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

Lovely cottage, great location our second stay at Orchard Cottage. Everything for a perfect holiday apart from no useable food caddy in kitchen (only a very old disgusting unusable one in the outside bin store) I went up to the estate recycling bin store and used a large grey food caddy for the duration of our stay, which was too big to keep in the house. Also conflicting information about recycling, sign in kitchen says all to go in black bags and put in outside bin store, Dart Valley information says to separate in supplied sacks (not supplied) and take to estate bin store! Hot water supply was very slow.

Dittisham is a quintessential English village nestling in the heart of the River Dart.
We have stayed before and adored the peacefulness and beautiful surroundings.
Orchard Cottage is located in a particular spot of beauty with stunning views.
Orchard Cottage was very practical for our three night stay, though I hasten to add could do with a spruce up in some areas.
The kitchen and bathroom being two of the rooms in particular.
Excellent parking and a wonderful garden added to our stay.
Dart Cottages as always offering excellent customer service!
Thank you!

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.
