Thornwell Cottage details
Thornwell Cottage is a 200 year old detached Grade II listed property with flagstone floors, exposed beams, extensive private gardens, plum orchard and a paved sitting / dining area. Views across the River Dart can be enjoyed from the lawns and bedrooms.The property is on a quiet single track lane just 75m level walk from the free car park, and is situated in the centre of Dittisham, one of the most charming and unspoilt villages in the South Hams.
The picturesque waterfront, ancient church, two friendly pubs, well stocked village shop and riverside cafe are all within easy distance of Thornwell Cottage, making it the ideal holiday haven at any time of year. Ring a bell at the waters edge just minutes from the property to summon the ferry to Greenway, former home of Agatha Christie, (see National Trust website), hire a boat to explore the river yourself, or take the passenger boat from Dittisham to historic Dartmouth with its wonderful range of shops and restaurants.
From Dartmouth a variety of boat trips are available including Dartmouth Castle, Salcombe and the lovely town of Totnes, or hop across on the ferry to Kingswear and take the delightful steam train journey to Paignton. Blackpool Sands, a Blue Flag Award-winning beach is within eight miles and features the Venus Beach Cafe which serves organic and locally produced food.
Dittisham is a popular crabbing hotspot for old and young alike so get your crabbing lines and bait from the Anchorstone cafe and grab a crab or two! The crabs don't mind - they know they'll be scuttling home to the riverbed at the end of the day.
Backed by green hills and woodlands, walkers are well catered for with excellent walking opportunities, including the Dart Valley Trail which runs through the village close by the property.
PARKING: Proceed along The Level and turn left into The Level Car Park (Free parking). Proceeding on foot, Thornwell Cottage is a very short walk away; turn left out of the car park and go straight along the lane for approx. 60 metres then look for a high white iron gate set in to a stone wall on your right hand side. (See main property image above, but note that you will be approaching the property from the other direction, so the gate will be on your right).
