The property

Dartmouth 6.6 miles.

Alpha Cottage is a charming, pet-friendly cottage resting by the riverside in Dittisham, Devon.

This 1750’s property comes equipped with woodburning stove, electric fire, and barbecue – with ample roadside parking, Alpha Cottage is perfectly suited to a family or small group of friends and one polite pet on a Devon getaway.

Step into this rustic haven, restored by the current owners using traditional methods and beautiful Oak timber from their woodlands in Wales.

Toast your well-trekked toes by the woodburning stove in the sitting room, while a delicious dinner cooks from a kitchen/diner equipped with electric oven, induction hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer.

Tuck in at an intimate dining table for four or, when the sun follows you home, why not sizzle up some supper on the barbecue and dine alfresco at the courtyard furniture?

Toss your plates to the dishwasher and cosy up with a film on the Smart TV.

Climb the handmade staircase to rinse off the day in a shower room or en-suite, before invited the night in a king-size or twin bedroom.

Soak up your surroundings in Dittisham, located within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a stroll along the River Dart, walk with alpacas at Dartmouth Alpaca Woodland Trekking, and topping off the day with a bite at the Ferry Boat Inn – just a stone’s throw from your property!

Take the foot ferry from the jetty at Dittisham across to explore Greenway, the famed home of Agatha Christie now in the safe hands of the National Trust.

Venture a little further afield to Totnes for the stunning views of Totnes Peak, take your four-legged friends for a walk along Baltic Wharf Ltd, and explore Totnes Castle.

Take that short drive to Paignton to indulge in a beach day at Paignton Beach, challenge the kids at Pirates Bay Adventure Golf, then meet the animals at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park.

Adventures sit at your doorstep when you book a stay at Alpha Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
