About this property

Ferrystone, a charming three-bedroom apartment in Devon's historic village of Kingswear, is just a short trip on the ferry across to Dartmouth in Devon. There is no better place than Ferrystone for a group or family of six searching for a self-catered holiday near the River Dart in Devon. Be welcomed into the sitting room where you can look forward to evenings relaxing in front of your favourite series on the wall-mounted TV. When it’s time for dinner, cook-up a storm in the contemporary kitchen which has all you need to impress your guests with culinary delights. Settle down to savour a flavourful meal at the dining table for six, as the wine is poured, and plans are made for the days ahead or settle down with a good book on the window seat admiring the views across the river to Dartmouth. If you’re not ready for the evening to end, why not enjoy your favourite tipple up on the private roof terrace? Indulge in a refreshing shower after a day of exploring, before stepping into the warm embrace of a fluffy towel, courtesy of the heated towel rail. There is also a convenient cloakroom available, ideal for those quick freshen-ups! As your eyes grow heavy, retire to one of three beautifully decorated bedrooms, a kingsize sleigh bed with TV and en-suite shower room and a superking (twins on request) and a further double room with kingsize bed, each with plenty of storage for your belongings. The property also benefits from a separate utility room with washing machine and a large storage area ideal for bikes or paddleboards with a public slipway just yards away by the Royal Dart Yacht Club. Take advantage of your superb location, where you can enjoy leisurely walks along the River Dart, visit the 16th-century Kingswear Castle with fantastic sea views, hike along the Coast Path or explore the wonders of the 1920’s National Trust site of Coleton Fishacre which includes an exotic garden. If walking isn’t your thing, hop aboard the heritage Dartmouth Steam Railway where you can enjoy a scenic tour to Paignton. For those evenings where you don’t fancy cooking, treat your loved ones to a tasty meal at The Ship Inn or Steam Packet Inn. Catch the ferry over to Dartmouth, where you can brush up on your local history at the Dartmouth Museum, explore the historic sites of the 16th-century Bayard’s Cove, Dartmouth Castle with its 15th-century tower, or hire a boat to enjoy a relaxing sail along the River Dart. For a fun-filled day the beach, head over to the glorious Blue-Flag beach of Blackpool Sands, here you can paddle the shores, try your hand at kayaking or paddle boarding, or treat your loved ones to an ice cream from the nearby café.

    We had a lovely relaxing time and really enjoyed ourselves. A couple of things to note/feedback - nothing major, but may help future guests. - Car parking: There are 2 public car parks nearby, one by the passenger ferry behind the station that is 2 minutes away but limited spaces. Or 5 minutes walk approx along the road at the marina. Download the Ringo app to make paying/extending time easier, but it is approx. £8 per day. - Kitchen: there was only one tea towel provided and no oven mitt, so the one tea towel we had was used for both drying and taking hot trays etc out the oven, which wasn't ideal. Also take some spare dishwasher tablets and bin bags, only a couple are provided for the week. Ferry crossing - the car ferry is quicker than the passenger ferry and takes foot passengers. Both are the same price too.

    House was spotless , plenty of toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, bin liners , tea towels (we did bring our own but didn’t need them) games , books, maps and soap! Everything you needed. We hardly cooked as ate out most days but the kitchen was very well equipped . We knew about the electric toothbrush issue as had read the previous reviews . Easily solved by purchasing an adapter for £2.50 in the hardware shop in Dartmouth. No reason not to charge the toothbrush! No issues with hanging space for us and there are additional hangers on backs of the doors . We loved the downstairs space for all the shoes, waking boots , fleeces and cagoules meaning we didn’t traipse mud / wet coats up the stairs. A shoe rack might be helpful maybe but it was fine . Washing machine great and hanging space helpful in the utility room. Patio was used as we had great weather mostly ! Great to sit outside and it gets the sun all day really. Previous reviews critical of showers. We had no issues - two adults and two older teen girls and all agree shower pressure fine. One thing to sort out for the future is the window in the main bedroom as it would only stay open with a cushion propping it up (I am sure the owners will address this in the long term! ) Also the door handle kept falling off to the ensuite. Minor annoyance

    . the shower tray blocked in the en-suite terrible really . One toilet roll per toilet really . I had buy more and black sacks to clear the rubbish away. Don’t expect to go oh holiday and pay this much for a property and buy toilet rolls and bin. Liners! Improve your standards please. Spot check your cleaners .. clearly nobody runs the showers to check .. make comment you have no power in the bathrooms for electric toothbrush and make it clear only 1 wardrobe in the whole place ..
