About this cottage rental
Shippon End is a mews-style barn conversion within Dittisham Court. With great character and atmosphere, this cottage is designed around uniquely quirky odd corner angles, giving it an extra charm. Local amenities and the river are all within walking distance and, even though Shippon End has no private outdoor space, guests benefit from access to the four acres of communal gardens and grounds of Dittisham Court and a private parking space. Dogs are also welcome at Shippon End.
Accommodation:
The cottage is accessed via a small set of steps to the front door which opens into a hall leading to the sitting room and dining area The smart, shaker-style kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob and oven, integrated fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. Off the hall is also a cloakroom and WC.
Downstairs, there are two bedrooms – a double with pine and oak furniture, plus a built-in wardrobe; and a twin room (please note the single beds are a little smaller than normal, at 2ft 6inches wide, so they're better suited for children rather than adults). The bathroom has an electric shower over the bath.
There's central heating throughout.
Outside, there is a private parking space for one car.

Perfect place to stay in tranquil village setting - a real bolt hole away from the business of everyday life. Great walks directly from the village and good to be able to get the foot ferry to Dartmouth. Shippon End was a good place to stay and was clean and comfortable.

Lovely few days in a favourite part of the world
Excellent little cottage, clean and tidy BUT couldn't find a teapot or cafetiere!
One small but important omission......although your manual lists a vet there is no listing for local Taxis, Dr surgery, Medical centre or hospital. ( Even The Anchor Cafe has a list of Taxis!)
Unfortunately i needed these as a small puncture wound from barbed wire wouldn't stop bleeding

We loved this cottage and its fabulous location. It has easy access to Quay and The Ham. There are several seating areas in the communal grounds to see the stunning views and take a glass of wine. It was lovely to leave the car for a few days and explore the estuary using the many boat trips available. The cottage itself is comfortable and had everything you need.

Having grown up in North Devon by the sea, there never seemed much point in travelling to South Devon. But having discovered the Dart Valley and locale, I’m hooked!
There is such a wide range of activities which are well catered for. Cycling is fantastic although you’ll need an electric bike if your not used to hills. From paddle boarding to boat hire and ferries the river and sea offer a wealth of water sports.
The cottage was a short walk or drive to all this and plenty of other more sedate attractions to.
Facilities and easy parking with lots of surrounding open space led to a stress free holiday.
