Fingals Folly - Self-catering cottage in Devon
Old Coombe
Dittisham, Dartmouth, TQ6 0JA, Devon
England,
Royaume-Uni
From your balcony at the front, watch sporty types play tennis on the lawn. On the back deck, overlooking the brook, you can bask in the sun or catch the flash of a kingfisher.
Fingals is an arty, quirky, atmospheric, secret place, close to the estuary and the coast – Blackpool Sands is eight miles. This two-storey cottage, one of six retreats, has a beautiful, beach-house interior. Come as a couple or as three: there’s a daybed in the sitting room. Enjoy snooker, sauna, and a swim in the lovely light-flooded pool, or walk to Dittisham Sailing School, 30 minutes down the lane.
Set off for the Anchor Stone where the seafood is superb; have dinner at the Ferry Boat Inn. Then back to a games room for rainy days, DVDs to borrow, a piano to play, and a romantic night by the wood-burner.

Local points of interest from Sheila Johnston:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Sheila Johnston:
- You are spoilt for outdoor activities here. Walk Green Lanes from our door, learn to sail on the River Dart just a mile away, take the whole family canoeing from the creek or crabbing on the village pontoon for hours of fun.
- If you fancy a little sleuthing, jump on the ferry across to Agatha Christie's holiday home at Greenway on the banks of the River Dart. There are mystery trails in the grounds and the house as well as stunning views and excellent cream teas in the cafe.
- Our favourite beaches require a bit of an effort to reach - private coves with rock pools and absolutely no modern facilities! We'll let you in on their secret locations when you arrive!
- We have two steam trains locally for both big and little kids to enjoy. Kingswear to Paignton with great views of the Bay or Totnes to Buckfastleigh with Rare Breeds, Otters and Butterflies to see at attractions near the stations.
- Wonderful cafes, bistros, pubs and restaurants will offer you sumptuous meals in every village or town or even on the beach. Local fish, meat and even veggies are colourful and so yummy - you will be rolling home at the end of your holiday!
- The weekend market in Totnes is just wild. Full of crazy stalls with hints of your past - aromas of patchouli oil, folk wearing patchwork and with dreadlocks and beads in their hair will serve you organic and home made products to remind you of your stay.
