Charming, Characterful, Glorious Views From The Garden, Dittisham

Devon. Sleeps up to 4

Crooks Cottage is a newly renovated holiday home with all the homely luxuries you would expect while cleverly preserving this traditional Devon cottage's character. The back garden is the perfect retreat for outdoor dining and outstanding views over the water. The Ferry Boat Inn is just down the road on the quayside along with the Anchorstone Café. Please note that some doorways and ceilings are low and that the area has steep hills. This property's not suitable for children under 5.

Accommodation:

From the entrance foyer with space for coats and boots, there's the stylish open-plan living space - a blend of modern-meets-retro and traditional cottage features. Two comfortable, contrasting sofas centre around the large log burner with its original stone hearth - perfect for chillier winter evenings. There's also a large wall-mounted TV. The chic dining table with white marble top with brushed gold legs comfortably seats four with sumptuous velvet dining chairs. THe well-equipped shaker-style kitchen has an oven and hob as well as a dishwasher, kettle, and toaster. Off the kitchen is the utility room where you will find the washing machine and tumble dryer, a small freezer, as well as the ground-floor WC and access to the garden.

There are two bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The master bedroom has a 6ft superking-size bed and a large wall-mounted TV. The twin bedroom has two single beds with wrought-iron bed frames and a TV. The beds can be combined to be configured as a second superking-size room. The family bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower.

All the TVs in the cottage come fully loaded with the complete Sky TV package (including Netflix).

Please note that this property is not suitable for children under 5 years of age.


Outside:

At the back of the cottage is the paved, suntrap, courtyard garden, with an outdoor dining area that looks out over the river. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening fizz. Two sun loungers are also available.


Parking:

The property's location means there's no parking on site, although you can briefly pull up outside to load and unload. There are two car parks in the village - at The Ham and The Level - roughly 300m away (there is a steep hill up to ‘The Level' car park) or free on-street parking on Riverside Road.

Nearby:

The Ferry Boat Inn is a one-minute walk down the road (don't worry, it is not known to be noisy). On the quayside, you will also find The Anchorstone Cafe as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway Estate and Dartmouth. At the top of the village, there's The Red Lion which doubles up as the village shop and post office. Down The lane you will find The Ham - a large grassy playing field and children's park. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach - a 10-minute drive away in the village of Stoke Fleming.


Please get in touch if you need any advice or tips on places to visit, walks (we're right on the South West Coast Path), pubs and restaurants, etc.

Located in Dartmouth, this cottage is on the waterfront. Dartmouth Museum and Golden Hind are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Woodlands Family Theme Park and Coleton Fishacre House & Gardens. Greenway House and Garden and Splashdown Quaywest are also worth visiting.
