Sandridge Boathouse

Nice staff on site and clean Been before and advised repeat but no discount?

We had a wonderful stay everything in the Boathouse was perfect.

Ty was extremely helpful. We did stay in the main house with our family a few years ago and had a wonderful time, love the house. Just cannot say enough really. Very happy.

We stayed at the Boathouse for 1 week.

Light, clean, welcoming and idyllic is how I would describe it. The weather was beautiful and only added to charm of the place. The setting is just amazing along with the wild life. The local area is just as stunning and we enjoyed learning some history and visiting new places. Dartmouth is a lovely local town and great place for fresh fish and chips on a sunny day. Dartmoor national park is also on the doorstep and is another special place, well worth a visit. It's safe to say, we will be back again next year! Dean

The boathouse is idyllic!

We loved every moment of our stay - so much so that we've already booked our 2nd visit for next Summer! 'Extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, with everything we needed. The location is breathtaking - total seclusion - we loved some days sitting on the balcony in the sunshine, just taking in the view. The walk through the fields and woods to get there was beautiful. Only a short walk to the wine tasting - highly recommend! Ty was fantastic - very friendly and helpful! Thank you, we can't wait to be back!

Lovely cottage, view was exceptional Really quiet.

Lots of wildlife Ty was very helpful On a personal note, I would have liked a more comfortable chair for the veranda

A much needed break and the boathouse did not disappoint.

It is a truly special place and we are happy to recommend the Boathouse if you want a real break away from it all, and watch the world go by!

Wonderful location with amazing views and wonderful wildlife.

Plenty to see and do in the area. Ty could not have been more friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again

This boathouse is an absolute gem.

If you are looking for a total escape from the madness of everyday life and some glorious views of the river, then this is the place for you. Every afternoon a seal popped up to say hello and we saw numerous water birds every day and even watched a crow one afternoon flying up in the air and dropping oysters from quite a height to smash the shells so he could eat them. Very clever. We couldn't fault this place in any way.

Very nice property and so well cared for as well as the team on the site who were so helpful - ThanksTy.

Great location, very peaceful and helpful estate staff.

An exceptional property, a real escape from it all, perfect to unwind and recharge your batteries.

We’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic location- must be fit to get to it though!

Property is very secluded and equipped to a very high standard.

We had never returned anywhere before, but are now looking to book our 3rd visit. It's a delightful 'get away from it all' dream cottage where you can watch the boats go by with a large glass of something.

Beautiful boathouse in a stunning location.

We have returned many times now and intend visiting again as soon as possible. The recent upgrades are fab, especially the WiFi for the Smart tv, although you’ll be too busy simply watching the river to care. Just be aware that it’s a short walk from the car to the boathouse ( Luggage is transferred) but its well worth the minor inconvenience. I’d also suggest taking some groceries with you, at least for your first evening.

A great place and we have been going for over 10 years now, but really shocked you have put the price up by 30% in the week we normally go (for 2022)!

30% price hike!? That is crazy

It needs to be clearer on the instructions that you park at the farm and walk though a field, through the woodland and then down 71 steps.

It takes approx. 13 minutes to get from the car to the house. We loved that, but many others may not be aware and might not be quite so enthusiastic! The kettle was very temperamental and probably needs replacing. Aside from that the house was absolutely perfect.

A real home from home, and more.

'The pre-booked' Sunday morning sailing regatta was great entertainment!. Really appreciated the extra mile our hosts went to. From the entrance via the vineyard, to the tame hello from the beautiful cattle, the visit from the seal, and impeccable weather. A real pick me up after having to defer our visit from May. (Thanks to Ty for his discreet yet readily available help too). We went home significantly fitter than we arrived due to the (stunning) daily walk to and from the car. We never book to return to a property, we have now. Fantastic property, superb location, excellent surroundings. (Just don't tell anyone, as it's our secret !).

A delightful secluded place to stay

This was our second stay at the boathouse, and as before, we had a very enjoyable and relaxing week, exploring the river and surrounding estate walks.

Ty, was very helpful in taking our trailer and canoes to and from the boathouse. We strongly recommend this holiday let, even with the 75 steps, because of the peace and quiet, wildlife and views including our daily visit from the seal.

Incredibly relaxing, superb location.

It really is as nice as the pictures, if not nicer ! With hindsight it was probably worth considering hiring a boat and it would be useful if that kind of information was more readily available. Given the fact 2020 is a strange year with Covid-19 we were impressed with the thought given to preparing the property and the kind and helpful advice/service by given Ty.

Once again, we had a peaceful week in this beautiful boathouse, enjoying the stunning location.

Although the boathouse is secluded there is always something happening, from the various species of wildlife to the boats and canoes on the river.

Our children aged 12 & 13 were never bored and always found something to occupy their time, we took laptops etc but didn't use them ( the wifi isn't the best ). At low tide we would go off exploring and enjoyed some lovely walks , high tide could never come soon enough for the kids, they loved crabbing off the mooring. Everything we needed from supermarkets to days out was within a 15 minute drive, Brixham harbour was a lovely place to visit. My husband chose to drive down to the steps instead of parking at the designated spot, he had no problems doing this in decent conditions and if we had got stuck Charlie would have been on hand to tow us out. The boathouse is a hidden gem! We were blown away and have rebooked for next year.

Absolutely beautiful setting.

It’s a bit of a treck back to the car, if you want to go out, but we are always happy to just stay put at the beautiful boathouse and watch the world of the River Dart go by. Perfect !

Fantastic accommodation, beautiful setting, but should warn people you do need a 4x4 if you are not that mobile.

The cottage is an amazing place to spend a week.

We have already booked for a return visit.

Fabulous location with excellent accommodation.

Clarification needs to be made regarding accessibility as holiday makers need to understand that it is not a case of being able to park near the boathouse there is a hilly walk involved and luggage needs to be brought down by the farm manager.

If you like peace, quiet and tranquility, watching the changes in the river and the wild life, jumping salmon, trout and the eating frenzy when the little fish are forced to the surface, this is the place for you.

The boathouse is well appointed, clean. Walks around the estate (working farm) including a vine yard and oyster farm (low tide) added to the experience. Charlie and Becky were excellent hosts, thank you.

Amazing place, loved every minute!

The holiday was fantastic, lovely views, starry skies.

Wonderful location. The only comments we have is that the hobb is not very user friendly, lots of grumbling and puffing to try and get it to work. Suggestion would be to have a simpler hobb that is idiot proof. Would be a nice idea to have a astrological telescope as the night skies were amazing. We have already booked again for next year.
