Lovely location but to far from places to visit especially having only one way in and out down narrow lane got very tedious, floor very noisy to walk on when others were still in bed.

Beautiful house in the peaceful village of Dittisham. The house was perfect for a family celebration. The sitting room has large comfortable sofas and we loved the wood burning stove. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room is spacious with a large table to seat everyone. The house is well furnished and modern. The views over the river are lovely. It was fun to walk to the river to catch the ferry to Dartmouth or go crabbing. We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house and we would love to visit again.

6 / 10Average·Apr 2022
Lovely position, great views, easy parking. Dishwasher broken: advised the day before we arrived this was broken, letting agent initially offered no compensation or whether it was to be replaced during our stay. Eventually some compensation was offered on the basis it was going to replaced during our stay, this didn’t happen - again agency contacted but still no response. Generally house needs some repairs: curtains hanging off rails, shower head held up with gaffer tape, loo cisterns dripping constantly, front door latch very temperamental.
