“Very nice stay. Place was lovely and clean, instructions from Paul were easy to enter and leave property On a quiet road about 15 minute walk from the town, going in is easy as its downhill back is a bit harder as it eventually becomes quite steep. If you dont want to walk the number 90 bus will take you up the hill from the center for £2 per adult! If your reasonably fit though its fine to walk. Garden is on a ste…

The apartment is very well located and the parking permit was really useful as parking a large car in a small street can be a challenge! The owner was incredibly helpful, accommodating and very friendly too. We thought the apartment had been thoughtfully designed to a high spec and everything was as described which resulted in a very enjoyable and comfortable few days away. Dartmouth is a fantastic place to visit wi…

Great flat with all necessary amenities and a fully equipped kitchen. Fantastic location. The only issue is the parking, which I gather is not the owner’s fault but is a real issue to work around.

Really lovely property, beautifully decorated. Perfect base for short break. We did not struggle to park on the road near the property, but did not then move the car. Very convenient for all local shops, bars and restaurants. Lacking wine glasses (all mismatched). I would imagine the living area would be very squashed if fully occupied, fine for two of us and dog. The TV connectivity also poor, programme lagged badl…

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…

This was my second stay and a first for some family members we brought along with us. Yet again, everyone was delighted with the property and its location and we would all loved to have stayed for longer! Paul responds in great time to any messages and is super helpful. We would absolutely stay again.
