My sister and I came with our two children for the half term. We wanted to get into the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth, without being in the middle. The house is in a great location, close to beaches/shops/local attractions. The house its self was perfect, plenty of space, well equipped and super cosy! We had three days of rain, so the added bonus of being able to use the pool with the children was great. Paul was o…

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…

Great little cabin. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Woke to bird song each day. Loved the log fire. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. It is a remote location and difficult to get about with the dreaded Devon lanes surrounding it, but if you want peace, you will find it here. Good luck finding the microwave and washing machine! It’s there….just not where you might expect!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely apartment. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and had a fantastic view — a perfect place to relax and enjoy Dartmouth. The host was excellent, keeping us well informed throughout and making everything easy from start to finish. We know Dartmouth well, so we were prepared for the parking challenges, so it wasn’t an issue for us as we parked out by Dartmouth Castle f…

“Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped – basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy – picturesque, panoramic, stunning.”

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in. Right from entering the appartment we felt at home – the nook in which the bed is is so cosy, the open kitchen makes it feel so homely. The views over the harbour are unbelievable, because you are so high up you feel like you are on top of the world. The interior is so cute and we especially loved the big table to work from. When they say private it really is priva…

“Absolutely amazing place – such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The Captain’s Cabin exceeded our expectations. The bonus was being able to go downstairs into Alf-Rescos cafe and have wonderful breakfasts from 7am – which meant we could set off early on our walks. I’d really recommend this place. It’s fabulous. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. A five star review from us and we can’t wait to go ba…
