An amazing place

By Badham and Jones - July 2023

An amazing place. Came for my 70th birthday, enjoyed every minute. Views are fabulous and the house wants for nothing. A special place, what a find. Hopefully we'll be back.

Lovely property in such a great position

By Miki and family on September 2021

Have just had a fabulous week with family staying at Kittiwake. The gorgeous house was very clean and well equipped and has amazing views from all the windows and the huge decked area, where we spent a lot of time watching all the activity on the river below.

It’s a steep climb up the hill to the house, but well worth it to stay in such a lovely property in such a great position.

Fantastic week spent in Kittiwake in Dartmouth

By Peter and family on August 2021

My wife, my two grown up children, my 74 year old aunt and myself have just returned from a fantastic week spent in Kittiwake in Dartmouth.

Communication with the owner was timely and uncomplicated. Relevant information was provided as required.Access to the house was speedy and we were emailed that the house was ready for us at about midday, which was helpful (rather than waiting until 4pm to check-in).

The house was easy to find using the instructions we were given.There was a parking pass for the town car park which was useful as parking near the house is in short supply. Fortunately we were able to drive to the house, empty the car, and then park up using the pass provided in the house.

Upper Town is, as it sounds, high up in the town. The plus side to this is that you have the best views in Dartmouth: the payment for the views is a walk up steep streets or many steps. That said, my aunt ( who has had arthritis for over 20 years ) managed the walk each day.

The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented ,and very well equipped with several fridges, dishwasher, freezer, washing machine etc... There were plenty of cups, sharp knives etc.. and a very good cooker and microwave. Wifi was quick and reliable and there were TV's available to use in most rooms, including the kitchen.

ALL 3 bedrooms, the lounge and the kitchen ( it was no hardship washing pots!) had amazing river/Kingswear views. We had the top room with the Velux windows. The room was great for us but would be tight for someone over 6 foot. There are 2 garden areas and plenty of sitting / lounging space. We tended to spend our time around the very large table on the decking.

The views from the decking area are amazing. We have stayed on Upper Town in about 5 houses over the last 14 years and i have no hesitation in saying that the views from the decking of Kittiwake are the best that we have had as Kingswear is directly ahead ,and you have a clear view of the castle and out to sea to your right.

We will be looking to book with Nicola again

A fantastic few days staying at Kittiwake

By Pete and Nicky on August 2021

A fantastic few days staying at Kittiwake. The house was absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated, well equipped and with brilliant views over the Dart estuary to Kingswear. A great location with a few minutes walk into the centre of Dartmouth. Having meals and drinks on the deck with those views was amazing. The included permit for the central carpark was really useful. We have already recommended Kittiwake to friends as a fabulous destination.

An amazing house well worth a visit

By Chris and Peter on June 2021

Our second visit to Kittiwake. It was a fabulous house before the renovations now it’s just absolutely amazing. Renovated to a very high standard and the decor is extremely tasteful. Facilities are top notch and everything you need is at hand. The new room in the attic has amazing views just as the decking and garden do. We could sit all day and watch the river and it’s traffic pass by. Shops and restaurants very close by with great recommendations from the owners. So glad we have already booked for the summer. An amazing house well worth a visit particularly as its in Dartmouth our new favourite place.

Wow, what a fabulous stay we had at Kittiwake in sunny Dartmouth

By John and Michelle on May 2021

Just love this house, walked through the door and stepped staight into holiday mode.

Lovely accommodation, all fully refurbished with great style and luxury touches, it's so beautifully presented.

The view from the decking area was simply breathtaking, right across the river you can just sit and watch as the ferries and boats go by.

It was a perfect stay and we will certainly go back.

Fabulous house with exceptional views

By 848christinec on 28th July 2020

We have just spent a week at this amazing house. It is beautifully presented with all necessary amenities required for a week. The house was set up for covid very well. Beds very comfortable and rooms spacious and plenty of storage. The outdoor decking is a gem with amazing views of the estuary. Easy to just sit on the deck or in lounge and just enjoy the view. The location to town is great with restaurants and shops nearby just the steps to contend with on the way back. Plenty of walks nearby and once car is parked courtesy of pass in town you can just enjoy your break car free. A fabulous house would definitely recommend.

Kittiwake is a very lovely cottage with stunning views

By Anne on 3rd October 2019

Kittiwake is a very lovely cottage with stunning views. Shame no parking outside/near property as even though have car parking permit, means you have to carry shopping etc up about 90 steps!! Road outside Kittiwake is extremely narrow. Plenty to do in Dartmouth and would recommend The Dolphin pub near the market for Sunday Roast and Taylors for a special meal. Could not fault the cottage, unless possible to include somewhere a second wc. Very high standard of fixtures and fittings and very comfortable beds. Very well equipped kitchen, but needs kitchen scissors. Would definitely stay again and would also recommend it very highly.
