Lovely B&B: clean, well decorated rooms with a modern bathroom. Breakfast was lovely also. Parking is a bit of a pain but not too bad during the off-season: a 5-minute walk away for free if you can find a space (as of 10 Feb 2024, on street parking on the North Embankment is free from the 1st October to 30th April).

Holiday stays don’t come any better than Julie and John’s beautifully presented property. There’s nothing not to like. It’s so clean, so well thought through, so well positioned, so welcoming.

Lovely weekend away at Waterfront house. Bedroom was lovely and clean, with coffee, tea and freshly baked cookies! Breakfast was fabulous - crossaints, fresh fruit, plenty of drink choice and a hot food menu. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it, thank you so much!

Perfect stay, perfect location

A truly wonderful find. The Woterfront House was perfect from start to finish. We managed to park right outside the door and didn’t move the car for two whole days. It was in the most perfect location. We had the nook room, small but so clean and had everything we could possibly need, even homemade cookies!! Delicious. The breakfast choices were just wonderful, fresh and cooked to perfection. The buffet selection was gorgeous too. We will definitely stay again when we go again. I would highly recommend this hotel

Fab stay in Dartmouth

We had a fantastic stay celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. The view was stunning from the room and the luxury of the free standing bath was a bonus. Breakfast was first class and we will definitely be back.

Right on the waterfront at Dartmouth with great views. Warm welcome on arrival, nice room (smallish but fine) with beautiful window space. Didn’t get up in time for breakfast so couldn’t comment - but a lovely stay, highly recommended.

The Waterfront wad excellent. Spotlessly clean, really well decorated, very comfy bed and great shower. We had been walking the SWCP and always appreciate a clean, comfortable room with noce shower. The Waterfront had all of these qualites and some. The breakfast was really good, with a great selection including fresh fruit alongside a wonderful cooked breakfast. Well done Jon & Julie for your hard work and thank you for providing a brilliant room for us. Very highly recommended!!

This is a lovely B&B. We had the room looking out over the harbour, and it was in excellent condition and spotless. The owners clearly really care about their property. We broke down on the way there, and once we'd called them to let them know we'd be really late, they kept in contact with us to make sure we were okay, which was really nice, and welcomed us very warmly when we finally arrive 8 hours late! The breakfast was lovely, and what you would traditionally expect. Lots of choice of cooked breakfasts from eggs, to a traditional fry up, to fish. It was exceptionally well cooked. All in all, this is a lovely place to stay. We were sad we only stayed one night and will definitely be visiting again. This is an exceptional B&B.

A little diamond

I stay away 3/4 times a month with work and had I not been dining with suppliers locally would probably have missed this gem. They moved breakfast forward 20 minutes to allow for an early departure for me and what a breakfast! The fresh fruit, eggs benedict and the banana/strawberry smoothie were all 10/10 whilst I had a superb view over the harbour. The fresh milk and drinks in the room was also great, along with the shortbread biscuits. But the highlight for me was the bed. I intended to watch a film on the tv but didn't get passed the opening credits as it was too comfortable! Credit where credit is due. No wonder they've been voted Devon's best B&B.
