• "Could not fault Ducks Ditty absolutely perfect."

  Was home from home, had really cold weather and snow but stayed nice and warm. Wet room was a bonus furniture was very comfortable can't find anything negative to say. We will definitely be returning.

• "The only negative I have to mention is the heating."

  . only one storage heater that hardly pushes out any heat is not adequate. Fortunately 2 oil heater’s and an electric heater was there and we had to use to keep us warm.. first thing in the morning was freezing and had to wait for the oil heaters to initially give us some warmth, plus put the oven on with the door open to help heat up the room…other than that all good

  Barry, we know from your comments in our guest book how much you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry that the heating wasn't sufficient. We will certainly look at how we might improve this. Property Owner

• "A clean, spacious, little holiday home."

  Lovely decorated and well chosen objects and items that made it quite homely. Perfectly placed for both north and south coasts. Excellent wet room with easy to control shower (my 89 yr old, severely visually impaired, disabled mother coped fine). Beds clean and comfy, excellent kitchen/cleaning facilities. Lovely welcome brownies - thoughtfully provided with a list of the ingredients - and milk, much appreciated. Owner called a couple of days in to check all was ok, which was another thoughtful touch.

  Stephen, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Ducks Ditty. We are delighted that your mother was able to cope in the space with her disabilities. Your positive feedback has been very reassuring. Thank you ❤️ Property Owner

• "Bungalow very nice, big enough for two."

  Beds clean and comfortable. We were disappointed with the smell of damp dogs but this went after a couple of days. Cushions on sofas smelt ‘dirty’ and covers were dirty with dog hairs. The seat cushions on both sofas were flat making it hard to get up, my disabled husband had so much trouble he had to sit at the table the whole week - tried sitting on the cushions but was unstable. The cold bathroom tap is still fierce, kitchen tap still drips, shower plug holes slow draining. The Pub had closed over a year ago, same for the shop. Will not be coming back, a couple we spoke to said the same about the sofas in their bungalow and said they won’t be back either. Sorry to be so negative but with all the ‘hype’ from other people we felt very let down. After saving for a year we were very disappointed.

  We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay at Ducks Ditty. We encourage our guests to contact us if there any concerns so that we can rectify them immediately. Our listing does not indicate that the pub is open as it has been closed since before Covid. There are however pubs within a short distance. There has never been an onsite shop. The listing states that dogs are welcome and the majority of our guests do bring their pets. Careful research of a property is a good idea before booking. Property Owner

• "The cottage is clean, and well equipped, always smells lovely too."

  If I had one thing negative about the cottage, it's the two sofas, a bit low for pensio ers and disabled people to get out of without a big struggle, but that is my only negative comment, we have been 4 yrs consecutive because its perfect for my disabled brother and elderly mum, the bathroom is a wet room, we find it perfect for us, 10/10 ..

  Julia, thank you for you feedback both here and in the guestbook. It's lovely to know our ongoing efforts to maintain high standards of cleanliness are appreciated. We understand your comments about the sofas and are grateful that you continue to return. We look forward to your next visit. Best wishes, Helen and Gillian Property Owner

  ! On arrival, the host has made everything feel comfortable and a true home from home. Would stay longer if we could!! Always clean, well equipped and even extras for the dogs should we need them. A great property with a fabulous host and the perfect location to enjoy the local woods and walks or for seeing further afield. A truly relaxing place to unwind and rest!

  Well equipped accommodation . 2 parking spaces. Outside patio set. Wheelchair friendly. Very quiet site but kept very clean, just a stroll away from the manor grounds. 20 mins car journey from Looe, Bodmin and seaton beach. 5 mins car journey to The Crows Nest Inn for fabulous food and drink

  Lorraine thank you for your review of Ducks Ditty, the Rosecraddoc site and location. It is always good for others to get a picture of the location and not just the accommodation. The peace is what encourages many to return. Thank you. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay at Ducks Ditty."

  I had my three children who are 11, 18 & 20 with me and of course our three year old Cocker Spaniel. I was amazed at how clean it was and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I took some fans as it has been so hot so that was handy on the hottest day. The grounds are maintained beautifully and everyone was comfortable. It was a great place to visit some of the sights in Cornwall from and very dog friendly. But be warned it is quite secluded so if you are after the more commercial sights, you will need to navigate the winding Cornish roads. However, if you want more secluded, slower pace where you can explore with the dog, then this is perfect. There is a recommendation of a nice walk with a pub that is dog friendly in the visitors book and we all said we would definitely return to take our beloved pooch there. I would highly recommend booking this place, the owners maintain it so well and there are lovely little personalised touches such as hand made biscuits on arrival and individually personalised cottages, bags with blankets, towels and bowls for the dog. It was simply a very pleasant stay. Thank you so much, we would love to return one day. We have some lovely memories of our time as a family there, the kids were able to get their Wi-Fi working, I was unable to but I didn’t mind, it was a welcome break for me. It was so nice to get them all off their devices and get outside in nature and we all thoroughly enjoyed taking a break from our busy lives.

  Dear Andrea, thank you for such a truly wonderful review of Ducks Ditty. It is always lovely when visitors appreciate the efforts we make to ensure you have a comfortable home base for your holiday. We hope you will get the opportunity to return. Very best wishes from Helen, Gillian and Eleanor x Property Owner

  After our first stay, we fell in love with the property, how well maintained it was, how clean it was and everything there you could possibly need, a home from home. Cannot fault it in any way. All being well we will definitely be booking for our 4th year at Ducks Ditty, it is in a pretty setting, beautifully kept grounds and so peaceful. For us it's just perfect, so glad we came upon it.

• "Even though we had a great holiday and location was perfect the property did lack comfort."

  For instance the beds where uncomfortable and too low. The dining room chairs so hard we could not sit at the table for any length of time. Plus the internet was intermittent. On the positive side the lodge was bright and airy with plenty of space. It was home from home with all the household things you could need. There was a good range of entertainment for when the weather was bad. Oh also for dog owners there is only one poo bin available on the whole sight, perhaps this could be looked into by the owners.

  Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you felt there was a lack of comfort, we will explore how this might be improved. We will pass the comments about the dog facilities to the site owners. Property Owner

  Nice welcome gift, well equiped with all the cooking facilities you need, tv, wifi etc. Lovely peaceful location. Dogs and cats made welcome. Great location for exploring all of Devon and Cornwall. The site would benefit from recycling facilities. As we are used to memory foam mattresses the spring mattress was a little uncomfortable for us, however this is just personal choice.
