Description

Dartmouth 6.6 miles.

Alpha Cottage is a charming, pet-friendly cottage resting by the riverside in Dittisham, Devon.

This 1750’s property comes equipped with woodburning stove, electric fire, and barbecue – with ample roadside parking, Alpha Cottage is perfectly suited to a family or small group of friends and one polite pet on a Devon getaway.

Step into this rustic haven, restored by the current owners using traditional methods and beautiful Oak timber from their woodlands in Wales.

Toast your well-trekked toes by the woodburning stove in the sitting room ( which is the main source of heating) while a delicious dinner cooks from a kitchen/diner equipped with electric oven, induction hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer.

Tuck in at an intimate dining table for four or, when the sun follows you home, why not sizzle up some supper on the barbecue and dine alfresco at the courtyard furniture?

Toss your plates to the dishwasher and cosy up with a film on the TV.

Climb the handmade staircase to rinse off the day in a shower room or en-suite, before invited the night in a king-size or twin bedroom.

Soak up your surroundings in Dittisham, located within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a stroll along the River Dart, walk with alpacas at Dartmouth Alpaca Woodland Trekking, and topping off the day with a bite at the Ferry Boat Inn – just a stone’s throw from your property!

Take the foot ferry from the jetty at Dittisham across to explore Greenway, the famed home of Agatha Christie now in the safe hands of the National Trust.

Venture a little further afield to Totnes for the stunning views of Totnes Peak, take your four-legged friends for a walk along Baltic Wharf Ltd, and explore Totnes Castle.

Take that short drive to Paignton to indulge in a beach day at Paignton Beach, challenge the kids at Pirates Bay Adventure Golf, then meet the animals at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park.

Adventures sit at your doorstep when you book a stay at Alpha Cottage.

What guests are saying

Delightful cottage comfy beds log burner was very welcome as it was a very cold wet week when we stayed and only the one radiator working was in the kitchen, the lounge one did not work.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this cottage we are both in our 60’s the only challenge was the beautiful hand made stair case spiral with low head room and narrow treads in certain places. We are quite tall, overall very well equipped and in a beautiful Village.

Beautiful cottage inside and out in a lovely setting.

Good location, short walk to Dittisham to Dartmouth ferry. The cottage had everything we needed. A good local (Ferry Boat Inn) about 15mins walk away through the village. The bed was so comfortable. Great sleeps all week! Well equipped kitchen. Well utilised log burner for extra coziness. Would have loved to have stayed longer. We would definitely stay again.
