About this cottage rental
Summary
The Shippon is brimming with personality. Eye-catching art adorns the walls. The sleek kitchen with range-style oven and hob is perfect for family mealtimes. The relaxing and refreshing bedrooms sleep up to four. Local amenities and the river are all within walking distance. The cottage sits within Dittisham Court's four acres of communal gardens and grounds. There's private parking, and dogs are also welcome.
Accommodation
The cottage is accessed via a small set of steps to the front door. Its reverse design means the two double bedrooms are on the lower floor. The shower room on the ground floor also includes the washer-dryer. The staircase leads to the landing decorated with distinctive art and objéts. The stylishly relaxing sitting area with two sofas also features a smart TV. Behind is the dining area, which comfortably seats four, leading onto the kitchen space - sleek cabinets, large range-style oven, hob, and dishwasher. There is also a Nescafé Dolce Gusto coffee machine.
Outside, there are two allocated parking spaces. And pets are welcome to join you at The Shippon.
Nearby:
The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a 2-minute walk around the corner. The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay, where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café, as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway house and gardens, and Dartmouth. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach - a 10-minute drive away.

Shippon Cottage is in a quaint, quiet village within walking distance of the river Dart.
It was clean and warm, with an enormous and incredibly comfortable bed in the main bedroom, which also contained loads of cupboard space.
If you want to use the TV (you won’t ) be aware there are no terrestrial channels and you need your own account to access Netflix/Prime etc.
Amazing views out over the village, countryside and the river. Particularly from the outside seating area and from some of the benches and tables around the grounds. Perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine.
We found the interior very inviting and eclectic (in a good way). So much so we stayed in some evenings rather than going out to eat.
All in all, a fabulous property in a great tranquil position!

Cottage was generally excellent, it had everything that we needed. It was in a quiet location with convenient parking. We might have considered extending our stay had the weather been better.

We had a wonderful few days in Dittisham, staying in Shippon Cottage. The cottage was in a perfect location and was well equipped with everything we needed as well as being spotlessly clean and very stylish. I would definitely recommend it to others. The only small criticism is that the wifi never worked which wasn’t a problem for us but could be for others.

Great stay in a wonderful cottage in Dittisham. The Shippon is fully equipped with everything you need, including a modern kitchen and bathroom. Close to pubs and great walks, as well as the ferries to Greenway and Dartmouth. Thanks again for a great stay!
