Large family home with River Views

Lovely location but to far from places to visit especially having only one way in and out down narrow lane got very tedious, floor very noisy to walk on when others were still in bed.

Beautiful house in the peaceful village of Dittisham. The house was perfect for a family celebration. The sitting room has large comfortable sofas and we loved the wood burning stove. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room is spacious with a large table to seat everyone. The house is well furnished and modern. The views over the river are lovely. It was fun to walk to the river to catch the ferry to Dartmouth or go crabbing. We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house and we would love to visit again.

Brilliant house and location. Great customer service from the Dart Valley Cottages team too. Would recommend.

We were a family of 8( 2 children) who stayed for 6 nights at Rocket house. We had a great in such lovely accommodation in a perfect little village.

A wonderful setting for such a spacious house. So much room for our group, although we all liked squashing on the decking outside as the view was beautiful and it felt so serene out there. The rooms were all spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms for us all. Amazing to be able to walk down to the river dart for a quick dip in the morning, although a little muddy underfoot once in it felt lovely. Would love to stay again. Although, the roads are a little narrow and tricky, a more noticeable sign to the property would be good as all the party drove past it and had to reverse up the hill.

Lots of space in this property. Ideal for us as we were visiting family nearby. Good to have parking in middle of Dittisham. Enjoyed good coffee and pastries in Anchorstone each morning, right on the Dart.

Spacious “living spaces” which was important given our group size and the variable weather. Bedrooms and bathrooms entirely adequate. Ample parking a particular benefit as was an especially well equipped kitchen although refrigerator space might perhaps have been more generous. One or two small “irritations” but nothing one isn’t going to encounter in most establishments in this quality/price range in many parts of the world; however and as already pointed out to the agent: living room chair legs need repair before someone is injured; outside front door light not working. We would like to compliment the local “handyman” on his prompt (once alerted by the agent) assistance. Overall a good “consumer experience” and we would certainly consider a return visit and recommending this property to others.

Lovely position, great views, easy parking. Dishwasher broken: advised the day before we arrived this was broken, letting agent initially offered no compensation or whether it was to be replaced during our stay. Eventually some compensation was offered on the basis it was going to replaced during our stay, this didn’t happen - again agency contacted but still no response. Generally house needs some repairs: curtains hanging off rails, shower head held up with gaffer tape, loo cisterns dripping constantly, front door latch very temperamental.

Rocket House is perfect for a family, in our case family plus their partners. Location is just up from the key which meant we could carry our kayak and paddle board down to the water with ease. The pub is excellent, really friendly with great home made pizzas. Good location for getting to Dartmouth both by car or ferry, also visited Stoke Gabriel a few times both by water and car where there is the lovely River Shack cafe and restaurant. Overall difficult to beat this property.

A spacious house in a lovely position in the village. However, there was no tumble dryer which is a big draw back for families staying for a week or two. To add to the problem no washing line either and only one wooden airer. Small things that should be rectified - sink plug did not work in en suite bathroom so basin could not hold water for shaving. When taking plug out it was filthy and full of hair and black muck. Leak in basin in other ensuite (with double bed). Waxed cloth on dining room had to be scrubbed - very dirty.
