“Very nice stay. Place was lovely and clean, instructions from Paul were easy to enter and leave property On a quiet road about 15 minute walk from the town, going in is easy as its downhill back is a bit harder as it eventually becomes quite steep. If you dont want to walk the number 90 bus will take you up the hill from the center for £2 per adult! If your reasonably fit though its fine to walk. Garden is on a ste…

Lovely stay at Galions. The views are incredible, the beds super comfortable, and the location ideal – an easy walk into Dartmouth and very close to the castle and castle to town ferry. Would happily stay again.

myself, my husband, 2 children and our dog have just returned from a wonderful week at The Boathouse. The accommodation itself is exactly as described, if anything I would say it feels more spacious that the photos suggest. The location can’t be beaten, with the sea literally a stones throw away.

Incredible views. Steps to the beach are a stones throw away, it was the perfect location for our beach and sea loving family. We will be back without the kids next time!

Pictures are accurate. Lovely 20 minute walk down to Blackpool Sands. Green Dragon pub in the village did excellent food. Tight entrance to get into parking spaces. Very close to Dartmouth. A really enjoyable few days away for our family.

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

Great place to stay to explore Dartmouth and the whole of south hams. Hot tub is a great addition and golfers wandering by provided entertainment all day long! Can reccomend the Sportsmans arms for dinner and the old inn, also worth going to Dittisham and getting the ferry over to greenway! Fantastic stay and would come again!

We had a lovely stay in Dartmouth. A beautiful house in the perfect location to walk into town or for a swim at Sugary Cove. A quick bus ride to Blackpool Sands beach too! Paul was a responsive host who quickly answered any of our queries.
