I felt that a welcome pack of toiletries like soap, shower gel etc. could have been provided - nothing. Also only 1 toilet roll per toilet and no spares was a bit mean - one of us did suffer from diarrhoea as it happens. There was a serious misdescription in that the bedroom on the first floor did not overlook the water but was the opposite side of the cottage facing the other way and looked out onto a wall and the road. Furthermore the shower is not an overhead shower as it connects to the taps - to make it overhead you need to use your hands and arms and hold it. No fixing to connect it to. All in all just about enjoyable within limits.

Lovely cottage, it had everything we needed ….. although maybe a pint of milk would have been useful, as there is no shop in the village. A very restful weekend ……..and beautiful weather was the icing on the cake .

We had a lovely stay at duck cottage. The perfect place for a restful break. Our only issue was parking we had two cars and it proved to be difficult. Very limited space to park in the village. If we had know this it would have made our trip easier

Duck Cottage is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque countryside of Tuckenhay. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings and the charming character of the cottage itself. The property is immaculately maintained, with beautifully landscaped gardens and the river running by attracts an array of wildlife, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers. The cottage interior is tastefully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. We were particularly impressed with the well-equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and comfortable bedrooms, all of which made our stay feel like a home away from home. The location is ideal for those looking to explore the surrounding countryside, with several scenic walking trails and quaint villages nearby. Overall, Duck Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

Duck cottage was as described and was well equipped. Such a relaxing and comfortable few days. We loved sitting on the patio (or in the sun room when a cold wind was blowing) and watching the changing views of the tidal creek. Good for bird watching and beautiful scenery in the area. Thoroughly recommend as a tranquil place to get away and unwind.
