Great place to stay to explore Dartmouth and the whole of south hams. Hot tub is a great addition and golfers wandering by provided entertainment all day long! Can reccomend the Sportsmans arms for dinner and the old inn, also worth going to Dittisham and getting the ferry over to greenway! Fantastic stay and would come again!

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

We absolutely love the Rivershack and have stayed several times in the past. The location is amazing, right on the river. We swam everyday when the tide was in. The shack is small but has everything you need, from a utility area for wetsuits and muddy boots, a hot shower as well as a free standing bath, really comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. There is a bit of a walk from parking up to the shack, so bes…

The host was very responsive and flexible regarding check-in…

We’ve just returned from a lovely short break at Dart Loft. It is a very nice apartment very centrally located within easy reach of the lovely shops and numerous restaurants and pubs in Dartmouth. The apartment is very well equipped with very comfortable beds and nice bedding and also hot and powerful showers. A couple of issues, a handrail is needed for the second flight of stairs up to the apartment and also the s…

A secluded, peaceful stay in a spacious cabin in a beautiful wooded location. Cabin was very clean, tidy, well laid out. The outdoor deck is a highlight for sunrise breakfasts.

Fantastic flat – absolutely stunning views, could have spent the entire stay staring out of that fabulous window. Great vibe to the whole property, really well thought out layout. Great location, so close to town and particularly Bayards Cove, everything is in walking distance. A fabulous find and a great stay was had by all! Would definitely recommend this stunning property, even in the depths of winter it would be…
