The Old School Cottage, Tincleton

Mr Carter, Hucknall, July 2018 “BEWARE!- Multiple businesses on site, not only a "small" gallery. Concerts, Yoga, Life drawings and art exhibitions. Open to the public and strangers hanging around near the windows of the cottage, making your dogs bark, to which the owner complains! On arrival, you will be issued with a plant pot and stick to dispose of your dog waste in the neighboring Cornfield! Blinds down all week for privacy as shower room is downstairs also. The outside bin was small, full and had maggots. Door does not lock from the inside only outside. Definitely would not recommend to anyone, especially if you have children or dogs.”

We stayed at the Old School Cottages and from the outside the building was lovely. Inside the standard of equipment was terrible. On arrival we decided to make ourselves a drink but all the mugs had brown stains on them. The microwave door smelled awful and after opening it the interior of it was rusty and deteriorated. The non stick pan was really scratched and in a very bad condition. The hob and oven was also in need of a good clean. The dining chairs were very old and not the ones shown in the images on the website. The log burner was in need of a good clean along with all the windows. On booking this cottage it said it was suitable for more than one couple. To enter the bedroom upstairs you had to pass through an open area with a double bed to get to the bedroom with two singles. This was not ideal in terms of privacy for both couples. The bathroom didn't have it's own light switch. The light switch which controlled the bathroom also controlled the bedroom lights. Not ideal if someone wanted the toilet in the middle of the night. In terms of storage there was one set of drawers for four people. There was no wardrobes or any rails to hang clothes. Eventually after four days after asking for a replacement microwave and some new clean mugs they turned up. We had to buy new mugs and a frying pan as we needed them for the first 4 days. We did not enjoy the stay as the standard of the equipment inside the cottage was very poor. It spoiled our holiday and we will never book these cottages again. Please be warned!

Roomy cottage environment,good central place for discovering different interesting towns etc, weather was excellent, safe parking,

We were made to feel very welcome by the owner. The cottage was perfectly located to explore the Jurassic coast. This was the perfect, cosy cottage stay that we wanted. Thank you.

Very relaxing and loved the wood burner! We had a fabulous time walking and visiting the coast.

The Old School Cotage is very secluded and quiet. But within a short 10 minute drive to local attractions and amenities.

We had a wonderful welcome to this cosy cottage. It is in a fantastic location for days out with young families and dogs. The Cottage is well equipped, warm and comfortable, and has the added bonus of an art gallery and framing shop within the grounds. My family and I are looking forward to returning for more adventures.

A lovely cottage for the 4 of us with a lovely garden to play in too.

Our week in this cottage was excellent. For anyone taking dogs it was perfect as there are no carpets downstairs thus reducing anxiety about hairs and mud. There are loads of long and short walks straight from the door. Facilities for people were pretty good too!

We were given a very nice welcome. This was a lovely place to stay, the weather was reasonable for the time of year and there are lots of beautiful places to visit. I would definitely recommend The Old School House Cottage. The amenities were perfect, and it was a "home from home" with more relaxation.

We had a wonderful time and everything worked out as we had planned. Thank you once again.

Excellent stay for a family.

It was a really pretty setting, and very peaceful. It was the perfect base for exploring and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Warm welcome from the owner when we arrived and she saw us off when we left. We felt very comfortable. Underfloor heating was nice and constant hot water meant we didn't have to think about it. Lots of good walks around the Cottage in a quiet rural area.

Warm welcome from the owner on arrival. We felt very comfortable and at home.

Excellent location for accessing many tourist attractions. Clean, comfortable cottage in a very tranquil location.

Great little cottage ideal for a base camp for a family. Lovely new property with everything we needed for a holiday.

Welcoming fire in the wood burner welcomed us on arrival. Still fairly new conversion into a holiday let. Well equipped. Good base for exploring Dorset

A lovely well equipped cottage, beautifully situated and very dog friendly too! The owner was very kind and hospitable and we wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A lovely location and very friendly and helpful host.

Clean and modern property with all amenities. Very welcoming host and central for sightseeing.
