Quintessential English Cottage close to Dittisham Quay

Perfect four bedroomed cottage for four mates on a golf trip couple of smashing pubs in walking distance or another just a couple of miles away lovely friendly people

If you are looking for a relaxing, comfortable and picturesque place for your holiday, this is the one! A family of 6-7 people is suitable as there are activities for all ages. If very old age, the hills are a little steep but there are many other things to do in the area. Highly recommend!

The cottage and garden were lovely and although a perfect location for us, the climb up from the quay is very steep. One or two issues. Would have been helpful to have notification when the gardener would be coming as we left many valuables in the house and it seemed clear that he had been inside (to use electricity) whilst we were out. Secondly, I emailed Dart Valley Cottages the day before bin collection because there was food remains (including fish bones) loose in the bin which was attracting bugs. The bin was emptied OK but it would have been useful to have some acknowledgement or response to my email from Dart Valley Cottages.

Donore is a beautiful cottage set over a great garden which always has flowers blooming away and a useful spot at the bottom where you can curl up with a book !

Donore is in an excellent position in the village of Dittisham. It is a very spacious house, ideal for a larger family although we love it just for the 2 of us. From the garden terrace there are fine views over Dittisham lake (part of the river). This was our 37th week of staying at Donore. However, a few things have lapsed: there was fluff on the carpet (caused by carpet mites, I believe) in the snug on the adjacent wall to the kitchen which was there last September, the large frying pan had been used and put away dirty, the oven is very dirty considering it is only a year or so old. Although probably caused by previous guests, surely the house keeper should pick this up.

We enjoyed our stay; the cottage is well placed, warm and well equipped. We had to contact customer services about a few things including a shower that did not work, a number of missing light bulbs etc. The cottage could have been cleaner in places. The beds were very comfortable.

This was a charming old cottage in the village of Dittisham. Very warm when heating was on but a shame the woodburner was for show and didn’t work. There was also No welcome pack on arrival which we missed Also a shame we couldn’t see the river As tall trees were in the way ! However although it’s an old property we did enjoy our week. Certainly less hectic and busy than the village can be in the summertime

We have stayed in this cottage many times and we love the village and South Hams . There is plenty to do locally.

Great place to stay, will use again. The house has great facilities and loads of room downstairs for family activities

2 Excellent weeks in Donore. The weather was excellent. A very comfortable, spacious house in a quiet, friendly village. Ideally situated for walking, sightseeing and reaching the south Devon coast. Close by are a number on NT properties.
