Tacker Street Cottage is a charming, rustic retreat set in a tranquil and picturesque location, ideal for those seeking peace, nature, and a digital detox. Guests consistently praise the beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, and the warm, welcoming owner. The cottage is well-equipped for a simple stay, with an open fire and plenty of character. While some mention dated décor, limited water pressure, and access challenges, most found the experience relaxing and memorable, especially for walkers and families. The cottage offers excellent value for those who appreciate simplicity and the beauty of the countryside.
Most guests found the cottage reasonably clean, with some highlighting good standards, especially given the age of the property. A few noted areas needing improvement, such as the bathroom and under furniture, but these were not widespread concerns.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for walking, with a lovely garden and stream. Its remoteness is a highlight for many, though access can be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Guests often mention comfortable beds, cosy fires, and a relaxing atmosphere. Some noted the cottage can be cold initially and that the bathroom could be improved, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped for basic needs, with a functional kitchen and heating. However, several reviews mention dated facilities, low water pressure, lack of a proper shower, and some maintenance issues, particularly in the bathroom.
The owner is frequently praised for being helpful and welcoming, and guests appreciated small touches like extra blankets and kitchen essentials. Please note that such thoughtful gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

The owner is very kind, friendly and welcoming. The locals were very friendly. Cottage is an ideal place for exploring Roadwater. The location is lovely and quiet. You have to be physically mobile as parking is some distance from the cottage via a rough path. There is everything you need in the cottage. The interior is dated, but homely.Everything exceeded our expectations.

Tacker Street Cottage was a wonderfully peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. Beds were clean and comfortable and we appreciated little touches like plenty of teabags, teatowels, washing up liquid etc. A washing machine would have been very helpful as a family with children but we planned for this by bringing plenty of clothes and it meant a break from the usual washing routines! No WiFi was good for us to have a digital detox. The children absolutely loved the stream and garden to play in and bridge to access the property. The pictures really don't do it justice as it is a beautiful location (not the best if you struggle with driving down tight lanes). If you like luxury this might not be the place for you but if you value simplicity then this is a great cottage at an affordable price.
