About this property

The Boathouse is a white building sitting right on the water's edge in Kingsbridge, a curved balcony wrapping the front seen from the quayside.

An open-plan white kitchen

The kitchen is open-plan and white-fitted, a wood worktop and dining table set close to the water. A white staircase and hallway lead through the building, a colourful abstract print marking the way up past a desk and seating area set aside for working from the room.

Two bedrooms sleeping four

Two bedrooms sleep up to four, each with a private ensuite bathroom fitted with a shower, the living areas arranged to take advantage of the interconnecting rooms and the water views from almost every window.

A terrace over the river

A terrace table is set with tea and cakes overlooking the river, and a second dining spot on the decking sits beneath a striped awning, catching sunset over the estuary with a glass of champagne beside a potted succulent.

Boats moored on the still river

Small boats sit moored on the still river beneath wooded banks, a model boat is propped on a windowsill among river and field views, and a sailing boat stands silhouetted against the sunset.

A five-star boathouse for a couple or small family

With two bedrooms and a terrace right on the water, The Boathouse suits a couple or small family wanting a waterside base in Kingsbridge, the open-plan kitchen and dishwasher covering the everyday practicalities and parking close at hand for the drive down each time.

Guests consistently mention

  • Position is the dominant theme and went unchallenged in our sample.

    Raised in 15 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly positive

  • Outside space is raised more often than typical locally, and mostly well.

    Raised in 7 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly positive

Worth knowing before you book

  • Every mention of noise in our sample was critical, against a town where opinion on it is usually mixed. Worth asking about the position of the room if you sleep lightly.

    Raised in 4 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly critical

  • Parking drew criticism from everyone in our sample who raised it, above an already poor local norm.

    Raised in 4 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly critical

  • Service draws considerably more criticism here than at most places nearby, where the theme normally runs positive.

    Raised in 6 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly critical

Themes are counted mechanically from the written reviews in our sample, then described in our own words. A theme missing from either column simply did not recur often enough to report — it is not a verdict either way.
