Enjoy a relaxing group holiday at this stunning, maritime-inspired home featuring incredible views across the Dartmouth waterfront. This peaceful getaway provides everything you need for a fantastic retreat, including proximity to beaches, walks and a garden overlooking the bobbing fishing boats.

Inside the property, a light and airy nautical theme blends seamlessly with exposed beams and spectacular views, beckoning guests to slip into holiday mode. Gather in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has been decorated with soft furnishings and cosy touches for the ultimate stay. Your top chef will be impressed with the facilities in the kitchen when whipping up supper before serving it at the table overlooking the river. If you can tear yourself away from the views, guests can make use of the outside space, where you''re sure to enjoy a tipple and the sounds of the tide. Choose from three nautical bedrooms, including a twin, double and an en-suite king-size bedroom, where seaside tones and crisp linens flow through all. Enjoy your first cuppa of the day on the lawn while you watch the kids play.

Lace up your walking boots and stroll along the river''s edge to the maritime town of Dartmouth. Refresh yourself with a Devon cream tea at a cosy cafe, try crabbing off the pier, or dive into the town''s renowned watersports. Alternatively, explore Castle Cove (3 miles), where you can paddle the coastline aboard canoes. A visit to this special area wouldn''t be complete without discovering one of the most beautifully located fortresses, Dartmouth Castle (3 miles). Offering stunning views out to sea, this is a gorgeous spot for a picnic with the family.

The view from the lounge is stunning, and the sound of water lapping against the walls is very relaxing. The house is well appointed and that's a small shared garden (with river views) The two downsides are 1) the 50 or so steps between the house and the road (but it is Dartmouth and most houses have steps) and the amount of glass in the livingRead more room makes it pretty warm when the sun shines. There's 2 hours of parking on the road but there's also a permit to park in manor road car park which is a 10 to o 15 mom walk away. Hide

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Beacon Boathouse - a really special waterside location with panoramic views of the river Dart through exceptionally wide dual-aspect windows. We spent most of the week just staring out at the view and all the activity on the water, and have already booked our next visit!

This is a wonderful property within walking distance of the town. The views are spectacular and the property is well equipped. This is the perfect home from home in Dartmouth.
