We had a lovely 3 night stay. The cottage was really clean, had every thing we needed and a brand new gorgeous bathroom. The bed was really comfy and lovely linen, which is important to me! The location was perfect. Walking distance to the little harbour, the shops and pubs/restaurants. The cottage is small but exactly as advertised and for 2 people, it’s perfect.

Ideally situated very near to town centre and all amenities. The property was clean, quaint and comfortable. Ideal for a couple visiting Kingsbridge. The allocated parking space was really convenient and only a short walk from the cottage. Despite the town centre location, it was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Really handy for all the amenities of Kingsbridge. Nice little cottage, stairs perhaps a challenge for older folk like us. Car parking was good considering the snugness of the location.

Once we had become accustomed to how small the cottage was we realised how everything was provided for a comfortable stay and especially enjoyed the situation and loved Kingsbridge

Ideally Situated

The cottage is very well situated for easy access to Kingsbridge on foot and on the flat too. It's very well appointed, we didn't really want for anything. It's warm and cosy, bed was incredibly comfortable, kitchen has everything you'd reasonably need. Car parking in an allocated slot 3 minutes walk from the cottage and no problems there. Staircase is a little steep with 3 or 4 steps at the bottom so that is something to consider if you're less mobile. But otherwise - we really enjoyed our stay. Would we stay again? Definitely, yes!

A lovely, cosy bolthole in the centre of Kingsbridge.

The cottage is really well appointed. Everything has been thought of. It is in a superb position - close to the centre of all the amenities, shops and cafes, but in a quiet little square. A great place for a break to relax and explore the area.

Characterful and comfortable cottage in a great location close to the centre of Kingsbridge. Lovely!

Comfortable cottage full of character and with all necessary amenities. Just to the edge of Kingsbridge, you are just a short walk to the picturesque quay and a fair selection of shops and cafés, pubs and restaurants. Kingsbridge has a nice, vibrant atmosphere - enough going on to make it interesting but quiet enough to be an enjoyable, relaxing break. A good central location to explore the beautiful South Hams area.

An excellent Kingsbridge Cottage for two

It looked nice in the photos, and that's because it IS . Well furnished and comfortable, good heating and WiFi, close to the centre and lots of places to eat, this place was just what I needed. Good communication from the landlord, no hassles at all. Recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Miller

I moved to Kingsbridge, south Devon from Buckinghamshire, retiring early, twenty years ago.
I have always loved the countryside and its wildlife and am enjoying living in this beautiful part of England.

Why they chose this property

The row of cottages were built around 1840 and lived in by brewery and mill workers at the time.

In the 1960s and 70s the cottages were scheduled for demolition, but fortunately saved and now Grade II listed, as can be seen by the original wooden sash windows with the old wonkey glass.

As a consequence, any changes have been done in a sympathetic manner, but at the same time making it a warm, welcoming place to stay.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has level access to the centre of Kingsbridge (Kingsbridge Quay), just a few minutes walk.

Secure designated off-road parking space 150 meters from cottage.

Close to several restaurants and pubs within minutes
walk.

Close to bus station, forget your car and travel to Dartmouth/Plymouth/Salcombe/Totnes or ferry to Salcombe.

Access to an area 'of outstanding natural beauty' with many unspoilt natural beaches.
