Reviews

Beautiful home from home. Very impressed, we would like to visit again!

Mrs A,

A great holiday house that catered to all our needs. Well equipped and spacious. The pool table was great fun. Lovely base to go exploring Kingsbridge, Salcombe, and Bantham Beach. Thank you!

Past Customer,

We have all LOVED our holiday home! What a fantastic base for exploring this beautiful part of Devon. All your recommendations have been spot on. We think the late afternoon kayaking has been idyllic - what a treat!

Previous Customer,

Had a lovely time staying here with my family. We came from Kent and enjoyed the countryside . New and beautiful property. All the facilities were amazing. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Previous Customer,

Thank you for the most beautiful stay in Devon! Your property is absolutely stunning and we have had everything we could possibly want/need in terms of facilities. Our two families and all of our children have made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for everything.

Previous Customer,

AMAZING! What a wonderful home, thank you so much!

Previous Customer,

A great holiday home that catered to all of our needs! Well equipped and spacious. Kayaks were great fun, along with the pool table. Lovely base to go exploring Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Bantham Beach! Only a 35 minute walk to the pub at South Pool. Although the roads are a little challenging, the Sunday Roast at the pub was superb. Great walk along the creek from Frogmore to West Charleton, and back via East Charleton, the scenery was fantastic!

Past Customer,

We had the most wonderful stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the canoes and we brought the paddleboard which was lots of fun. The views are amazing and sitting on the bench by the Summer House, taking in the views was lovely. The beds are comfy, and the kitchen was the best equipped we've ever seen! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Past Customer,

Thank you so much for such a lovely stay, once again! We have been so lucky with the weather and loved visiting Dartmouth Castle, Start Point Lighthouse, Hallsands Beach, South Milton Beach, Salcombe to do some crabbing, and Overbecks House. We will definitely be back!

Past Customer,

What a fantastic house! This is the best holiday home we have ever stayed in! It had everything we needed and more! We had hours of fun on the kayaks too. We enjoyed lovely days out in Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Blackpool Sands, and Dartmoor. We especially liked Dartmouth where we did a couple of boat trips and visited the Castle. Our Favourite places to eat were the Church House Inn in Stokenham, The Seven Stars and The Crabshell, both in Kingsbridge.

Past Customer,

Had a wonderful week in your lovely home. One of the best properties we have stayed in for over thirty years! Very comfortable, beautiful view. We have been so lucky with the weather for October and have been able to sit outside everyday. Enjoyed trips to Paignton Zoo, Dartmouth, Salcombe, Babbacombe, Totnes and Buckfast Abbey. Enjoyed ice cream at Torcross. Good food at The Globe across the road, the Village Bakery and The Queen's Arms in Slapton. This was our second attempt to visit Riverside, the first was cancelled at the start of the Pandemic - we're very glad we got here eventually!
