About this house rental
Ollie's Cottage is a vibrant family home and a breath of fresh air for families or couples seeking a memorable self-catering holiday in this special part of South Devon. Cleverly arranged over three floors, Ollie's Cottage captures river views from the kitchen and living room and benefits from a private patio and parking at the rear. Ollie's Cottage is within walking distance of the river with its picnic-perfect meadow and all the village amenities. Dogs are also welcome at Ollie's Cottage.
Accommodation:
From the hallway, step into the bright, open-plan kitchen/dining room - equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The dining area has a pine table and chairs. French windows from the dining area lead into an enclosed paved patio. Downstairs, there is also a cloakroom with WC.
The first floor has a comfortable sitting room with a corner sofa, views of the river, an open fire, and a Smart TV. At the far end of the room, separated by room dividers, there is one single divan bed. There's also a spacious bathroom containing a bath with an overhead shower.
Upstairs again to the second floor, there are two bedrooms set into the eves of the cottage. The first is a large, attractive double bedroom. The second is a small bedroom, ideal for children, and contains a single bed and roof window.
A travel cot is available.
There are storage heaters and electric heating, plus an open fire (coal and logs can be purchased locally).
Outside:
The patio garden at the rear of the property is the perfect space for al fresco dining on summer evenings - it's fully enclosed, with garden furniture and flowerbeds.
Parking:
There is parking to the rear in the shared private car park and additional unrestricted on-street parking on Riverside Road.
Nearby:
The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a two-minute walk around the corner (don't worry, it is not known to be noisy). The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay, where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café, as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway house and gardens, and also Dartmouth.
Please get in touch if you need any advice or tips on places to visit, walks (we're right on the South West Coast Path), pubs and restaurants, etc.

A well-equipped, clean and comfortable cottage. The parking was easy and all instructions in the guidelines were clear.
As a dog owner, I was a little disappointed that dogs had to stay on the ground floor, as the sitting room, television etc are on the first floor. This was my only quibble.
I recommend leaving the car and travelling by ferry whenever possible. Stress free, beautiful views and you get a real sense of the wonderful landscape.
Take time to step out on a clear night, the stars are amazing!
Would definitely recommend.

This was an ideal location for us to base ourselves. We could walk to the quay easily and explore Dittisham and also travel quickly to Dartmouth, Totnes and some of our other favourite places. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable to stay in.

We have stayed in Oli’s Cottage more than 5 times over successive years. We love it and will be sad when it is sold, although we understand the pressures on B&B landlords. It is beautifully positioned. It is very well equipped and we appreciate the selection of herbs and other things in the kitchen cupboards. We will book again next year if we can. Thank you very much for yet another lovely holiday

Idyllic cottage in Dittisham. Peaceful comfortable and clean. Recommend self catering because local pub doesn't serve food and nearest other eateries down a very steep hill and not serving food on Monday or Tuesday evening. Most local attractions can only be accessed using narrow and steep country lanes but well worth the effort as this is a beautiful part of Devon. Highly recommend river cruise to Dartmouth!!
