Corner Cottage, Stokenham - BEWARE!

Me and my family stayed at Corner Cottage, a small holiday cottage in Stokenham, Devon, last summer for a weeks holiday. The experience was very much not good. I was going to leave an appropriate review on tripadvisor, but unfortunately the cottage wasn't even listed there. The only online place I could find for them was www.southdevoncottage.co.uk which is their website.

If you are thinking about staying there, please, please, please, don't.

We have been trying to get our deposit back from the owner now for over 6 months. We have spoken to him on the phone countless times, every time we speak to him he says he will send it, and it never arrives. Customer beware, this man is a fraud and a thief, do not do business with him.

The cottage itself was riddled with damp. The kitchen was nice, but that was about it. The en-suite shower in the double bedroom was broken - the screen door wasn't properly attached and kept coming off. The main sitting room smelled so horribly of damp and mildew that we couldn't even sit in there. There is no wifi in the place, no air conditioning, even though it's on the south coast and swelteringly hot, and the place just smells rotten.

The worst part of all however, is dealing with the owner. Please, please, spare yourself the frustration and the trawl through small claims court, and just stay somewhere else.
