We all had a lovely stay at this place in Dartmouth . The only negative is the garden furniture which could do with updating . The house really lovely and well equipped with everything you need .

We had a wonderful few days at the Boathouse – the location is second to none! To listen to the waves crash into the sea wall was the best! The pub was just right and the food was fantastic. All in all we had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend in a unique property with huge appeal. I hope to return soon.

A very enjoyable stay! Dartmouth was lovely and the house is relatively close to the high street … but the hill up to the house was quite the incline – It was just about manageable with young children / pram.

Our stay at The River Shack was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt ourselves unwind. Sitting beside the tidal waters, watching the boats, swans and paddleboarders drift peacefully past was such a joy, and the ever-changing river made every moment feel special.

Kitchen is well equipped too. It’s a fantastic location to walk to Blackpool Sands. The Green Dragon in the village is a very friendly pub serving delicious pizzas. Despite being close to the road it is very peaceful and quiet. Paul is a ve…

I stayed at Hideaway cottage for three nights with my son, and we couldn’t fault it at all! Stunning cottage with everything you could need for a break away! Beautiful sleepy village, a stones throw away from the beach. The cottage is compact, but my 6ft 3inch son managed it, you just have to remember to watch out for the low beams. You’ll only hit your head once believe me. The fresh white bedlinen and towels provi…
