Wonderful Location

We really enjoyed our stay in Slipway House it is a great location and introduced us to Dartmouth which is a superb spot for a holiday. The owner was fantastic and really easy to communicate with she could not have been more helpful. Overall we did enjoy ourselves apart from the fact that the house was a bit tired and really could do with a bit of a contemporary spruce up which would then make it the perfect place to stay.

Our short stay 8n Dartmouth

SlipwayHouse was wonderful, clean, spacious, very well equipped and lovely comfortable beds. Loved the views and the noise of the ferry, loved the ferry rides to Dartmouthwhere we walked to the castle, and around the town to the fabulous shops and cafes and pubs. Went to St MarysBay and the children loved it. Wish it had been longer and in summer. Wonderful place. Thank you so much for sharing your home.

Great location, AMAZING views!

We stayed here for a week as 6 adults, 1 5 year old and a dog over Easter. Location is fantastic, right next to the ferry to Dartmouth and steam train, so very conveinent. The house itself was extremly well equiped, every little detail and extra had been thought off. The house was roomy only downside if travelling with elderly people is there is a lot of stairs, but we left fitter so not a problem. We enjoyed the outside terrace a couple of times. Our daughter loved watching the ferry come and go, and the train coming in. Paignton is lovely to visit, fantastic for kids. Kingswear is very hilly so be aware. The best thing is the views, you can spend hours just looking out of the windows. Thank you for a great stay. Our daughter is already asking when we can go back to our pink holiday home :)

Tolle Tage im Slipwayhouse

Das Haus liegt phantastisch an der Fähre Richtung Dartmouth. Man hat von den Zimmern einen herrlichen Blick auf den Ort gegenüber. Die sanitären Anlagen waren sehr gut, die Küche bestens ausgestattet. Die Matratzen waren hervorragend (wo kann man sie kaufen?) Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

Location impeccable et conforme à la description. Les environs sont attractifs. A noter pour information que traverser en voiture la rivière Dart est onéreux car via ferry.

Just Lovely

A lovely property, perfect location for a family get together. Fantastic views across to Dartmouth. The closeness of the ferry makes for good people watching and early mornings! The house is well equipped and big enough for 8 adults. Claire is an excellent owner who will do her best to sort any problem big or small! We will be back.

Great stay!

Brilliant location. Toddler loved slipway, boats, ferry and train. Lots of interest. Easy to travel along and across the river. Very spacious with lovely sunny terrace. Obviously there are the sounds of the sea lapping, seagulls calling and the working of the ferry but we didn’t find it a problem.

Lovely property, everything you need. The ferry and steam train is just on your doorstep too.

Great location lovely property and lovely outside area with seating. The car ferry is a little noisy but got used to it. The property is on three floors so glad I didn’t take my parents as they would of struggled with the stairs specially as main bedrooms are on the top floor and main shower room on the bottom floor. As a family everything you needed was on your doorstep. Ferry and steam train was a minute away so we parked the car on arrival and there it stayed. Had some lovely evenings relaxing on the balcony. Kingswear is a lovely place but very hilly. There is a Post Office next door and the people there are very helpful. A little corner shop is further up the hill for basics and their are a couple of places to eat other than that you have to go into Dartmouth for any food shopping, restaurants and shops. Ferry service is running all day till about 10:30pm and the Steam Train to Paignton is lovely it’s like going back in time.

Wonderful property, great location

We found the owner to be tremendously helpful and accommodating. The house was lovely with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Once we arrived we didn’t need our car. Everything is easily accessible with lots to do. We travelled with 2 adults, grandparents and children aged 7,12 & 15, plus dog! The ferry outside is noisy in that it bangs when it arrives, but that was part of the character of staying in the house. We enjoyed just watching the goings on from the window. If it’s not the noisy ferry, then it would be the noisy seagulls! But what’s a holiday without a seagul? All in all I would highly recommend this property and we would love to return.

Very comfortable and well equipped house right on the waterfront with stunning views

We enjoyed our short break very much. It was perfect for our family get together. Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It was lovely to be right on the waterfront and enjoy the stunning views of the River Dart. You get used to the sound of the ferry coming in next to the house. I enjoyed the short ferry trips back and forth between Kingswear and Dartmouth. Lots to do and places to visit if you desire. The owner Claire was very helpful throughout the booking and leading up to our stay providing us with some helpful information prior to our stay. Would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Jones

Host profile image
My husband is from Kingswear and we love this part of Devon as do our two children. We spend two weeks every summer here and visit as often as we can.

I did the house up myself and it is our only holiday house. We are very proud of this house and we just want anyone staying to have a wonderful holiday and want to come back again and again.

If you decide to stay with us we very much hope you enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because we love Kingswear and Dartmouth and visit as often as we can.

There is so much to do and see.

We love walking and we love the coast and views of the water not to mention good food and not having to drive from place to place.

We love the fact that from this house you can walk to everything and do not actually need your car at all once you are there. The views are just stunning from the house I remember lying in bed one morning and thinking that is a gorgeous yacht and it looks as though it is coming in to the house!

There really is so much to see and do with coastal walks, heritage sites the castle and Agatha Christies house, the steam train and an endless choice of places to eat and shop.

You won't be disappointed if you stay here.

What makes this property unique

Great location, comfortable with easy access to Dartmouth and Kingswear.
