About this property

Spectacular views and outstanding garden in peaceful location

Pipiriki is a fabulous, detached holiday home with truly spectacular views over the river and quayside from most rooms, as well as from the stunning garden – an acre of immaculately-landscaped lawn reaching to the riverbank. With three comfortable bedrooms for up to six guests, it's the perfect escape for couples or families wanting tranquillity while within walking distance of the village shop, inns, riverside, and the many water-borne activities on offer. Plus, there's parking for two cars.


Accommodation:

A flight of stairs leads down from the parking space to the entrance and a parquet-floor hallway with plenty of space for coats and boots. A dual-aspect lounge offers fantastic views over the river towards the quayside. With comfortable sofas, a 43" smart TV and a DVD player make this is a great spot to unwind. A sun trap conservatory again has more panoramic views of the river and has access out onto the elevated patio with a table and chairs.

The dining room with a parquet floor offers more dual-aspect views and seating for six. The ground-floor kitchen has an electric hob, an eye-level double oven with a grill, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. A utility room houses the fridge-freezer, washing machine and a cloakroom/WC with plenty of room to rinse wetsuits and wet weather gear.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed, built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers and river views, as well as an en suite shower room with a walk-in shower (there are two steps down into the shower). The second bedroom is a twin with two single beds and dual-aspect windows with more of those fabulous river views. The third bedroom features a double bed and plenty of storage space.

There is also a family bathroom on this floor with a bath and overhead shower, as well as a separate WC.

A 'z-bed' is available for an extra child.

There's electric heating throughout.


Outside:

The one-acre garden at the rear of the property is beautifully landscaped and stretches to the riverbank. Beautiful lawns and mature flowerbeds are well-kept year-round.


Parking:

At the front of the house, there is off-road parking for one car and plenty of on-road parking.


Nearby:

Both of the village pubs are an equal walk away. The Red Lion is a 10-minute walk down Riverside Road, The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and post office. A 10 minute walk across The Ham 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 also to Dartmouth.


Availability:

During peak season (May, June, July, and August) we need to keep to Friday changeovers and a minimum stay of 7 nights. However, please do contact us with any requests you may have, and we will accommodate them if at all possible.

Outside the peak season, we can be more flexible and don't need to keep to a Friday changeover.

Please get in touch if you need any advice or tips on places to visit, walks (we're right on the South West Coast Path), pubs and restaurants, etc.

Best Location
Pipiriki is an older house in the best ever loacation. The views from the windows downstairs are stunning and even if you stay in it is like you are still involved in the busy River Dart life. There is alwasys something to see, boats coming and going. Paddle boarders, kayaks passing by and little sailing boats passing back and forth. You can watch the Ferry boats come and go and watch the wading birds as the tide goes out. This can all be accessed by a gate at the bottom of the steep but lovely garden. The beds are comfy and the ensuite is great (water pressure here is good). There is everything in the kitchen you need for a holiday. Very handy also having a back room for muddy boots etc and an old belfast sink for cleaning off before entering the house. The one gripe is the water pressure to the kitchen and bathroom shower when using hot water is poor. This may be deliberate to prevent hot water wastage but frustrating when taking a shower. Windows in the dining room may need some attention as they seems permanently foggy with condensation. This does spoil a little bit of the view. All gripes aside, this is our second visit here and I would expect not our last. We love the location.

Family holiday in Pipiriki
We loved the house and garden with their magnificent views, and being able reach to the river along a short path at the bottom of the garden (we brought a paddleboard which could be launched there close to high tide). Also being so close to the centre of Dittisham, with its pubs and village shop that stocks local produce. As other reviewers have said, the house itself was a little faded, but that didn't get in the way of our enjoyment. So much to do in the area along the river and by the seaside, and fun to be able to get around by boat - but also a pleasure to spend time in the comfortable house with its views. We were a family of 5 (it might have been a bit of a squash to fit in 6 as the 3rd bedroom is quite small).

Pipiriki, a perfectly peaceful haven.
My family has stayed at Pipiriki countless times; We're always happy to arrive and sad to leave. The house feels like a home, the views are sublime, the garden is completely wonderful, and the location second to none. Its the silence, long views of River, hills and woodland; and the homely feel of Pipiriki is relaxing, it doesnt have that corporate, could be any holiday house feel, we like its home from home aspects. If the weather is inclement, we sit in the comfortable sitting rooms and watch the life on the River; One of my family said, In a changing world, Pipiriki stays the same', we cant wait to return next year.

Dittisham holiday
The accommodation was comfortable and had all the facilities and a well equipped kitchen. The views out over the river from the dining room, kitchen, lounge and conservatory were amazing. My mother-in-law of 90 years of age joined us for the week and she had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. There were just a couple of points we had a slight issue with, there were no instructions on how to use the electric hob and a hand towel in the kitchen which we had to wash as it was really smelly. We are hoping to visit again next year.
