Herons Reach - River views & communal gardens
Entire home in Dittisham, United Kingdom
The space
Herons Reach is a pet-friendly home within a barn conversion in the heart of exquisite Dittisham. Enjoy views of the river and across to Dartmoor from the large front windows and front decking. There’s access to four acres of communal gardens and two allocated parking spaces. Ideally placed to explore the area on foot, it’s just a short walk to the village shop and pub. Stroll a little further to reach the quay, the riverside inn and café, as well as river rides and ferries to Dartmouth.Accommodation:
The front door opens into the super, bright, open-plan living area, with high roof trusses and exposed beams maintaining its barn origins. The lounge area - with sofas, TV, and DVD - is located at the near end of the room and makes the most of the views from the front windows. The well-equipped kitchen area is at the rear of the room with an electric oven and hob, fridge with ice box, washer-dryer, and microwave. The dining area comfortably seats four people.
Downstairs are the two well-sized double bedrooms, both with 4’6” beds, pine furniture, and built-in wardrobes. On the same floor, there is the family bathroom which has a bath with an overhead shower and WC. There is an additional cloakroom on the ground floor with a WC.
There's central heating throughout.
Outside:
At the front door, there is a small decked area with views of Dittisham Mill Creek, as well as access to the car parking and four acres of communal grounds, including an orchard and various viewpoints over the village. Steps lead down from the deck to a small paved area ideal for storing bikes or kayaks. Guests are welcome to exercise dogs on the grounds however we ask they are kept on leads.
Parking:
There are two allocated parking spaces immediately opposite the front door.
Nearby:
The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a 2-minute walk around the corner. The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay, where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café, as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway House and Gardens, and Dartmouth. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach - a 10-minute drive away.

The location was stunning, and the house set up very good. That said, we were sent two codes for the key safe but happily as we arrived during office hours, this was quickly corrected. We also had problems with the smoke alarms which was corrected as an electrician just happened to be on site at the time. Again helped by being during office hours. The house needs a half sized dishwasher which the kitchen could easily host . The bedding was the least attractive part of our break. Whilst it was clean, it did not smell fresh/nice. The polyester pillows were flat(no plumpness) and past their sell by date (£30 on Amazon for a luxury feather washable pair) and the polyester duvets not nice (£35 for a feather double on Amazon) . This would give the fundamental finishing touch to the house it needs.

We had a fantastic week at Herons Reach, a lovely cottage with an amazing view. Herons reach was spotless and homely, instructions for the cottage were clear and informative. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy and the place is very quiet. The bathroom is being updated this month and will just add to the overall feel of the place. We would definitely recommend a visit.
