Vipers Quay - a secluded waterfront property with wonderful views of the R. Dart

Superbly located directly on the banks of the River Dart, Vipers Quay is a wonderfully located 1960’s boat house, sleeping up to 12 guests. The spectacular living room is the focal point, with fantastic views over the River Dart and across to Greenway (Agatha Christie’s home) and the village of Dittisham. The huge room is open and spacious, with plenty of comfortable armchairs and sofas where you can relax and enjoy the changing light over the water. There is an open fire at one end of the room, with logs available for winter visitors. At the other end the dining table comfortably seats 12 guests.

Outside there is a garden running alongside the water, leading to a woodland area, and a BBQ and two picnic tables where you can eat out in the summer. A spiral staircase leads up to a sundeck on the roof with fantastic views out over the river where you can catch some rays while watching the boats go by. In front of the house, the private jetty can be used for crabbing or to launch a canoe or paddle board.

There is ample parking and the house is all on one level, meaning it is suitable for wheelchair users (see access statement). Pets are welcome.

Fabulous spot!
This is an amazing house in a fabulous spot! A real Wow factor view and cozy house all on one level. Great for lovers of river life/nature watching. You need a car to be here, but it’s also lovely to stay in and so calm and quiet. Really lovely. Very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Lovely log fire. It’s not a modern/shiny kinda place and quite quirky in some ways but we thoroughly enjoyed our 3day stay over Christmas. We enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous situation and stay in a fabulous place. We were there for a 90th/60th/30th birthday celebration for family and VQ fitted every requirement. It was clean, tidy, well equipped, spacious for us all, big living room area and had very comfy beds and most of all, a spectacular view that you just can’t pull away from. Intend to stay again so we can make the most of the waterside access. Highly recommended.

Amazing view
We stayed for a long weekend when the weather was terrible but we still had the best time. Celebrating my mum's 60th there were 12 of us total us the dog! Great peaceful location with a great view. Local village for a pint was nice and a log fire in the evening made it a great trip to get the family together. Host Felicity is great, very good communication and helpful in every way.

Delightful
The property is supremely relaxing. It has a lovely feel to it, not at all like a usual holiday rental - rather a home from home with a stunning view. The owner is very nice and responded quickly to emails and questions. It easily accommodated guests and has a great entrance hall which coped with holiday stuff. This left the rest of the house free of clutter and dirt. The garden is splendid, and the jetty and mooring meant we could sail off instantly at almost any tide. We did not use the car at all, and went everywhere by boat. Cool. Would stay again and again.
