Dittiscombe Hills Estate & Cottages

Dittiscombe Hills Estate & Cottages

Come and relax in our dog and family friendly cottages surrounded by a private rewilded valley. With plenty of space, privacy and freedom to explore in our Hills, guests can stroll around the nature trail from their cottage door.

The self-catering cottages, all nestling within the valley, sleep from 2 to 6 guests and are all individual in style with log-burners, spa baths, gardens and views.

For local outings the historic village of Slapton is just two miles from our valley with its dog-friendly pubs and the freshwater lagoon at Slapton Ley, which is a treasured national nature reserve. You can enjoy safaris and birdwatching around the Ley, choose from the many beaches of Start Bay (all dog-friendly) and take walks with stunning views along the South West Coast Path between Dartmouth and Plymouth.

Just a short drive from Dittiscombe Hills are the towns of Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Totnes and Salcombe, all with unique high street shops to explore. There are plenty of eating-out places to enjoy too: from the renowned fish and chips at the Start Bay Inn at Torcross, to the Gara Rock Restaurant with stunning sea views.

Watersports galore are available, some all year round. Wild swimming, canoeing along the beautiful esturies, sea kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and windsurfing.
