Lovely accommodation with high spec, i.e bedding was super quality. Fully equipped and as described. Close to plenty of great places to visit but a little out of the way to be nice and peaceful to return to. Highly recommended

We stayed at the Boathouse in August 2026 and it was the perfect place to get away to this summer with two boys who love all things beach, swimming, rock climbing and skimming related. The beach on our doorstep was all we needed as the weather played ball all week. The views from the living room were stunning and being able to hear the waves from bed was an added extra. We were even lucky to see Sinbad the seal on a…

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.

Access to Netflix etc and a PS4. Even the hair…

This place is incredible. Don’t be put off by the location and the country lanes. It is well worth it. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing place I’ve ever stayed, and is so well decorated and furnished. Lovely touches including a bottle of wine on arrival!

A great home, well suited to families. We were 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and had loads of space. The garden is huge and fantastic to play around, there is also a BBQ to use and lots of board games plus the table tennis table to keep everyone entertained on rainy days. Longish walk to the beach but great location close to both Thurlestone and Batham Beaches.

We absolutely loved the Captains Cabin! We would definitely stay again. It was so quirky and the views were fantastic from the balcony! Paul was really responsive every time we pinged a message over… couldn’t fault him at all. We will and already have recommended the Captains Cabin to our friends and family!
