Stayed here with my whole family and was the perfect house for a weekend getaway for 8 – had the best views I’ve ever seen and we all had the best time here

Wonderful stay in this lovely house. Spectacular views, and so close to everything in the town. We loved not having to use cars (instead went by boat, walked the coastal path, swam and took one bus).

We had the best time at this place. It was exactly as described. Beautiful views, no issues. We had been to dartmouth before and was familiar with the area. The apartment is placed in a great location, short walk into town and parking was fine. Great pubs and restaurants within a short walk and beautiful beaches within a short drive. Will definitely stay again!

Lovely spacious central flat. Quality furnishings, comfortable and clean. The flat is very close to resturants shops and habour all short walking distance. The flat although on main road was very quiet and the bedroom suoer comfty. The bath was a lovely feature. We had a lovely weekend in Dartmouth and would totally recommend.

Great views. Well equipped. Comfy beds. Downside it’s on 4 floors with spiral stairs. Only 1 bedroom en-suite so the others tend to share 1 bathroom not ideal with 8 adults in the house. Water pressure not great. Needs black out curtains as rooms light at 5. Long trek to the kitchen from the road. Very narrow to get to the property. But we did have a good time.

We stayed at the Boathouse in August 2026 and it was the perfect place to get away to this summer with two boys who love all things beach, swimming, rock climbing and skimming related. The beach on our doorstep was all we needed as the weather played ball all week. The views from the living room were stunning and being able to hear the waves from bed was an added extra. We were even lucky to see Sinbad the seal on a…

We had a really lovely stay here. The place itself was great and had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a brilliant addition — especially in the evenings. It made the whole trip feel extra relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely week i n Lower Deck. It is a short stroll down into the town and a longer walk in the opposite direction to the castle and round the headland. We loved waking up to the views across the water and we managed the whole week without using our car, taking ferries and buses to visit Totnes, Brixham and Agatha Christie’s house, Greenway. Dartmouth has a lot of independent shops to indulge in and we ate out…
