The Bolthole - Cosy & atmospheric studio, garden, fantastic location!

The Bolthole is a compact cosy detached studio nestled in the valley in the heart of Kingswear just above the River Dart and Waterhead Creek which can be seen from the garden terrace. Perfect location for the coastal path and with no hills to climb the pub, cafe and ferries to Dartmouth are just 5 minutes walk away. Recently developed using carefully selected reclaimed materials mixed with all the modern comforts to complement. It is located in front of The Loft apartment and has a lovely little private garden with some views of the river from the decked area. You can retreat from the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth in the garden and enjoy the evening sun. The idea and inspiration was to create a hidden space to escape to and the perfect base to explore South Devon & Cornwall. The decor has a coastal feel with white washed T&G timber and a hardwood waxed wooden floor reclaimed from marina boards having been weathered for 20 years. The King-size bed has a memory foam mattress and white Egyptian cotton bed linen, we also provide white bath towels and hand towels. There is also tea, coffee, sugar, milk sachets, cooking oil, salt, pepper, handwash, toilet roll and washing up liquid. There is an area to cook in the well equipped kitchenette and a vintage dining table & chairs. Natural light floods in and the garden has afternoon and evening sun accessed via double doors that open to the oak steps and up to the terrace. Free street parking is 5 mins walk away and paid parking is across the road in Dart Haven Marina. Both car and passenger ferries to cross the river are 5 mins walk away, so just park up and most things can be done on foot.

My daughter snd I stayed for two nights at this delightful property. The ferry is close by, and it was very easy to find once we’d crossed over from Dartmouth. It was very, very quiet, which we loved and we heard beautiful birdsong in the mornings. Place is cute and cosy, and we had all the amenities we needed. A short walk away is a “general “ shop. And also within quick walking distance are two pubs with great food. The wee private garden was wonderful, as well. Would definitely come back!

Beautifully appointed studio apartment
Very welcoming greeting by Matt the owner. Very tastefully furnished, clean and comfortable studio. We used the nearby marina car park. All the beauty what Dartmouth offers you is on your doorstep. From beautiful river walks, good mix of shops, to nice eateries. Just perfect.

Bijou
Beautifully presented but Very Small.... the shower room especially is not for the claustrophobic. I loved the toot & chuff of the steam railway situated adjacent, but might not be to everyone's taste. Pretty much all food/drink options are over in Dartmouth, so a ferry ride each way

Well appointed pied a terre
Matt made the whole process very easy, and we had a lovely few days exploring the area. No view from inside the property... but then it never said it had one either ! Recommendations for eating out were spot on. Crackling log fire, good beer and food at the Steam Packet.
