Marina Cottage – Waterside Escape in Kingswear

A bolthole in Devon where sunsets, sea views and bubbles in the bath await!

Welcome to Marina Cottage, a picture-perfect retreat perched on the banks of the River Dart in the charming village of Kingswear. From its private balcony you can watch ferries gliding across to Dartmouth, yachts drifting upriver, and the sun sinking behind the rolling hills — a view best enjoyed with a glass of wine in hand.

Spread across two floors and thoughtfully furnished, Marina Cottage blends modern comfort with coastal charm. Sleeping up to 5 (or 7 with sofa bed), it’s ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends who want a relaxing base without compromising on style. From the lounge to the bathroom, the river views are never far away — you can even soak in the tub while watching the boats go by.

Step outside and the best of South Devon is on your doorstep. Kingswear’s pretty lanes lead down to the waterfront where ferries carry you across to vibrant Dartmouth with its historic castle, cobbled streets and endless choice of cafés, shops and galleries. The famous Dartmouth Steam Railway runs from Kingswear station, offering scenic rides along the coast, while walkers can join the South West Coast Path just minutes from the cottage. Beaches, boat trips, and countryside trails are all close at hand, making every day a new adventure.

Whether you’re tucking into fresh seafood, exploring castles and steam trains, or simply unwinding on the balcony with a book, Marina Cottage promises the perfect escape at any time of year.

Location

Discover Kingswear & Dartmouth

Set on the banks of the River Dart, Kingswear is a charming South Devon village with narrow winding lanes, pretty cottages, and unbeatable waterside views across to historic Dartmouth. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic of this coastal setting — where ferries, yachts, and fishing boats bustle on the river against a backdrop of rolling hills and timeless charm.

A Gateway to Dartmouth
Just a short hop across the water by ferry, Dartmouth offers a mix of independent shops, cafés, galleries, and restaurants, plus a lively calendar of festivals and events. The town is steeped in maritime heritage, with the iconic Dartmouth Castle guarding the river mouth and the Britannia Royal Naval College overlooking the estuary.

Food & Drink
Whether you’re after fish and chips on the embankment, fine dining by the marina, or a cosy pub meal, Dartmouth and Kingswear deliver. Fresh local seafood is a highlight, with daily catches landed nearby, while delis, bakeries and farm shops ensure you’ll always have quality local produce at hand.

For History & Culture Lovers
Explore the 14th-century Dartmouth Castle, ride the historic Dartmouth Steam Railway from Kingswear to Paignton, or visit Greenway House — Agatha Christie’s former holiday home — just a boat ride upriver. Museums, art galleries, and craft shops add cultural flavour to every visit.

Nature & Walks
The South West Coast Path runs right through Kingswear, offering spectacular walks along the clifftops. Venture inland for woodland trails, or take the ferry to Dartmouth for riverside strolls and castle walks. Beaches such as Blackpool Sands, Slapton, and Sugary Cove are within easy reach for a day by the sea.

Family Days Out
From crabbing on the embankment to exploring castles and steam trains, there’s plenty for all ages. Boat trips along the River Dart, wildlife spotting at Berry Head, and nearby attractions like Paignton Zoo or Splashdown Quaywest make Marina Cottage a great base for family adventures.

Kingswear and Dartmouth truly offer the best of South Devon — stunning scenery, rich history, fantastic food, and unforgettable coastal experiences, all just moments from Marina Cottage.
