Things To Do
Set across two floors, The Folly has a sumptuous ground level bedroom and a light, bright living space above.
In the bedroom there is a large double bed, freestanding bathtub and riverboat cuddle chair, making it a haven for those coming away to relax. From the rear of the Folly, you overlook a mini wilderness inhabited by butterflies, dragonflies, kingfishers and the very occasional otter. You might even spot a wee brown trout in the stream if you are lucky!
Upstairs you’ll find a compact but well-equipped self-catering kitchen with its own balcony, a sunny living room and a delightful south-facing balcony with views out to the tennis court and gardens.
We are more than happy for you to bring your four-legged friend along to enjoy this quiet and tranquil holiday cottage. We have two friendly Lurchers that call Fingals home, so we have lots of tried-and-tested dog walks that we’d be delighted to share with you. We do ask however, that dogs are taken with you whenever you leave the property to avoid any damage or noise disturbance for other guests.
Shared delights and location
All guests enjoy access to Fingals’ superb facilities, comprising a heated indoor pool, sauna, games room, gym and grass tennis court — plus abundant gardens, walking routes and cycling tracks to explore. The swimming pool is shared between the four properties on site and is available for guests to enjoy at any time. If you’d prefer some private swimming time, there is a simple booking system on a whiteboard outside the pool, where you can reserve an allocated private session.
The enchanting waterside village of Dittisham is just a mile away, with riverside cafés, pubs and ferries across the Dart to Greenway House, home of Agatha Christie, or downriver to Dartmouth and its historic harbour.
Whether you’re gathering for celebrations, enjoying quality time with loved ones or simply seeking a restorative escape amidst Devon’s rolling countryside, this combination of properties offers flexibility, charm and unforgettable holiday memories.
Note:
The Folly is part of a unique collection and can be booked by itself, with The Barn (Sleeps 6), Barberry Brook (sleeps 2); Wisteria Lodge (sleeps 4) to accommodate up to 14 guests or alternatively can accommodate up to 14 guests when booked as

Nearby
South Devon has long been a sanctuary for those seeking tranquillity, restorative landscapes and creative inspiration. Just across the water from us stands Greenway, the beloved holiday home of world-famous author Agatha Christie. Now cared for by the National Trust, the house and its romantic woodland gardens, vinery and peach house are open to visitors. Wandering through the grounds feels like stepping into the pages of one of her novels.
You might also enjoy exploring the 1,200-acre Dartington Trust, a unique blend of visitor destination and centre for progressive learning. At its heart is The Barn Cinema, an independent cinema set within a beautifully converted 14th-century barn in a medieval courtyard. Here you’ll find an eclectic programme of arthouse and independent films, family favourites, timeless classics and the latest blockbusters throughout the season.
Dartington also hosts a vibrant calendar of summer festivals, alongside an excellent choice of places to eat and drink. We highly recommend The White Hart, Roundhouse Cafe or The Green Table for a relaxed and memorable dining experience.
Nearby, you will find Blackpool Sands, a stunning and sheltered cove nestled on the south coast of Devon. Renowned for its striking blend of golden sand and smooth pebbles, the beach is framed by lush pine woodlands that provide both shade and a sense of seclusion. The clear, turquoise waters are ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, while the surrounding cliffs offer scenic walking routes with panoramic views of the coastline. Facilities such as a café, car park, and picnic areas make it accessible for families, yet the beach retains a peaceful, unspoiled charm that attracts nature lovers and photographers alike.
