    “We enjoyed a wonderful week at The Linney and were very lucky with the weather.”

    It was lovely to talk to the owner before the holiday to get some good useful knowledge prior to arrival. The cottage benefited from a lovely view across to the river Dart, the sunsets were amazing and we were lucky enough to see the Northern lights on our last evening. The walk down to the riverside is really pleasant if a little steep but if you take your time it is manageable by road or recreational area.

    It was lovely to talk to the owner before the holiday to get some good useful knowledge prior to arrival. The cottage benefited from a lovely view across to the river Dart, the sunsets were amazing and we were lucky enough to see the Northern lights on our last evening. The walk down to the riverside is really pleasant if a little steep but if you take your time it is manageable by road or recreational area. From here you can get a ferry to Greenway or a direct ferry to Dartmouth which allows you to leave the car behind for a day. We visited Dartington Estate, Fast Rabbit and Gardentime, Greenway, Dartmouth, Burgh Island, Salcombe and Little Dartmouth to Dartmouth Castle during our week. All were just a short drive or ferry ride away. All the locals we came into contact with were very friendly and we felt very much at home during our stay. The cottage is ideal for two friends sharing with a bedroom and bathroom floor each and a settee each in the lounge. We would recommend this cottage highly.

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.

Note: Pets are not permitted during school summer holidays.
Note: Small to medium size dogs only.
