1 Bight Boatyard Reviews

Beverley
So the good. Fantastic views and location. Does have loads of steps even with the lift, without which you couldn't manage. Kids loved dropping the crab nets over the balcony ,always caught something. Comfy beds and good cleanliness. Well equipped if you can fathom how to use it. Not so good. Sitting room and kitchen/diner ok for 6,just, not 8. Issues with some of the plumbing and microwave ,foreign, with no instructions. Main tv a mare to use. But on balance we coped and had a good holiday.
Caroline
We visited for a week from Saturday 13th July 2024. Fantastic location. Great to have an allocated parking space. Amazing views of the estuary. The lift down to the ground floor is necessary to bring our bags down, although you can walk down the steps. Then a further set of steps down to the property. The house was generally clean overall, just a few issues that were fed back. James the handyman made us aware of an non urgent electrical issue which the electrian came to fix a couple of days later. While James was on site, we reported another issue which he promptly resolved. Really nice man, very friendly. We would definitely look at returning next year.
Kate
Despite a few problems we enjoyed our stay in this property, it is very well positioned for Dartmouth with lovely views of the estuary.
Julie
I have already lodged a complaint and I am still awaiting some sort of response.
