Wonderful view from this cottage up the Dart Estuary. Dittisham is a lovely village and location. Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the garden. Liz September 2024

We enjoyed our few days very much. The cottage was perfect, spotlessly clean and tidy, and had everything we needed including a hot water bottle hidden in the wardrobe! Sally August 2024


We had a lovely few days in Dittisham. The cottage was very well maintained and served as a perfect base to explore the local area Mark Aug 2024

"We had a lovely stay at the property. It was clean just the way we like it - not so pristine that you daren't touch anything but you could feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The views from the windows were memorable, better and more visible than we expected. There were no logs in the log store but when we contacted the agents, enough for the week arrived within hours. The kitchen was very well equipped and considering we cooked a wide range of dishes, was not found wanting - although husband bemoaned the lack of dishwasher. Walks from the cottage were extensive and provided different views every few minutes and the peace and quiet was restful (perhaps not the church clock chiming the hour but we did quickly get used to that). I decided not to bring the bikes and this was a good move as I don't do hills very well at all. We enjoyed visits to Brixham, Dartmouth, Thurleston, Blackpool Sands as well as walks round and about. The weather was pleasant enough to enjoy the occasional cup of tea in the garden - it would be even better if the hedge were reduced in height to enable a view of the estuary from there." - TJAMover - October 2021

"A lovely view from every window greeted me each day and the cottage was well situated for the local amenities and to enter and leave the village. In Dittisham there are walks, eating out and quayside activities if you want to take a leisurely holiday. Further afield there are plenty of places to see though the road in and out of the village takes a bit of getting used to! When the evenings became a bit cooler the wood burner really came into its own and it made the cottage very cosy!" - Lyndsey - September 2021

"This cottage is situated at the high point of the village, giving it excellent views from every window. But fear not, the pub is literally around the corner - and you can stock up on an impressive variety of groceries there, too. (The pub also do pub food, and the fish-and-chips rivalled what I was served in a fancy Brixham eatery.) We arrived by public transport and made good use of ferries, taxis a few times — and our feet. It’s a wonderful walk into Dartmouth offering superb views especially at the site of an historic signal tower, when you suddenly take in Torbay. This walk mixes very little with cars and comes into the top of Dartmouth giving again stupendous views. The walk can rightly be described as “arduous” but I suspect that those locals who regularly do it wouldn’t think so. We also walked to Totnes taking in Sharpham winery and again this walk — longer — offers terrific scenery. Do phone ahead well in advance if you fancy booking a table at Sharpham. (There is a take-away option for meals you can eat at picnic tables, which worked fine for us.) NT Greenway across from Dittisham (“Ditsum” in the vernacular) is a must. The stewards are well up on the history of this house and it’s well worth asking about its history including the WW2 billeting of US Coast Guard personnel). Note: do not miss the last ferry to Ditsum or you're facing an expensive and unplanned visit to Totnes onto Ditsum by taxi. There is wildlife here. Wardens see seals down by the boat house and I saw a kingfisher. The walk from Greenway to Dartmouth (via the ferry at Kingswear) is good by national standards but not a patch on walks the other side of the river. A visit to Colton Fishacre is the highlight imo. You can walk a round from Kingswear, inland one side and coastal path the other. This is also not un-arduous. But if our 6-year-old can do, lots of you can too. Colton Fishacre NT offers gorgeous gardens and the house itself is great too. In sum: Enjoy this cottage, enjoy the area, and leave the car at home!" - Scott - September 2021

"A very good week spent in this most special part of The Hams. The house is functional,homely and unpretentious. Parking locally extremely easy." - Diane - July 2021

"Another very happy week spent at Rock Cottage. Charming, well equipped and an ideal place to unwind. Dittisham is also lovely and the little shop/pub across the road is a very handy little plus. We've grown very attached to Rock Cottage and can't wait to return." - S Hunt - July 2021

"A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Very comfortable with everything you need. Very quiet village, but with 3 good places to eat. Hired a boat from Dartmouth, walked the Dart Valley Trail and visited Agatha Christie’s house across the river. Found everyone very friendly. Would thoroughly recommend !" - Jo - May 2021
