“Perfect location, wonderful views, very clean and well maintained.”

Lovely apartment, everything you need…. the only problem for us was the parking - especially when roads closed. I would highly recommend, such a lovely weekend stay. And a big thank you for the extra treats.

Thanks for a great review and glad you had a lovely stay with us. Street parking in Dartmouth is limited unfortunately but hopefully you were able to use the free pass we provide for the main town car park 5 mins away. Look forward to welcoming you back again soon. G&H (owners) Property Owner
Paula October 2024

“We have stayed at various properties in Dartmouth over the years and Kings View is without doubt the best by far.”

Wonderful location with that beautiful view. The property is really clean and attention has been paid to all the little details that made this so comfortable. Everything works! The beds are comfortable which is very important and the property is not damp! All information needed is clear and simple to follow . A lot of care and thought has been put into this property. Really well done and thank you! Until we cannot manage the outside steps we will keep trying to come back to Kings View!

- Paula, October 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for such lovely words. I see you have booked again already which is all we can ask. We have just started letting downstairs at Queens View if you do need ground floor access in the future. Details are with the same booking agent. Cheers G&H (owners) Property Owner
Ann October 2024

“Just delightful.”

Very comfortable bed.

Charlotte August 2024

“Our second visit to King’s View.”

We still love this amazing apartment with the best views over the river. The place is spotless and to a very high standard. It has everything you need. We met the owner and showed us toying Queens view downstairs which is just as amazing. We will definitely be going back next year.

- Charlotte, August 2024

Great to hear you had another lovely stay with us and were impressed with downstairs too. We take pets at Queens View should you ever need a second place to stay. See you soon. G&H (owners) Property Owner
Jacqui August 2024

“We had an amazing stay at King’s View, it’s a beautiful property in a great location with absolutely stunning views.”

The property is spotlessly clean & really comfortable with lots of really useful touches like blackout blinds. We’ve stayed in a lot of holiday lets & this is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. Highly recommended.

- Jacqui, August 2024

Thanks so much for a great review. Just seen you have booked again for next year so it’s good to know we are doing something right. See you in 2025. G&H ( Kings View Owners) Property Owner
Stephen August 2024

“The view from the windows is fantastic - enjoying 'Riverside TV' with the windows open as we dined was a really pleasurable and memorable experience.”

Everything was spotlessly clean, and the apartment very well equipped to a high standard - including a very comfortable bed. We appreciated the bottle of wine and scones & clotted cream which greeted us on arrival. Definitely on the shortlist for a further stay next time we venture to the West Country.

- Stephen, August 2024

Thanks for your lovely review and so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It means so much to get great feedback and we would love to welcome you back to Dartmouth anytime soon. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner
Sue July 2024

“Just an amazing place to stay .”

Incredible views, clean and comfortable too . We hope to return soon .

- Sue, July 2024

We would love to welcome you back and hope it won’t be too long before you are looking out of the window again at the amazing River Dart. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner
Rochelle April 2024

“We loved Kings View.”

The view of the river and the ferries is very good. The beds are very comfortable and so is the big sofa. Loved the dining table and chairs, great design and very comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean, a very rare occurrence. It was easy to keep warm too. Gary, our host responded very quickly to a couple of minor niggles.

- Rochelle, April 2024

So glad you enjoyed the apartment and particularly the view. We hope to welcome you back again one day and have now signed up to the agents lock box entry method instead of office key collection as suggested. Property Owner
Tony November 2023

“Great view, immaculately clean and well equipped.”

Plenty of local information and instructions about all the elements of the apartment which were very helpful. Only slight negative is the steel staircase to the front is difficult to navigate and get your luggage up.

- Tony, November 2023

Thanks for your constructive comments and great feedback. We weren’t in charge of the property conversion back in the 80’s but hopefully the amazing river views make up for the steps outside. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner
Edward October 2023

“Wonderful place to stay.”

Apartment well maintained and very clean. Comfy beds, brilliant views over the lower ferry on the river Dart. Very convenient for access to the town and many walks to places like Dittisham, Blackpool Sands and Greenway.

- Edward, October 2023

Great you were able to combine some river watching from the window with trips to the local area. Sounds like the perfect break and hope we will see you back with us soon. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner
Victoria September 2023

“The property was perfectly listed, nothing was a surprise to us in terms of location / facilities.”

It’s a fantastic property with spectacular views and furnished to a very high standard. The mattress in the master bedroom wasn’t to our liking (too soft) but it must be hard to find one mattress to suit everyone.

- Victoria, September 2023

Thanks for your great feedback and thoughts. Finding a balance is always hard when it comes to furnishings and home comforts but glad to hear you had a lovely time with us. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner
Carl August 2023

“Really nice comfortable stay the only thing I would suggest is an extra frying pan as one just wasn’t quite enough.”

Great stay and lovely apartment in a great location thank you very much

- Carl, August 2023

Thanks for the great feedback, we have now added a second frying pan as suggested. Property Owner
Darren July 2023

“We stayed a week at Kings View.”

Let’s start of by saying the view is fantastic over the river Dart. Spent lots of time just looking out the window watching the world go by. The place is spotless, nicely furnished and equipped with all necessary items you need. The only issue and it’s a small one is the kitchen tap is leaking

- Darren, July 2023

So glad you had a fantastic time at Kings View and thanks for the heads up on the tap which has now been fixed. Property Owner
Karen June 2023

“This was our second stay at 'Kings View'.”

We just stayed a week last year, but loved it so much, that we have just returned home from a 3 week stay, and we absolutely loved it! So totally relaxing, everything is at the apartment that you could possibly need, spotlessly clean, and the view is simply fabulous!! We had some stunning yachts come past the window during our stay, so much to see on the river Dart. Helena & Gary are the perfect hosts if you need anything at all, nothing is too much trouble :-) We hope to be back again next year...

- Karen, June 2023

“One of the best, if not the best, holiday accommodation we have stayed in.”

Perfect combination of quality, location and of course fantastic view. Always lots to watch on the river.

Caroline December 2022

“Unfortunately for a flat of this calibre the bedding was really hard and scratchy but worse had been washed in very over perfumed powder to the extent that I had an asthma attack.”

We decamped to the lounge on the sofa bed that wasn’t affected. We wrote a long letter to the owner , we had to buy new bedding (very cheaply) from Tesco but mattresses were really powerful. We asked family to come and check out and they thought it was a horrendous smell. Heard nothing from the owner and feel very disappointed by this response as they specifically asked for honest feedback.

- Caroline, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in what we have created at Kings View and believe other guest’s comments, on this site, support that so we were extremely concerned to hear of your experience. Unfortunately we were only made aware of your complaint after you had vacated the property. After speaking with the agent we called you immediately, leaving a voice message to return the call, but only got a text back the following day which we responded to that afternoon. The agents manned office, where you collected your keys, was only 5 minutes walk away, their emergency contact number was clearly visible in the property and our own personal mobile was written down in the information manual so perhaps these options might have been worth considering first before buying new sheets. As for your reaction to the bedding we were obviously mortified to hear this especially as we personally wash everything in a non-bio powder but, as a matter of course, we will review all the products used in the apartment. We can only apologise that the Kings View experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion and would like to wish you a healthy and happy start to 2023. Property Owner

“A fabulous property with stunning views.”

Spotless on arrival and well equipped.

“Beautiful place with a beautiful view, hence why I come back regularly!”

Jane November 2022

“Had a lovely few days at Kings View a fantastic property the owners have thought about everything you could possibly need.”

We have stayed at many properties but this stands out from the rest it truly is a lovely place, and the view is amazing. Would definitely recommend Kings View. Hope to come back.

- Jane, November 2022
Maria October 2022

“Second time here and absolutely perfect in every way!”

Jackie October 2022

“We love Dartmouth and especially staying at Kings View.”

The apartment and its location/ views are exceptional. The property is spotlessly clean and beautifully presented and maintained.

- Jackie, October 2022
Edward September 2022

“Just a great place to stay.”

The owners keep the place well maintained, comfy beds, brilliant views over the River Dart.

- Edward, September 2022
Teri September 2022

“In my 50 years of holidaying I would say this is truly the loveliest property I have stayed at.”

We met the owner and he was charming and you can tell that it is important to him that people have a home from home.The cleanliness,thoughtfulness and care are so rare these days…not to even mention the fantastic siting and views. We have never stayed anywhere twice but we have here.We came in 2019 and hopefully we will be back again.Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

- Teri, September 2022
Julian September 2022

“We both found the accommodation extremely comfortable with exceptionally clean facilities.”

Everything needed to cook and clean were available and easy to locate, the welcome packs were very useful and wine much appreciated! And of course the spectacular views!

- Julian, September 2022
Jackie October 2021

“We have stayed at Kings View before and, yet again, we were totally impressed .”

For us it is the perfect holiday property......immaculately clean, well presented and very comfortable, with the most amazing views ( and on this occasion, brilliant weather). We came home vowing to return once more next year. However, sadly, this is unlikely to happen!!!!? We looked at next year’s prices and were totally horrified and disappointed. We had expected prices to rise due to extra costs etc but not by £300-£400 per week. We had a wonderful week in Dartmouth, as it is a place which we particularly love and never tire of visiting, but now feel upset and disappointed.

- Jackie, October 2021
Helen July 2021

“Beautiful apartment in great location.”

If we visit Dartmouth again we will certainly return to the same place

- Helen, July 2021
Anne May 2021

“Apart from the view, of course, very comfortable and has everything you need and an excellent location for enjoying Dartmouth.”

The car park permit is useful too, though doesn't guarantee a spot when it is busy.

- Anne, May 2021
Richard April 2021

“The situation of the apartment, the lovely views, and the very high standard of cleanliness and comfort.”

We will be re booking very soon, hopefully later this year if there is any space otherwise next year.

- Richard, April 2021
Stephen September 2020

“Its a lovely apartment , extremely clean and well set out with all one requires.”

The view over the estuary is fabulous with lots of activity to see. Its a convenient short walk to town , and a nice walk to the castle and beyond. Parking can be had along the road so long as one did not stray from the parking restrictions.

- Stephen, September 2020
Andrew November 2019

“The views from this property are absolutely amazing so whatever the weather it’s a great place to be!”

The cleanliness & finish to the property is superb. We will return!

- Andrew, November 2019
Rashmi October 2019

“Whilst the apartment itself was fine, the booking process and collecting the key was not good.”

I had requested several enquiries about properties that week, however, your rep only received one. As my request was only for a 5 night booking with specific dates, we didn’t have much choice so went to book a property that seemed best for a family of 4. This was confirmed by the rep as being one that was the same price for the week. So we went ahead, booking a hotel to follow after our stay. However, the rep then came back to say that the owner was not able to take the booking after all. So very quickly we had to go with the next best option. I had told the rep that we could only arrive on Sat 19th October however, she still booked it from the 18th therefore Charging me for an extra night. I know that this property had flexibility on dates and took shorter bookings so this should not have gone ahead front he 18th but the 19th. I emailed her to ask her to contact me (as very difficult to get through on the phone) but received no phone call. Nor had any instructions been given to the Dartmouth office regarding picking up the key on the 19th therefore, when we arrived the office was closed and I had to make 3 phone calls, taking over an hour to get through to someone who gave me the key lock code. All very unnecessary and disappointing. Having booked with the co for over 12 years, this is the first time that we’ve had such issues, Furthermore, it was frustrating to talk to someone who does not know the Dartmouth area and had no understanding of how special a location it is, with lots of hills & nooks & crannies & special parking etc. The apartment itself was fine but not suitable for 4 people as the second bed is too small to fit 2.

- Rashmi, October 2019
Ann October 2019

“A perfect location to enjoy Dartmouth.”

Well equipped and comfortable. This was our second visit to this wonderful apartment and we have already booked it for next year.

- Ann, October 2019
Kris September 2019

“This apartment was spot on.”

It offered exactly what it said on the tin...actually, no it doesn't...it surpasses it. We took loads of extras and bits and pieces with us but we needn't have bothered because these people had thought of everything. The extra touches of a bottle of white wine and creamed scones was a brilliant touch - Well done all round.

- Kris, September 2019
Mr Moore Sep 2019

“Loved the views, always something happening on the river.”

Beautifully furnished and comfortable.

- Mr Moore, Sep 2019

Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Kings View and loved the views across the river. We look forward to welcoming back to Dartmouth soon Property Owner

“This is our ninth self-catering holiday in Dartmouth and Kings View is by far our favourite.”

All the properties we have stayed in have had views but Kings View is beautifully presented. Thanks for the wine and scones.

Pareen June 2019

“Wow. A brilliant flat, ideally placed with breath taking views.”

We had a few reservations as, with an 8 month baby, we weren’t too sure if this was baby friendly. However, there were no issues at all and the place was baby safe (stair gates, travel cot, etc.) by the time we had arrived. Everything is close by and the car park was closer than we were told (about a 5 min gentle walk). Dartmouth was a beautiful place and we have already recommended this accommodation to friends and family. We already want to return!

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

NOTE - No parking at the property - parking permit supplied (car park is approximately 10-15 minute walk from the apartment). Please note that the Mayors Avenue car park is closed for the Regatta Week.
