Dittisham, a charming village in the South Hams situated on the banks of the River Dart and surrounded by open farmland, is a popular tourist destination. Walk till you reach the waterfront amid the quaint streets surrounded with charming stone-built homes and lush gardens. The quayside in Dittisham is frequently thought of as the centre of the community. Visit the Anchorside Café for breakfast and enjoy the breathtaking views of the river. On the dinghy pontoon, try your hand at some crab-catching with the youngsters. Go to the well-known pink Ferry Boat Hotel (or FBI as it is known locally). Head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha Christie. For outdoor activities, sailing schools and canoe hire are available, as well a selection of pretty walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is an easy drive away or ferry away, offering an abundance of shops, a cinema, tasty restaurants and even a castle. From here, you can discover plenty of beautiful beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham.

We could not stay there. The owners werenât there to greet us, we were wandering around for 45 minutes before just letting ourselves in to be disappointed. After phoning them to complain they were extremely rude and uncooperative. We had to wait well over an hour and 30 mins for them to return. The whole site was nothing like the photos, very run down, no tennis court as advertised, filthy games room and junk everywhere. The Photos online seem to be from years ago. Sykes wouldnât return our calls to the emergency helpline, therefore leaving us stranded with zero assistance at 7pm. We wanted help for an alternative accomodation and none was given. Therefore we left the property and booked into a hotel, leaving for home the next day. We have now been told we cannot claim our money back. I have left a review on trip advisor with more details. We will never use or recommend Sykes again, and have been left extremely upset and our holiday ruined. This needs looking into further, I would suggest Sykes visits these kind of holiday cottages/establishments every so often to review the star rating as this certainly was far from a 4 star and very overpriced. We will carry on trying to get our holiday refunded as we feel itâs extremely unfair as to how we have been treated, especially trying our hardest to get help from Sykes but being left until the next day without any contact from them.
