Stayed a couple of days with my partner and 3 year old and we had a great stay! Check in was really easy (though there are a few stairs!). Easy to use the pool which our toddler absolutely loved! House was clean and looked like the photos. Will definitely recommend and come again when we are next in the area! Thank you!!

Dartmouth is fabulous – a beautiful place with lots of great restaurants and things to see and do. Parking is tight but workable with one small car across the driveway and another parked parallel to it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivershack! We felt privileged to stay there it is so unique the way it is nestled on the estuary. The views of the estuary were spectacular always something different to see. Great for bird watching ! The place was well equipped, clean, with comfy beds. Communication from Paul was great. I definitely wouldn’t recommend finding it in the dark although once we knew where it was i…
