Guests say

November Cottage in Dartmouth, Devon, is praised for its comfort, beautiful furnishings, and quiet, picturesque location. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere and the convenience of a parking space. The village of Dittisham and nearby Dartmouth offer charming explorations and dining experiences.

The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, though some guests noted issues with dog hair and a marked carpet. A thorough vacuum before arrival is suggested to enhance the experience.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and beauty. Dittisham is a lovely village, and the cottage's proximity to Dartmouth and other attractions is a significant plus.

Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, though some find the beds a bit on the hard side. The living spaces are well-regarded for their comfort.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture. However, maintenance issues like an unsteady dining table and an overgrown courtyard were mentioned. The vacuum cleaner also needs to be charged before use.

While guests have suggested that small touches like fresh milk or a guide to recycling would be appreciated, there is not enough information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the hosts, and no specific gifts are mentioned.

About this property

Located in the quaint Devonshire village of Dittisham, just a short distance from the tranquil banks of the River Dart, lies the charming, two-bedroom holiday home of November Cottage. With a delightful, sky-blue exterior, well-appointed living spaces, and allocated parking for one car, this lovely property welcomes a family of four or a group of friends sharing, along with their canine companions, for a relaxing, self-catered escape to the south of Devon. Park up in your designated parking spot before you enter into your humble new lodgings. Hang up your coats and jackets in the porch area before you make you stick the kettle on for a round of teas in the fully-equipped kitchen. Here, you’ll find all the appliances you’ll need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner that can be savoured around the dining table in the living/dining room, or even outback in the enclosed courtyard for an idyllic alfresco experience. When it’s time to unwind, kick back on the corner sofa whilst you watch a film or two on the Smart TV, before you head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating bath or shower. When sleep calls, head to one of the two double bedrooms to settle down for a well-earned rest to re-energise for the day ahead. Get your caffeine fix with the help of the Nespresso coffee machine in the morning before you head out to explore what your local area has in store. A short stroll will bring you into Dittisham, where you can stock up on homely essentials at the post office on your way to tucking into a hearty pub lunch at the Ferry Boat Inn. From here, hop onboard a ferry to visit the nearby locales of the historic Greenway House and the National Trust spot of Greenway Boathouse. Slightly further afield, you will find Dartmouth just a brief drive along the coast, a town brimming with culture and home to iconic attractions such as the Dartmouth Museum and the brilliant Royal Avenue Gardens. Keep travelling south from here and you will also happen upon Bayard’s Cove Fort, the ancient setting of Dartmouth Castle, as well as the National Trust nature reserve of Little Dartmouth. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book a stay at November Cottage.

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.

    Close to Dartmouth and Bigbury on Sea (Burgh Island) is just a short drive away, Greenway is a short trip over the river and the Ferry Boat Inn down on the quay is the perfect place to spend an afternoon We had a great week

  • Kathy

    It's clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Dittisham is a pretty village with little lanes to explore. Pizzas at the Ferry Boat Inn are well worth trying! Lots of shorter walks in the area and it's a beautiful walk to Dartmouth (little ferry to Greenway to set off)

  • Gillian

    We love its location as it is so quiet. The cottage suits the two of us because it is simply furnished and generally clean. I have said before however that it is a pity dogs are allowed. The carpet is marked with footprints and there was a lot of hair which hadn’t been cleaned away on our last visit.
