1 Rock Cottage - Beautifully Presented Cottage for Four with Wood Burner

The location was great. Beautiful view. And front bedroom was warm and cosy.

The hot water wasn’t good. It really only heated to luke warm. The wood burner wasn’t efficient and with the main heater out it wasn’t very warm at all downstairs. Need more pillows otherwise you can’t sit up in bed. Should have a welcome light outside the property for late arrivals.

The garden and location.

When we opened the front door, we wanted to turn around and leave as the place stunk of mould. The place was that filthy the cleaner had to come out the next day to clean. Toilet brushes caped in poo. They got removed. We weren't at all happy. The next day, the handyman came out to fix up the curtain rail in the bedroom. Put plugs back onto the chains on the sink and bath, plus a few other things that should have been picked up by the cleaning team. The hob in the kitchen is cracked and chipped. There's more we weren't happy with. After contacting the property management team, they tried to resolve things, but we found that very patronising and painful dealing with them. We wouldn't bother with this place again or recommend it.

We had a great time, loved the cottage and the views in particular. Dittisham is a beautiful village. We did find that the storage heaters didn’t quite warm the cottage up enough without using the stove. We would definitely visit again

The views

Everything. The cottage was beautifull well decorated lovely furnishings, very well equipped everything you needed was there. The garden was lovely and private and well kept.

Nothing

beautiful location, lovely living room, comfy beds

smell of mould in the kitchen cupboards

We enjoyed our stay. We have no complaints. Our two Poles liked the Boleslawiec pottery. We would be delighted to come again. We would recommend the property to anyone (unless they have a problem with stairs). We would be pleased to make a few suggestions to the owners to make it even more welcoming.

It is not that we didn't like things. Everything was great, We just want to make a few suggestions to the owners to make it even more welcoming. 1) The key location description. (a) Maybe clarify that it is across the road. (b) "Woodshed" fooled us at first. More of a small open lean-to immediately on the right. We looked in the one at the other end of the plot! 2) Some of the kitchen units have a damp aroma within. I lived in a similar property so I know the problem. Maybe more ventilation in each would help? 3) Refuse disposal. Every council has their own way! Maybe clarify what is to go, and not go, into each of the indoor containers. Have the same number of indoor containers as in the instructions (four?). Explain why there are only two bins outside. 4) Provide something for wiping worktops - "J cloth" or similar? We were unable to find any.
