What an amazing Apartment and so close to the town, 1 minute walk. Lounge, kitchen/dining are perfect for two. Great facilities including dishwasher and washing machine. Bedroom downstairs made the place feel a bit different and special. Great bath and shower doesn’t come much better. Would expect to pay more for this place!

A secluded, peaceful stay in a spacious cabin in a beautiful wooded location. Cabin was very clean, tidy, well laid out. The outdoor deck is a highlight for sunrise breakfasts.

A very enjoyable stay! Dartmouth was lovely and the house is relatively close to the high street … but the hill up to the house was quite the incline – It was just about manageable with young children / pram.

When they say private it really is priva…

The house was roomy and comfortable in a sublime setting overlooking a beautiful valley. The garden was lovely, including its own walled garden and two streams tinkling their way below it. We couldn’t have been happier!

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.

What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you …
