Orchard Cottage is a delightful, south-facing holiday cottage in Dittisham Court. It's perfect for a romantic stay or a small family holiday in this lovely riverside village. Enjoy the sunny, private patio with village views, and access to an orchard of Dittisham plum, flowering cherry, apple, and willow trees. The river and village amenities are all in walking distance. There's access to four acres of communal grounds and one allocated parking space right outside. Dogs are welcome, too.
Accommodation:
The entrance hall takes you to the open-plan living area with a sofa and armchairs, log-effect fire, TV, DVD, and CD player. French doors fill the room with light and lead out onto the private patio. The dining area seats four guests.
The shaker-style kitchen is very well equipped with an electric oven and hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave. A serving hatch connects the two rooms. Also, on the ground floor off the entrance hall is a small cloakroom with a WC.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms - the light and airy master bedroom looks out over the orchard towards the village and a twin room at the front. It features a kingsize bed, a built-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room. The twin bedroom also has a built-in wardrobe. There is also a recently refurbished family bathroom featuring a bath with an electric overhead shower.
A travel cot and highchair are available on request.
There's central heating throughout.
The coffee machine is a Nespresso Vertuo
