We had a lovely few days in Curlew Cottage. The owners have provided a very well equipped property and all the beds were super comfy. We loved sitting in the garden in the evening and admiring the river view. Loved the bats circling overhead in the gardens. Because you are on the edge of the village it is very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

A charming cottage located in a quiet part of the village but with easy access to all the local facilities at the River Dart quay and with walks down to the Mill Creek seen from the rear garden. Dittisham village is extremely attractive. Curlew Cottage was fully equipped with everything that we needed and the most comfortable bed that we have probably ever slept in! We stayed during a heatwave and we fully appreciated the outdoor garden with furniture and parasol but at times the indoor option with the thick solid walls and stone floors provided an essential escape from the heat. The conservatory was lovely but despite roof blinds it was unfortunately a bit too much of a ‘greenhouse’ during our stay. At normal times it would be great though and the view from here and the rear garden is absolutely stunning. The on-road parking wasn’t a problem and we were able to find a space most days just along the road from the cottage. We would thoroughly recommend staying at Curlew Cottage.

Delightful comfortable well equipped cottage, stairs a little challenging for elderly or disabled. Lovely quiet location with a great garden and view which could be enjoyed even in inclement weather from the conservatory.

The cottage has been renovated beautifully and the view over the river is “picture postcard!” The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, the small garden is lovely and all in all it was a wonderful, quiet place to relax. The local community owned pub was welcoming and an evening stroll down to the pub by the jetty was another pleasant experience.
