We had a lovely holiday here. Perfect location. Beautiful views across the river – loved watching the ferry go back and forth! The house is a very short walk into the centre of Dartmouth to access all the shops and amenities. There is a fabulous pub right next door which was welcoming and a lovely spot for food and drink. The house accomodated 6 of us comfortably and had everything we needed. Would recommend this pr…

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.

If you want a truly special experience, book this house. From the moment you enter, you’re met with the most spectacular views of Dartmouth and the river.

Paul was great at responding to any questions we had and we would definitely b…

Location was directly on a wonderful championship golf course and excellent value as well as a spa, pool, tennis court and gym all on site. The gym and pool were free for all guests in the lodge and the spa was 25%…

“We have stayed in Boathouse Cottage several times and really can’t fault it. The accommodation is spacious, clean and perfectly located for the beach. The beach view from the upstairs window is amazing. The pub is a 2 min walk away and a farm shop is also within walking distance. We have never had any issues but someone is easy to contact should any arise. We would thoroughly recommend Boathouse Cottage, and …

“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”

Great flat with all necessary amenities and a fully equipped kitchen. Fantastic location. The only issue is the parking, which I gather is not the owner’s fault but is a real issue to work around.
