Crooks Cottage - Luxurious, glorious views, garden
Entire home in Dittisham, United Kingdom
The space
Crooks Cottage is situated at the heart of the picture postcard riverside village of Dittisham. This 18th century fisherman's cottage has been beautifully renovated with all the homely luxuries you would expect while cleverly preserving its traditional character. The back garden is the perfect retreat for outdoor dining and enjoys outstanding views over the water. The Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Cafe are just a short stroll away right by the quayside where water sports enthusiasts can hire paddle boards and boats.Accommodation:
From the entrance foyer with space for coats and boots, there's the stylish open-plan living space - a blend of modern-meets-retro with traditional cottage features. Two comfortable, contrasting sofas centre around the large log burner with its original stone hearth - perfect for snuggling up on those chillier winter evenings whilst watching a film on the wall mounted TV.
The chic dining table with white marble top and brushed gold legs with sumptuous velvet dining chairs comfortably seats four.
The well-equipped shaker-style kitchen has an oven and hob as well as a dishwasher, Nespresso Coffee Maker and toaster. Off the kitchen is the utility room where you will find the washing machine and tumble dryer, a small freezer, as well as the ground-floor WC. Access to the rear garden is also through this room.
Climb the stairs at the end of the day where you will find a choice of two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has a 6ft super king bed and a large wall-mounted TV. The twin bedroom has two single beds with wrought-iron bed frames, which can be configured as a superking bed, and a TV. The family bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower.
Outside:
At the back of the cottage is the paved, suntrap, courtyard garden, with an outdoor dining area that looks out over the river. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening fizz.

A most beautiful little cottage at the heart of Dittisham. We had a wonderful long weekend there and highly recommend it. Well appointed and very comfortable- especially the beds. Lovely outside space with views over the water. A few steps away are the pub and cafe, perfect for breakfast and dinner. No parking outside the house but it wasn’t a problem. In fact it was nice to walk through the village!

When we arrived the property was not adequately prepared for guests and we spent a lot of time on our first day doing remedial cleaning and sourcing the basic supplies that were missing. On arrival the cottage smelled like wet dog, there was no soap in bathroom , no paper towel in kitchen, no pods for coffee machine. Very dirty under couch, back deck and patio also dirty, and outdoor cushions covered in dog hair. No black bin bags for rubbish , and “seagull bag” by front door was full of previous guests smelly rubbish. Brass door knob on front door came off in my hand due to very short screws in decayed wood. There are some very low doorways with no padding so if over 5ft risk of serious head injury if forget to duck. Do not underestimate the inconvenience of having no parking space and very narrow lane with nowhere to turn around. At this price point there should be better attention to details.

Wonderful few days spent at Cross Cottage! The outside space with view of the river was a real highlight. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was no shortage of hot water either. Our children couldn’t believe their luck when they realised there was a TV in their bedroom. Comfortable beds and a perfect spot for the dog’s bed too. We had a great time.
