We’ve just returned home to Bristol after the most amazing 3 night stay at the Rivershack with our dog and 5 year old son. What an absolutely fantastic location, literally ON the estuary with insane views. We arrived in the dark (which was our fault!) and wasn’t ideal but once we found our way to the shack it was everything we hoped it would be and more. Firstly the shack was warm, homely and immaculately clean – it…

A lovely spacious townhouse for our family group of five, with everything we wanted for a break. For outside space there’s a pretty seating spot under a Gingko tree outside the open plan kitchen / dinning room and up steps at the rear of the house is a sun trap terrace with views over the town. A big advantage is having a parking space in Dartmouth, as we understood walking around this very pretty coastal town of ho…

“This is a magical home with the most beautiful view of the sea entrance to Dartmouth. Couldn’t have asked for better weather in December waking up to blue skies and sunshine. It’s worth the journey once you navigate all the steps and luggage down to Paul’s place. Would come again and bring more guests as there is plenty of room here for a big group. Love all the balconies and different levels of the house. Having a…

This place is in an amazing location right next to the sea, couldn’t get any closer. Lovely accommodation with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Gorgeous walks on the door step, incredible views and great pubs and restaurants would highly recommend. Thanks Paul for our amazing stay. Would definitely return.

We had a really lovely stay here. The place itself was great and had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a brilliant addition — especially in the evenings. It made the whole trip feel extra relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

We loved The Captain’s Cabin! The furnishings really did make us think we were staying on a boat. Breakfast at Alf Fresco was an added bonus. A perfect base for our weekend walking the coast path.

“We (my sister, brother-in-law and myself) have thoroughly enjoyed our all too brief stay in your property. It was brilliantly clean, well appointed with everything we could need, so warm as to make me think I was back home (Australia), and the walks to and from the town have brought memories of times growing up in Dartmouth. I was fitter back then! If we ever get the chance we will thoroughly recommend this delig…
