We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend and everything was perfect. Even down to the cupboards having everything we could need, and more. The complimentary basket of goodies was a lovely touch. The view is stunning by day and even more special at night. Thank you.

The cottage was delightful glorious views and very clean . Also well equipped. We have recently sold our holiday home in France where we were very particular . Did not know what to expect after 14 years out of the loop but were very happy. Would highly recommend this property.

Great property, very well equipped - even with telescope and binoculars! Views are outstanding from the balcony, especially living room and the super large master bedroom! Just be prepared for quite a climb on foot if you choose to walk from riverside to the property, or you can pay to park in the marina car park. We walked it quite a few times andRead more my 82 year old father managed it each time! Highly recommend a stay at Dartwood House. Hide

The properties facilities and cleanliness was not to the expected standard. The pictures certainly made it look a lot better than reality. Generally the property is quite tired, for example the patio furniture was in very bad order. The living room rug was grubby.

A few things to fix, no spare toilet tissue, no instructions on how to use the TV and the 5 remote controls and finally not clear on what a "seagull proof container" looked like so had to guess it was a sack when we put the rubbish out. Great location although parking was a challenge for my SUV. The rest was excellent
