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.
Dart Valley Cottages are a very personal, excellent company to deal with. Donore Cottage (more like a small mansion!) was absolutely beautiful. So much in the cottage and kitchen very well furnished with everything needed to bake cakes, fresh coffee etc. Dittisham is a beautiful little village on the river and is so, so quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would stay here again. Joyce September 2024
We had a wonderful few days in Dittisham, staying in Shippon Cottage. The cottage was in a perfect location and was well equipped with everything we needed as well as being spotlessly clean and very stylish. I would definitely recommend it to others. The only small criticism is that the wifi never worked which wasn’t a problem for us but could be for others. Carole May 2024
Great stay in a wonderful cottage in Dittisham. The Shippon is fully equipped with everything you need, including a modern kitchen and bathroom. Close to pubs and great walks, as well as the ferries to Greenway and Dartmouth. Thanks again for a great stay! Jake March 2024
"Nice week at Shippon Cottage. Lovely clean cottage with comfy beds. Had problems with the WiFi connection which was frustrating (but now totally fixed). Well equipped bathroom. Generally would recommend" Nick - August 2023
