Fabulous cottage, fantastic location all round great stay. The pub, estuary and ferry to Dartmouth only 50 metres down the road. PS the Dogs also loved it.Michael September 2024

A very clean, comfortable, well-equipped and well-positioned cottage in an idyllic setting. Loved the (dog secure) back garden with views over the Dart. Didn’t use the car all week. Lots of walking, ferry rides and pub meals. A great break. Thank you! August 2024

Excellent location. Close to everything, including the car park. Couldn't fault the accommodation. Very comfortable beds and had everything you would need.Julie August 2024

Amazing stay loved it . Thank u so much Natasha Aug 2024

This is our second time staying with dart valley cottages and again absolutely fantastic service. Crooks cottage is very sweet in a perfect location a stones throw from the pub and the cafe and the water . It’s tiny but got everything you need and amazing little garden out the back with view of the water. We loved our stay. Candida July 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed our short break (despite the indifferent weather) and our granddaughter loved the cottage too. Very thoughtful to provide crabbing buckets and lines and and the crabbing was the highlight of our stay. Nice touches with Easter decorations on the door and Easter Eggs in our welcome pack. Would love to return in better weather and to be able to more enjoy the lovely outside space with stunning views. Janet April 2024

Crooks cottage is a lovely
Cosy cottage just seconds from beautiful Dittisham waterfront, with stunning views of the water from the garden terrace. The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay and the bed linen was superb quality! Katy Jan 2024

"Dittisham is probably my favourite place in the world hence booking Crooks Cottage due to its great location and little garden. Loved our stay, the cottage was quaint with a botanical twist! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked & the overall experience was gorgeous. However perhaps the best thing was the customer service. Dart Valley Cottages were superb to deal with, genuinely interested in making our stay perfect & I can’t thank them enough." - Karla April 2023

"Fantastic location - only a short walk for food and drink! Pet friendly cottage with amazing views over the River Dart from the patio. Highly recommend." - Phil - September 2022

"Comfy, high spec, gorgeous views and quiet. Great being close to the quay, pub and cafe and ferry. Quite steep hill" - Guy - July 2022

"One of the nest ever places we have stayed. Beautifully and sympathetically furnished stylishly appointed and making the most of space. From the moment we stepped in we felt relaxed and the guidelines for usage were just that, sensible respectful and encouraging of a shared experience in a beautiful space. We were a bit disrupted for 3 hours one morning with a workman coming in to lay a floor but I guess damage happens and needs repairing. A lovely week's stay messing about on the river!" - Whitesocks - September 2021

"Wonderful renovation of a fisherman’s cottage with lovely outside space- everything well thought out and all home comforts, great WiFi , comfy sofas and an extremely equipped kitchen.Easy to pop to the FBI and the pontoon to watch all the action ! One small suggestion would be to put some under bed storage in the second bedroom- just a pull out drawer would be great to help organise luggage . We would book this little gem again no question" - Christine - August 2021

"Wonderful location central to Dittisham. Loved the Emma Shipley decor, felt we were living in someone’s home rather than a rental. Only quibble was the dining table due to the base, quite small for 4 persons, however borrowed a table from friends in the village and problem solved. Would rebook for next year definitely." - Belza - August 2021

"The cottage is well maintained and comfortable. It is important to know that the ceiling height in the living room and doorways are very low. The beds and sofas were extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Excellent washing machine and dryer. Lovely outside space despite being overlooked. We found there was very little space to store our own things in the kitchen and some extra shelves would help. The cupboard for guests provisions was tiny. We also found that many of the surfaces in the living room and bedroom had ornaments on them which we removed for fear of breakage and also as we needed to use the space. We also found that the seating area in the sitting room for having meals was very difficult to sit around as we couldn't tuck our legs under the table. Dart Valley cottages gave exceptional service when we had an unforseeable problem in the cottage at the beginning of our stay." - Alex - August 2021

"We spent a lovely week at Crooks Cottage in Dittisham, very much helped by the absolutely amazing weather for the entire week! We have been coming to Dittisham for almost 15 years and have stayed in various properties; we found Crooks Cottage to be a beautiful cottage, very clean with a garden that had the most lovely views over the River Dart. It's a convenient cottage for all that Dittisham has to offer, especially being a stones throw from the fabulous Anchorstone Cafe, where we ate most days - either eating at the cafe, or taking advantage of their takeaway service. The FBI pub is also very close by - they are doing really delicious take away pizzas! The cottage has pretty much everything you would need for a self-catering holiday, but we would have liked a cafetière rather than a coffee machine, which we just didn't get on with - maybe something to think about. We really appreciated the welcome basket, and the disposable BBQ - a lovely touch. The one thing that would probably prevent us booking Crooks Cottage again was the extremely low head height of almost ALL the downstairs doorways. We really feel this should be pointed out in the description of the property, as it is in some other property descriptions. Both me and my daughter are 6 ft tall and we both hit our heads pretty hard on a couple of occasions when walking from the utility room & garden, back into the kitchen - this doorway is very low, and even my wife who is 5ft 5 hit her head once here! It's easy to forget to duck sometimes!" - Jackie - June 2021

"We had a wonderful week in crooks cottage. The property was great for our little family of four. The location is brilliant. The garden was a wonderful place for breakfast every morning and watching the river." - Mette - June 2021

"Crooks Cottage was lovely - great location. The garden was definitely the plus point with wonderful estuary views. A few comments - didn't realise there was no freezer, we were bringing frozen dog food so that's just a minor point. The main bedroom is lovely but gets very hot, an addition of a fan would be really welcome." - Cuniffe Family - 2021

"We were very lucky to have booked this cottage. It was absolutely perfect for a half term break with the family. The cottage it’s self had everything you could have wanted and more. I just hope everyone respects the nice finishing touches the owners have provided. The only minor negative thing is the road in and out of the village and the actual road down to the cottage. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. The ferry to Dartmouth from the beach is also a good day out. It’s worth every penny!" - Mark - November 2020

"Cottage was faultless,everything we needed and the location was great ,boat taxis ,ferries readily available to Dartmouth ,just up the river... Lovely village and walks..." Mark - September 2020
