Really enjoyed our stay; accommodation was comfortable, spotless and well-equipped. Debbie and John were there but never intrusive and we shall certainly return in the future. A real bonus was being able to sit outside overlooking the Dart river and enjoy the tranquil setting. We even had a welcome bottle of wine awaiting our arrival.
What more could one ask for?

We have just had a lovely stay at Little Riverside. Debbie and John made us feel welcome, and have done a great job in creating a comfortable and pleasant apartment with a beautiful view. Totnes was an excellent base for a holiday, and it is a fantastic walk from the apartment to both the Town and Dartington. We will be back before long.

Little Riverside is the most fantastic location – nestled in by the beautiful river and so peaceful. Debbie and John are great hosts – I felt very well looked after. Thank you.

We spent a wonderful holiday in Little Riverside. We are from Spain ans we have had very good weather, much better than we spected to have.
The aparment is very nice and comfortable, suitable for a couple. It is located close to Totnes, 15 minutes by walk, and in permanent contac with nature. You can swin, walk to Dartington Hall or take the steam train to Buckfastleigh. There´s no need to use the car.
Whatever you need Debbie and John can helpyou. Thanks to them, our holidays were unforgetable. We are sure we´ll came back

What a delightful spot. Paul and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay – we came with bicycles on the train from London and cycled straight to Little Riverside along the bike path from the station! One of our great day’s out was a cycle along the river to Sharpham Vineyard for lunch – there are also some fantastic picnic spots along the way. We’d love to come back.

A lovely tranquil place to come and unwind – a short stay this time but would love to return to take full advantage of the scenery and walks. Many thanks John and Debbie for creating a very welcoming retreat.

One perfect place for a near to town, but in the quietest corner imaginable holiday.There’s always something or other flitting about on the river and heads bobbing past the fence. We hope your stay is as enjoyable as ours was.

A welcome, quiet retreat – something that was much needed and appreciated. Despite being late in the year, was able to have some lovely walks…… John and Debbie have done everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible: to them many thanks.

Despite choosing gales to storm week and having virtually heavy rain virtually every day Little Riverside was as wonderful as I had hoped. fave bits of my stay include: heron, cormorant, egret, thrush, steam train going by. The gorgeous dartington lodge house nice hot showers and the river, the river, the river. I also love all the old trees round her. So awesome. Love Poppy

We have really enjoyed our first stay at Little Riverside. The view from the garden is amazing. We have loved gazing at the river and watching the world go by. Little Riverside is a cosy comfortable place to stay, we hope to visit again soon. Debbie and John made us feel very at home.

We hired a canoe on Sat 26th July 2008 and it was the highlight of our trip. The owner’s son gave us a quick prep lesson and off we went. The weather was beautiful, the river was crystal clear and the scenery was stunning. There is hardly any current on the non-tidal river and so no-one should worry about getting in to difficulties. We pulled in to a beach about a mile up stream and enjoyed a picnic on the bank. A great day out!

Cosy little place in a lovely location – ideal for Dartington Summer School. Plenty of room for all our musical instruments. Accommodation worked well, and the bed was particularly comfortable, which meant we were able to rest well between the busy days on the course. We were too busy to really enjoy the location, but this was just as well, given the mostly dreadful weather conditions! Worth a return visit…

Thankyou for such a thoughtful and welcoming arrival: the treats, wine, milk, tea and loo roll! were very much appreciated after a very long journey.
Our family in Totnes also greatly admired your garden and tasteful decor, my mum-in-law in particular could see herself living there. We’ve had a very enjoyable week seeing all our family and the clean and restful surroundings have enhanced this. With thanks and best wishes.

Here is a poem as requested somewhat influenced by Matt Harvey (appropriately enough)
Totnes is no less
Proud than Stroud
To be a place of national renown
To be a green transition town
Lovely place – we will be recommending it to our friends

I have been looking for somewhere to escape to to get some writing done when I came across Little Riverside. It has been the most perfect writers retreat. With a beautiful view outside the window and garden to sit in I got more writing done than I would ever have imagined. Although I didnt explore the area as much as I would have liked I did visit Totnes on a daily basis. The coffee shops are just the perfect distance away – too far to go too frequently but close enough to have a lovely walk there in the breaks from writing.
A big thank you to John and Debbie for creating the perfect environment to let creativity flow.
