Nestled in the heart of Dittisham, this cottage promises a tranquil retreat for two. Small in size, it still packs a punch and has everything needed for a comfortable stay – just mind your head on those sloping ceilings and beautiful beams. While there’s no parking right outside the door here, Riverside Road has on-street spaces available and a stroll through the idyllic lanes is no hardship with the surrounding scenery to enjoy. For days out further afield, Dartmouth is a short ferry ride away.
