A lovely spacious townhouse for our family group of five, with everything we wanted for a break. For outside space there’s a pretty seating spot under a Gingko tree outside the open plan kitchen / dinning room and up steps at the rear of the house is a sun trap terrace with views over the town. A big advantage is having a parking space in Dartmouth, as we understood walking around this very pretty coastal town of ho…

Great communication from the host and the house it’s fantastic. The location is brilliant and the views don’t get any better – we could’ve looked out all day. Would absolutely recommend staying here if you’re planning a trip to Dartmouth.

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was perfect for a long weekend in Devon. Literally 8 min drive outside of Dartmouth. The kids particularly loved the hot tub after spending the day out exploring. Thank you so much for having us!

Nice place, comfortable. Only negative was that the hot tub wasn’t included in the price and this made us feel the accommodation was slight over priced. Unfortunately we didn’t realise it was extra cost as we booked before reading the entire passage on the property.

“We had an excellent week in Lower Deck. The cottage provided everything we needed. It is furnished to a high standard and well equipped. The beginning of town is around 5 mins and a little over 10 to the centre. Parking is always an issue in Dartmouth but doesn’t spoil another great week.”

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…

We’ve just completed a 21-day stay at 9 Riverside Wharf, and it truly stole our hearts. The place was beautifully prepared with thoughtful details that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, all the fatigue of the journey faded away — it felt like a peaceful haven for our family. We’re so grateful for the warmth and care that welcomed us. Thank you for making us feel at home.

One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in, great location, no real traffic noise at night and an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. A parking permit for the main car park in Dartmouth was provided by Paul which was much appreciated.

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—helpful, and quick to respond, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It’s i…
