On the edge of Dittisham, in a fabulous position high on a hill, is this lovely modern house.
With amazing views over the beautiful Dart estuary and elegant décor, it is relaxing and magnificent accommodation for older families and groups of friends.
Steps lead down to the front door and your smart sitting room where your eye will be drawn to the windows which form the front wall of the house, letting in lots of light and views of the river, and which you can open to the patio to bring the outside in. On cooler days, gather around the lovely cosy wood burning stove or cook together in the sleek kitchen with its traditional Aga, preparing meals to enjoy in the dining area with its big table.
Up a step from the kitchen is a useful ground floor twin bedroom, and you will find the other three bedrooms upstairs, all en suite and with fantastic views of the Dart estuary.
One of the doubles opens to a balcony where you can step out in your pyjamas for early morning vistas.
The vast patio along the width of the house is almost another outdoor room in itself, with its table and chairs for alfresco meals and leisurely sundowners looking over the water.
A steep path winds down through the garden, a fun place to explore with its garden room where you can sit and prepare drinks and nibbles in the little kitchen area and two ponds with lily pads.
From the bottom of the garden, head through the gate which takes you to the heart of the village with its two friendly pubs, shop and jetty where you can catch crabs and board the pedestrian ferry to Greenway where Agatha Christie once lived and which is now managed by the National Trust.
This is boating country, where you can hire vessels, moor dinghies and join the sailing school for some tuition.
Blackpool Sands is a stunning beach, a curve of turquoise water and golden sand.
Dartmouth is an old and fashionable town where shopaholics will love the boutiques and galleries, or you can play golf at the Country Club.
With beautiful scenery and lots to enjoy in the area, Dove Cottage is an outstanding holiday home for a Devon break.

Beautiful cottage. Plenty of room for family. Lovely deck from which you can really enjoy the view over the river. Garden very steep,but this was explained in description of property. Last 2 1/2 miles to cottage very narrow lane with passing places, but not too busy. Overall very enjoyable stay with housekeeper very helpful when contacted.

A lovely property with exceptional views. The garden was a real extra bonus and it was wonderful to have as an outside space. Dove Cottage was clean, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped - we even enjoyed the cutlery drawer hunt ! We will be booking again. Thank you

An amazing house in a stunning location, with fantastic views over the Dart. High quality fixtures, fittings and furniture throughout, lovely bathrooms and quality beds and bedding. Our group of three couples have been going away together for some time and this is the best house we have rented to date, we had a great week there. And, as golfers, there are some great golf courses nearby.
