For us this was a perfect cottage in the perfect location. Quiet, with parking, yet close enough for the ferry over to Dartmouth. Well furnished, exceptionally clean, wonderful views and - very important for us - near the bottom of the hill on which Kingswear sits (we had to walk up that once before!). Could not fault this, and we plan to return soon.
