About this house rental

Port Side offers captivating river views, stylish boutique interiors, and a friendly village lifestyle. It sits in an elevated position in the pretty village of Kingswear, opposite Dartmouth where the river meets the English Channel. Bright and airy inside, Port Side comfortably sleeps families of five over three spacious bedrooms. This boutique-style home offers total relaxation from its convenient location for exploring the very best of one of Devon's favourite and most historic places.


Accommodation:

A flight of steps from the driveway take you up to the front door, which opens to the ground-floor hallway with the master bedroom off to the left and the 2 other bedrooms and bathroom off to the right. The en suite master bedroom has a kingsize bed. Patio doors open onto a balcony and offer outstanding views across Waterhead Creek and over the river to Dartmouth. There is a dressing area off the bedroom leading to the en suite shower room.

Down the hall, there's a cosy single bedroom where, again, large windows fill the room with light and offer river views. At the end of the hallway, there's another kingsize bedroom with ample storage, as well as a side door to access the patio garden on this level. The family bathroom is also on this floor and has a shower, toilet and basin.

The stairs from the ground floor come up to a lovely light-filled landing with big patio doors at the rear of the property; off to the right are the kitchen and dining room. To the left are the utility room and the living room. The living room is a lovely light spacious room with two comfortable sofas, an armchair, and a wall-mounted TV above the log-effect electric fire. Large sliding windows open onto a balcony and offer lovely views.

Double doors from the lounge to the dining room give a lovely open-plan feel; the dining room has a large table and chairs that comfortably seat five guests. Windows that stretch the length of the room really make the most of the view, and patio doors on the far wall that opens onto the beautiful deck bring a feeling of alfresco dining, even if it's a bit chilly. The kitchen is at the rear of the property and is very well equipped with an oven and hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher; again a patio door allows you to access the large deck. There is also a utility room on the first floor with WC, washing machine, and tumble dryer.

Outside:

The main large deck off the first floor has access from the dining room and kitchen. It's the perfect spot for taking in the view with a morning coffee or ending the day with an al fresco meal. Steps down from the deck take you to the second bedroom.

Parking:

There is parking for two cars on the driveway

Please Note:

This property has feather duvets

The location was excellent, with truly amazing views from the balcony. The apartment was generally clean and comfortable. However, it was disappointing to find that areas behind cabinets, skirting boards, and behind the doors were quite dusty. Additionally, there was noticeable black mould around the shower door and on the bathroom ceiling, which detracted from the overall experience. With a bit more attention to deep cleaning, this place could be outstanding.

We had a wonderful time staying at Port Side. Super location overlooking the estuary and a short walk to the ferry and a lovely pub, bakery and cafe! We loved the area and would highly recommend the house. It was clean and super comfortable for us as a family of 4. We will be back!

The property is beautiful and maintained to a very high standard. The views from the bedrooms, balconies and terrace are quite simply stunning. You can see the Paignton to Dartmouth steam train crossing the railway bridge from the terrace which kept our 6 year old happy. You can cross over to Dartmouth via car ferry or as a foot passenger. Its a 10 / 15 minute walk (with a child) from the house down to the ferry. The house has all.the essentials and a great range of games in the living room. If I won the lottery I would be very tempted to put in an offer!

On the whole the house is nice, but a few points Plus points are the location with great views, the parking space (advertised as for 2 cars but would be tight for 2 unless both very small), well equipped house, lots of plates, mugs, glasses etc. Beds are very comfortable, for the most part decor throughout is very good but just the areas below in the negatives let it down a bit. A few negative points. You'll need to have your own iPlayer and ITV accounts to use the TVs as smart TVs as the aerial signal wasn't strong enough so not possible to watch via freeview. Dart Valley did offer to have someone in to look into but as it's an aerial issue and not a quick fix we didn't want the interruptions. Just making people aware they'll need to use TVs as smart TVs only. The main bathroom is a bit dated which is a shame as the other en-suite is very nice. The curtains didn't pull properly, lots of hooks missing and need re-hanging. Oven could do with a proper clean.

The first thing to say is that the website images do not do justice to the Port Side property. There are wonderful views of Kingswear/Dartmouth from the living areas and ample chairs and table space on the decking. The house is comfortable, well equipped and clean. Port Side is an excellent base for a holiday - easy access to the ferries and a joy to be able to watch (and hear) the steam trains go back and forth from the comfort of the house. There is easy access to the South Devon Coastal path if you’re a walker. For info - there are lots of steps to access the house so it’s not wheelchair friendly. But it’s a great house and I’d go back in a heartbeat…
