Beautifully Presented Cottage for Four with Wood Burner

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.
