Mrs Macfarlane
A lovely week exploring a beautiful and interesting area. Genista was a great base, convenient for ferries, walking and restaurants alike. The house was warm and comfortable and we loved watching dawn emerge over the estuary listening to the birds, and then the twinkling lights of Dartmouth come dark. The parking space was JUST doable for our estate car, but fine once we got the hang of it. Thanks for a fantastic stay.
