“We felt the lounge furniture was uncomfortable and could do with updating.”

Bed was also quite hard.

“I’m still waiting for a reply to my complaint.”

There is a serious damp problem at the boathouse. I emailed on the first day and we stayed for 2 weeks and still haven’t had this resolved. Because of the condition of the property it is no way worth the cost.

“Appreciated sofa throws being provided by Coast & Country staff after we raised concerns about the state of the 2 lounge sofas.”

Condition of outside area/balcony was very poor (not withstanding the stunning views). There is a damp smell in the kitchen area which may need attention. Given it was a self catering accommodation, no space was given for guests to put their own food - all cupboards were jam packed full of owners ‘stuff’. The hallway runner was curled up and a trip hazard and needs replacing. The neighbours very politely pointed out that there is no parking available outside the Boathouse garage as this restricts access to their property? Overall, we enjoyed our holiday at the Boathouse and these comments are hopefully constructive.

“The Boathouse is definitely worth a visit.”

The view over the River Dart is exceptional, we did not want to leave. It was really home from, relaxing and comfortable. The house has everything you need and more, I don’t think it really sells it’s self. The walk to the property from town is definitely cardiac hill but allows you that extra cake or wine. Dartmouth it’s self and all near by villages are worth a visit. We totally enjoyed our holiday and would recommend the Boathouse. Thank you for letting us enjoy this lovely home.

“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. 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.

“Great spot and absolutely gorgeous views!”

Very well presented and would happily return. Only downside was no WiFi!

“We just loved this place!”

The view was amazing and the outdoor space a real joy to experience. The location was perfect. A few minutes walk and you are in the heart of Dartmouth. The walk up the hill kept us fit as did a run along the river. The apartment itself was great. My little one loved the piano and managed to learn a tune while we were there. The kitchen had everything you could think of which was amazing because we do cook when we are away. The iron was missing but was replaced within the hour. It was Regatta week, so lots going on to keep us entertained in Dartmouth. The outdoor pool, minutes away from the house, was a good find as was a trip to Blackpool Sands and South Sands beach in Salcombe. There was so much more around to do that we didn't get around to, but I won't fret because this is definitely a place we plan to return to!

Mr Jeffs July 2019

“Beautiful setting with magnificent views of the town and harbour.”

I even began to enjoy the walk up the hill

- Mr Jeffs, July 2019
Mrs Potter June 2019

“We really enjoyed our holiday in Dartmouth and the apartment was really nice.”

The terrace in particular was a fabulous extra with the stunning views over the Dart. The only negative point was the lack of Broadband. Neither my husband or I are particularly concerned about being online all the time, but we really missed not being able to find out information about the area - it's history and it's walks and outings. We used the tourist centre but it was quite frustrating not being able to look things up .

“Lovely accommodation with everything you could need and a fantastic view to go with it !”

! The hill is a bit of a challenge but good to have parking alongside.

- Mrs Brewer, June 2019
Mr G Goor Jul 2018

“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, Jul 2018

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
