We’ve just completed a 21-day stay at 9 Riverside Wharf, and it truly stole our hearts. The place was beautifully prepared with thoughtful details that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, all the fatigue of the journey faded away — it felt like a peaceful haven for our family. We’re so grateful for the warmth and care that welcomed us. Thank you for making us feel at home.

“Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped – basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy – picturesque, panoramic, stunning.”

Great apartment in a superb location, everything within walking distance. Well appointed and was spotlessly clean. Excellent communication with the host throughout our stay. Lots of information available for recommendations for eating and visiting. Would highly recommend 5*

We had the best time staying here, perfectly located close to the hotel where I celebrated my 50th birthday. It was much bigger than we expected too. Thank you

We had a lovely stay at The Apartment in Dartmouth. Everything was spotless, kitchen had everything you would need. Great location, everything is within walking distance & great places to eat. Would recommend taking the little boat that takes you to the castle & back. Definitely would stay again as also a great base to visit other places along the south Devon coast.

Torcross is the most beautiful place – even after the recent storm damage (and in fact the village needs supporting now more than ever) – in the most beautiful surroundings. This Airbnb is fantastic, with the most incredible view from the first floor window. Worth the price alone! It was such a joy sitting on the sofa watching the waves, both on sunny days and cloudy ones.

“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.”

“The place was spacious, clean and well presented with everything we needed for a very enjoyable long weekend break with friends. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to easily rustle up a cooked breakfast for six! The house is conveniently located close to the town centre with numerous pubs and restaurants all within a short walking distance. From the top deck there are stunning views across the town towards t…

We had a great stay and would definitely go back! It’s a lovely, modern house with gorgeous views and is on a farm (so great for kids to see the tractors / cows / pigs in the mornings!). A friendly cat visited us all the time too. It’s so close to the beach at Torcross (and the Start Bay Inn for great fish and chips) and well located for Salcombe / Dartmouth etc. The two bathrooms were really useful. The only things…
