    “Hi the situation of the cottage was lovely with beautiful views.”

    It was very clean and had a lovely garden and outdoor area on common land. The kitchen crockery and equipment generally were lovely and we had everything we needed. But the cottage itself was not great. The walls and floors all creaked and seemed paper thin - you could hear the neighbours’ conversations and I could hear my son talking normally in the downstairs bedroom from the room 2 storeys above him; at night it felt like the neighbours were in the room with you in the top bedroom!

    It was very clean and had a lovely garden and outdoor area on common land. The kitchen crockery and equipment generally were lovely and we had everything we needed. But the cottage itself was not great. The walls and floors all creaked and seemed paper thin - you could hear the neighbours’ conversations and I could hear my son talking normally in the downstairs bedroom from the room 2 storeys above him; at night it felt like the neighbours were in the room with you in the top bedroom! The lounge/dining area and kitchen are so small and I’m amazed they recommend it for 4 adults. We were a child and 2 adults and had barely enough room. The fridge hummed and thudded constantly and. as it’s open plan, we had to turn the TV up ! The 2 downstairs rooms were very small and the garden furniture was uncomfortable and falling apart. I really would not recommend the cottage I’m afraid.

About the location

DITTISHAM

Dartmouth 3.5 miles; Totnes 7 miles.

Dittisham is a picturesque village surrounded by rolling countryside, located on the banks of the River Dart in the South Hams. Wander along the quiet streets lined with quaint, stone cottages and lush gardens, until you reach the waterfront. Dittisham’s quayside is often regarded as the hub of village activity. Stop at the Anchorstone Café for a spot of lunch while taking in the fantastic river views. Try your hand at some crabbing with the kids on the dinghy pontoon. Visit the iconic pink Ferry Boat Inn (or FBI as it is known locally). Ring the bell for the ferry and head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha
Christie. For outdoor activities, there are sailing schools and boat hire also paddle board and canoe hire, as well as plenty of
scenic walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away or ferry away, and offers an array of shops, a cinema, plenty of restaurants and even a castle. Further afield, you will find plenty of fantastic beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham to explore.
