About this cottage rental
Summary:
1 Rock Cottage is a homely retreat for all seasons. Enjoy lazy summer afternoons in the cascading garden, overlooking the thatched roofs, Mill Creek and the lush Dart Valley beyond. The bedrooms offer stunning views of the river or ancient church, while the open-plan living area is perfect for hearty breakfasts before a day's exploring, or cosy fireside meals in the cooler months. You're perfectly placed to explore divine Dittisham and discover why captivated visitors return time and again.
Accommodation:
The front door opens to an entrance foyer with plenty of space for boots and coats. Accessed from here is the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Through into the living room are comfortable sofas for four, a TV with DVD player, a wood burner and tranquil river views. At the rear of the living room is the well-equipped modern kitchen area, with an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and microwave.
Between the kitchen and living area is a large dining room table that comfortably seats four. There is also access to the ground floor bathroom containing a bath with shower attachment.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, river views, and an en-suite shower room and WC. The second bedroom has twin beds, a built-in wardrobe, and views of the river and the quaint village church.
For stays in the colder months, there's a fantastic wood burner, with logs supplied. Storage heaters boost the warmth throughout the cottage.
Outside:
The walled garden is across the road from the front door (but don't worry, cars in Dittisham are few and far between). It's a private, sunny spot with an outdoor dining area, as well as a rolling grassy lawn looking out across the river valley.
Parking:
There is plenty of unrestricted on-street parking nearby on Riverside Road.
Nearby:
The Red Lion Inn is Dittisham's one-stop shop. As well as a cosy pub, it's also the village shop and Post Office - and it's just a minute's walk. Wander through the village to The Quay (a 10-minute walk) and you'll find the Ferry Boat Inn and its sublime river views, the popular Anchorstone Café, and frequent ferries to Dartmouth and Agatha Christie's splendid Greenway estate.

The location and the cottage in general were excellent. However on arrival we discovered that the internet was not working and that there was no phone signal inside the cottage. It was necessary to go to the garden to make a phone call. Also there were no instructions for the cooker which had a knob missing making it impossible to set the clock to allow the cooker to work properly. After numerous calls to Dart Valley cottages we gave up trying to resolve these problems as they did not seem to want to help. The cooking pans were also in need of a good clean.

The view was fantastic. However, we arrived just after the stated time to find the cleaners still there manically cleaning. Not their fault, as it seems the previous occupants had left it in a state. (We had this happen at our previous Dart Valley cottage stay).
We had to clean plates and cutlery again as they were dirty - again not the cleaners fault.
One error is there was a real lack of storage for clothes. In the main bedroom, yes there was a wardrobe but there was ample rooms under the bed for there to be storage boxes available for our clothes. The 2nd bedroom had zero storage for clothes. In fact the wardrobe was blocked by the second bed so there was no access. Oh and a super thick feather down duvet in August wasn’t the best idea- although it was England in August so the balmy summer didn’t arrive but a slimmer duvet would’ve been nice.
All said, the cottage was cosy and compact and the garden was a nice spot and extra space but the lack of a dishwasher meant people didn’t wash plates etc- why would they, they’re on holiday !
