The space
The Nook is a truly peaceful, chocolate box location. Perfect for one couple or a small family to relax in this beautiful riverside village and explore the wider South Hams. A very pretty holiday cottage, this grade II listed building is about 350 years old and has been lovingly renovated to a wonderful standard, combining modern living with lots of original cottage features to ensure a very comfortable stay year round. The open plan living area is a charming space with exposed stone fireplace and painted beams making the cosy room feel light and airy. Upstairs the master bedroom keeps the cute cottagey theme going and the second bedroom with a single bed and futon for younger families sharing. There is a private garden at the rear for alfresco dining in the summer and a log burner for chillier winters, there is also private parking for one car and the village amenities are a short walk away.Accommodation:
The cottage can be entered from the front door on Lower Street or from the parking at the rear via the patio. The front door opens from the road into the hallway with space for coats and boots as well as a general storage cupboard. Through to the living room, a light and airy space, beautifully furnished, very much with comfort in mind. With white washed walls, oak flooring and exposed beams to set ambience. The lounge area is centred around the large inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, 2 sofas and an armchair as well as window seat. TV with DVD and BT Vision. The dining area has a pretty painted dining table and chairs.
A doorway and hatch lead through to the kitchen which overlooks the back garden. The kitchen has a slate floor and is well-equipped with cream shaker style cupboards, integrated washing machine/tumble dryer and dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven and halogen hob, and microwave. From the kitchen there is a stable door to the patio garden and the parking.
A traditional curved stairway leads up to the first floor from the lounge. The master bedroom maintains the cute cottagey feel and is furnished with a painted oak king-size bed with side tables, plenty of storage space and a built in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a 3ft single bed and a single futon.
The modern bathroom has a bath with electric shower over, basin, toilet and a heated towel rail.

This was our second time staying at the Nook, and although we had a lovely stay overall, unfortunately the cleanliness and general upkeep of the cottage has gone downhill. For future bookers: there are no logs provided for the fire, a torch is needed to go to/from the back door as there’s no light, the hot water isn’t enough to fill the bath and the TV is quite old and difficult to use! Although these are very minor issues, it did slightly take the edge off an otherwise lovely holiday!

A beautiful little cottage in a beautiful setting. The view of the estuary from the back garden is stunning - a great spot to watch the day draw to an end. Ample parking although be warned, it is a bit of a tight turning if you have a large vehicle. I had a Nissan X-Trail, which was fine but needed to be done slowly. The Nook is gorgeously decorated and very cosy. I highly recommend it.

The Nook is located superbly within the Village, and it's such a peaceful environment. Everything was either good, or acceptable. The only disappointment was how dirty we found the kitchen and its contents. We found ourselves cleaning everything, before either eating on, or cooking in. Would definitely return; just to hopefully a cleaner place. Thank you for letting us stay.

Dittisham is a magical and very special place set in beautiful surroundings. The Nook is a gorgeous, cozy cottage situated in the middle of this utterly charming village. This is the first time we have had a booking managed by a company and not the hosts themselves. I would say that the response time was slow but efficient when made. However, the warm, personal touch was missing.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely village, just right for a two person stay. The only issue was that the boiler wasn't working and so the cottage was absolutley freezing when we arrived. Dart Valley were responsive (10.30pm on a Sunday evening!) but there was nothing they could do. The plumber arrived the following day and the issue required new parts...so at our suggestion Dart Valley organised some electric heaters. They worked fine although clearly not as nice as having a warm cosy cottage, which unfortunately took the edge off a wonderful stay! Aside from the hearting issue, a lovely spot.
