Beautifully Presented Cottage for Four with Wood Burner

The cottage was everything we had hoped for clean tidy and lovely views from all windows.Lovely village

A fantastic week away. The cottage has great views across the hills to the River Dart. Cottage was well equiped with everything we needed. Clean and comfortable. Handily located fr tge Red Lion Pub and shop and great local facility staffed by friendly volunteers. Lack of dedicated parking wasnt a problem as we always managed to find a space on Riverside road. The pre-arrival information was some of the best and most comprehensive i have received from any cottage company. Should just have paid a bit closer attention to the key safe location before I arrived. Would happily stay here again.

We had a relaxing week in Rock house. It has wonderful views over the estuary especially from the bedrooms. It is well equipped and comfortable. We had a few problems. The garden is separate from the house just across the road which doesn’t make it easy to eat Alfresco!! The catch on the garden gate didn’t work so had to be careful it didn’t swing open with the wind into traffic. The garden table is falling apart and we only had three chairs in the garden. Saying that the garden is very private and quiet. The on suit bathroom shower needs updating . It looks like it’s been there for sometime and the shower cradle is broken, plus the door doesn’t close properly. The internet was very slow so slow I disconnected my phone and used my data to get onto the internet. I don’t know if it’s the location or it needs updating?? My wife who did most of the cooking found the kitchen cupboards and some of the equipment a bit grubby. A little TLC is in order I think!!!

This cottage is very well maintained, very clean & very well equipped, thought has been given to what people need when they're on holiday.It's well positioned in the village for the shop & pub, also walks.

Wonderful view from this cottage up the Dart Estuary. Dittisham is a lovely village and location. Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the garden.

We had a lovely few days in Dittisham. The cottage was very well maintained and served as a perfect base to explore the local area.

The view was fantastic. However, we arrived just after the stated time to find the cleaners still there manically cleaning. Not their fault, as it seems the previous occupants had left it in a state. (We had this happen at our previous Dart Valley cottage stay). We had to clean plates and cutlery again as they were dirty - again not the cleaners fault. One error is there was a real lack of storage for clothes. In the main bedroom, yes there was a wardrobe but there was ample rooms under the bed for there to be storage boxes available for our clothes. The 2nd bedroom had zero storage for clothes. In fact the wardrobe was blocked by the second bed so there was no access. Oh and a super thick feather down duvet in August wasn’t the best idea- although it was England in August so the balmy summer didn’t arrive but a slimmer duvet would’ve been nice. All said, the cottage was cosy and compact and the garden was a nice spot and extra space but the lack of a dishwasher meant people didn’t wash plates etc- why would they, they’re on holiday !

The cottage needs renovation and updating. Dining on a uncomfortable bench was an experience that I had not been encountered since my army days. The door to the shower on the upstairs bathroom was opened by a complicated system that must have been created by someone aimed at driving the user mad. The shower on the main floor was inoperable and had to be replaced (why are these things not checked prior to turnovers) After many years of renting Dart Valley cottages we assume that there is new management . Our family and friends will not be back

Damp and musty; tumble dryer not working. Large cobwebs. Windows full of condensation while tumble dryer working. Needs better cleaning.

We had a lovely stay at the property. It was clean just the way we like it - not so pristine that you daren't touch anything but you could feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The views from the windows were memorable, better and more visible than we expected. There were no logs in the log store but when we contacted the agents, enough for the week arrived within hours. The kitchen was very well equipped and considering we cooked a wide range of dishes, was not found wanting - although husband bemoaned the lack of dishwasher. Walks from the cottage were extensive and provided different views every few minutes and the peace and quiet was restful (perhaps not the church clock chiming the hour but we did quickly get used to that). I decided not to bring the bikes and this was a good move as I don't do hills very well at all. We enjoyed visits to Brixham, Dartmouth, Thurleston, Blackpool Sands as well as walks round and about. The weather was pleasant enough to enjoy the occasional cup of tea in the garden - it would be even better if the hedge were reduced in height to enable a view of the estuary from there.
