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.

There are two car parks in the village - at The Ham and The Level - roughly 300m away (there is a steep hill up to ‘The Level’ car park) or free on-street parking on Riverside Road.

Lovely cottage and a wonderful terrace out the back . A great place to sunbathe and watch the ebb and flow of the tide of The Dart estuary.

A great place to stay. Really well thought out with great attention to detail. I’m not sure if I’d go back to Dittisham, as although it’s very pretty, there isn’t too much to do or places to eat out, so we found ourselves using the car a lot but I’d definitely use any of Dart Valley Cottages again.

Dittisham is our spiritual home and one we like to return to regularly. Crooks Cottage did not let us down. Ideally placed just a short distance from the quay and the wonderful Ferry Boat Inn. Those who know the area will know that parking is a little distance away but you can get the car down to offload your belongings before driving off to park elsewhere. The cottage is well kitted out and beautifully presented and the patio area has lovely views over the river. TVs in each bedroom and the living room were a bit of a bonus! So the cottage did not disappoint, the welcome pack was lovely and we would certainly come here again.
