"This was our third stay in this property - it has everything we need in a wonderful setting. Thank you .Paul June 2024
Cottage very well equipped and clean and comfortable. Quiet setting. Stunning views of the Dart from the balcony." - Wooley - July 2023
"Riverview perfect for family holidays. Top floor bedroom and bathroom for grandparents, ground floor bedrooms and bathroom for the rest of the family, ideal! Super place for younger children with lots of outdoor space and fields to let off steam. Crabbing down at the Quay keeps children amused for hours while parents, etc enjoy a leisurely pint or glass of wine from the riverside pub. Plenty of places to visit, Dartmouth within easy reach both by road and water! Dittisham is a delightful village, peaceful and quiet." - Anne - October 2022
"We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again. Dittisham Court is brilliant as there are parking spaces which visitors to Dittisham will be aware are difficult to find." - Paul - Setembr 2022
"Riverview is a nice property in a great location with beautiful views of the River Dart with the added bonus of parking. For anyone who knows Dittisham this is a big plus. It's also very reasonably priced for the area." - Ball - August 2022
"Our 3rd visit to Riverview, and 12th to Dittisham. House has everything you need. Lovely views, and peace. Lots to do locally in Dartmouth and surrounding countryside. Great restaurants within walking distance - just know your tides. Can't recommend highly enough. Accommodation on 3 flours, so room to spread out." - Adele - August 2022
"It was great to return to Dittisham - we love the village. It was great to spend time on the river again and to eat at the Ferryboat Inn. This was our first stay in Riverview - great views from upstairs and always a bonus to have private parking in the village. Our daughter loved having her own floor downstairs. Everything was well maintained and comfortable for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed a very chilled week." - Jonathan - April 2022
"Beautiful cottage and well looked after by the owner. Lovely surprise to have a bunch of local flowers and a bottle of bubbly on arrival. Lovely views and a treat to sit and enjoy the a glass looking over the Dart river. Enjoyed every minute. I have used Dart Valley on three occasions previously and will do so again. Thank you all Ken Coates" - Ken - September 2021
"Riverview is in a very pleasant and quiet location. We particularly enjoyed the garden with the deck chairs and would have used the barbeque if the weather had been slightly better. The cottage is very well equipped - we appreciated the stairgate with a toddler- and it felt more like a home from home than a holiday let." - Fransetter - September 2021
"Great for our needs and lovely to come back to village. The cottage was ok but looks tired inside Crabbing excellent !" - Rob - July 2021
"The photo on the Web page doesn't do this house justice, the view from the bedroom at the top of the house is fantastic upriver along the Dart really stunning, in the mid summer evenings sunsets were great. The accommodation is really well equipped and comfortable. A very peaceful location, if you have young children a short walk (possibly half a mile) is the Ham, this also has great views of the Dart. I would definitely return as we liked it so much." - Pete - June 2021
"This was my fourth stay at Riverview. It is ideally situated for glorious walks and visiting attractions. Riverview itself is fully equipped with everything you could want making it an excellent cottage, and lovely to come back to after an energetic day walking the many beautiful paths. Lovely views down to the river and a pretty garden. Dittisham is an area of outstanding natural beauty, peaceful and friendly, a very stunning village with its undulating landscape. I am already planning my next stay at Riverview." - Susan - May 2021
"Location of this cottage is great plus the view when enjoying a glass of wine from the raised patio is superb." Susan - September 2020
"Riverview is a well located and appointed cottage, which sleeps 6 people comfortably with parking for 2 cars and somewhere on the road for a third if required.
Dittisham is a a pretty little Village on the River Dart, with 2 pubs, one Post Office (co-located with one of the pubs) and an excellent cafe. There are lots of things to do in the area. We enjoyed canoeing on the River Dart, taking a motor boat from Dartmouth up river and a coastal and valley walk. Several National Trust places are also close at hand. Overall we had a very enjoyable break and would go back" Timothy - August 2020
"Riverview was in a perfect location to explore Dartmouth and surrounding areas. Dittisham is a lovely village, Our 4 year old loved the crabbing :-) Riverview was a great base, Plenty of space for all 6 of us, my only issue was the massive tree that was blocking the views :-) but was great sitting on the bench on top of the hill watching the sun set. Will definitely look to book again." Ash - July 2020
"Fantastic 3 storey cottage in the heart of the village. Local to the shop, chip van and park/river 5 minutes walk away. Everything you need on the middle level, beautiful view of the Dart, quiet & peaceful location for the 3 of us. Car parking space near by, local supermarket 10 minutes away." Jackie - January 2020
“We really enjoyed the open plan layout of this property and the modern finish. Our only suggestion (not a negative but might persuade us to stay again) would be a double bed (4 ft would be fine) or two singles in the third bedroom rather than bunk beds. Apart from that though it had everything we needed and despite the weather we had a lovely relaxing time.” Paul – 26 October – 2 November 2019
“Lovely cottage, great views and excellent WiFi” Janette and Ian – October 2019

Recommend” Stuart – 6 October 2019

“Another great week at Riverview. The perfect place to relax and chill out” Jayne and Ian – 21-28 September 2019
“We had not visited this part of the country before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was very well situated with great views of the river dart. The property was perfect for us with plenty of space and all the comforts we needed. We were very impressed with Dittisham and were glad to be in a smaller quieter place. A perfect place to explore South Devon – walks galore, beaches, National Trust, river rides, sunsets, great local and a perfect place to come “home” to at the end of an adventure filled day. Hoping we’ll make a return trip (some time soon)” Brendan and Sarah – 14-21 September

Dittisham truly is a Devon gem. Nestled a few miles upstream from Dartmouth, this unspoiled and tranquil village is perfect for a relaxing riverside break and really makes the most of its waterside location. Watersports, fishing, sailing, paddle boarding and leisurely river rides are on your doorstep. Or why not hire a boat and explore the valley at your own pace?
On land, the shoreline meadow makes for a perfect picnic spot. Downstream by the jetty is The Ferry Boat Inn – drink and dine while enjoying picture-perfect views across the river valley beyond. It’s also where you can hire a canoe or kayak and paddle the river’s shallower waters.
Dittisham is also superbly connected by river to the Dart Valley’s must-see villages, towns, and attractions. Year-round frequent ferries take you to the historic port of Dartmouth, picturesque Kingswear and the eclectic charms of Totnes. And, just across the river on the opposite bank, a quick boat trip takes you to Agatha Christie’s resplendent Greenway holiday home and gardens, now cared for by the National Trust, and an idyllic day out.
