It's a nice house, the instructions were very clear and we had no problems at all on the first day or the last day. We enjoyed this house very much.

Stunning location, very friendly village and enjoyed being right in the centre of the comings and goings. Real sense of community among the cottages and the pub and the cafe. The crabbing off the pontoon is brilliant. The ferry from the village to Dartmouth is perfect length of time and Dartmouth is of course brilliant. Pub had great atmosphere with people over spilling to the beach and Thursday night pub quiz. Cafe lovely with great coffee and food. Sitting outside the cottage day and night was very relaxing and got to know the neighbours. Cottage has everything you need and very comfortable. Really pretty walk either on beach or through village to a riverside park which is great for children and dogs. Few tips: 1. You can get crabbing items from village store or from cafe. 2. A small dog can get under the front gate so needs extra barricading. 3. The boat hire company in the village was closed for the week we were there in the middle of August so check the website.

An unforgettable stay. The location in Dittisham is unrivalled. A Stone's throw from the FBI and the cafe and the ferry, you don't have to use th car unless you want to go to the beach. The outside terrace at the front is brilliant and so peaceful with amazing views of the river.
