About this property

Beautiful 1st floor waterfront apartment, superb views over estuary

There are very few houses you can book which are directly on the waterfront in Dartmouth – Gullsway Boathouse is one of them.

Upper Gullsway forms part of the Gullsway Boathouse which comprises two, self contained, two bedroomed apartments, both listed on this site. Lower Gullsway is on the ground floor with direct access to the water and mooring , whilst Upper Gullsway is located on the first floor, and enjoys its own private balcony. Both properties have spectacular views up and across the river Dart, Kingswear, and the sea beyond. We have had visitors there from 8 weeks old to 80 years. However, there are 90 or so irregular steps down to the apartments from the road, so whilst not suitable for the infirm, it is well worth the effort for the fantastic views, waterside views, and exclusive location.

Upper Gullsway is a newly refurbished 1st floor waterside apartment. It has an open plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen. It is very well equipped, with high speed wifi, newly fitted kitchen, a new 46 inch smart TV with all the modern viewing apps. Wonderful location and views - the apartment has stunning direct views over the estuary, and a balcony to allow you to fully enjoy your stay on the water’s edge. Dartmouth is just 7 minutes’ walk to the very centre of town. It is an amazing town, full of history, culture and events. It is a great base for exploring Devon's many attractions.

The front door opens to a tiled hall leading to the bedrooms, bathrooms and open plan living space. At the front of this spacious living area are french windows offering unrestricted, panoramic, estuary and sea views. The doors and windows fill the room with light and offer access to the balcony with table and chairs so you can fully enjoy the waterside experience. Here you can relax and watch the ever changing water traffic and keep an eye out for the dolphins and seals which are regular visitors. The lounge area has two sofas, smart TV with DVD, coffee tables and subtle lighting for a relax in the evenings. There is a unique driftwood dining table that comfortably seats six.
The kitchen is newly fitted with a large fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, hob, microwave, kettle and toaster. There is undercounter and plinth mood lighting.

To the rear you will find the refurbished master and twin bedrooms. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed, large fitted wardrobes and views over the grotto and fairy garden. The twin room is of a similar size with similar views and with fitted wardrobes. The single beds can be joined to form a kingsize on request. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, toilet and basin. There is a separate WC with wash basin.

We provide a free parking pass to our guests for use in the local town car parks and park and ride. Parking can also be found near the property on the road above but it can be very busy in the summer months, and also has summer time restrictions. Guests usually just leave their cars, free, for their stay in the town car park. Warfleet, which is a 10 minute walk towards the castle at the estuary entrance, has free roadside parking.

The Best of Dartmouth
Nick the property owner was very communicative and responsive. The directions were clear and we found the apartment and a parking spot easily. It is great that the owners arrange free parking in the town. The apartment is a short walk from the town centre. The apartment is modern with everything you need. Beautiful waterfront location. Morning is the best when you get a great view of the sun rising in the east. Great central heating system and plenty of hot water. We cooked in the kitchen and found everything we needed and a very convenient layout. Even on a cold winters day the terrace was a delight to sit on and enjoy the sea air. We would recommend the owners invest in better quality duvets for the bed. They were new, but a bit thin. Overall, we had a great time and would love to return.

Stunning views!
We have just returned from a week at Gullsway Boathouse (upper). It was wonderful to wake up to the spectacular view every morning and so peaceful to sit out on the balcony every evening. The accommodation had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday, with shops and Riverside walks all nearby. We would absolutely love to stay here again.

Brilliant location, shame about the cloudy double glazing.
The location is fantastic and the accomodation is very good. However the view, which is what you are paying for, is spoilt by the blown double glazing to the balcony. This needs replacement and detracts from the view and gives a poor first impression of the property. You have to open the doors because of the cloudy smeary glass.
