About this property

Charming cottage, modern living with original features, perfect private garden

The Nook is in a truly peaceful, 'chocolate box' location. Perfect for one couple or a small family to relax in this beautiful riverside village and explore the wider South Hams. A very pretty holiday cottage, this Grade II-listed building is about 350 years old and has been lovingly renovated to a wonderful standard, combining modern living with lots of original cottage features to ensure a very comfortable stay year-round. The open-plan living area is a charming space with an exposed stone fireplace and painted beams making the cosy room feel light and airy. Upstairs the master bedroom keeps the cute cottage theme going and the second bedroom with a single bed and futon for younger families sharing. There is a private garden at the rear for alfresco dining in the summer and a log burner for chillier winters, there is also private parking for one car and the village amenities are a short walk away.


Accommodation:

The cottage can be entered from the front door on Lower Street or from the parking at the rear via the patio. The front door opens from the road into the hallway with space for coats and boots as well as a general storage cupboard. Through to the living room, a light and airy space, beautifully furnished, very much with comfort in mind. With white-washed walls, oak flooring and exposed beams to set the ambience. The lounge area is centred around the large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, two sofas and an armchair as well as a window seat. There's a TV with DVD player, with included premium TV channels (BT TV). The dining area has a prettily painted dining table and chairs.

A doorway and hatch lead through to the kitchen which overlooks the back garden. The slate-floored, shaker-style kitchen is well stocked for mealtimes, and also houses an integrated washer-dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven and halogen hob, and microwave. From the kitchen, a stable door leads to the patio garden and the parking.

A traditional curved stairway leads up to the first floor from the lounge. The master bedroom maintains the cute cottagey feel and is furnished with a painted oak kingsize bed with side tables, plenty of storage space and a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a single bed and a single futon.

The modern bathroom has a bath with an electric shower over, and a heated towel rail.

This cottage may not be suitable for small children or the elderly. Please call for more information.

There's central heating and a wood burner (logs are provided for winter bookings).

You're welcome to bring one small dog with you, too


Outside:

The Nook benefits from a delightful, private suntrap garden with river views - an idyllic spot to watch the sunset. This area is laid to gravel with flowerbeds and has plenty of seating.


Parking:

There is a parking space behind the cottage.


Nearby:

The village pub The Red Lion Inn is a two-minute walk up the road. The Red Lion Inn 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 also Dartmouth.

The Nook Dittisham
We had a very enjoyable stay in the The Nook cottage, which had the added benefit of off road parking and a very sunny garden. Only negatives to stop us gaving a 5 star rating was the extractor fan in bathroom did not work, also huge build of dust on bathroom lights. The internet was always droping out even when close to router. We arrived with the washing up liquid empty. We would still recommend the cottage and will book again. Martyn

Lovely cottage but housekeeping was a let down
The Nook is a comfortable cottage in a lovely location but attention to detail was sadly lacking. Bedding had not been changed, with dirty sheets and a previous occupant's belongings in one of the beds. This was rectified the next day. We also found dirty crockery, cups, cutlery and equipment in drawers, there were missing essential kitchen items (baking tray), and a broken bath tap. Parking and recycling instructions were unclear and / or contradictory. When you're paying hotel prices for self-catering I think you shoudn't expect these issues to arise and it was disappointing they did. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay. The village was quiet, picturesque and friendly (the Red Lion being a notable outlier here) with the whole of the lovely Dart estuary on your doorstep. My recommendation comes on the proviso that cleaning and housekeeping are improved.

Loved our stay
The customer service from Dart Valley was excellent throughout and they always responded to questions. The Nook was welcoming and fully equipped. Despite being an old building the cottage was charming and comfortable with ample room for 4 people, it was also lovely to have the garden to sit outside in the sunshine. The village itself was a delight. We loved our early morning walks with the dog down to the harbour, enjoyed a boat trip to Dartmouth and some lovely evenings in the FBI pub where we were made to feel welcome. This was our first time using Dart valley cottages and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

Fantastic little cottage
The Nook is the sweetest little cottage by the church on the quietest of lanes. So peaceful. You can glimpse the river from the back of it through the trees but otherwise it’s a quick 10 min walk down to the foreshore. Although small It’s got everything you need and a lovely little setting for table & chairs outside we had our breakfast there in the morning sun. Very cosy stay we loved it and will definitely be coming back. Very well organised and efficient team at dart valley cottages.

6/10 Okay

Dirty upon arrival
The cottage had not been cleaned when we arrived and apparently Dart Valley Cottages have no system to check whether cleaning has been done or not. The hot water was not working and the cottage needs a thorough appraisal by the agents, things have clearly been left to drift. For example, even the agents do not seem to be aware of the correct refuse and recycling instructions. There are broken door latches, a broken glass lantern in the garden, shabby and old outdoor cushions etc. I could go on. We have stayed at this cottage before without any problems, but this time we came away disappointed.
