"A very pleasant stay."
Extremely comfortable, very well equipped duplex in a great location for visiting different parts of Cornwall. The pictures and description are pleasingly accurate. Hard to be negative, really. However, if I was being picky, the freezer space is tiny, recycling and rubbish disposal takes effort and the walk to and from the car port parking (in the almost constant rain) was annoying. For 2, the crockery and cutlery is fine. But for 6 it would mean putting the dishwasher on, or lots of washing up, every day. Having said that, I was impressed overall and would be happy to recommend Riverview to others.
Very pleased to know your stay went well. Comments about crockery noted and also Recycling and Car Port. Unfortunately very little I can offer to offset the Recycling and Car Port. Except at weekends can use Dentist Car Parking diagonally opposite Riverview. Owner

Wonderful to have you to stay. The railway station is indeed a real bonus for travel around Cornwall.

"Excellent stay!"
Very comfortable and well equipped property in a super village location. Although the weather was mixed we enjoyed doing different things in the area each day and rarely used the car as there are frequent, cheap trains available from the railway station opposite.
It was a truly relaxing stay and the communication with and friendliness of our host was great at all times.
Delighted your stay was so relaxing and you enjoyed the facilities at the apartment.

"We had a good holiday the accommodation was lovely, very clean and very well equipped and though it is mentioned in the listing about a railway line, I don’t think it says enough about how busy or noisy early in the day it can be."
The back of the property and from the lounge was indeed tranquil with the river setting and a lovely place to take coffee and read.
I am pleased to know that you had a good holiday at Riverview. The railway line is indeed close to the entrance side of the property and we hope that the triple glazing would help minimise any noise nuisance. I am sorry that in this instance you were disappointed.

"We had a wonderful stay at Riverview."
The apartment was well equipped, tastefully furnished and clean. It's perfectly located and a great base for exploring Cornwall. Lostwithiel is a lovely small town with lots of amenities and it had a fabulous atmosphere whilst we were there during the Queen's Jubilee weekend. When not joining in with the local festivities, we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony soaking up the view and the sunshine. Having a train station outside was handy for our day trip to St. Ives. Riverview is but a stone's throw from the Eden Project and nearby Fowey and Polperro are worth a visit. We would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. They are much appreciated. We have been working to up grade the facilities at Riverview recently so I am very pleased with your observations. Many thanks.

"An excellent week's stay at Riverside and just about to book again for next year."
Initially, when we arrived we were slightly surprised that areas in the kitchen and cloakroom were not as clean as expected - but a short burst of activity soon resolved things. It almost looked as though it had not had a proper clean before our arrival - we were the first booking of 2022 we understand.
However, that exception apart, a new en-suite bathroom had just been put in, and everything else about the apartment was magnificent. A perfect position, easy access to the town and all places of interest in the locality with lots of great walks. Foodies Cafe is great, also Asquith's for a lovely evening meal, as was The Crown at Lanlivery.
We loved the view over the river from the lounge, also the view over the railway from the kitchen. We slept incredibly well too. All in all, a great place for a week out of season.
Delighted that your stay was so enjoyable. Very disappointed that the standard of cleanliness was unacceptable. Thank you for letting us know and we will endeavour to
ensure this is rectified.

"The accommodation was listed as a 6 person apartment with parking."
The accommodation itself was great, very comfortable and thoughtfully prepared. However our visit was spoiled by the parking.
Parking is clearly an issue at this location and we were pestered by neighbours constantly asking about cars (not ours) parked in 'the wrong place'. We have a large car (one that accommodates 5 people, as I imagine most people renting this accommodation will have) and we really struggled to park it in the given slot. We were reliant on the neighbour parking her car well over in her slot in order to be able to get out of the car once parked, meaning if she hadn't done that we would have not been able to access the car.
I know there is little that can be done about the size of the car port slot, but I think the description should indicate that the space is for a small car, and not a people carrier or SUV, which is frankly the most likely vehicle that a family of 5 or 6 will have. We were told by the landlady to park in the Dentist parking slot, but this is only available at the weekend. During the week of our stay there was then no parking.
This really ruined our holiday, and I see that other visitors have raised this. Had I known that parking was going to be a problem I would have booked elsewhere. The neighbours were very nice, but we met all five of them and they were asking about the parking all of the time. Hassle for them, and hassle for us. Not a holiday!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had problems with the parking during your stay. We have now amended the property description to state that allocated parking is available for one medium sized car. Further parking can be found close by to the property and in the town center. Furthermore, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Riverview.
