Old Bakehouse, The
The Old Bakehouse, Grade II Listed, enjoys an enviable position in Dittisham, this ever popular waterside village on the beautiful River Dart in South Devon. The cottage, recently refurbished, has superb views over the water from its spacious and attractive garden, verandah and orchard. This enchanting village, once a traditional fishing village, nestles on a bend of the tidal river. Eight miles downstream from Totnes and 3 miles upstream from Dartmouth, it is now a relaxing holiday location with two pubs, a very good café and post office/shop and a haven for those who love messing about in boats. Here space is hard to come by and the Old Bakehouse provides it in abundance with plenty of parking and wide spacious enclosed gardens. This is a top spot for children in the summer holidays with crabbing from the pontoon, plenty of space, a lovely garden but equally is a peaceful and tranquil place for those who simply enjoy sitting in the garden and watching the boats sail by. A short stroll down the lane leads to The Ferry Boat Inn, a popular waterside pub.
“What a fabulous time we had. The Old Bakehouse is so unique - cosy, spacious, fantastic beds, wonderful views and the people are so welcoming.We love it!” Janet, Sandy, Sylvia and Mike.
