Reviews

- “For the most part everything was fine, just a few minor points which would improve things for others. There was no oven glove -- important for self catering! Some of the springs in one settee had gone and was a bit uncomfortable. A larger washing airer would be useful as the small one given is not enough for a family's washing esp if there are children. It might not always be possible to dry washing on the small line outside. The beds were very comfy, but fitted sheets would be better It was a bit difficult for 4 people to sit round the table and have room to move, if 5 were there, as the house can sleep, it would I think be very awkward. However, we were lucky to get parked in the street and the location was excellent right in the heart of the town, so close to shops for groceries and treats like icecream! We had a good holiday at Dizzy Duck.”

- “The parking was difficult at times even though it was out of main season”
Mrs Cooper, Coventry, June 2018
- “The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. It’s location was ideal but parking was horrendous and only one parking permit was available when the literature said two would be available. Whilst the cottage was nice, the location of the main lounge and kitchen being on the lower ground was not good. There was a feeling of damp and even on hot days (we had excellent weather) we had to dress for winter in the evening as the lounge was ridiculously cold. If the heating was used the rest of the house was oppressively hot. The fire failed to heat the lounge and overall this really spoilt our overall experience of the cottage.”
Mrs Bardsley, Rochdale, May 2018
