"Excellent property."
We will be back! HOWEVER, you may wish to pass on to the owner the following problems: 1. Leaving the key in a key box located inside the external bin cupboard was not a good start. We arrived at 5.30pm (just half an hour after the earliest permitted access time) so it was starting to get dark. I am 79 and my Wife is 75 and we needed to contort ourselves just to find the key box! There was a chord hanging down, which we presumed was a light, but if it was, it didn't work! So, we found the key box but it was so dark inside the cupboard we couldn't read the numbers to open it! Our 'phone torch was not strong enough but luckily a lady who is living at number 24 came over with a torch and she actually managed to get in the cupboard and get the key out of the box for us. I'm not sure what we would have done if she hadn't been there! We think it would be far better if the box was screwed to the inside of the bin cupboard door, thus once the door is open, it would be easy to locate and operate. 2. The plug in the ground floor bathroom washbasin does not hold water. Impossible to keep any water in the basin. Most frustrating. 3. Two of the five table lamps in the bedrooms did not work (bulbs need replacing?) and the table lamp in the sitting room also does not work. We only offer the above information because if no-one tells you/the owner, nothing would be corrected. We WILL be back! Regards John and Maggie Reeve.
Thanks for the feedback and so happy you're thinking of rebooking. We are on the case! Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage all mod cons."
Having a dog it would have been easier to collect poo if grass had been mown. Beautiful situation
Many thanks for this feedback, we'll look into the lawn mowing straight away. Property Owner

"Dittisham is great and 20 Dittisham Court is an attractive three bedroom house in Dittisham Court."
It's generally well-equipped and was clean on arrival. We booked for 2 weeks and there was no apparent provision for clean linen/towels after the first week. There was no owner or agent contact information in the accommodation documents (they said refer to agent) and no contact information in Coast & Country's emails which said contact owner/housekeeper. That's a minor problem for linen - but worse for no hot water. The oil boiler is on the second floor next to the main bedroom. It smelled strongly of oil and fumes from the nearby roof flue continually blew into the ensuite. Two days before leaving the hot water stopped, I tried again to find contact information and sent an email - not realising until the next day all the agent's emails are 'no-reply'. I then resorted to Facebook/Messenger and sent a message, receiving an automated reply saying C&C's team would respond ASAP - that was 15 Aug 2024 - as of 30 Aug I have had no reply. So overall a mixed experience - better communications are needed and the boiler needs looking at.

Stop at the Anchorstone Café for a spot of lunch while taking in the fantastic river views. Try your hand at some crabbing with the kids on the dinghy pontoon. Visit the iconic pink Ferry Boat Inn (or FBI as it is known locally). Ring the bell for the ferry and head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha
Christie. For outdoor activities, there are sailing schools and boat hire also paddle board and canoe hire, as well as plenty of
scenic walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away or ferry away, and offers an array of shops, a cinema, plenty of restaurants and even a castle. Further afield, you will find plenty of fantastic beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham to explore.
