We spent seven nights at Douglas Riverside with family (4 adults, 2 teenagers) and had a magnificent time. On arrival we found the property impeccably clean, tidy and fitted with all the necessities for a very comfortable, self catering holiday. Proprietor Jane clearly goes to considerable effort to add a range of thoughtful and caring welcome touches such as fresh flowers, a loaf of home baked bread, bowl of fresh fruit, milk and chocolates in the fridge and mini Tim Tams in each room. We were able to change linen and towels as often as needed during our stay. The lounge area has delightful, soothing views up and down the Moyne River which is literally just outside the windows. The surrounding gardens and lawn are maintained to a very high standard. This is an ideal property to rent with family or a group of friends. Bedroom 3 has a separate room with single bed and shared en-suite which is ideal for adults with a child or teenagers of different gender. An easy walk along the waterfront and into town for shopping, cafes and restaurants. A thoroughly enjoyable week with special thanks to...

Read moreMy husband and I stayed at Douglas Riverside for two nights in February 2022.
It is ideally located along the river and close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants.
We stayed in the Garden House and this was absolutely wonderful. The large lounge, living and dining area is bathed in glorious light and has the most spectacular views out over lush gardens and the river. The only problem is: you won’t want to leave the house!
Jane was an excellent hostess and left a well-stocked fridge and even a loaf of her delicious home-made bread.
The garden house was perfect for us as one couple but, having three en-suite queen size rooms, it would be great for small groups or families as well.
The bedroom was a great size and the bed linens and towels were of luxury quality, as were the appointments in the bathroom.
