“Beautiful house and it had all we needed for a friends’ weekend away – everything we possibly thought of was there in the kitchen, lovely kitchenware, big table for communal meals, cosy lounge space. Quick walk to town and a shop and pub nearby. Will definitely book again”.

Ritson Farm was perfect for our needs. The accomodation is great, lovely bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces and a large and very well equipped kitchen. The setting was very peaceful and our grandchildren loved seeing the donkeys in the field and playing in the garden. We were only there for 2 nights for a family wedding and would have liked to stay longer!

Only feedback would be we couldn’t find a hair dryer. Wish tea and c…

We had a lovely time, and the photographs do not do the garden any justice. A beautiful space to spend time away relaxing. We’d love to return.

We had a lovely holiday in this amazing house, all very high quality. Brilliant location and enjoyed sitting on the balconies watching over the river. Enjoyed catching the ferry into Dartmouth and found lots of shade for our dog in the park area! Although the weather was so hot and couldn’t go on as many walks as we would have liked the house and location made up for it as it was easy and enjoyable to hang around at…
