The
Experience
Just before you hit the river, near Dartmouth ferry, is a slice of watery bliss on the estuary with boats to watch and constantly changing light. Dartmouth is a two-minute ferry ride and the owner leaves you a passenger card so you don’t have to pay.Indoors has a relaxed, seaside feel with interesting vintage trinkets dotted about, ships lanterns for lampshades and local artwork – a little table sits under the window so you can watch the goings-on if you eat indoors.Lie in bed and watch estuary life unfurl, or sit on your private boardwalk, an idyllic spot for breakfast. Explore Dartmouth, walk straight onto the coastal path and to excellent pubs, return to watch the sunset over the water.

There are two problems with the QuerQuay Bolthole. The first is trying to find, after all the other glorious reviews, new superlatives to describe the experience. The cottage, the views, the sunsets, lazing on the boardwalk, the ferry nearby for a quick trip into town to pick up croissants (or great fish and chips), the endless entertainment of the various yachts (ordinary and oligarch’s), occasional Royal Navy manoeuvres and of course, the steam train with drivers tooting and waving. Amazing doesn’t do it justice. The second great problem is leaving – but we’re coming back in October!

What a fantastic place to stay.. beautiful setting on the river, and a very short ferry trip across to Dartmouth - lots of great shops and places to eat. Also lots of delightful walks with stunning views. Communication with the owners was excellent and they provided such a lot of comprehensive information - we really loved our stay and can't wait to return.

We absolutely loved our stay! We went for our 'mini moon' and it was an amazing opportunity to truly relax after the madness of our wedding. We were made to feel completely special from start to finish and really enjoyed watching the world go by on the boardwalk!

Location
The neighbourhood
This bolthole rests on the banks of the River Dart a mile from the pretty village of Kingswear where you’ll find several good pubs serving local ales and decent food. Historic Dartmouth is just two minutes on the ferry and is renowned for good food – it’s home to some fabulous chefs including Mitch Tonks of The Seahorse. Walk to Agatha Christie’s home, Greenway, via the scenic Long Woods and the coastal path. Much of the South Hams, this region of rural and coastal Devon, has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Local points of interest from Georgie Cox
- Arrive, park and be car free for the remainder of your stay @ the QuerQuay Bolthole. A rare feature of this area where parking is notoriously difficult. Instead travel around the beautiful South Hams on the ferries, steam trains and buses on your doorstep.
- Dartmouth is a 2 minute ferry ride across the river. Explore the narrow lanes of this beautiful historic town - full of restaurants, cafes and stylish independent shops. Peruse the numerous art galleries or enjoy The Flavel Art Centre for theatre & cinema.
- Beaches on the doorstep include Blue Flag rated Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands; further afield are Salcombe, Bantham and Bigbury, where you can walk the causeway to Burgh Island. Along the coastal roads find fabulous eateries offering fresh local food.
- QuerQuay is a walker's paradise: meander along the river path to meet the steam train at Kingswear, visit Agatha Christie's home Greenway via the scenic Long Woods or head off along the stunning South West Coast Path which literally passes your front door.
- Dartmouth is renowned for stylish food and is home to some fabulous chefs including Mitch Tonks of The Seahorse. Dartmouth Food Festival in October is an annual event not to be missed. Daily you can enjoy wonderful food from the local bakeries and delis.
- Activities abound on the river so you can gear up for canoeing and kayaking, wildlife tours around the coast, paddle boarding, sailing or cookery classes at Manna. Wind down at one of the cosy pubs or enjoy a great meal in one of our acclaimed restaurants.

Introducing
Georgie Cox
Georgie and Ralph first visited Dartmouth in 2010. As keen travellers, they have visited places all over the world but fell in love with this spot closer to home. On returning in 2016 they were smitten and live in the house above QuerQuay when they return for holidays. They’ve enjoyed uncovering QuerQuay's history and the fact that it is built mainly from local, reclaimed materials.
As we think has been said many times before, there just aren't enough superlatives for QQBH. Everything you're expecting, from the description, the setting and, of course, the house, will be there, and much more. A true jewel in the crown. Only four nights, but it felt like so much longer. That only comes with total relaxation. It's a pity we have to leave a feedback really, as QQBH is just the sort of place you could become very secretive and selfish about! We have already booked for next year!
