Wonderful cabin, so peaceful and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything one could need for food preparation and dining. Beds are comfortable and spotless. Warm and comfortable. Perfect bathrooms. The surroundings are beautiful and all you can hear is the stream in the distance and the whisper of the wind and the trees. Paul replied promptly each time I asked questions.

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.

Thank you for making us feel at home.

Foredeck is in a stunning location, minutes away from the lovely shops and restaurants of Dartmouth. When we needed some help with the flat, Peter was very quick to respond. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Very nice duplex apartment, well appointed in a central area of Dartmouth – a few minutes walk from everything in the town. I would use it again.

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in. Right from entering the appartment we felt at home – the nook in which the bed is is so cosy, the open kitchen makes it feel so homely. The views over the harbour are unbelievable, because you are so high up you feel like you are on top of the world. The interior is so cute and we especially loved the big table to work from. When they say private it really is priva…
