About this property

Central River View Cottage, Perfect for Families

Ollie's Cottage is a vibrant family home and a breath of fresh air for families or couples seeking a memorable self-catering holiday in this special part of South Devon. Cleverly arranged over three floors, Ollie's Cottage captures river views from the kitchen and living room and benefits from a private patio and parking at the rear. Ollie's Cottage is within walking distance of the river with its picnic-perfect meadow and all the village amenities. Dogs are also welcome at Ollie's Cottage.


Accommodation:

From the hallway, step into the bright, open-plan kitchen/dining room - equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The dining area has a pine table and chairs and an antique side table with a CD player and radio. French windows from the dining area lead into an enclosed paved patio. Downstairs, there is also a cloakroom with WC.

The first floor has a comfortable sitting room with a corner sofa, views of the river, an open fire, and a TV with a DVD player. At the far end of the room, separated by room dividers, there are two single divan beds. There's also a spacious bathroom containing a bath with an overhead shower.

Upstairs again to the second floor, there are two bedrooms set into the eves of the cottage. The first is a large, attractive double bedroom. The second is a small bedroom, ideal for children, and contains a single bed and roof window.

A travel cot is available.

There are storage heaters and electric heating, plus an open fire (coal and logs can be purchased locally).

Outside:

The patio garden at the rear of the property is the perfect space for al fresco dining on summer evenings - it's fully enclosed, with garden furniture and flowerbeds.


Parking:

There is parking to the rear in the shared private car park and additional unrestricted on-street parking on Riverside Road.


Nearby:

The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a two-minute walk around the corner (don't worry, it is not known to be noisy). The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay, where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café, as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway house and gardens, and also Dartmouth.


Availability:

During peak season (May, June, July, and August), we need to keep to Saturday changeovers and a minimum stay of 7 nights. However, please do contact us with any requests you may have and we will accommodate if at all possible.

Outside the peak season, we can be more flexible and don't need to keep to a Saturday changeover.

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.

Google "Ollies Cottage Dittisham" to find out more and get in touch.

8/10 Good

Comfortable cottage in a great location
A lovely cottage in a great location. Very comfortable and well appointed inside with the added bonus of parking (which can be an issue in Dittisham). Very handy for the pub, shop, post office in the Red Lion. One or two issues with the television in that we were unable to access Netflix, Iplayer etc. as advertised. Also one of the chairs in the living room had obviously been favoured by a dog in the past and could do with some deep cleaning. However these small issues didn't spoil our holiday in this lovely place.

ollie's cottage
Lovely place to stay. Versatile cottage and location. Love it that there are bits and pieces in the cupboard so you don't have to bring an entire kitchen cabinet. Rubbish disposal a bit complicated. I think dustmen come on Wednesday not Friday.

Lovely stay
We have fallen in love with Dittisham and Ollie's Cottage was the perfect place to base ourselves. The property was really cosy and we would definitely return!

Lovely and comfortable cottage.
Cottage was clean and well equipped. Alot of info of places to visit and eat. Good position to visit Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. The only drawback was the communication of Dart Valley cottages . Had to contact them about payment.

Unique
Great location for exploring South Devon. The Red Lion round the corner is the most unusual public house I've ever visited - It's a Dog friendly Pub, Restuarant, Post Office and well-stocked shop. The hub of the village with extremely, friendly staff and locals.
Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022
