Wonderful Devon Stay

A well outfitted country cottage. The owner was very responsive to all of our inquiries. Cornwood is a perfect place to unwind. Would highly recommend.

Review of small ridge cottage

Lovely cottage in a lovely area but the cottage was very tired and lacked a lot of basic care. There were areas of ?damp with paint coming away from the wall. The’on suite’ was rather basic and did encourage a damp odour. However the bathroom upstairs was more than adequate. However the cottage was warm and adequate for our purpose. Also to add Holly was a great asset and was available if needed.

One Week break in May 24

The cottage was very nice and clean throughout with a very accurate description online. The cottage is in a small village setting and remote which was fine for us but you need a car to get round. There is nothing in the village except one pub (open 4 days a week) but regrettably we didn't like it at all - very unwelcoming and "couldn't care less" attitude by landlady staff who run it for the village who own it. I'd recommend to the cottage owners to recommend some other places Dartmoor all within 15 minute drive: The White Thorn The Rock (Yelverton) The Royal Oak Thanks GAry

Cottage in great country setting and good for looking around.

House lacking advertised hairdryer and only 1 towel per person to last the 5 days. Tv difficult to manage. Downstairs bathroom not easy to navigate and no privacy for toilet. Heating was not adequate for the weather so we made use of the one fan heater that worked well. The fan heater in the downstairs bedroom did not work at all. House needs repairs .

Great Cottage

My family and I had a really nice stay at the cottage. Overall the cottage it’s self was very nice, spacious, comfortable and cozy. The location was peaceful and quiet, yet not far away from shops ect. If not familiar with the area I highly recommend a pre planned drive on dartmoor.

Great location for Dartmoor and surrounds

Overall we were very pleased with Smallridge Cottage. Good accommodation although bathroom facilities a little tight for 6 adults. Good pub in the village and easy access to Dartmoor, Plymouth and surrounds.

Lovely property in a great location

Lovely large cottage with all amenities in a lovely village where you can buy locally made fresh bread and eggs. Good for visit a to Dartmoor or the coast. Unfortunately there were a few issues with cleanliness and mold in the downstairs bedroom. These have been communicated to the owner who is working to resolve them. However we would stay at this property again

Our stay

I was surprised there was no welcome pack for us - good job we took most things with us. NO dishwasher tablets for machine, no washing machine powder or tablets. Just a few would’ve been helpful. Hardly any toilet paper. All but 2 downstairs windows were locked & the window keys didn’t fit them! Front door lock was sellotaped up, so we only had the back door for exit. This would NOT have met Fire safety Regulations! Downstairs smelt quite “musty” & there were clear signs of mould on the walls, especially in the bedroom downstairs. There was no evidence of the house having been cleaned, especially with COVID issues! I had to clean out 2 kitchen cupboards myself before we could put our food in them as there were lots of crumbs. We also took the trouble to take the last rentee’s rubbish to the local bins because they didn’t bother! There were at least 5 EMPTY containers of bathroom cleaner stuff & bleach in the bathroom cupboard - all left there by whoever cleans the house between visitors. A lovely cottage in a lovely setting but we won’t be renting it again I’m afraid.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct, 2020
We have received your review & we are always grateful for feedback as we are not local & are obviously very disappointed to read your comments & do apologise that the cottage was not up to the standard of cleaning we expect. We will be passing this on to our cleaner for her comments, we do instruct our cleaner to leave a couple of dishwasher tablets & new toilet rolls per wash room should have been provided. The set of keys available allow for the unlocking of all the windows with the same key?? there is a front door key & if it was sellotaped up this was not done by us, could have been removed (one assumes that someone did this against the wind which comes off the moor through the keyhole?) As the cottage is over 300 years old the damp issue is difficult to rectify as the property has no damp proof course but we will be looking into options but it has been quite wet which does not help. We have tried various things but as improvements are made (new windows & doors) there is not the airflow to alleviate this totally. Unfortunately with the current situation we are unable to travel to the UK, Geoff has a lung condition & is over 70, so from a distance it is difficult to ascertain exactly what needs to be & can be done & to arrange for work to be carried out, to this end we will not be offering the cottage for rent for the time being until we can improve the issue. We would have liked to have been informed of your concerns when you were there so we could have answered & resolved some of the issues at the time.
