steps really are a challenge but worth the view.”

The property

In the heart of Kingswear, an 18th century terraced cottage with sensational views along the River Dart and across to Dartmouth - definitely a ships ahoy!

Not for the unfit or faint-hearted because there are 80 steps up to it from the road.

In typical 18th century style, you walk along the front of its sister cottages to your front door, with its decked terrace (tables/chairs) on two levels at the front.Living room with woodburner, TV/DVD and views to the river.

Kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven) with back door to tiny courtyard.

Steep stairs (top stairgate) up to two double bedrooms with wood floors (rugs), one with 5' bed and river view and the other with access to one side of bed only.

Bathroom (suite, 4'4" long bath with shower over).

Public car park, 300 yards.

Brilliant village shop will deliver shopping (including logs).

The terrace has unrivalled views of Dartmouth Regatta (30 August to 1 September 2018) with its spectacular fireworks and Red Arrows display.

A lovely location with lots to do, including walking, crabbing and boat and steam train trips.

Kingswear: village (shops, pubs) at the mouth of the River Dart, across the river from Dartmouth (old town).

Car/passenger ferry joins them.

Excellent base for boating.

Agatha Christie's house Greenway (National Trust), 2½ miles.
