"All most excellent and very much appreciated the supply of wood, kindling and coal whereas other cottages often only supply a small starter pack."
Just a couple of things. There was a very bad fly problem in the top bedroom on the first day. An entire can of fly spray and an your's effort expended to get on top of it (had to sleep in the small room on the first night). Collected and counted 200 dead flies next morning. The only other small thing was the lack of instructions as to what to do with our garbage and recycling. We didn't really want to leave the garbage in the outside bin when we left (some smelly fish bits) as we didn't know if that would be put out. Ended up taking it all away in the car and having to find a place on the way to the airport which wasn't that easy. Other than that...all very good. Mark Dutton

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.
