About this cottage rental
Orchard Cottage is a delightful, south-facing holiday cottage in Dittisham Court. It's perfect for a romantic stay or a small family holiday in this lovely riverside village. Enjoy the sunny, private patio with village views, and access to an orchard of Dittisham plum, flowering cherry, apple, and willow trees. The river and village amenities are all in walking distance. There's access to four acres of communal grounds and one allocated parking space right outside. Dogs are welcome, too.
Accommodation:
The entrance hall takes you to the open-plan living area with a sofa and armchairs, log-effect fire, TV, DVD, and CD player. French doors fill the room with light and lead out onto the private patio. The dining area seats four guests.
The shaker-style kitchen is very well equipped with an electric oven and hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave. A serving hatch connects the two rooms. Also, on the ground floor off the entrance hall is a small cloakroom with a WC.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms - the light and airy master bedroom looks out over the orchard towards the village and a twin room at the front. It features a kingsize bed, a built-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room. The twin bedroom also has a built-in wardrobe. There is also a recently refurbished family bathroom featuring a bath with an electric overhead shower.
A travel cot and highchair are available on request.
There's central heating throughout.
The coffee machine is a Nespresso Vertuo

Located at the top of the beautiful village in a small private development, this comfortable modern ‘cottage’ style property with parking made our stay easy and practical.
Great location to explore the stunning area but a solid climb back up the hill should you walk down to the wonderful local pub, The Ferry Boat Inn (FBI). However the views of the River Dart make the walk worthwhile.
Additional ‘home’ comforts such as blankets, local interest books and the odd board game would benefit the property, but these are personal preferences. It is worth noting the village community shop opens in the morning only and is a great asset, but make sure you bring some extra rations with you, just in case you want some extra choices.
We absolutely loved our stay and communication throughout was excellent.

We've used dart valley cottages before and they never disappoint.
This cottage is stunning and brought back lots of childhood memories for my mum.
The cottage itself is perfect, the grounds are gorgeous and the location is ideally situated for us.
Will definitely be returning, thank you.

The cottage was beautifully clean and tidy and the location is excellent for exploring the South Hams however the court was not peaceful at all during the late evening with neighbours coming in between 11pm and midnight and calling their dog loudly which is let out to poo all over the orchard which is left and not picked up (not good when children like to play out there). The building work on that property then starts at 8am with the builders arriving before that. Also the shower is very noisy and so is the shower of the adjoining cottage when used very late at night! The water pressure was very variable, sometimes good but often going to a trickle, making the shower difficult to use at all. All in all we definitely wouldn’t return to this Court.
