Treetops-Kingswear

Nestled into the east bank of the River Dart is this beautiful, contemporary property in the historic village of Kingswear. Guests can enjoy river and countryside views from almost every room in the house. It is perfectly situated for walks on the South West Coast Path or sightseeing, shopping and entertaining all the family with a visit to Dartmouth, which is only a short ferry ride away. A 7-mile drive will bring you to the famous fishing town of Brixham, and the fantastic family attraction of Paignton Zoo is 8 miles away. If you don’t fancy driving, enjoy the thrills of the steam train from Kingswear to Paignton or purchase a Round Robin pass which allows you to explore the South Hams and Torbay by boat, train and bus. This really is the perfect retreat for families, friends, generations and walkers. 

On entering, take a moment to fully soak in the magnificent views of the River Dart and rolling fields from the large picture windows in this spacious room, come day or night. This open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge is equipped with NEFF appliances and a breakfast bar with two stools. A dining table takes centre stage with enough seating for all eight guests. Strategically placed to the right of the room are plush sofas overlooking the river, perfect for early risers to enjoy a peaceful morning watching the world wake up.
