We throughly enjoyed our stay and the barn suited all our needs. Beds are comfortable with good quality bed linen. Great showers in both bathrooms again with good quality towels. Kitchen is well equipped too. It’s a fantastic location to walk to Blackpool Sands. The Green Dragon in the village is a very friendly pub serving delicious pizzas. Despite being close to the road it is very peaceful and quiet. Paul is a ve…

Great location, easy walk to everything in town and just a short walk from the car park. Really comfy and cosy. There was a bit of noise from the two local pubs but it didn’t really impact or bother us. Would happily return next time.

We absolutely LOVED this gem of a place. Tucked away right on the river estuary, we had an absolutely charming weekend away with the kids and the dog. The place is very easy to fall in love with – quirky and cosy, with the best location we’ve ever had from an Airbnb. The neighbours are very friendly and the pub is great. We are so glad we took a little boat with us, we explored up and down the river (there’s a small…

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…

Foredeck is in a stunning location, minutes away from the lovely shops and restaurants of Dartmouth. When we needed some help with the flat, Peter was very quick to respond. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This was a brilliant find. Tracey the lovely owner also looks after the place, and does it to an immaculate standard. What really stood out was the thoughtful nature of everything provided. Really good quality kitchen equipment, with absolutely everything you would have in your own kitchen. Compact and clean bathrooms with complimentary abloutions. Decent storage space. Access to Netflix etc and a PS4. Even the hair…

The house was amazing from the moment we got there and whilst the weather was a little interesting on day 1, it didn’t matter as we had a great place to relax in. Paul was awesome with clear instructions from the outset and checked in to make sure all was good. Cannot recommend it enough and will be looking at a return trip in the spring.
