“Very quirky and interesting place to stay, really nice location in the heart of Dartmouth. Alf Resco breakfast bar below was an amazing place to get a bite to eat as well. I would definitely recommend.”

Beautifully appointed and very comfortable house. A few snags such as missing blinds in two bedrooms and only one wine glass provided (which we advised host of and they said they would sort so hopefully ready for next guests). We would recommend ear plugs for light sleepers as there is a clock tower in the village which rings every 15minutes 24hrs a day. Host was very responsive and brought us torches when we had a …

“We have stayed in Boathouse Cottage several times and really can’t fault it. The accommodation is spacious, clean and perfectly located for the beach. The beach view from the upstairs window is amazing. The pub is a 2 min walk away and a farm shop is also within walking distance. We have never had any issues but someone is easy to contact should any arise. We would thoroughly recommend Boathouse Cottage, and …

Booked for a long family weekend (3 adult couples) and had a fabulous stay. The property is the perfect balance between a 10-15 minute walk into central Dartmouth and a nice, quiet location with spectacular riverside views towards Dartmouth harbour. Furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Paul’s communication and responsiveness, before and during our stay was flawless. Would 100% recommend!

The apartment is lovely; the lounge and both bedrooms all have views across the Dart, which I had not expected. One of the main reasons for choosing the apartment was for the view so it was a bonus to find that the three rooms all had this view. The apartment was also very spacious; both bedrooms, bathrooms, and the lounge are large, so it never felt crowded with four adults staying there. Dartmouth is wonderful pla…

We escaped to the beautiful 9 Riverside Wharf for a Mother’s Day weekend with kids ranging from 5-8, and parents in their 70’s. What a great time we had! The views of the apartment were amazing, and so well equipped! The walk to the ferry and into Dartmouth was the perfect length managed easily by age 5-75 . Highly reccommend this beautiful apartment for a coastal escape!! Thanks so much for helping us make great me…

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…

Very clean and comfortable accommodation for six of us, plus a dog. Looks exactly like the photos. Super peaceful surrounded by woodlands and private – even though there are eight lodges, you would never know as they are all obscured by trees. It’s very remote so you will find getting in and out using the single track lanes for 20 mins at the start and end of your daily journey potentially frustrating and you need t…
