About this property

Family river retreat a short walk from the quay

Riverview is a superb family holiday home situated within tranquil Dittisham Court - just a short stroll to the village and riverside. Sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms, Riverview also benefits from its own private, grassy garden and allocated parking. From the open-plan kitchen and living area, the French doors open onto a private balcony with sublime views of the river and distant Dartmoor - also seen from the master bedroom, too. We're sorry, but pets are not allowed at Riverview.


Accommodation:

The front door opens into the ground floor hall with space for boots and coats. Two bedrooms on this floor overlook the garden. The first has a king-size bed, while the second is a bunk room, both with wardrobe and a chest of drawers for storage. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor with a bath, overhead shower and WC. Guests will also find the washer-dryer in the family bathroom.

Upstairs, there is the open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. The cream kitchen is complete with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The lounge area has two sofas, two armchairs, a wood burner, a TV and a DVD player. The dining table seats six and looks out over the garden and countryside towards the river via the patio doors out to a small balcony. There is additional seating on the balcony for enjoying a morning coffee with steps down to the garden.

Upstairs again takes you to the light and airy en-suite master bedroom in the eaves of the house, with a kingsize bed, blue-painted furniture, The en-suite has a bath with overhead shower. This floor also has an additional single bedroom.

There's central heating and a wood burner for comfort (logs can be purchased locally).


Outside:

At the rear of the property, there is a private grassy garden from which you have views over Dittisham Mill Creek and various aspects of the river Dart. Dittisham Court itself is set in four acres of grassy communal grounds including a small orchard containing plum and apple trees.


Parking:

There is a loading bay at the front of the house with two allocated car parking spaces a few metres away.


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.

River view, Dittisham
We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again. Dittisham Court is brilliant as there are parking spaces which visitors to Dittisham will be aware are difficult to find.

Great location.
Riverview is a nice property in a great location with beautiful views of the River Dart with the added bonus of parking. For anyone who knows Dittisham this is a big plus. It's also very reasonably priced for the area. There were a few maintenance issues when we stayed though and the main bathroom could do with some attention which is a shame as we would definitely have stayed here again otherwise.

Lovely cottage in stunning village
Our 3rd visit to Riverview, and 12th to Dittisham. House has everything you need. Lovely views, and peace. Lots to do locally in Dartmouth and surrounding countryside. Great restaurants within walking distance - just know your tides. Can't recommend highly enough. Accommodation on 3 flours, so room to spread out.

Return visit to our favourite place
It was great to return to Dittisham - we love the village. It was great to spend time on the river again and to eat at the Ferryboat Inn. This was our first stay in Riverview - great views from upstairs and always a bonus to have private parking in the village. Our daughter loved having her own floor downstairs. Everything was well maintained and comfortable for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed a very chilled week.

Riverview
Excellent accommodation in peaceful and beautiful Dittisham. Perfect for crabbing and a short drive to Blackpool Sands. A visit to Dartmouth/Salcombe and Agatha Christie's home (Greenway) just across the river by ferry, a must.
