We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are stunning. The house was very clean and provides all of the amenities that we required. Would highly recommend the house for a sea front stay.

Super location and well equipped house. 23 stairs to the top could be an issue but kept us all fit! Good to have a garden .

This is the second time we have visited DunedIn Cottage. Last year we stayed with family, this year we went with friends.
The location is superb - as long as you are fit. Parking on the beach to load / unload is easy, but you need to check the tide and be confident driving through narrow lanes. We particularly liked going on the ferry to Dartmouth, or across to Greenways, there are great walks for the dog on either side of the river - once she had got use to the ferry.
The house is perfect for groups of 6, with the garden cabin allowing seclusion, the family kitchen when we did decide to eat in, and the massive lounge with such great views.
We will be back next year.

We have stayed in Dunedin Cottage as a family several times over the last 10 years - it is in such a beautiful position on the waterfront in Dittisham - perfect for crabbing, lunch at the Anchorstone Cafe and boat trips to Dartmouth. The garden at the back is well maintained and lovely to sit in and enjoy the afternoon sun. The inside of the house is now unfortunately looking very tired and in need of a deep clean - all bathrooms need an upgrade, the sofas are dirty and the kitchen needs an uplift. Please give this beautiful house some TLC so we come again.
