Terrific Devonshire B&B with heart-stopping river views

This grand Edwardian townhouse has been converted into an outstanding family-run B&B, perched on a hill with heart-stopping views across the Dart estuary – one of the prettiest spots in Devon.

In Kingswear, right on the pretty Dart estuary.

Be Savvy

Rooms and suites
Four rooms

Special features

Rooms have kingsize beds and great views of the river and out to sea. Biscay has its own decked balcony, while Lundy sports a fresh floral look.

Also…
All rooms have Egyptian cotton bedding, feather pillows, TVs, CD players, radios, wi-fi internet and tea/coffee making facilities with home made biscuits. Bathrooms are stocked with fluffy robes, plenty of towels and L'Occitane goodies.

Pillow Talk
We snuggled down in Biscay, with its sunny shades and decked balcony – the perfect spot for a glass of bubbly.

Eat & Drink

Dining in
All meals at this luxury B&B are made to order – so the dinner menu changes daily according to what’s available locally and guests’ requests. Typical menus might include black bream grilled with garden herbs on creamed spinach, best end of local lamb simply roasted with rosemary and wild garlic and pan-fried diver scallops with pancetta and balsamic vinegar. Start your evening with drinks in the conservatory, soaking up the views.

Breakfast
Full breakfast is served until 9.30am or later on request. Get ready for scrumptious home smoked haddock with poached eggs, and scrambled egg with local smoked salmon. Freshly baked bread and fresh fruit salad round things off nicely.

Room service
No.

See & Do

See & Do
Start by exploring the River Dart along the riverside and coastal paths. Dartmouth and the medieval town of Totnes (you can travel there by boat) are good for shopping, while there are beaches at Slapton Sands. Well worth visiting are the art deco house of Coleton Fishacre, and Agatha Christie’s former home Greenway.

Boat lovers and painters flock here, as does seafood maestro, Rick Stein. Breezy coastal paths start almost from the front door, and you can set off with a tasty picnic lunch at the ready. Nonsuch House's friendly owners have been known to rescue those too tired to walk back, and can also arrange fishing and boating trips.

Spa
Guests can use Dart Marina Spa across the river – just the place for some exotic Elemis treatments or a facial.

Diary Dates

August
