Meadow View Cottage is a most charming Grade II listed property set in the heart of the unspoilt waterside village of Dittisham, located on a tranquil meander of the River Dart between Totnes and Dartmouth in the South Hams.  Tastefully and stylishly refurbished with a welcoming and bright nautical decoration, this dog friendly cottage boasts freshly painted beams, a large inglenook fireplace with open fire as well as deceptively spacious accommodation with views over the glistening River Dart from the upper bedrooms and garden.  The large 'meadow' garden to the rear of the property is an amazing feature and the elevated views over the village and river from the summer house won't fail to impress.

Dittisham is a haven for those who love messing around in boats.  A short walk down the lane leads to The Ferry Boat Inn, a popular waterside pub and the pontoon where children enjoy 'crabbing' and the river ferry can be summoned by ringing a bell for trips across to the NT house of Greenway, Agatha Christie's former home.  Pedestrian ferries ply the river between Totnes upstream and Dartmouth at the mouth of the river and there are footpaths for scenic riverside walks on both sides of the river.  This delightful cottage is a real treat for both couples and families alike and its favourable village location makes it an ideal holiday at any time of year.
