The Folly

About this property

The Folly holds a prime spot overlooking the grass tennis court and rolling Devon countryside beyond. This unique holiday home offers guests a tranquil getaway right in the heart of the beautiful South Hams. Cosy up in front of the woodburning stove, sinking into the plush sofas as you get lost in a good book or while away the afternoon on the dock alongside the babbling brook. The Folly is the perfect place for romance and to get away from it all. Set across two floors, The Folly has a sumptuous ground-floor bedroom with a light, bright living space above. Benefitting from a king-size bed, freestanding bathtub, and a riverboat cuddle chair, it is truly a splendid haven for those looking to relax. From the rear, you may even spot the occasional otter, small brown trout in the stream or a kingfish swooping past! Upstairs, discover the compact but well-equipped self-catering kitchen, boasting its own balcony, a sun-filled sitting room with woodburning stove and a delightful balcony with views out to the tennis courts, gardens and rolling Devon hills. Welcome to The Folly. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1128246, 1130111, 1130112, 1130123 and 1130126 together sleeping up to 32 guests.

Dittisham, a charming village in the South Hams situated on the banks of the River Dart and surrounded by open farmland, is a popular tourist destination. Walk till you reach the waterfront amid the peaceful alleyways surrounded with charming stone homes and lush gardens. The quayside in Dittisham is frequently thought of as the centre of the community. Visit the Anchorside Café for breakfast and enjoy the breath-taking views of the river. On the dinghy pontoon, try your hand at some crab-catching with the youngsters. Go to the well-known pink Ferry Boat Hotel (or FBI as it is known locally). Reaching Greenway, the former summer home of the legendary Agatha Christie, requires ringing the ferry bell and crossing the Dart.
