Rose cottage

Firstly the cottage is on the topmost road in Kingswear. Long hard walk upto cottage. There is no sign on the road to where Rose cottage is so took a while to find it. Although the owner stated 53 steps down we never thought they would be so steep and try carrying suitcases etc with self catering baggage, so difficult. The light didn’t work on the stairs and on the first night there my husband tripped in the dark. Yes the view is lovely and cottage well equipped and clean but sadly that was spoilt for us.

Rose Cottage, Kingswear June 21

The views from the cottage/patio are outstanding. A full view over the river and across to Dartmouth. We felt very comfortable in the cottage and enjoyed the facilities. There are frequent ferries across to Dartmouth with bus conections to Totnes. There are bus conections from Kingswear to Brixham and Paignton and of course there is the steam train to Paignton. We did feel that the condition of accessing the premises could be better explained. The steps were very steep and narrow and slippy when wet. Whilst we were able to negotiate them (I'm 70) this would be most unsuitable for persons with any eyesight/ mobility issues. Also the walks from the ferry area are very steep. We also felt that visitors should be advised which household waste collection will be taking place during their stay i.e. general waste or recycling as these are collected on separate weeks. Communication with Max, the owner is excellent and overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Location location location, could not be better (if you're ok with steps), view across to Dartmouth stunning, watching the comings and goings on the water plus a steam train! What more could you ask for?

Fabulous views and location - steps keep you fit!!

The views from the cottage are even better than the photos. We wanted to get away and just relax and look at a lovely view, and so Rose Cottage was ideal. You can pull the 2 armchairs up to the window and watch the weather change - fabulous. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for the 2 of us. We were happy to bring our own bedding and towels as we felt the property was reasonably priced to allow for that. In summer the patio must be great too (it was pretty cold and wet during our stay) . We preferred being on the Kingswear side and it's so easy to get the little passenger or car ferry across to Dartmouth whenever it's needed. The coastal walk between Kingswear and Brixham is really spectacular. Many other visitors seem to have mentioned the steps down to the property. They were not a problem for us (a good workout) but you do have to be relatively fit/mobile as the are very steep and a bit uneven, but that is clearly stated in the owners information. We would definitely visit again and have already recommended the cottage to several friends.

Cosy cottage with amazing views!

Steps....there are quite a few steps!! However, the cottage is situated in a location offering absolutely stunning views across the river to Dartmouth. The cottage is very well equipped and in an extremely quiet location. Parking is easy at the top of the steps and we hardly used the car during our week stay as we found plenty to do whether it be a trip on a steam train - station below - or a trip across the river via one of the 3 ferries. The harbour paddle steamer and steam train to Paignton trips are a must! Dartmouth offers a good variation of shops and eateries too. A very enjoyable stay and would recommend the cottage to others.

Rose Cottage

A beautiful place to stay in Dartmouth. Views from the cottage were stunning, even if it rained. Rose cottage itself was very clean and had absolutely everything you could need. The neighbours were delightful and very helpful. Lots of gorgeous coastline and countryside to explore. The steps and slopes may be a challenge for some but I think it just adds to the charm of the area. We had a lovely week and would definitely recommend.

A great little cottage, with spectacular views toward Dartmouth. It was cosy for us with two little ones, and the steps are a challenge, but worth the extra effort. A great area with friendly neighbours. Thank you to Max for your kind communications.

Delightful break

Stunning views across the estuary and a comfortable, thoughtfully equipped cottage with a flower filled terrace in this fascinating part of South Devon. The exceptionally steep steps would be hard for people with tricky feet or hips or anyone carrying young children but the view is truly worth it.

Wonderful views, always something happening. Clean, tidy, well equipped & comfortable. Bit chilly but then we did arrive with the snow. Log burner was nice touch though.
