About this property

Chapel House - Stunning River Views - Balcony - Parking included

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.

Very Enjoyable Place To Stay
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.

Wonderful views!
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!

Great View from the Balcony
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

The perfect place to stay
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!

About the host

Hello I'm Colin.

I've been enjoying the delights of Dartmouth for several years after visiting with friends one New Year.

I looked at many houses for over 18 months and fell in love with Chapel House in the Autumn of 2017.

I have lived in and around Kinver, South Staffordshire for most of my life. I'm a regular in Kingswear and love the friendly village atmosphere.

I've booked holidays before using Vrbo, formerly Owners Direct and it seemed a sensible way to letting others know how to stay at Chapel House.

I am more than welcome to offer advice and tips, what to do, where to eat, events, best beaches etc - please get in touch.

Why they chose this property

I've been holidaying in Dartmouth for several years spending many happy days/nights/weeks here.

Experts say you know within 7 seconds whether or not you are going to buy a property.... I hadn't even stepped though the gate and I knew Chapel House was right. It is a beautiful old house, dating back nearly 200 years and it definitely has the cute factor or 'curb appeal'. Did I mention the view?!

The location is perfect, less than a 5 minute walk to the Lower Ferry and The Steam Packet, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Seeing the steam train come in and leave is always a welcome sight and watching the Higher Ferry is so mesmerising!

Time drifts away with you.

What makes this property unique

There are five main features to love about Chapel House;

Firstly, it has to be the view. Seeing Dartmouth and the Royal Naval College across the water is so magical, the marina is our side of the river and so you can watch people messing about with the boats too.

The 'curb appeal' and cute factor of Chapel House, its just beautiful, outside as well as in!

Wood Lane, its width restriction actually is a real benefit for us! It means very little traffic, only residents of Wood Lane drive down it, being so quiet means a very peaceful nights sleep. Chapel House is almost at the bottom of the hill, meaning an almost flat walk back from the pubs/marina car park/bistro/cafe/village shop, its just a final steep push up the last 25 meters!

Two other features that we love is that its 'upside-down' giving the best views from the main living areas, and that both bedrooms are en-suite, the main bedroom having a large bathroom, perfect for couples sharing.

Chapel House is within 200 metres of The South West Coastal path, which offers so many different options for exploring on foot all year round. There's also fantastic walks up-river with some great places to see and pubs to stop off at.

Kingswear and Dartmouth are incredibly vibrant, all year round there is something going on.
