About the host
Hosted by Matthew
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.
