The Quay Overview

The Quay is a cosy gem nestled right on Dartmouth’s sparkling waterfront, offering a warm and luxury space that’s just perfect for two. This charming bolthole combines nautical flair with a relaxed, homely touch, making it a dreamy hideaway for couples looking to slow down and savour the best of coastal life.

Step inside, and upstairs you’ll find a beautifully open-plan living area with large windows framing incredible estuary views. The lounge invites you to settle down in front of the wood burner with a glass of wine, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen is well-equipped, so you can whip up a leisurely brunch to enjoy at the dining nook or out on the sunny terrace with your own bistro table for two (accessed via the bedroom). Here, you can sit back, watch the boats go by, and soak up the beauty of the river as the sun dances on the water.

The ground floor features the light-filled bedroom dressed in soft linens and calming hues, complete with a plush king-size bed for the ultimate night’s sleep after a day exploring this incredible coastline. A stylish en-suite bathroom with a bath tub of dreams adds a touch of luxury, creating a peaceful haven to unwind with that well earned glass of local Sharpham wine before heading out for supper in one of the many acclaimed restaurants over the water.

The Quay is the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience, allowing you to dip into the best of Dartmouth life while retreating to your own waterside sanctuary watching the world go by.

We had a lovely holiday in Kingswear and the location of the Quay definitely contributed significantly to our enjoyment. The view was wonderful and the easy access to the ferries and local pubs and cafes were exactly what we were hoping for and did not disappoint. We have already recommended the Quay to friends who usually stay in Dartmouth. Your brochure is an excellent reflection of the property and we will definitely start with your properties when we next consider a holiday in Devon.

Thank you we had a wonderful stay at The Quay. 5 stars! What a delightful property and location and views to die for from the lounge and bedroom. A real pleasure to relax and admire the views and boating activity on the Dart. We regularly saw grey and harbour seals on the dinghy pontoons within 30m of the property. Quiet and relaxing and beautifully fitted out and well equipped. Easy to get to Dartmouth on the Lower Ferry. Kingswear gets the sun in the afternoon. Spotlessly clean and secure. The property and location far exceeded our expectations. We will plan to come back for another week next year as lots more to explore and do in the area.

We had the most wonderful week at The Quay. A beautiful, stylish property with views to die for. We would love to return. So many small details had been thought of and the design of the property is stunning. 5 stars from us. The attention to detail was really appreciated and it genuinely was a 5 star stay.

5 stars for sure! We had the most wonderful stay. The Quay was just ‘wow’! Everything was perfect. The location was brilliant, so easy to pop on the ferry over to Dartmouth and the views from both the lounge and the bedroom were stunning. We could have sat all day watching what was happening on the water, boats, birds and even a seal. Beautiful neutral decoration, relaxing, smart and spotless clean. The welcome gifts were so thoughtful and made our trip to celebrate our anniversary feel extra special. The log burner was fantastic with lots of logs to keep us warm in the evenings.

I am very pleased to say that we had a wonderful holiday at The Quay. It truly is a very unique and special cottage, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated throughout, and with a position that would be very hard to beat. What we enjoyed the most was the fact that no matter which room you were in, you had the most spectacular views of the river Dart. We often sat just watching the boats sailing up and down the river. We did feel sad on Saturday morning when we didn't wake up to the view from the bedroom patio doors! I have no hesitation in giving The Quay 5 stars and will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

We had a wonderful stay at The Quay. The location is perfection and the apartment itself is pure luxury. Gated private parking is an added bonus, and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us upon our arrival. We can’t wait to come back.
July 2025
Beautiful property, location superb, the view from the upstairs bay window was breathtaking, parking felt very secure behind locked gates; pretty side garden to sit in plus the decking in the evening - enjoyed fabulous weather - so convenient for the lower ferry over to Dartmouth. All in all, a great holiday!

We had a wonderful time and really loved the accommodation. We appreciated the gift hamper and felt very welcome. The accommodation was beautifully presented as well. We saw seals on three occasions from our window, which was wonderful (a definite selling point!) The accommodation guidebook was clear and very helpful. The parking was very convenient. Generous supply of fuel for the burner. Lovely and cosy furnishings and setting. Fantastic location.
