About this cottage rental
Crooks Cottage is situated at the heart of the picture postcard riverside village of Dittisham. This 18th century fisherman's cottage has been beautifully renovated with all the homely luxuries you would expect while cleverly preserving its traditional character. The back garden is the perfect retreat for outdoor dining and enjoys outstanding views over the water. The Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Cafe are just a short stroll away right by the quayside where water sports enthusiasts can hire paddle boards and boats.
Accommodation:
From the entrance foyer with space for coats and boots, there's the stylish open-plan living space - a blend of modern-meets-retro with traditional cottage features. Two comfortable, contrasting sofas centre around the large log burner with its original stone hearth - perfect for snuggling up on those chillier winter evenings whilst watching a film on the wall mounted TV.
The chic dining table with white marble top and brushed gold legs with sumptuous velvet dining chairs comfortably seats four.
The well-equipped shaker-style kitchen has an oven and hob as well as a dishwasher, Nespresso Coffee Maker and toaster. Off the kitchen is the utility room where you will find the washing machine and tumble dryer, a small freezer, as well as the ground-floor WC. Access to the rear garden is also through this room.
Climb the stairs at the end of the day where you will find a choice of two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has a 6ft super king bed and a large wall-mounted TV. The twin bedroom has two single beds with wrought-iron bed frames, which can be configured as a superking bed, and a TV. The family bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower.
Outside:
At the back of the cottage is the paved, suntrap, courtyard garden, with an outdoor dining area that looks out over the river. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening fizz.
Parking:
The property's location means there's no parking on site, although you can briefly pull up outside to load and unload. There are two car parks in the village - at The Ham and The Level - roughly 300m away (there is a steep hill up to ‘The Level' car park) or free on-street parking on Riverside Road.

Lovely comfortable cottage with outdoor space. We really enjoyed our week stay. The cottage has everything you need. Very good overall thank you
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2024
When first entering the cottage we were disappointed with the overall appearance of the lounge.
A very uncomfortable leather sofa.
We were happy with the kitchen and the bedrooms and bed linen.
The bathroom was a problem as the water from the bath was very slo running away, and the plug didn’t fit !
The house keeper came and changed the plug which was a little better but we had to clean away the ‘gunge’ that was stopping the water running away.
Also there were two dirty towels left from the previous customer on the back of the bedroom door.
Disappointed with a poor welcome basket but I suppose it didn’t advertise there would be one,
Because we had beautiful weather for the time of year made our stay of the view from the top patio very good.
We have noticed that the property is on the market so maybe the owners are letting it go a little.
Sorry about my comments but you have persisted in asking for them.

A very clean, comfortable, well-equipped and well-positioned cottage in an idyllic setting. Loved the (dog secure) back garden with views over the Dart. Didn’t use the car all week. Lots of walking, ferry rides and pub meals. A great break. Thank you!

Positive notes Crooks cottage is a tidy, clean cottage, and has everything you need and accommodated the dog with water bowls, bedding etc and a stable door to keep dogs safe in the utility area however sadly we found Crooks Cottage a disappointing stay firstly due to its size it felt slightly over cluttered, there was only 2 of us staying with our dog i cant imagine how it would feel accommodating more people.
The garden/patio area is overlooked by the next door neighbors kitchen windows and sadly had builders in renovating this property when we stayed so it was noisy with drilling and not private to sit out side until after the builders had left.
We where woken up at 7 am each morning by a van delivering supplies to the pub each morning leaving its engine running for about 15 mins, not the fault of Crooks cottage but the location to the pub either suits people or not and is something to be considered as can be noisy.
We have stayed in Dittisham several times before however due to its size, lack of privacy and location to the pub we will not be returning to Crooks Cottage.
