Description

Marina Cottage is a charming Kingswear holiday cottage overlooking the River Dart, offering spectacular views across to Dartmouth. This stylish South Devon holiday home sleeps up to seven guests and features a private balcony, spacious lounge, and flexible bedrooms. Located moments from the ferry, Dartmouth Steam Railway, and the South West Coast Path, it’s the perfect base for exploring the Devon coast.

With uninterrupted views stretching across the river towards Dartmouth, this delightful holiday cottage places you at the heart of one of Devon’s most scenic waterfront settings. From your private balcony, watch ferries glide across the river, yachts drift upstream, and the famous steam train arrive and depart from Kingswear station as the sun sets behind the rolling hills - best enjoyed with a glass of wine in hand!

Spanning two floors and thoughtfully designed for comfort, Marina Cottage blends modern convenience with relaxed coastal charm. From the lounge to the bathroom, the stunning River Dart views are never far away - you can even soak in the bath while watching boats gently pass by.

Step outside and discover the best of South Devon right on your doorstep. Kingswear’s winding lanes lead down to the lively waterfront, where regular ferries take you across to the vibrant town of Dartmouth, home to historic castles, independent boutiques, galleries, and an abundance of award-winning restaurants and cafés. The renowned Dartmouth Steam Railway departs from Kingswear station, offering scenic coastal journeys, while walkers can join the South West Coast Path just minutes from the cottage. With beaches, boat trips, and countryside trails all within easy reach, every day brings a new adventure.

Whether you’re exploring historic Dartmouth, enjoying fresh seafood by the harbour, riding the steam train along the coast, or simply unwinding on the balcony with a book, Marina Cottage offers the perfect escape in South Devon at any time of year.

Location

Set beside the beautiful River Dart, Kingswear and Dartmouth are some of South Devon's most popular coastal destinations, renowned for their sailing heritage, scenic walks, and relaxed waterside lifestyle. Guests can enjoy a wide range of water sports, including sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding, or simply take to the water on one of the many River Dart boat trips. Regular ferries run from Dartmouth along the river to the picturesque village of Dittisham, where you can try traditional crabbing on the pontoon, or continue upstream to the historic market town of Totnes, known for its independent shops, cafes and riverside walks.

In Dittisham lies the National Trust's Greenway Estate, the former holiday home of Agatha Christie, surrounded by peaceful woodland gardens and offering stunning river views. Dartmouth Castle, another National Trust landmark, sits at the mouth of the River Dart and can be reached on foot via scenic coastal and woodland paths, offering panoramic views across the coastline and out to sea.

Dartmouth boasts a vibrant foor and drink scene, with an excellent choice of waterside restaurants, traditional pubs and cafes. Well-known favourites include The Seahorse, The Angel, and Taylors, whilst just a short drive away you'll find popular countryside pubs such as The Watermans Arms, The Maltsters Arms, Hunters Lodge Inn and Durant Arms, all ideal for relaxed dining after a day exploring the South Hams.

For families, Kindswear makes an excellent base for visiting some of Devon's top family attractions, including Pennywell Farm, Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary , Buckfast Butterfly Farm, Totnes Rare Breeds Farm, Woodlands Family Theme Park and Paignton Zoo., all within easy driving distance.

Beach lovers are equally well catered for, with Castle Cove and Sugary Cove, perfect for a quiet paddle or picnic. Just four miles away lies Blackpool Sands, one of South Devon's most popular beaches, known for its crystal-clear waters, water sports hire and beachside cafe. Around a 30-minute drive away is the iconic Bantham Beach, frequently ranked among the best beaches in Devon, offering wide sandy shores, rolling dunes, excellent surf and stunning views across the estuary to Burgh Island.
