Agatha Christie eat your heart out

A truly stunning location with 180 degree outlook of the water and river craft. Well equipped kitchen/dining, cosy sitting room with log fire and comfortable beds. Fishing direct from the terrace provided dinner one night. The access via the rear the of property, required when the tide is in, is treacherous when wet (we had 2 accidents). Overall though, one of the highlights of our 5 week UK trip.

Marooned at Smugglers Cottage!

It was glorious to look out onto the water and watch the boats loved using the ferries and not having to go near the car for a week! The house suited our group very well. We were a little shocked by how many steps there were if we needed to access the house when the tide was in. Having said that it wasn’t hard to adapt our plans so that we only went out when the shore was not under water!

Idyllic location on Dittisham foreshore - been staying over 20 years and little has changed. It’s getting a little tired!

Smugglers Cottage peaceful, comfortable with amazing views

Smugglers cottage is very peaceful, well organised and cosy with wonderful views over the river Dart. It was the perfect holiday for my family who love watersports. The rooms were spacious, comfortable with the lovely log fire of an evening. I would certainly like to book the holiday again.

Absolutely amazing cottage with outstanding views and warm and cosy. The perfect weekend away

Smugglers cottage was absolutely incredible. It was warm and cosy and decorated beautifully as a traditional cottage should be. Had the best sleep in the extremely comfortable beds and everything was very clean. I arrived with 6 friends and two dogs for my birthday weekend and we were all blown away by the views and surrounding areas. We felt very private and isolated in the cottage even though other cottages and a pub were very close by which is exactly what we wanted! I couldn’t recommend this place any higher and already considering booking again in the near future. Felt like a home from home and the dining room was perfect for catering for large dinner parties. 10/10. Thanks Sarah for having us stay :)

Delightful, well appointed, roomy with very comfortable beds and bedding.

Wonderful position on the waterfront, house is well organised for managing the high tides. Warm and comfortable with good hot water supply. Owners and cleaners very helpful and friendly. Recommend this cottage, especially if you like being close the water and enjoy watersports. Dart River Authority helpful when organising boat storage and moorings. Local pub excellent with good hearty food. Good walks and area to visit.

Had a lovely family holiday with 3 generations under 1 roof.

Smugglers Cottage was ideal for the family with sailing and walking interests, and not too far from the beaches for the kids. We particularly appreciated being able to leave our mirror dinghy at the top of the shoreline,so very easy to launch it, and we enjoyed swimming in the river at the end of a long, hot day.
