    Found the lay out a bit different but wasn’t bad. Would be better if the bbq spot was cleaned and spider webs removed prior to us coming.

    Was very nice and comfortable and so clean. Great location

    Was attracted by online photos of a small outdoor area showing chairs and BBQ. Unfortunately this was spoilt by a neglected garden entrance , a build up of cobwebs and bird droppings. As this is the entrance to the property it gives a poor 1st impression of what is beautiful accommodation. All that’s needed is a clean up and it will be perfect.

    A quaint little cottage …almost a “tiny house!” Beautifully appointed with quality fittings and decor. Very clean and comfortable. Ideal for a short stay. Well priced compared to others in the area. 4 minute drive to the heart of Sorrento.

    The Wifi was very, very slow, but since I was only staying for a short time and had good mobile reception I didn't check for any reasons or asked to have it looked at, so take that with a grain of salt. Maybe it was just acting up as technology does.

    Beautiful, comfortable and very nice and helpful hosts! I loved the heat lamp in the bathroom, that was a pleasant surprise as it was still rather cold while I was there :)

    A suggestion, not a complaint: Perhaps an electric frypan to cook breakfast etc. and a little long life milk in fridge on arrival. Uber and taxis hard to get in the area.

    Accomodation was very comfortable, and it was a quiet spot. Host was great! Complimentary wine and chocolates were a very nice gesture. :)

    We loved our stay at River Cottage! The check-in process was easy and the accomodation was private, modern and neat. Lovely big TV and good heating which is appreciated in Winter. The cottage is in a great spot, only a short drive from Rye and other popular locations on the Peninsula. Thank you for a great stay!

    I was a bit sad that I could not watch Netflix on the tv as my phone is not compatible with Apple. I did get over it quickly 😁 The key safe was a bit of a struggle as it was temperamental. Took a few goes before it would open. Neither of these were big enough issues to affect my stay.

    It is a beautiful little safe haven. Absolutely loved it. Greg was very helpful when I contacted him on arrival as I had concerns of my little dog getting out under the gate. He assisted to ensure my fur baby was safe. I enjoyed the complimentary wine and chocolate too. River Cottage had everything I needed to enjoy my stay.

    The separation of the bedroom and the bathroom. You actually have to step outside to cross to the bathroom - going through 2 flyscreens.

    Well equipped, nice extra touches (decoration, bottle of wine on arrival)

    Nothing

    We loved the layout. Instead of creating one studio space, this has two separate spaces. There is a sweet little courtyard with seating and birds visiting. Modern and stylish decoration. The owners obviously care about their accommodation and were excellent to communicate with by text and phone, if needed.

    Everything is modern and in great working order so there was nothing we didn't like.

    The river cottage is in a quiet location and an easy walk to the beach and shops. The room is a good size and the facilities are modern. There is space for a boat and having the ability to take your dog on holidays too is a bonus.

    Having the bedroom separated from the bathroom was a little inconvenient in bad weather. You have to step out of the bedroom door and through an opposite door into the kitchenette and bathroom. That was the one and only thing we didn't like - otherwise, a great place.

    Lovely quiet location, not far from cafes and beaches. Cean, comfortable, with a spacious bedroom, a great little retreat that had everything we needed. The host, Greg, kept in touch and offered help with anything we needed.
