“Great host and property. Fully equipped en-suite. You have sink in the room and a kitchenette section (fridge/microwave/toaster) ideal for working professionals. You have easily adjustable heating and super quick warming up in the evenings (probably well insulated), free parking, nice modern shower, dim lights (nice touch) and above all flooring instead of carpets which make it even better. Highly recommend and wil…

We have just returned from a few days at the lodge in between Christmas and New Year. It was absolutely gorgeous , so cosy and in such a beautiful setting. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas as well. We really loved the log burner in the evenings, it’s clear that everything has been thought out carefully in the lodge. The beds are so comfortable and the decor absolutely lovely, we were sad to leave!

Our stay at Ritson Farm was amazing from start to finish. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family of six adults and four children. There was lots to explore in the area, including gorgeous beaches and the Dart Country Park, but it was also nice to stay in the house and play games and make memories. We had the best time and will never forget our stay at Ritson Farm. Thank you.

Perfect if you need a bunk room to crash in the centre of Dartmouth. Ideal for sailors not wanting to stay on board, or for anyone wanting to enjoy the delights of Dartmouth. It is compact, but perfectly functional and perfectly located. Great breakfasts included downstairs at the wonderful Cafe Alfresco.

We escaped to the beautiful 9 Riverside Wharf for a Mother’s Day weekend with kids ranging from 5-8, and parents in their 70’s. What a great time we had! The views of the apartment were amazing, and so well equipped! The walk to the ferry and into Dartmouth was the perfect length managed easily by age 5-75 . Highly reccommend this beautiful apartment for a coastal escape!! Thanks so much for helping us make great me…
