Kingswear Castle

This bewitching artillery fort, built 1502, is now a one-bedroom, 2-room historic hideaway.

Interiors are contemporary, with all the home comforts you’d expect, but sufficient original features remain – from thick stone walls, low, beamed ceilings and passageways to bedrooms, to evoke the sense of history.

The bedroom is on the ground floor, the living room is on the upper floor, and there’s a roof terrace with lovely views across the estuary to Dartmouth Castle.
