Self-catering holiday cottages
set in a tranquil South Devon Valley ...

Come and relax at Dittiscombe Holiday Cottages, open all year with Short Breaks available until March 30th. We are just 15 miles from majestic Dartmoor and some of the outstanding film locations for War Horse including Haytor Down.  This Tor is possibly the most famous landmark on Dartmoor (apart from the prison) with wonderful views over Dartmoor and beyond to the coast.

Our six self-catering cottages are set in a fabulous and peaceful location, close to South Devon's finest beaches.  Each cottage has its own private garden, views, and Wifi.  A private, tranquil valley surrounds the cottages and there is a nature trail for guests' use.  We are close to historic Slapton village, Dartmouth and Salcombe.

All the cottages at Dittiscombe are Visit England 4-star rated, and are comfortably furnished with full heating, some have woodburners and spa baths, and each has its own private garden and views of rolling Devon countryside. Guests can enjoy the nature trail and over twenty acres of private open space with ponds, woodland and meadows, or a little bird and wildlife-watching from a cottage garden.

Guests can leave the car behind and take the 50-minute green lane walk to historic Slapton village, with its two excellent dog-friendly pubs, and Slapton Ley Nature Reserve where there is birdwatching and nature safaris; and just 3 miles from here the South West Coast Path takes in the stunning coastal scenery of Start Bay from Dartmouth to Start Point lighthouse.

We offer a 25% discount on golf and leisure facilities at the Dartmouth Golf & Country Club through our guest membership scheme. Facilities include 18-hole and 9-hole golf courses, spa, sauna, gym/fitness room, swimming pool, and beauty therapy treatments.  The Club is approx. 5 miles from Dittiscombe.

On 20th May the Olympic Torch will pass through Dartmouth and come along Slapton Line just 3 miles from Dittiscombe Holiday Cottages.  More information about the Olympic Torch Relay can be found here.
