Riversea Cottage Reviews

Naomi
We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Riversea Cottage. Super comfortable beds, well maintained and well equipped. Beautiful views from the house and very tranquil. We have returned well rested. The host/owner was super attentive and very friendly. We will definitely return at some point in the future.
Jan
Beautiful house in an amazing location, with lovely views down the river to the sea. Nice quiet area, with a couple of good pubs, and Dartmouth just 10 minutes away by ferry.
Sandra
We had a lovely stay at Riversea Cottage again. It is clean, very comfortable and well equipped with fantastic views of the river and over to Dartmouth Castle, a great location with a lot to see and do, as well as great river and coastal walks.
Emma
A beautiful, comfortable house with stunning views. The house was well equipped and furnished beautifully and was a great base from which to explore the Dartford area. The added bonuses of fab WiFi and extensive tv channels were really appreciated esp. on the slightly soggy days!
Mark
We really enjoyed the stay, gorgeous views, everything you need!
Susan
Weve stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years, thisnreally was lovely and a great base to explore Dartmouth, walk some of the coastal path and explore the surrounding area Great open plan living space, really welcoming. Kingswear really is a lovely place, with 2 local pubs, and an Italian restaurant. The walk from the car to property is less than 10mins, we would definitely book again.
