Ritson Farm was perfect for our needs. The accomodation is great, lovely bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces and a large and very well equipped kitchen. The setting was very peaceful and our grandchildren loved seeing the donkeys in the field and playing in the garden. We were only there for 2 nights for a family wedding and would have liked to stay longer!

The property is located in an extremely beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by nature in every direction, creating a truly relaxing and calming atmosphere. The house was clean, well prepared for guests, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable 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.

We had a fantastic stay at The Cabin. Lots of narrow roads to get to it, but the instructions given were very helpful! The Cabin itself is beautiful. It was very peaceful and private. It was very clean and had everything we need. As a family of 6 we were at full capacity, but we still had plenty of space. The kids loved going up to the meadow for a little fire and marshmallow toasting. There is so much to do in unde…

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.

We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend as a great place to stay in Dartmouth, close to…
