The boathouse is a delightful property in a beautiful location
I grew up in the Kingsbridge area so we really enjoyed visiting old haunts and seeing old school friends. My only comment would be that the boathouse is at the top of a steep flight of steps which my husband who has difficulty walking found difficult. I do not recall this being mentioned though I may be wrong. Anyway we managed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Boathouse, Kingsbridge
A perfect self-contained single bed annex situated in an ideal location to explore this lovely part of Devon. I can't think of anything that was lacking. The southern facing of the property and its small associated yard is ideal for catching the sunshine. Highly recommended.

Lovely clean property and lovely owners.
Beautifully appointed and clean. The parking was quite challenging and stressful as the property is positioned on a very busy main road and on a bend. The property was spotless and of a high standard and with lovely approachable hosts.

Wonderful property in a beautiful location.
Very inviting property which impressed us immediately. Spotlessly clean, beautiful and modern interior of the boathouse with off street parking and total privacy both inside and on the terrace. Location is ideal for visiting the beautiful South Hams area of Devon. The hosts Rob and Fleur are delightful and had provided everything one could wish for to ensure our holiday was a success. To top it all it was sunny every day! Chris and Christine. May 2022.

Lovely bright and airy property.
As always with vrbo the booking and management of the property was stress free. Communication with property owner was prompt. Description of the beach house was exactly as documented. Very well equipped, light and comfortable. Perfect for a short or longer stay. Good bus and boat links to many local places to visit.

A Hidden Gem
My partner and I had an amazing stay at the Boathouse from start to finish. We like to say a big thanks to Fleur for the excellent communications leading up our stay - she was super information and made the check in process and real breeze. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully designed. It’s the perfect size for a couple and comes with an awesome kitchen and all the utensils you could ask for, plus dishwasher and awesome oven. The bathroom had a great walk in shower and a sky light and the bedroom comes with a decent size wardrobe and a modern tv with Netflix etc (as does the living room). The highlight for me was the premium BBQ on the wooden terrace! The properly is about 15 mins on foot from Kingsbridge and on route you’ll pass the rather nice Crab Shell pub restaurant. If you’re looking for a home from home whilst visiting Devon then I highly recommend the Boat House :) Thanks Fleur and Rob for a lovely stay!

The property was clean and in really good condition, with everything you might need - including lots of pans, utensils etc for cooking. It was also really light and airy with large south facing windows with estuary views. The location was very handy to access many of the beautiful local beaches and coastal paths.
