About this property
Enjoying captivating glimpses of the River Dart in the delightful village of Dittisham is this charming terraced cottage, 3 Glendale Cottages. This spacious accommodation is ideally placed for a family seeking to immerse themselves in all that this corner of Devon has to offer with a well-equipped base to come back to each evening. Upon entering the dwelling, you are welcomed into the contemporary-styled, open-plan living room boasting characterful beams and a charming inglenook fireplace. Find yourself cooking delicious home-cooked meals within the kitchen before gathering your loved ones at the dining table for a sociable evening. After dinner, curl up on the plush sofa with a good book in hand whilst the warmth of the woodburning stove fills the room with tranquillity before you head to bed. Once the evening has drawn to a close, head up the staircase where you can catch glimpses of the estuary with every step before you reach the two well-presented bedrooms. Here, you will find a well-presented double bedroom with a quaint window seat and a twin bedroom which is situated next to the gleaming family bathroom. To the outside, there is a small patio area where a spot of alfresco dining can be enjoyed or you can enjoy a scenic walk to the nearby pub which serves delicious food. Venture slightly further afield to the town of Dartmouth where a larger selection of amenities awaits you, as well as a waterfront with a magnitude of watersporting opportunities on offer. For those feeling slightly more adventurous, choose to walk along the iconic South West Coast Path to soak up the scenery further. 3 Glendale is an excellent choice for a family holiday to this superb area of Devon.

It was quiet and the cottage was fully equipped and very comfortable. Walking to and from the parking lot is tough because of the slope, but also very doable. A wonderful place for those seeking peace and quiet and who like to explore Devon.

The location was perfect, very peaceful and relaxing. It was lovely to wake up to views of the river each morning! The cottage was very well equipped-everything you could possible need. Decor was lovely and it was so cosy and comfy! The log burner was a lovely addition for a winter stay (bring your own logs though as we struggled to find them locally!) we had an issue with the heating on the first night and the company were so helpful, fixing it straight away even though it was out of hours! The location was fab-lovely to walk down to the ferry and pop down into Dartmouth or over to Greenaway. We even saw seals! Lovely to pop into the Ferry Boat inn as well! Couldnât recommend enough!

Despite this it is very quiet, with a small but surprisingly sunny little patio just opposite the front door. The cottage was warm and very comfortable with underfloor heating in the living area. We really appreciated the supplies (milk, butter, bread etc) which were provided for us- that is a lovely touch. Although the cottage is nearly at the bottom of the hill and parking is not on site, having stayed in Dittisham before we have solved the problem of transporting bags and groceries to the cottage by bringing a wheelbarrow with us. Parking at The Ham car park, we could then either wheel our bags along the foreshore at low tide, or via the Public Footpath when the beach is inaccessible. Definitely a result and we would recommend this to future guests! We would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone who is looking for a cosy cottage in a peaceful location near the Dart with enough amenities and ferry links close by to avoid the need to move your car all week if you don't want to. We are already looking a dates for next year.... Thank you!
