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.
