Perfectly Located Pretty Cottage

Good location for our stay for a wedding.

It was very basic but adequate for our purpose. It would have been useful to have some sort of grab rail to assist with climbing into the bath safely and a chair in the bedroom would have been nice.

The location of the property was good. Close to amenities, which was just as well, as we had to buy some new pillows, as the ones provided at the property absolutely reeked of smoke and were dirty. Clearly hadn't been washed in some time

On arrival, the property was disappointing. It's smelt of smoke and dust. However, nothing that a good clean wouldn't sort out, but having no cleaning products and the sponges by the sink had also clearly been there a while, we were unable to clean anything. Still, we were only staying for 2 nights and would be at a wedding during the day, so we let that go. We then turned on the tv. No normal channels but a google fire stick type thing, which also wasn't working, so we tuned in the tv ourselves. We then went up to bed. My son refused to sleep in the bed as there were stains on the bedding, and upon checking our bedding, there were stains all over it. I don't think it had been cleaned from the last rental. There's not much we could do with it at that point, so we had to sleep in the dirt stained bed. The morning of the wedding comes and I went to use the shower. It turned on straight away, and the pressure looked ok, but the temperature was either scalding hot or freezing cold. I messaged the property owner, who said he would be over in an hour. I also pointed out that there was no washing up liquid or shower gel at the property and could he bring another towel, as ours smelt of smoke. In addition, the Google tv wasn't working. The owner turned up very apologetic. Couldn't fix the tv, but did offer to get new batteries. We explained we were only there for one more night, so not to worry. He also bought some washing up liquid and some shower gel with him and another stinky towel. He then looked at the shower and confirmed it appeared to be broken and also confirmed a previous renter had complained about the shower, but he had assumed it was no longer an issue as he hadnt received any further complaints .By this time we only have 2 hours before the wedding starts. He apologised and stated that renting an Air bnb shouldn't be this stressful.

Good location close to town centre and supermarkets. Comfortable living room. Convenient parking right outside cottage.

Not good enough for the price. Shower was faulty. It was dangerously hot on the lowest temperature setting. The equipment provided in the kitchen was quite poor. Only 2 forks, no lids to fit the saucepans and one saucepan was burnt. There was no washing-up liquid. Only 1 large towel provided for each person. There was no plug in the bathroom sink. The leaded glass in the bathroom window needs mending, it is very loose. There was only 1 coat hanger.

I liked the place where that house was located. The town Diss and surrounding area was stunning.

Firstly. The key location. 🔑 the owner provided with the code of safe locker, but didn't mentioned, where to find it. As I arrived i didn't knew where was the key location safe box was. So I saw on my right hand side the doors with the key code keypad. Tried to to type few times in that key pad the code, which I was provided. Nothing worked. Then i called to the number provided to me. The person who answered to me explained, where to locate the key safe box. Finally I opened the key safe box. Picked up the 🔑. That's fine. Now there is 2 key holes in the door. Didn't had an instructions which key hole to use it. Tried both. Upper key hole didn't unlocked the door. Then i somehow managed to unlock the bottom key hole. Anyway. It was 2 holes there. Out of the 2 holes. One unlocked. First impressions, when i opened and entered the property. It was kitchen. Kitchen looked tidy. But the smell, which I suffered. There is no words to describe, how was bad. It smells like nobody was ventilating that property for ages. Smelled, like old lining and sweat and old stuff. Doors frames where way to small. I am 6.2foot. Few times banged me heand into the door frames. Living room was comfy, and cozy. Sofa bed and sofa was ok. Tv and tv adapter, which I could turn on and watch the tv. I didn't find a problem. The carpet, was worn-out and short from the gripperods around the wall by the stair case. I not property inspector, but it was disgusting. Same with the stair case and the rest of the forst floor. The stair case was to steep and winding stairs were creaking. As I mentioned. I am tall, but i had to bent to walk in through the stairs up. First floor. Smells even worse, then the kitchen. Main bedroom linen smelled, like nosoby washed them for ages, same like another room. Plus had some stains on the duvet covers in both rooms. Pillows smelled, like someone did poo on them. In the smaller room the mattress were to worn.

The property was perfectly adequate, comfy and warm in a location that suited our purposes for our visit to Diss.

The shower was dreadful. The temperature couldn't be controlled and was either freezing or scorching and cut out out on occasion due to tripping the fuse box.

Great location, cute cottage, bright inside. Lovely pebble courtyard was a bonus.

Although the place was tidy it could not have been called clean (dusty shelves, random sugar cubes scattered in the kitchen drawers, appliances and taps that, based on their water-spotting, indicated a hasty and slap-dash method of cleaning.) Would have been helpful to have instructions on TV, garbage and recycling, a bit about the area. The shower cut out at one point, and though we called the host immediately there was no answer. When we called back later that afternoon he texted that we needed to flip a switch (no indication as to which switch) on an electrical panel. No guest wants to attempt electrical fixing in a stranger's cottage!

It was very well situated for visiting my family and the town.

The stairs are very steep and the toilet seat doesn’t fit properly.

Good location.

Unfortunately the property seemed to have not been cleaned since the last visitors and several areas were unclean.

Gorgeous old quaint cottage. Cosy, warm and well equipped. Ideal position for visiting the town.

Not much not to like! Would benefit from some new pillows and matching bedding just to add an extra comfortable feel.
