The cottage is quiet with lovely views across the orchard towards the river, and to the church. It has a nice garden and terrace. It was clean and comfortable with pleasant furnishings. However, it needs attention to the damp, possibly rot, in the downstairs toilet, as well as some blown out double glazing units. The parking was really convenient. We would happily stay again if visiting the area.Ian April 2024

"We really enjoyed our stay in Primrose Cottage/Dittisham. The village is very quiet and relaxing. The cottage was just what we needed and we found everything there that we needed. There were cobwebs/spiders around the ceiling in the kitchen but other than that, the cottage was clean. The area to the rear of the property i.e. the orchard was ideal for the dog. It was lovely looking out over this during our stay. Overall, we had a lovely week and we would definitely return Thank you" - Michelle - June 2021

"Primrose cottage was known to be a clean well designed comfortable holiday home by the year’s of reports in the visitor’s book. We had rain every day but managed to visit friends and family for walks . This was the last week of lockdown so the well equipped kitchen at the cottage was so helpful. Super new fridge. Upstairs much comfort , super main bedroom with a very good King mattress and en-suite. Unfortunately we used the second bedroom single mattresses for one night only. Sadly the only poor night. We are sailors so we have been used to sailing past Dittisham. We should have stayed in the beautiful village way before now. Unfortunately there are no more weeks available at Primrose Cottage, so best wishes to all the lucky ones in 2021." Christopher and Lesley. Gloucestershire. - May 2021
