Guests say
The Little Dingle is a well-equipped, clean, and comfortable cottage with high-quality furnishings and bedding. Guests have enjoyed the peaceful garden, the proximity to local attractions, and the welcoming touches from the hosts. While some found the location convenient, others noted the proximity to a busy road and railway. The cottage's compact size was cosy for some but a bit small for others, and there were mixed experiences with the showers' temperature control.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean and tidy, with fresh bedding and comfortable surroundings. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness such as bins not being emptied and dead insects, which slightly affected the overall impression.
The cottage's location received mixed reviews. While some guests appreciated the easy road access and proximity to local towns and attractions, others were dissatisfied with the noise from the nearby A49, the railway, and a timber mill. The lack of footpaths for walking was also a concern for some visitors.
Guests generally found the cottage to be comfortable, with good-sized bedrooms and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned that the living space was small for four adults, and the firmness of the beds and difficulty with shower temperature control were noted as areas for improvement.
Facilities at The Little Dingle were praised for being well-presented and equipped. Guests appreciated the parking space and garden area. Nonetheless, there were several comments about the showers being slippery and difficult to adjust, and suggestions for better lighting and mirrors, indicating room for maintenance and upgrades.
While some guests mentioned a lovely welcome with muffins, tea, and milk, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The main problem was that neither bathroom showers were working properly. We could not get one of them to work. The other one was extremely hot and we could not turn the heat down to a reasonable level. We would certainly come again if the showers were working

The shower door was ver small that only slim people could get in. The water could not be adjusted. The strip lights did not work also the cooker hud light did not work. The seating was uncomfortable and after this stay we my not be using you again.

There were just a couple of things on the downside; the lack of large mirrors, the mirrors in the cottage comprised of one in each of the bathrooms in which I could only see my head (I'm 5' 2" ), there was a shaving \make up mirror in the bedrooms but larger mirrors could easily be fixed to the large cupboard doors in both bedrooms. Also the shower doorways are very narrow, anyone of a larger build would find it difficult to get in or out. Apart from that I would recommend Little Dingle.
