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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Home from home
A beautiful cottage, immaculately presented and well equipped. All fixtures, fittings and appliances are of very high quality. Lovely comfortable bed, with white cotton linen. The best bit of all is the incredible view over Dartmouth harbour from the lounge and kitchen. Sit and watch the ever-changing sky as the sun goes down - it’s breathtaking. It’s worth mentioning here that to get to the cottage you have to walk up a very steep hill (not very far,). We loved our stay and plan on returning.

Perfect view
The view from the house and balcony is just great, you cannot wish for more, watching sunset was a great pleasure. The house is very comfortable and very clean. There is everything you might need maybe with an exception of the coffee machine, sorry but I am a big coffee drinker. There are lots of interesting places to visit around and crossing the river is a big attraction as well. On The other side of the river you have a big selection of restaurants and bars. There are also two pubs and café on the side of the river where the house is. I would highly recommend this place!

First holiday in a long time!
Great experience from initial enquiry to checking out (which we didn’t want to do). A perfect cottage, views were so amazing! Cottage was equipped with everything we needed, clean and freshly finished. Clear and plenty of need to know information, which we found so useful. We enjoyed pizza from the old local The Ship Inn & Rockfish fish & chips. Ferries were easy to use. Discovered a lovely walk around the creek next to the railway line. So much to do. We will definitely be back to stay at lovely chapel house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were a group of 4 adults and had plenty of space. The kitchen/diner became the focal point when we were in the house with views to die for. Close to Dartmouth town and getting around by foot was no problem at all. Loved it!

Chapel House in October
Enjoyed a short stay in Kingswear, plenty to do including lots of walking, steam train and coastal/beach walks. Dartmouth a short walk away using one of the ferries, which were every few minutes until 11pm. This gave us plenty of time to eat-out in Dartmouth and meet up with friends. Will definitively return to Chapel House. Thank you Colin for making the stay so enjoyable.

Excellent stay
We stayed at Chapel House as a base to explore Kingswear, Dartmouth and the surrounding villages, beaches etc. A lovely cottage with all the mod cons on a quiet lane that heads into the centre of the quaint village of Kingswear. We visited the Steam Packet a lot and caught up with some friends there. The ferry to Dartmouth is ever-so convenient and didn't take long, the views out to sea amazing. Lots of walking too. A very live-able cottage, didn't want to leave.
