“Really charming cottage, exactly what you’d hope for from a country escape, the bathroom in the bedroom was the icing on the cake! The beams, the log fire, the little patio garden it was all so idyllic, we’ll definitely be adding to our list of favourites, thank you so much.”

And the digital guidebook was very helpful. We also l…

Fantastic stay here for my parents’ Christmas present. Beautifully kept property, that accommodated us all perfectly. Plenty of space for 7 adults to all live, socialise and enjoy. Couldn’t find a single fault and would recommended very highly. Would happily return again and again, and likely will. Thanks again!

A hideaway above the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth. Great views and super comfy mattress! The apartment is totally original and quirky. Loved it. Paul has been really helpful from the initial booking and after check out. Easy parking either on the street or in the nearby car park. And the breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

The rear where the hot tub did overlook the golf course, which if you don’t mind the occasional good morning from a golfer passi…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivershack! We felt privileged to stay there it is so unique the way it is nestled on the estuary. The views of the estuary were spectacular always something different to see. Great for bird watching ! The place was well equipped, clean, with comfy beds. Communication from Paul was great. I definitely wouldn’t recommend finding it in the dark although once we knew where it was i…
