A delightful cottage

A lovely property, with fantastic view over the river towards Dartmouth. The hill to the cottage is quite steep and so are the stairs inside the property, but well worth it.

The perfect place to stay

Wonderful house. Fully equipped with all that you would require for your stay, with the most incredible view over the river. The perfect base for exploring the area. So pleased that we chose to stay in Kingswear. Highly recommended, and look forward to returning to Chapel House again in the not too distant future!

Very Enjoyable Place To Stay

We had a very enjoyable stay in Chapel House. The house is a great place to relax and take in the wonderful views over the river. It is well equipped with comfortable beds & sofas. There are some great walks from the house with Dartmouth just a short ferry ride away. Very good breakfasts available 2 mins down the road at Ebb & Flow. Netflix was an added bonus.

A delightful cottage, beautifully appointed with everything one needed in the kitchen and utility room. Absolutely everything was of the highest quality and was a joy to use. Gorgeous views from every room.As two elderly ladies luggage and the hill was a problem,but we had known about this before booking and we became more used to it as the week went by!

Lovely stay

A lovely relaxing week in Chapel House overlooking the amazing views of The River Dart. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda with either a coffee or wine it was so peaceful! We had amazing coastal walks and I think we’re certainly a bit fitter than when we arrived!! Colin was a great host and replied to any queries we had. We are so pleased we found this little gem well worth the visit!

Wonderful views!

Great property. Comfortable, with good facilities. Fabulous views day & night. Good location for sightseeing too. Would definitely recommend. If there’s one minor thing I’d suggest… emphasise that the stairs are steep in the description & the rope handrail could do with replacing as it’s jolly grubby & not v hygienic. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

What a superb place!

There is nothing that I could say that would have improved our trip (well, apart from being able to be stay longer that is!) The cottage is faultness; its location superb (albeit up a very steep short hill) and with a view to die for!! Colin was a wonderful host; and responded to messages very promptly, right throughout the booking process and during our stay. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely go back again.

Amazing views!

Great return visit! Views from lounge, dining area and balcony are stunning. Great to have en-suites to both bedrooms too. The attention to detail on cleanliness wasn’t as great as my first visit though. There were about a dozen dirty glasses, cups and plates, so I had to run everything through dishwasher on arrival and as I pulled back douvet the sheets had lumps of dirt on them. Other than that the place was v clean. I’m sure these can be resolved swiftly to resume usual great standard.

Great View from the Balcony

This is a well appointed property in a peaceful location. It is as described, having beautiful views from every room in the house and all the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is set in a good location for exploring Dartmouth with ferries always available to take you there. You can find plenty of things to do and to suit all tastes. We ventured up to Dartmoor as well as to more local places. Just one thing to note . Chapel House is is set on a very steep hill so if you have mobility problems it might not be suitable. I could say a lot more about about how lovely Chapel House and it's location are but suffice it to say we had a very enjoyable holiday

Beautiful little house with stunning views

Chapel House is a wonderful hide away with stunning views from each of its windows! Situated in the very heart of the old city of Kingswear this little House is a lovely home for holidays. Every morning we enjoyed breakfeast with beautiful views over harbour activities and the little steam train running below. The description is fully accurate and the house provides even more with two equal bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lovely sitting room and kitchen lounge. Everything is very tidy and newly equipped and renovated. We really didn‘t want to leave it again! Round the corner you find „steam packet Inn“ which became our dining room with really nice food and friendly people. We did the round trip by steam train and boat and also visited the beach at Blackpool (which awfully has got pebbles, no Sand, but a very nice surrounding). Dartmouth on the other side of the bas is easy to visit by Ferry and worth a trip. The owner Colin Marshall and his manager were very helpful when we forgot some of our clothes. We can highly recommand this beautiful house; it was the most beautiful accommodation of our roundtrip along England‘s south west coast!

Der Aufenthalt im Chapel House war wundervoll. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet und der Blick war von allen Zimmern phantastisch. Die Kommunikation mit Colin war immer sehr gut und er hatte viele Tipps für die Umgebung. Da der Weg zum Haus recht steil ist, sollte man jedoch gut zu Fuß sein.

Excellent stay

Spotless with great views across to Dartmouth and over the Marina. Very well equiped throughout and with two comfortable bedrooms both having en suite's it is perfect for two couples sharing. Lots of walking and great places to eat in Dartmouth, which does involve a short ferry ride but thats part of the fun. Would definitely return.

First Class Stay

We stayed for a week in May 2022 and will be returning. The property was great for a couple, two couples or two adults and two children, with having two large en-suite bedrooms this made it easy. The property was in the best location and the views where fantastic overlooking the Marina and Dartmouth. Colin's interaction and information before going was second to none and the property was well presented and clean. We enjoyed taking the lower ferry or passenger ferry daily to Dartmouth for breakfast. 1st class stay and will be re-booking!!

Wonderful views

This is a lovely house with great views across to Dartmouth. The lower ferry is a few minutes walk away and we hardly needed our car after we arrived as there was plenty to do in and around Dartmouth and Kingswear. There was no problem getting the car parked after the first night when we arrived late on the middle day of the Regatta. Even then we managed to move into the Marina car park after the evening fireworks had finished. We will recommend the house to family and friends :-)

Wonderful cottage and location

We had a wonderful stay at Chapel House. From the moment of booking, Colin made us feel very welcome and communication was great. The house itself is in a great location just a few minutes walk from the Kingswear Ferry, the steam train station, a small post office, cafe and a couple of pubs. We enjoyed a couple of great dinners at the Steam Packet Inn- booking definitely recommended! Chapel House was a fabulous property. It was spotlessly clean, quiet, nice and dark at night, with comfortable beds and hot, powerful showers. It has been furnished really nicely with a nautical theme giving it character. And we loved having lots of books, games and maps as well as little touches such as tea, coffee and kitchen roll etc which all made it feel like a home from home. And the views...wow! Spectacular views from every room meant that eating in and coming back for a G&T on the balcony was a real pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back and visit again!
