About this cottage rental
Donore is a superb 200-year-old cottage in unspoilt Dittisham, with excellent views over the village towards the river Dart and the countryside beyond. It has a wealth of charm and character throughout and is decorated to an extremely high standard. The large, lawned, garden is planted with shrubbery and flowerbeds. A canopied and an open patio gives you a choice of spaces for you to relax and dine. There's parking for two cars, plus ideally located for the riverside and village amenities.
Accommodation:
The front door leads into the large but cosy open-plan living room. It's filled with character with a slate floor throughout, exposed beams, and whitewashed stone walls. The lounge area has three sofas and a TV. (The pictured log burner is for decoration only).
The dining area has a long table that comfortably seats seven. Off the living room is a separate cosy snug with river views, a TV and a DVD player.
A large spacious kitchen features a family-size table and chairs, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, separate freezer, induction hob, electric cooker, and a docking station.
A utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. From there, a stable door leads to one of the patios and onto the garden. There's also a ground-floor WC.
There are two bedrooms - an en-suite double room, and a second superking-size room (which can be configured into two single beds upon request when booking)
The large family bathroom has a bath and a separate shower.
Upstairs on the second-floor, another large bedroom set into the eaves with three single beds and river views from the Velux windows.
Outside:
Immediately adjacent to the cottage is the first of the two patios with outdoor furniture and views of the river. The cottage has a large, sloped grassy garden which leads to the second patio area complete with garden furniture.
Parking:
There is private off-road parking for two cars.
Nearby:
The village pub The Red Lion Inn is a 2-minute walk up the road. The pub also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 5-minute walk in the opposite direction will take you down to The Quay where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Cafe as well as ferries to Agatha Christie's holiday estate 'Greenway' and also ferries to 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.
Out of peak season, we 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.

If you are looking for a relaxing, comfortable and picturesque place for your holiday, this is the one! A family of 6-7 people is suitable as there are activities for all ages. If very old age, the hills are a little steep but there are many other things to do in the area. Highly recommend!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2023
The cottage and garden were lovely and although a perfect location for us, the climb up from the quay is very steep. One or two issues. Would have been helpful to have notification when the gardener would be coming as we left many valuables in the house and it seemed clear that he had been inside (to use electricity) whilst we were out. Secondly, I emailed Dart Valley Cottages the day before bin collection because there was food remains (including fish bones) loose in the bin which was attracting bugs. The bin was emptied OK but it would have been useful to have some acknowledgement or response to my email from Dart Valley Cottages.

Donore is a beautiful cottage set over a great garden which always has flowers blooming away and a useful spot at the bottom where you can curl up with a book !
