Riverview is a superb family holiday home situated within tranquil Dittisham Court – just a short stroll to the village and riverside. Sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms, Riverview also benefits from its own private, grassy garden and allocated parking. From the open-plan kitchen and living area, the French doors open onto a private balcony with sublime views of the river and distant Dartmoor – also seen from the master bedroom, too. We're sorry, but pets are not allowedat Riverview.


Accommodation:

The front door opens into the ground floor hall with space for boots and coats. Two bedrooms on this floor overlook the garden. The first has a king-size bed, while the second is a bunk room, both with wardrobe and a chest of drawers for storage. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor with a bath, overhead shower and WC. Guests will also find the washer-dryer in the family bathroom.

Upstairs, there is the open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. The cream kitchen is complete with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The lounge area has two sofas, two armchairs, a wood burner, a TV and a DVD player. The dining table seats six and looks out over the garden and countryside towards the river via the patio doors out to a small balcony. There is additional seating on the balcony for enjoying a morning coffee with steps down to the garden.

Upstairs again takes you to the light and airy en-suite master bedroom in the eaves of the house, with a kingsize bed, blue-painted furniture, The en-suite has a bath with overhead shower. This floor also has an additional single bedroom available by request.

There's central heating and a wood burner for comfort (logs can be purchased locally).


Outside:

At the rear of the property, there is a private grassy garden from which you have views over Dittisham Mill Creek and various aspects of the river Dart. Dittisham Court itself is set in four acres of grassy communal grounds including a small orchard containing plum and apple trees.


Parking:

There is a loading bay at the front of the house with two allocated car parking spaces a few metres away.

Please note: the single bed is only available by request


Nearby:
The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a 2-minute walk around the corner. The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway house and gardens, and Dartmouth.

    What we liked: The view Comfortable beds The bottle of bubbly, and toilet rolls etc. left for us What was not so good: - The bed in the smallest room had not been made up and there was no bedding available to enable me to make it. I tried to call the Housekeeping Team using the number in the handbook but it said the number was unavailable. I eventually managed to speak to Julie at Dart Valley Cottages and although Julie did manage to sort out the issue in the end, I did feel as though I was the inconvenience which was a little disappointing! We were given sheets later that day and I made up the bed myself - there was no offer for anyone to make it. - The shower in the upstairs bathroom is very difficult to use as you cannot stand up in the bath due to the ceiling sloping - It looked as though the floor under the sofas hadn't been cleaned in a while (I wasn't on my hands and knees looking but you could see the detritus from the opposite seats) - The floor of the bunk bed room was not particularly clean - I was unable to open the window in the smallest room - this would be a real issue in hot weather - The floor mats in the main living area have no grips on the bottom and were very slippery and potentially dangerous

    Fabulous views from upstairs windows and very relaxing location. Very steep hills in places, be warned, the walk via public footpath slightly easier when coming up the hill from the harbour. Water taxi into Dartmouth really convenient just ring or email them and they will pick you up from Dittisham. The Ferry boat inn has a limited menu but food is good quality beer a bit pricey though. Greenway is easily accessible via the ferry, just ring the bell!

    Riverview perfect for family holidays. Top floor bedroom and bathroom for grandparents, ground floor bedrooms and bathroom for the rest of the family, ideal! Super place for younger children with lots of outdoor space and fields to let off steam. Crabbing down at the Quay keeps children amused for hours while parents, etc enjoy a leisurely pint or glass of wine from the riverside pub. Plenty of places to visit, Dartmouth within easy reach both by road and water! Dittisham is a delightful village, peaceful and quiet.

    We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again. Dittisham Court is brilliant as there are parking spaces which visitors to Dittisham will be aware are difficult to find.
