What an amazing place, surpassed our expectations and this is the first time I have written that in a review. The accommodation was much bigger than expected and ideal for our group. The children and big adults loved the table tennis and darts board. Beds were comfy and it was stylish in the way it was kitted out. We loved it and highly recommend.

A great place to stay if you’re wanting to explore Dartmouth! Only a 10 minute walk down into the centre. Lovely and clean, a great view of Dartmouth on the decking, super spacious bedrooms. Lots of stairs to climb to get inside, although we had a 6 month old baby and 3 year old with us and managed just fine.

We had such a lovely time at this house. The setting is breathtaking. The location is great. We hiked to both beaches, and to the small cove that is not accessible by cars. Our kids had a blast. Highly recommend.

The flat was very clean and had everything we needed. Even an umbrella, which we used ! The bed was very comfortable too. Definitely a flat we would stay in again. We met Tracey the owner and she was a mind of helpful information on plac…

This house, unassuming from the outside, is located in a quiet neighborhood, but its interior is charming and pleasant. A small welcome pack with coffee was in the kitchen. The top terrace invites you to relax and unwind, with a lovely view of the harbour and early morning sun. The second terrace is perfect for breakfast. In cooler weather, it would be nicer to sit on cushions. The wooden chairs were a bit damp. Jus…

Lovely views, particularly liked the small roof top terrace. Well thought out accommodation with everything you need. Bedrooms are small with no wardrobe space in main bedroom. Space would be tight for 4 adults but a great place, with great views to stay for a couple. Steps to property are steep.

We loved the Boathouse and will definitely be returning! Beautiful location, the sea on the doorstep and lovely accommodation. Wished we could have stayed for longer, the pubs/restaurants are within walking distance and the food was amazing! My husband and son enjoyed sea swimming on several occasions then the 2 minute walk back to the accommodation was perfect! We enjoyed wine on the patio area and the view from th…

Fantastic host who was super responsive throughout our stay! The location couldn’t be beat, and the parking instructions for both day and night were spot on, really easy to follow. The beds were so comfy too. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be back.
