Guests say
Tacker Street Cottage is a charming, rustic retreat set in a tranquil and picturesque location, ideal for those seeking peace, nature, and a break from modern distractions. Guests praise the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and the cosy atmosphere created by the open fire and wood burner. The setting is perfect for scenic walks and relaxation. While some mention the cottage is a little dated and the bathroom could benefit from updating, the overall experience is positive, with many guests eager to return and recommending it to friends.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with particular praise for the linen and general upkeep. However, a few reviews noted minor issues such as some areas needing deeper cleaning and signs of mould in the bathroom.
The location is widely celebrated for its beauty, peace, and proximity to nature, with lovely walks and a friendly local pub nearby. The remote setting is a highlight, though access may be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, plenty of bedding, and a cosy atmosphere. The peaceful environment and warmth from storage heaters and fires add to the comfort, though a few found the bathroom cold or the cottage basic.
The kitchen is well-equipped and the cottage has essential amenities, but several guests mention the bathroom is dated, water pressure is low, and the shower is basic. Some maintenance issues, such as damp and old appliances, were noted.
The owner is frequently described as helpful and welcoming, providing local recommendations and meeting guests on arrival. While some guests received water and firewood, please note that such gestures are not guaranteed for all stays.

Very quiet location, only the sound of the stream and birds. Basic cottage but very comfy beds. Would book again.

A rustic cottage in need of some TLC, in a beautiful and remote location, with a great pub just down the road. However, the water only trickles from the tap, making a shower or bath impossible. Any hot water is curtesy of the kettle. I am disappointed that Cottages.co, did not let me know the situation and help with alternative arrangements before we arrived.

We had a very relaxing stay, nice to have limited WiFi, the children made their own entertainment and loved the local pa It was in a beautiful location. Very comfortable for our family of five. Loved the wood burner and open fire in the sitting room. We will definitely return There was not anything we didnt like
