Located in the quaint Devonshire village of Dittisham, just a short distance from the tranquil banks of the River Dart, lies the charming, two-bedroom holiday home of November Cottage. With a delightful, sky-blue exterior, well-appointed living spaces, and allocated parking for one car, this lovely property welcomes a family of four or a group of friends sharing, along with their canine companions, for a relaxing, self-catered escape to the south of Devon. Park up in your designated parking spot before you enter into your humble new lodgings. Hang up your coats and jackets in the porch area before you make you stick the kettle on for a round of teas in the fully-equipped kitchen. Here, you’ll find all the appliances you’ll need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner that can be savoured around the dining table in the living/dining room, or even outback in the enclosed courtyard for an idyllic alfresco experience. When it’s time to unwind, kick back on the corner sofa whilst you watch a film or two on the Smart TV, before you head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating bath or shower. When sleep calls, head to one of the two double bedrooms to settle down for a well-earned rest to re-energise for the day ahead. Get your caffeine fix with the help of the Nespresso coffee machine in the morning before you head out to explore what your local area has in store. A short stroll will bring you into Dittisham, where you can stock up on homely essentials at the post office on your way to tucking into a hearty pub lunch at the Ferry Boat Inn. From here, hop onboard a ferry to visit the nearby locales of the historic Greenway House and the National Trust spot of Greenway Boathouse. Slightly further afield, you will find Dartmouth just a brief drive along the coast, a town brimming with culture and home to iconic attractions such as the Dartmouth Museum and the brilliant Royal Avenue Gardens. Keep travelling south from here and you will also happen upon Bayard’s Cove Fort, the ancient setting of Dartmouth Castle, as well as the National Trust nature reserve of Little Dartmouth. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book a stay at November Cottage.
