"Converted Chapel in great location in the beautiful village of Dittisham which is very well placed for exploring The Dart and surrounding areas."
Large double height sitting area with open plan kitchen and sitting area, mezzanine floor area for study. First floor and additional attic bedroom both with adjacent shower rooms. Parking next door which is very convenient and short walk to river. Generally clean and tidy although lots of ornaments and fake plants causing a bit of, to my mind, unnecessary clutter. Our stay was slightly hampered by a fly infestation in the attic room which I'm sure will be remedied asap. Overall lovely old Chapel with modern facilities in great location.

"Absolutely loved the property from the moment we arrived."
It was very comfortable, well decorated, and loved the whimsical features and ornaments in the lounge and kitchen areas. There is a loo on each floor (three in total) and two shower rooms (one en suite). The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil required. It was lovely to sit at the large dining table when we ate in, and the whole property is light and airy. The raised garden at the back is just perfect, and the adjacent tiny cemetery fascinating. One comment about Dittisham itself, is that it’s hilly and you need a strong pair of legs and some stamina to walk from the property to the jetty or local pub. We cannot praise the property more highly and would recommend it to all.

"Great stay, beautiful property in lovely village."
Would have enhanced our stay if a book of instructions re appliances etc was available, particularly WiFi code, heating/water, and recycling information as well as useful local places to visit etc. Folks with mobility issues may find issues here, but we really enjoyed our holiday.

"Stunning property but let down by some basic cleaning and maintenance."
Downstairs toilet not cleaned properly and cushions on outside seating area extremely worn and filthy. One did not even have a cover on it. But a stunning property in a stunning location. Road to property very narrow and limited tight parking space to keep within boundary.
-
"The property has been completed to a very high standard and is exceedingly comfortable throughout the interior."
Unfortunately, the outside patio was unusable due to the seat cushions having been removed and left on the wet grass. The property was spotless on arrival but lacked any welcome pack or instruction book and the usual local area information that we have been accustomed to expect. But overall an exceedingly lovely place to enjoy.

Fantastic property in a nice quiet area would have liked a book to write comments in and maybe have had a little information about surrounding areas

"We had a wonderful stay."
This is a beautiful property with great views and very well appointed. There was just 2 of us staying so we had plenty of space. I worked from there for a few days and the wifi worked perfectly for all my video calls. Some feedback/comments: - There was no 'welcome book' so we got a bit confused as to where to put our rubbish and any other check out procedures but we did find the bins by the parking - There was no iron or ironing board (didn't both us but might bother others) - Main bedroom is massive but the en suite shower does have a low ceiling (it didn't bother us because we just used the shower downstairs) - The second bedroom is quite small (we didn't use it so again it didn't both us) - We were only left with towels for the 2 of us so this meant we didn't have hand towels for all the bathrooms which was a bit annoying. - It is a steep hill to walk down to the Ferry Inn (pub), cafe and water and no parking down there so I wouldn't recommend the property for people with mobility issues.

The property
Resting a short distance from the banks of the River Dart in Dittisham, Devon, you will find the brilliant, converted church property of The Old Chapel.
With allocated parking for one car, a stunning façade and interiors featuring exposed stone, shutter windows and a chandelier, and a superb position close to nearby amenities, this fabulous home welcomes a family or a group of sharing friends for a relaxing, self-catered stay in tranquil Devonshire setting whilst enjoying some river glimpses.
Enter your new home-from-home, hang up your outerwear in the front hallway before you step into the impressive, open-plan living space, which comprises a fully-equipped kitchen where delicious dinners can be prepared, a dining table with ample seating where you can gather to savour your meals, and a sitting area with vaulted ceilings, two sofas, a woodburning stove, and a sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV that serves as the social hub of the home.
Head upstairs, where you can enjoy views overlooking the sitting space from the mezzanine-level study, before you head to refresh with a rejuvenating shower on your way to catching your rest in either a plush king-size or double bed, the latter of which enjoys a gorgeous view of the River Dart from Velux windows.
If you can tear yourself from your lovely new base, set out to explore the many delights on offer in your local area.
A short stroll will bring you to your nearest post office that sells homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be had at the nearby Ferry Boat Inn or The Anchorstone waterside restaurant.
When you're ready, hop on the ferry and cross the river to pay a visit to the National Trust site of Greenway Boathouse, or if something more exhilarating is desired, head west to the Woodlands Family Theme Park for a fun day out.
Further afield, a short drive south will bring you to Dartmouth, home to the Dartmouth Museum for history buffs, the picturesque Royal Avenue Gardens, and the ancient sites of Bayard's Cove Fort and Dartmouth Castle.
When you're done, head back to your new abode and unwind on the raised garden where you can soak in more of your scenic surroundings with a glass of your favourite tipple in hand.
Enjoy the ultimate escape to Devon by booking The Old Chapel.
Please note: Due to the location of the garden and the steep steps, children should be supervised.
Please note: As this was a former chapel, the old graveyard is adjacent to the property.

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.
