Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Compact property, very well equipped, designed and planned out for 2 . We were very comfortable here, close to shops, bus and train stations. Aptly named Duck down cottage as the beams in this old, listed building are low- not a problem for us as we are not tall people ( under 5ft 8!) We are booked in for next year !!

Very cute place in an ideal location would definitely recommend

It was very clean and cosy with everything needed to enjoy our holiday The low ceiling beams would be an issue for someone over 5,7 but due to us both being smaller humans this was not an issue

My wife and her friend stayed here for the week for respite. They thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The accommodation was excellent and amenities were all within a short walk. There was nothing to fault, it's a delightful little cottage

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Lovely cosy accommodation, very comfortable bed. Close to waterfront, shops, bars and cafes. Not really a negative - but need to be aware of low beams into bedroom and bathroom, ok for me at 5’5”, but partner had to ‘duck down’ (as cottage name implies) when entering bedroom and bathroom.

Amazing cottage

Spotlessly clean and fresh on arrival. Amazing use of a small space. Lots of nice touches feather pillows, tea& coffee etc, chocolate biscuits and a complimentary decanter! We are non drinkers but appreciate the thought. It was a great stay and would be more than happy to return. Obviously the low beams... my husband is over 6ft but he avoided them most of the time!
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Mar, 2025
Hi Diane, thankyou for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you had an amazing stay. Apologies for the low beams!
