Fantastic property, great views and wonderfully looked after. Had a really relaxing short break. Arrival instructions were perfect given the current road closure. Dartmouth is lovely with wonderful pubs, cafes and shops.

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing, yet convenient for getting out and about. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything very easy from…

Beautiful house and views. Stunning location just to relax and watch life on the River Dart, potter around historic Dartmouth or get out onto the coast path.

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. Paul himself was super helpful and friendly, and also very flexible when our car broke down and we didn’t know if we woul…

“Great location about 10 mins walk to centre of town with free parking. Very spacious house very clean and tidy and very nice welcome basket with M&S products. Relaxing terrace area to rear although quite a few steps up to reach but super views. Also a nice little seating area in the front garden just outside the house”.

We have just spent the most wonderful long weekend at Steppes. It is the most wonderful house with an amazing view which was perfect for a big family get together. Coffee on the deck in the morning sunshine, looking at everything going on in the harbour and the view out to see was just incredible. Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful house.

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.
