Description
3 Glendale Cottages is an outstanding property resting within striking distance of the beautiful River Dart, found within the picturesque South Hams area of South Devon.
The interior of the property has retained much of its character and charm, which is complemented by the refreshing ambiance and contemporary-styling, offering an outstanding base for a traditional family holiday to Devon’s coast.
Enter through the porch and be welcomed into the hub of the home, the open-plan living room, where the original beams and the inglenook fireplace frame the room and offer a sense of character.
The space comprises of a well-equipped kitchen, a formal dining space and a sitting area, where, during a winter's evening, you can get cosy by lighting the woodburning stove.
Once the evening has drawn to a close, head up the staircase where you can catch glimpses of the estuary before you reach the two well-presented bedrooms.
Here, you will find a spacious double bedroom which boasts a quaint window seat, where you can unwind and soak up the views of the estuary as you wake up each morning.
Completing the interior is a well-presented bedroom and a brightly decorated bathroom, boasting both a bath and a walk-in shower.
If the weather is on side, head outside to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining or enjoy a stroll to the nearby Ferry Boat Inn or The Anchor Stone cafe, which both serve a delicious dining menu.
Alternatively, head to the nearby town of Dartmouth which rests at the mouth of the River Dart offering a magnitude of watersporting opportunities and endearing alleyways lined with shops, bars and restaurants.
Further afield is the glorious beach of Blackpool Sands or you can soak up the scenery further by walking along the South West Coast Path.
3 Glendale Cottages is a wonderful retreat for your next getaway with the family.

What guests are saying
This cottage is perfect, it’s well presented, clean with everything you need for an enjoyable week away.
We normally visit out of season so we were surprised by how busy the pub was during the summer holidays. Normally we drive down and park on the road to unload then turn on the beach to go back up the hill, This isn’t easy with a lot of visitors outside the pub. We parked on the Ham and used a pull along trolley to get our luggage from the car to the cottage, walking the footpath from the ham to the cottage, this worked well and kept the kids entertained traveling in the trolley when it was empty. We launched our kayaks from the river bank by the ham which also worked well. We had a very enjoyable week away.
Everything was great it is small but perfect - got everything you need in the kitchen and bedrooms and bathroom have high ceilings so doesn’t feel cramped.
Freshly painted . Bedroom view to the river . Perfect location so although not much outside space you’re very close to the water and cafe and pub. Because it’s tucked away it’s private too. A great stay in the heatwave ! Thank you
We recently stayed at Glendale in Dittisham, South Hams, near Dartmouth, and while the house itself was wonderful with excellent facilities, I feel it is important to highlight some issues with the accuracy of the information provided and the handling of our complaint.
The listing stated that a parking pass was available for £25 for the week; however, the actual cost was £10.20 per day, which over a week could amount to approximately £70. This is a considerable difference and could cause financial inconvenience for guests who have budgeted based on the information shown. When we raised this issue, the communication we received was disappointing. We were sent a series of WhatsApp messages simply asking whether the problem had been resolved, with no meaningful attempt to address it. We requested a goodwill gesture in the form of a partial refund to cover the excess parking costs, but this was not acknowledged. No one followed up by email or phone, which left us feeling that our concerns were not being addressed. This was particularly disappointing as we chose to move from Airbnb to Sykes, hoping for a better experience. On this occasion, the communication left us questioning that decision. The property itself is genuinely lovely with fantastic facilities, and it would be a shame for these avoidable issues to impact what could otherwise be an excellent stay. We would encourage Sykes to ensure that website information remains accurate and that guest concerns are handled with proper care and follow‑through.
