“A beautiful little cottage to stay in with fantastic views from the living room.”

The accommodation is described as on a steep and narrow road, I was aware of this and checked on Google Earth/maps etc to see what it was like and didn't think it would be a problem. When we arrived I couldn't believe how steep the hill was (33% increase), and I had to stop on the hill as there was a car reversing out of the garage further up, as well as a car behind me.

The accommodation is described as on a steep and narrow road, I was aware of this and checked on Google Earth/maps etc to see what it was like and didn't think it would be a problem. When we arrived I couldn't believe how steep the hill was (33% increase), and I had to stop on the hill as there was a car reversing out of the garage further up, as well as a car behind me. It wasn't the best experience and unfortunately shook me up which prevented us from venturing out in the car for the time we had at the Boat House. I am not a nervous driver but this was scary therefore I would not recommend the drive up to the cottage to a nervous/new driver. If you/the kids like watching Netflix/YouTube etc I would advise taking your own iPad/phone to watch this on as unfortunately there isn't a smart TV so it is very basic channels in the living room. Although there isn't Wifi so you must be able to hotspot your own connection. The pots and pans were dirty when we arrived, however in the current circumstances I washed everything up before using it anyway. Dartmouth is stunning, especially on a sunny day. A wonderful place to visit overall.

“The cottage lacked some essentials.”

1. There wasn't a welcome pack, when travelled a long way, it is a good gesture to provide tea and coffee, and some milk, even Travellodge provide tea and coffee. 2. There wasn't a grill pan. 3. Only one poor quality bin bag, no kitchen roll, and only 2 toilet rolls provided.

- Mr G Goor,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback in respect of your recent stay at The Boathouse. All of our self catering properties are offered with the benefit of a 'starter pack' of cleaning basics, together with at least one toilet roll per bathroom and every bin should have a liner. Some owners do provide 'welcome packs' for guests and we will continue to encourage other owners in this respect. We do apologise that some of the basics were not provided for your arrival. If you had kindly advised us of the various missing items during your stay, we would have been happy to have attended and rectified. Owner relations

“Excellent property.”

Comfortable, very well presented and clean. Everything we needed while staying was provided. The view over Dartmouth was stunning. The outside terrace was also lovely with garden furniture available. It was an amazing place. The steep walk up to the place was quite a fitness challenge! A wide car may also have difficulty along the narrow road leading up too.

“Love this property have stayed here a few times now, it is extremely well equipped , clean ,and spacious, with added bonus of parking space.”

The picture window provides excellent views over Dartmouth even on dismal days your spirits arn't dampened, The walk from the town can prove to be challenging at the beginning of your stay, but as the week progresses it gets much easier! I have to say I've missed this since arriving home!

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Please note the house is situated towards the top of Crowther's Hill. (Steep and narrow access road). The parking space is suitable for a small to medium car. Please note there is no WiFi at the property. All bed linen and bath/hand towels are supplied. You will need to bring your own tea towels beach towels and oven gloves
