Snaptrip says
November Cottage in Dartmouth, Devon, is a cosy and beautifully furnished property that offers a comfortable stay. Guests have praised its quiet location, the convenience of a parking space, and the well-equipped nature of the cottage. The village of Dittisham was also highlighted as lovely.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is generally clean, but there were comments about a smell in the downstairs cloakroom and an issue with flies upon arrival. The cream carpets and furniture were well-maintained and unmarked.
The location is highly praised for being beautiful, quiet, and in a lovely village, making it an ideal setting for a peaceful break.
The beds and sofa are described as very comfortable, although one review mentioned the beds being on the harder side and difficulty with access to one of the double beds.
The cottage is well equipped, with a special mention of a good bathroom shower. However, there were minor issues with a lack of milk, washing up liquid, an unsteady dining table, and a vacuum cleaner that needed charging.
While guests appreciated the overall experience, there were no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that could be guaranteed for future guests, hence the score cannot be determined.
About this property
Located in the quaint Devonshire village of Dittisham, just a short distance from the tranquil banks of the River Dart, lies the charming, two-bedroom holiday home of November Cottage. With a delightful, sky-blue exterior, well-appointed living spaces, and allocated parking for one car, this lovely property welcomes a family of four or a group of friends sharing, along with their canine companions, for a relaxing, self-catered escape to the south of Devon. Park up in your designated parking spot before you enter into your humble new lodgings. Hang up your coats and jackets in the porch area before you make you stick the kettle on for a round of teas in the fully-equipped kitchen. Here, you’ll find all the appliances you’ll need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner that can be savoured around the dining table in the living/dining room, or even outback in the enclosed courtyard for an idyllic alfresco experience. When it’s time to unwind, kick back on the corner sofa whilst you watch a film or two on the Smart TV, before you head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating bath or shower. When sleep calls, head to one of the two double bedrooms to settle down for a well-earned rest to re-energise for the day ahead. Get your caffeine fix with the help of the Nespresso coffee machine in the morning before you head out to explore what your local area has in store. A short stroll will bring you into Dittisham, where you can stock up on homely essentials at the post office on your way to tucking into a hearty pub lunch at the Ferry Boat Inn. From here, hop onboard a ferry to visit the nearby locales of the historic Greenway House and the National Trust spot of Greenway Boathouse. Slightly further afield, you will find Dartmouth just a brief drive along the coast, a town brimming with culture and home to iconic attractions such as the Dartmouth Museum and the brilliant Royal Avenue Gardens. Keep travelling south from here and you will also happen upon Bayard’s Cove Fort, the ancient setting of Dartmouth Castle, as well as the National Trust nature reserve of Little Dartmouth. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book a stay at November Cottage.
Dittisham is a picturesque village surrounded by rolling countryside, located on the banks of the River Dart in the South Hams. Wander along the quiet streets lined with quaint, stone cottages and lush gardens, until you reach the waterfront. Dittisham’s quayside is often regarded as the hub of village activity. Stop at the Anchorstone Café for a spot of lunch while taking in the fantastic river views. Try your hand at some crabbing with the kids on the dinghy pontoon. Visit the iconic pink Ferry Boat Inn (or FBI as it is known locally). Ring the bell for the ferry and head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha
Christie. For outdoor activities, there are sailing schools and boat hire also paddle board and canoe hire, as well as plenty of
scenic walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is just a short drive away or ferry away, and offers an array of shops, a cinema, plenty of restaurants and even a castle. Further afield, you will find plenty of fantastic beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham to explore.

Penelope
Very comfortable and clean cottage, in a wonderful setting. The car parking space made it especially convenient. Top tip: if you plan do use the hoover at all, do make sure it's charged up. We intended to tidy up before we left, but the modern hoover needs to charge, we didn't realise. Thanks very much for a lovely stay.

Possibly because no one had stayed there for a few weeks(?), we had a bit of an issue with flies when we arrived. There was no towel provided for the downstairs loo. A pint of milk and some washing up liquid would have been nice. The dining table is really, really unsteady! Very comfortable sofa and beds, lovely towels and well equipped for what we needed.
