The cottage could not have been closer to the beach and had a homely feel about it. It was lovely to always hear the gentle sound of the sea lapping on the shore – very relaxing. The village has a great cafe and pub too.

Well appointment property which accurately matched the description and photos. It was clean and tidy and bright and modern. The property has amazing views of the harbour and Dartmouth Atwood the river. The steam train station is literally less than 5 minutes away and the steam trains can be seen chugging along from the property. I asked for a late checkout and Paul was very accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recomm…

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…

This was a brilliant find. Tracey the lovely owner also looks after the place, and does it to an immaculate standard. What really stood out was the thoughtful nature of everything provided. Really good quality kitchen equipment, with absolutely everything you would have in your own kitchen. Compact and clean bathrooms with complimentary abloutions. Decent storage space. Access to Netflix etc and a PS4. Even the hair…

Great place – the garage parking is a rare thing and the views from the property are perfect. From watching the ferries, to the weather coming in, you can spend hours sitting in the bay windows quite happily! A very short walk into town as well.

Had the most wonderful stay at Stargazy! Beautiful views, right near the beach, sitting on the balcony with the sun shining and just relaxing! The bar area outside was great fun too. The house has everything you need and all the little extra touches made it more homely. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend x

This apartment was in a great spot very near to all the shops and restaurants, but it was still a quiet street at night. The apartment was pristine and spacious, and had everything you would need, including the parking permit for the nearby car park. We had a great few days.

“We had a great stay at this lovely little apartment. Great location in the heart of town, walking distance to the train station and lots of restaurants, pubs, cafes, and shops nearby. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a short break. The bedroom was comfy and quiet, and the living/dining/kitchen area was a great place to relax and cook. The kitchen had a good range of appliances and…

The photo’s don’t quite match the listing – because, when you arrive the view is even more breathtaking than you can imagine. You simply can’t capture the beauty in a photograph. The house was gorgeous and being able to park safety in the garage was a real bonus. Wonderful views from all balconies and the patio meant we spent most of our time outside, but the home itself is fabulous too. Thanks for a great stay, non…
