Alpha Cottage

About this property

Located in the lovely village of Dittisham and just upstream from the popular South Devon town of Dartmouth, sits this stunning cottage which has been lovingly restored to provide a fantastic base for four guests. With beautiful, traditional features such as beams and exposed stone walls as well as a warming wood burner, this is an ideal home to return to at the end of a busy day.

Stepping inside this lovely cottage, you’ll find yourself in a lounge that’s brimming with character from the exposed timber and brickwork, through to the welcoming wood burner and surrounding comfortable seating where you can curl up at the end of the day. Next to this is the bright kitchen/diner with its high ceiling and bright pops of colour making this a great space to gather for a meal. From the lounge, a steep cottage-style staircase takes you to the two pretty bedrooms. The king-size room has the same gorgeous, exposed brick as well as wood burner-effect fire and a stylish en-suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is a cute twin and there’s also a further separate shower room. Outside, there is a gravelled seating area with outdoor furniture and a further elevated seating area.

Dittisham provides a beautiful riverside location and is surrounded by Devon countryside, making it a perfect spot for a holiday. There are plenty of places to picnic and you can head to the pontoon if you fancy trying your hand at a spot of crabbing. Otherwise, you can head 6 miles to Dartmouth with its picturesque harbour, heritage railway or you can take a boat trip on the River Dart. Other great locations within easy reach include Paignton (14 miles) where you can visit the zoo or Quaywest water park or why not take a trip to the beautiful Blackpool Sands – an unspoilt sheltered bay just 7 miles away.
