  This is a lovely apartment well decorated with a black and white theme and retention of some period features.

  Car parking is in a public car park some 2 mins walk away. There are close to the property short stay bays of 30 minutes and we used these to load and unload the car. The apartment is one of three in a building which has commercial premises at ground level. Under apartment 2 was a Taste of Devon butcher. We had little noise from this establishment and what we did have was after 09.00am. I can recommend the sausages and kebabs. The other side was a Thai restaurant which while busy (we did not use this restaurant) again did not bother us. There is an outside seating area looking out onto a green. However at the rear of the Thai restaurant is an air conditioning cooling unit. This is quite noisy. This did not bother us unduly getting to sleep as we had the windows and doors closed. If it was hot in the bedroom and while there was a fan unit in there if you needed a window or door open it could an issue. The unit turned off at 1.00am. The apartment is very close to the seafront, an Aldi and two pubs and eatery's. Would recommend Pisani pizza and Frydays fish and chips.

  The apartment was simply stunning.

  It is incredibly well furnished and the kitchen is stocked with all the items you need and more. There was only 2 of us staying but the apartment could easily cater for 6 if there were more beds! The bed was really comfy and the bedding was of high quality. The location is amazing, we often got take out and sat on the balcony to eat rather than in the restaurants on the street below as the view from the apartment was better than if you were sat in them. We also never heard noise from the apartment or restaurant below which was something we were concerned about before we arrived. The parking permit was also extremely useful and could be used in some other car parks nearby to Dartmouth which was great. The only very minor comment I would make is that when we arrived the hot water had been turned off so the shower was cold. Once we’d figured out this was it we didn’t have any more problems but I’d suggest that the hot water is left on for future guests. Overall, a great stay and we’d love to come back again in the future!

  Overall the place is lovely, the views are totally spectacular and the layout of the apartment is well thought out.

  I don't wish to criticise too much because we did really enjoy our stay. The following things for us would have made it perfect and I feel might make a big difference to other people staying so I wish this to be helpful, not critical. We found the beds uncomfortable, we tried both and they were really hard. My partner didn't really sleep well. The sofa was also very uncomfortable, it slides down when you sit on it so overall we found it hard to relax at the apartment in the evening. The two arm chairs were good for us. Some of lights don't work in the bathroom, there might be good reason for this. Two of the draws in the furniture in living room fall open all the time after you close them, I am guessing that is to do with how the room slopes. Not a big issue for us but thought it was work letting you know. Everything else was great and we loved watching the river from the balcony. Less fussy people who are out and about more and don't mind very firm beds will love this place. Its also very spacious and clean.

  Oystershell cottage is in a fabulous location, with outstanding views from the front of the property and the vertiginous terraced garden. It was very clean and comfortable, and felt like a home. The kitchen is a little rustic but has all you need to prepare a meal. The appliances - including the full size dishwasher - were all like new and worked perfectly. Also the utility room was great for storing gear. There were some very thoughtful touches like a crab net and bucket, a bbq and ample garden furniture. The garden is slightly wild but pretty, with a lovely deck and summer house at the top, and benefits from the sun for the most part of the day. Although the cottage is on the main road to the ferry, there wasn’t much traffic and it was very quiet in the evenings - we could hear the owls hooting in the woods on the other side of the creek. Kingswear itself is attractive with good walks from the village and easy, frequent access to Dartmouth on the ferry. Overall a great place to stay.

  We have stayed in this apartment on 2 previous occasions.

  There were a few issues this time to do with maintenance of the property that was disappointing. The hot water tap in the bathroom came off ,if this was dropped into the sink ,it could have caused damage. The water in the sink did not drain away properly, we were concerned that this may cause damage to other attached properties. The bathroom towel rail could not be turned on,it was taped over at the socket. We would have not abused the use of this, it was simply that we wanted to dry damp towels. We did mention these issues to a member of staff at the Dartmouth office but she was rude and inferred that the owners may have not wanted the towel rail to be used. Her customer service left much to be desired. This property is in an incredible position and deserves to have tlc not to be neglected. It was however spotlessly clean . Having said all of this we have booked to visit next year.
