Escape to a serene riverside haven with this charming one-bedroom Boathouse, nestled in the picturesque village of Dittisham, on the banks of Dittisham Mill Creek some hundred meters off the stunning River Dart. Perfectly designed for couples or solo travellers, this peaceful fully sustainable boutique retreat, offers the ultimate combination of comfort, tranquility, and breathtaking waterside views.
The main house including the boathouse is also available book between June-August.

The Space
Step inside this cozy boathouse and feel instantly at home. The open-plan living area is filled with natural light with the large sliding doors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Curl up on the sofa by the log burner, enjoying the flickering flames as you take in the panoramic views of the water right outside your window. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or unwinding after a day of exploring, the ever-changing river vista is sure to captivate you.
The compact yet well-equipped kitchen allows you to prepare everything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner. When the weather is fine, step outside to your private balcony and enjoy al fresco dining with the soothing sounds of the river.
Ascend the 'ships steps' up into the snug mezzanine double bed and enjoy a restful nights sleep.

Watch the boats drift by, birds swoop overhead, or simply enjoy the tranquil atmosphere as you sip a glass of wine at sunset.

Other things to note
The Boathouse is situated at the bottom of the garden of the owners residence. You are able to park one car at the property and have your own access with a pathway leading down to the Boathouse. A torch is suggested during the evening to aid access.
The main garden is for use by the main house in which is lived in most of the time. If the owners are present they will try not to intrude but you may see them coming and going, messing about on the creek or cutting the grass.
The Boathouse has a ship's staircase which is more than a ship's ladder and less than a standard staircase with the access closed off by shutting a hatch once you are in the bedroom area. Alternatively there is a bed settee in the lounge that can be used instead.
There is a 5 Pin tethered EV charger that guests can use for an additional supplement at the time of booking.
Getting around
No buses serve Dittisham so you will either need a car, bike, catch a ferry or walk to get around the area.
Taxis and e-taxis are also available as well as hiring e-bikes from e-Xplore Devon based in Kingsbridge
The Neighbourhood
Nestled on the banks of the stunning River Dart, Dittisham is a picturesque village in South Devon that offers a peaceful and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Often described as one of the most charming and tranquil spots on the river, Dittisham combines natural beauty with a strong sense of community and history.
The village boasts a couple of excellent pubs, including the renowned Ferry Boat Inn which sits right by the river and serves delicious local food, ales, and a welcoming atmosphere.
From the jetty by the FBI you can catch a ferry down to Dartmouth or across to Greenway Quay and Greenway Estate, the home of the late Agatha Christie.
The historic naval town of Dartmouth is a 10 minute drive away where the Britannia Royal Naval College stands proudly overlooking the town. Stroll along the embankment of the River Dart to discover a plethora of boutique shops and galleries, an Elizabethan butterwalk, and countless fantastic restaurants and pubs. On site at the Dart Marina Hotel you have the benefit of the newly opened Zephyr restaurant offering bistro style classics and lite bites or book a 'Gaia' treatment at the Wellbeing Spa.
As well as its scenic estuary, Dartmouth gives access to some superb coastal and country landscapes nearby, sitting as it does on the South West Coast Path. At the mouth of the River Dart you have Dartmouth Castle with the SWCP leading to a number of small bathing coves. On the opposite side is Kingswear and from here you can access the National Trust estate of Coleton Fishacre, an Arts and Crafts-style house with an art deco interior, built in the 1920s for Rupert D'Oyly Carte, son of impresario Richard. The grounds are a gardener's delight, incorporating woodland and sub-tropical species and paths leading out to the cliff edge.
The Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company operates a wonderfully nostalgic service, which runs from Kingswear to Paignton, taking in some spectacular riverside, coastal and rural scenery.
A sight to behold is the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer, this historic vessel, built in 1924, is the UK’s only coal-fired paddle steamer in operation. Join a cruise on the river and explore this beautiful stretch of river in style.
The main house including the boathouse is also available book between June-August.

What an incredible place — absolutely stunning. We spent an early Christmas here surrounded by peace, quiet and quality time together. If you’re looking to truly unwind and switch off, this is perfect. We especially loved the bedroom and the little ladder leading up to it, we’re very adventurous so this was very cool!
