About this property
The Bolthole - Cosy & atmospheric studio, garden, fantastic location!
The Bolthole is a compact cosy detached studio nestled in the valley in the heart of Kingswear just above the River Dart and Waterhead Creek which can be seen from the garden terrace. Perfect location for the coastal path and with no hills to climb the pub, cafe and ferries to Dartmouth are just 5 minutes walk away. Recently developed using carefully selected reclaimed materials mixed with all the modern comforts to complement. It is located in front of The Loft apartment and has a lovely little private garden with some views of the river from the decked area. You can retreat from the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth in the garden and enjoy the evening sun. The idea and inspiration was to create a hidden space to escape to and the perfect base to explore South Devon & Cornwall. The decor has a coastal feel with white washed T&G timber and a hardwood waxed wooden floor reclaimed from marina boards having been weathered for 20 years. The King-size bed has a memory foam mattress and white Egyptian cotton bed linen, we also provide white bath towels and hand towels. There is also tea, coffee, sugar, milk sachets, cooking oil, salt, pepper, handwash, toilet roll and washing up liquid. There is an area to cook in the well equipped kitchenette and a vintage dining table & chairs. Natural light floods in and the garden has afternoon and evening sun accessed via double doors that open to the oak steps and up to the terrace. Free street parking is 5 mins walk away and paid parking is across the road in Dart Haven Marina. Both car and passenger ferries to cross the river are 5 mins walk away, so just park up and most things can be done on foot.

Hi, my wife and I bought the property in 2016 and previously lived in Dartmouth for several years but wanted to experience the lovely river views from Kingswear and the afternoon & evening sun! The Bolthole is separate to the main house has recently been developed specifically for people to enjoy where we live. We're more than happy to assist with any local knowledge and tips but rest assured if you don't want any contact then your stay will be very private while you're here, it's your home from home.
Why they chose this property
The central village location, some views of the river, short distance to all amenities and the enjoyable ferry trip to Dartmouth, plus we hope it's very comfy.
What makes this property unique
Walking distances to shops, restaurants, pubs, a theatre, a cinema, marinas, ferry trips, steam train, steam boat, coastal path, country walks, beaches are a short to name a few things.
