Character Cottage with Superb River Views
Curlew Cottage is a picturesque holiday cottage with stunning views of the river and surrounding valley from the garden, conservatory, and master bedroom. In the delightful waterside village of Dittisham, Curlew is pet friendly and perfectly equipped for four guests to enjoy a relaxing self-catering holiday. It's just a short walk to the village and the quay, where you can catch the ferries to Dartmouth and Greenway or stay and enjoy the locally renowned Anchorstone Café and Ferry Boat Inn.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into a small entrance hall with space for coats and boots and leads to a cosy lounge with a brick fireplace and open fire, a sofa and two armchairs, and a TV with DVD.
Steps down from the lounge lead to the very well-equipped kitchen-diner, with a tiled floor, oven, hob and extractor, integrated fridge-freezer, microwave, and dining area. A door from the kitchen opens into the conservatory with an additional dining area and views over the garden and river. The conservatory also houses the washer-dryer.
A narrow, twisting staircase from the sitting room takes you up to the two bedrooms and a bathroom. The en-suite master bedroom has fantastic views of the river and features an iron bedstead. There is a small adjoining dressing room.
The second bedroom has twin iron beds and a feature fireplace. The family bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower. There's also a small WC at the bottom of the stairs.
There's electric heating and an open fire. One basket of logs is provided between October and the end of April.
