• "Fantastic apartment in the heart of Dartmouth."

  Views were amazing, so well equipped and thought out. We love to walk and explore during the day and loved coming back to this apartment, cosy and homely. Hosts were excellent, thank you for the special treats. We are very fond of Dartmouth and this apartment will definitely be the one we return to.

  Can’t wait to welcome you back again so you can enjoy more of Dartmouth and Kings View. G&H (owners) Property Owner

• "So glad we chose this lovely apartment for our four night November break."

  Immaculately clean, modern fixtures and fittings, warm and cosy. Fantastic far reaching views and everything is on your doorstep. This property is a credit to the owners who clearly go the extra mile to make their guests feel welcome, such as bottle of wine on arrival, milk , coffee, tea, scones , cream and jam! The only small thing missing is a smart TV, or dongle as no option to watch netflix etc, but that is a really minor detail. We hope to return in the future.

  Great feedback Richard, thanks so much. We have taken your advice and installed a Smart TV today so look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth and Netflix very soon. Cheers G&H (owners) Property Owner

• "Kings View is exactly as described, a beautiful apartment, immaculately presented in a wonderful position in Dartmouth."

  Nothing more to say other than a big thank you to G and H for the welcome and little extras !

  You are most welcome. We called the flat Kings View because it not only faces Kingswear across the river but the view is fit for a King so glad you could enjoy it. G&H Property Owner

• "Perfect location, wonderful views, very clean and well maintained."

  Lovely apartment, everything you need…. the only problem for us was the parking - especially when roads closed. I would highly recommend, such a lovely weekend stay. And a big thank you for the extra treats.

  Thanks for a great review and glad you had a lovely stay with us. Street parking in Dartmouth is limited unfortunately but hopefully you were able to use the free pass we provide for the main town car park 5 mins away. Look forward to welcoming you back again soon. G&H (owners) Property Owner

• "We have stayed at various properties in Dartmouth over the years and Kings View is without doubt the best by far."

  Wonderful location with that beautiful view. The property is really clean and attention has been paid to all the little details that made this so comfortable. Everything works! The beds are comfortable which is very important and the property is not damp! All information needed is clear and simple to follow . A lot of care and thought has been put into this property. Really well done and thank you! Until we cannot manage the outside steps we will keep trying to come back to Kings View!

  So glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for such lovely words. I see you have booked again already which is all we can ask. We have just started letting downstairs at Queens View if you do need ground floor access in the future. Details are with the same booking agent. Cheers G&H (owners) Property Owner

  We still love this amazing apartment with the best views over the river. The place is spotless and to a very high standard. It has everything you need. We met the owner and showed us toying Queens view downstairs which is just as amazing. We will definitely be going back next year.

  Great to hear you had another lovely stay with us and were impressed with downstairs too. We take pets at Queens View should you ever need a second place to stay. See you soon. G&H (owners) Property Owner

  Everything was spotlessly clean, and the apartment very well equipped to a high standard - including a very comfortable bed. We appreciated the bottle of wine and scones & clotted cream which greeted us on arrival. Definitely on the shortlist for a further stay next time we venture to the West Country.

• "We loved Kings View."

  The view of the river and the ferries is very good. The beds are very comfortable and so is the big sofa. Loved the dining table and chairs, great design and very comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean, a very rare occurrence. It was easy to keep warm too. Gary, our host responded very quickly to a couple of minor niggles.

  So glad you enjoyed the apartment and particularly the view. We hope to welcome you back again one day and have now signed up to the agents lock box entry method instead of office key collection as suggested. Property Owner

• "Great view, immaculately clean and well equipped."

  Plenty of local information and instructions about all the elements of the apartment which were very helpful. Only slight negative is the steel staircase to the front is difficult to navigate and get your luggage up.

  Thanks for your constructive comments and great feedback. We weren’t in charge of the property conversion back in the 80’s but hopefully the amazing river views make up for the steps outside. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner

  Apartment well maintained and very clean. Comfy beds, brilliant views over the lower ferry on the river Dart. Very convenient for access to the town and many walks to places like Dittisham, Blackpool Sands and Greenway.

  Great you were able to combine some river watching from the window with trips to the local area. Sounds like the perfect break and hope we will see you back with us soon. G&H (Kings View owners) Property Owner

  It’s a fantastic property with spectacular views and furnished to a very high standard. The mattress in the master bedroom wasn’t to our liking (too soft) but it must be hard to find one mattress to suit everyone.

  Let’s start of by saying the view is fantastic over the river Dart. Spent lots of time just looking out the window watching the world go by. The place is spotless, nicely furnished and equipped with all necessary items you need. The only issue and it’s a small one is the kitchen tap is leaking

  So glad you had a fantastic time at Kings View and thanks for the heads up on the tap which has now been fixed. Property Owner

• "This was our second stay at 'Kings View'."

  We just stayed a week last year, but loved it so much, that we have just returned home from a 3 week stay, and we absolutely loved it! So totally relaxing, everything is at the apartment that you could possibly need, spotlessly clean, and the view is simply fabulous!! We had some stunning yachts come past the window during our stay, so much to see on the river Dart. Helena & Gary are the perfect hosts if you need anything at all, nothing is too much trouble :-) We hope to be back again next year...

• "Unfortunately for a flat of this calibre the bedding was really hard and scratchy but worse had been washed in very over perfumed powder to the extent that I had an asthma attack."

  We decamped to the lounge on the sofa bed that wasn’t affected. We wrote a long letter to the owner , we had to buy new bedding (very cheaply) from Tesco but mattresses were really powerful. We asked family to come and check out and they thought it was a horrendous smell. Heard nothing from the owner and feel very disappointed by this response as they specifically asked for honest feedback.

  Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in what we have created at Kings View and believe other guest’s comments, on this site, support that so we were extremely concerned to hear of your experience. Unfortunately we were only made aware of your complaint after you had vacated the property. After speaking with the agent we called you immediately, leaving a voice message to return the call, but only got a text back the following day which we responded to that afternoon. The agents manned office, where you collected your keys, was only 5 minutes walk away, their emergency contact number was clearly visible in the property and our own personal mobile was written down in the information manual so perhaps these options might have been worth considering first before buying new sheets. As for your reaction to the bedding we were obviously mortified to hear this especially as we personally wash everything in a non-bio powder but, as a matter of course, we will review all the products used in the apartment. We can only apologise that the Kings View experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion and would like to wish you a healthy and happy start to 2023. Property Owner

• "We have stayed at Kings View before and, yet again, we were totally impressed ."

  For us it is the perfect holiday property......immaculately clean, well presented and very comfortable, with the most amazing views ( and on this occasion, brilliant weather). We came home vowing to return once more next year. However, sadly, this is unlikely to happen!!!!? We looked at next year’s prices and were totally horrified and disappointed. We had expected prices to rise due to extra costs etc but not by £300-£400 per week. We had a wonderful week in Dartmouth, as it is a place which we particularly love and never tire of visiting, but now feel upset and disappointed.

• "Whilst the apartment itself was fine, the booking process and collecting the key was not good."

  I had requested several enquiries about properties that week, however, your rep only received one. As my request was only for a 5 night booking with specific dates, we didn’t have much choice so went to book a property that seemed best for a family of 4. This was confirmed by the rep as being one that was the same price for the week. So we went ahead, booking a hotel to follow after our stay. However, the rep then came back to say that the owner was not able to take the booking after all. So very quickly we had to go with the next best option. I had told the rep that we could only arrive on Sat 19th October however, she still booked it from the 18th therefore Charging me for an extra night. I know that this property had flexibility on dates and took shorter bookings so this should not have gone ahead front he 18th but the 19th. I emailed her to ask her to contact me (as very difficult to get through on the phone) but received no phone call. Nor had any instructions been given to the Dartmouth office regarding picking up the key on the 19th therefore, when we arrived the office was closed and I had to make 3 phone calls, taking over an hour to get through to someone who gave me the key lock code. All very unnecessary and disappointing. Having booked with the co for over 12 years, this is the first time that we’ve had such issues, Furthermore, it was frustrating to talk to someone who does not know the Dartmouth area and had no understanding of how special a location it is, with lots of hills & nooks & crannies & special parking etc. The apartment itself was fine but not suitable for 4 people as the second bed is too small to fit 2.

• "Wow. A brilliant flat, ideally placed with breath taking views."

  We had a few reservations as, with an 8 month baby, we weren’t too sure if this was baby friendly. However, there were no issues at all and the place was baby safe (stair gates, travel cot, etc.) by the time we had arrived. Everything is close by and the car park was closer than we were told (about a 5 min gentle walk). Dartmouth was a beautiful place and we have already recommended this accommodation to friends and family. We already want to return!
