    “Excellent property.”

    We will be back! HOWEVER, you may wish to pass on to the owner the following problems: 1. Leaving the key in a key box located inside the external bin cupboard was not a good start. We arrived at 5.30pm (just half an hour after the earliest permitted access time) so it was starting to get dark. I am 79 and my Wife is 75 and we needed to contort ourselves just to find the key box! There was a chord hanging down, which we presumed was a light, but if it was, it didn't work! So, we found the key ...

    We will be back! HOWEVER, you may wish to pass on to the owner the following problems: 1. Leaving the key in a key box located inside the external bin cupboard was not a good start. We arrived at 5.30pm (just half an hour after the earliest permitted access time) so it was starting to get dark. I am 79 and my Wife is 75 and we needed to contort ourselves just to find the key box! There was a chord hanging down, which we presumed was a light, but if it was, it didn't work! So, we found the key box but it was so dark inside the cupboard we couldn't read the numbers to open it! Our 'phone torch was not strong enough but luckily a lady who is living at number 24 came over with a torch and she actually managed to get in the cupboard and get the key out of the box for us. I'm not sure what we would have done if she hadn't been there! We think it would be far better if the box was screwed to the inside of the bin cupboard door, thus once the door is open, it would be easy to locate and operate. 2. The plug in the ground floor bathroom washbasin does not hold water. Impossible to keep any water in the basin. Most frustrating. 3. Two of the five table lamps in the bedrooms did not work (bulbs need replacing?) and the table lamp in the sitting room also does not work. We only offer the above information because if no-one tells you/the owner, nothing would be corrected. We WILL be back! Regards John and Maggie Reeve.

About the location

DITTISHAM

Dartmouth 3.5 miles; Totnes 7 miles.

Dittisham is a picturesque village surrounded by rolling countryside, located on the banks of the River Dart in the South Hams. Wander along the quiet streets lined with quaint, stone cottages and lush gardens, until you reach the waterfront. Dittisham’s quayside is often regarded as the hub of village activity. Stop at the Anchorstone Café for a spot of lunch while taking in the fantastic river views. Try your hand at some crabbing with the kids on the dinghy pontoon. Visit the iconic pink Ferry Boat Inn (or FBI as it is known locally). Ring the bell for the ferry and head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha
Christie. For outdoor activities, there are sailing schools and boat hire also paddle board and canoe hire, as well as plenty of
scenic walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away or ferry away, and offers an array of shops, a cinema, plenty of restaurants and even a castle. Further afield, you will find plenty of fantastic beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham to explore.
