Pet Friendly, Tranquil, 2 Bedrooms

Visited Dittisham on lots of occasions and have stayed in numerous properties through Dart Valley Cottages, all of which have been great. Unfortunately Damson Cottage was not of the same standard. Whilst the property was functional, well equipped and in a great location it would benefit from some general maintenance and redecoration.

Lovely, light airy cottage with sunny patio area. Good size lounge-diner with plenty of comfortable seating. New kitchen, quite well equipped. Spacious bedrooms and shower room in main bedroom is a bonus, good, hot showers. Easy walk to the pub on river dart, pub at top of village that contained a shop is all now closed unfortunately. Safe enclosed patio good for dogs but they have to be put on a lead to go into the garden area which is open to neighbours and into orchard beyond.

Comfy cottage with easy parking and well equipped. Could do with a little maintaining in certain areas e.g rear patio doors couldn’t be bolted and in the garden.

Beautiful area to stay in. Damson cottage was perfectly adequate for our needs. Fairly comfortable but would benefit from a blind in the kitchen, a rug that lies flat in the living room (trip hazard) a higher bed with a deeper mattress in the main bedroom. Additionally some leaflets about places to visit and more information on the local area would be helpful. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen and everywhere was clean and tidy. An enjoyable stay.

Had a lovely time at damson cottage; would definitely stay there again and recommend it. Only thing I found missing was a hair dryer which I had forgotten to bring. Lovely location and very quiet.

Great location with parking right outside - very handy in Dittisham. Easy access to the water (at high tide) a 5 minute walk down the hill. Easy access to the pontoon for boats to Dartmouth and the Ferry Boat Inn (FBI) / Anchorstone Cafe. Great pizzas at the FBI.

A brilliant little cottage in a fantastic location, easy access to great beaches and just a short walk to the Ham with its pubs as well as a short boat ride over to Dartmouth. We are originally from Devon so knew that Dittisham would be a great base, but for anyone unfamiliar with the South Hams we couldn’t recommend the location enough. The cottage itself was perfect for us as a couple with our small dog. The enclosed patio area made it easy for her to have safe outdoor access and the cottage was well equipped for having her with us. Damson Cottage was wonderfully clean and we were really impressed by the amount and breadth of facilities supplied in the cottage. Where other rentals usually fall down, we found Damson Cottage to be really well stocked in the kitchen particularly, but also with an iron, hairdryer etc. The cottage was a little tired in places. Whilst the kitchen was very modern, some of the furniture upstairs in particular was a little more aging and there were a few places that would benefit from a refresh. However for the money that we paid, which was incredibly reasonable compared to other similar rentals, we wouldn’t complain. The value for money that this cottage offered can’t be understated. All in all thanks for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back!

Dittisham is a lovely village with lots going on.we’ve been coming her for nearly 30 years and Damson cottage didn’t disappoint. Perfect for the four of us and the dog. Well appointed and clean. It did help that the weather was amazing this week!

Damson Cottage was a good base for a family of 3 with a 3 year old. Shop pub, playground, ferry to Dartmouth and Greenways, and the Ham by the River an easy stroll away. 15 minute drive to town, bit further to beaches etc. It has a good layout so you have windows to patio, TV, and kitchen hatch so can enjoy home comforts and feel you are away in Devon at the same time. Enjoy!

Great cottage in a fantastic location with parking. Just what we wanted. One point deducted for cleaning due to kitchen lighting greasy, kitchen clock on wall not working. Everything else spotless. Need 4 wine glasses in a cottage that sleeps 4. There were only two. All very minor.
