  Location of the cottage was lovely.

  The owner Jim very helpful and accommodating in getting our luggage down to the cottage due to the steep steps down the cliff. However when we got into the cottage we were greeted with unpleasant smell in the kitchen area which we were unable to find source. The cottage in general was dirty & damp, within seconds of myself & my partner taking our shoes & socks off our feet were covered in sand, not sure the place had been hoovered & mopped before our arrival. The kitchen - there was dirty marks around the edges of kitchen and floor & skirting boards, all surfaces & shelves had not been cleaned, the fridge & freeze have started to rust as well as the inside of the microwave, the oven was dirty & door broken. The bathroom - dirty marks still left on the floor & walls, toilet could do with some TLC as it very loose & a new toilet seat is needed, shower area could do with a good deep clean. The living room - mould spores/marks on the curtains & curtain pole starting rust which is starting to mark the curtains at the top, floor areas again generally dirty. The bedroom - fresh clean bed linen & towels were on the bed, however the curtains had the same marks on as the living room, when getting into bed, the bed felt damp each night. I had to clean and hoover everywhere just so I knew it was clean for our stay. I feel this cottage needs a good deep clean as it not like the pictures currently. Also the parking needs to be explained better before booking, you can only park on the main road and have to complete a 15-20min walk depending on how fit you are back up to your car. Coming down isn’t to bad but going up it is a killer, you have around 160 steep cliff side steps then a very steep hill climb along a small service road to get the main road. Location is breathtaking, and worth the decent, I do take exception to paying the price I paid, and being greeted with something that resembles a squat house. Very misleading with the pictures provided and what you are greeted with.

  Wow incredible views certainly a room with outstanding views of the beach and sea.

  Perfect for two active dogs, open your front door and your on the beach. The cottage had everything you need for a relaxing week,perfectly clean with all appliances required. One of our dogs was born blind this did not phase him walking up and down the cliff. There are lots of steps and short walk to reach the top of the hill if your reasonably fit then this cottage is a must, I was able to take brief rest walking up why wouldn’t you turn around and the amazing views just continue. Jim kindly helped us take our large dog crate up the hill using his winch thank you Jim much appreciated. Husband spent possibly the first day reading Jim’s incredible book…. I will say no more it’s a must read husband was so impressed he asked for a selfie with Jim!! We didn’t need anything during our stay however I don’t doubt Jim Nini would do anything to make our stay more comfortable it was more than comfortable Just a tip bring a torch if you arrive later in the evening after a day of enjoying the beautiful views of Cornwall . Words cannot describe the beauty of this gorgeous cottage Thank you Jim Nini for allowing us for this incredible experience

  Beautiful cottage a real home from home and WHAT a view.

  The accommodation is beautifully presented, well supplied and very clean. Beds are comfortable and all linen is of a high quality. Plenty utensils and crockery, enough for everyone. Everything has been thought through here and the owners have done an excellent job of making this a lovely cottage to stay in. Plenty hot water and heating efficient. There are some beautiful walks with stunning views (weather permitting) on the South West costal path, some pretty villages but take care some very narrow. The downside is the steps, steeper than we thought and some steps are deep and a bit slippy in the wet especially with fallen leaves on, also hand rail was broken halfway down and very slimy from wet. Great caution is needed even for the fittest of people, the step issue should be more highlighted in the description. Also it says dog friendly but I would think seriously about taken dogs, the steps down to lower floor in cottage to front are not good for dogs, they slip and can't get grip as no carpets. You need to keep your dogs on leads and watch carefully. Keep your luggage to a light and compact for carrying up and down.

  We booked this cottage not knowing too much about Millbrook.

  There isnt a great deal in Millbrook itself but there is a fair bit around it. Mount Edgcume is a nice place to visit and Maker Heights was recommended but really wasnt for us. The views over the lake from the property were lovely and it is possible to go crabbing here at high tide which was fun. The property itself is nice but has a severe damp issue - you could see the water in the walls! The utility room was incredibly damp and the owners leave a dehumidifier on 24/7 to try to combat it. The garden is nice and mostly enclosed - an intrepid explorer would find a way out at the bottom so we just blocked that off with garden furniture. The patio door is old and broke during our stay. The owner was helpful and quick at arranging a handyman but really it needs replacing completely. The cleanliness overall was good but could be better. We (4 adults, 1 older teenager and 2 dogs) had a good week here but, if you have dogs, be aware there doesnt seem to be many walks locally for them. Most seem a drive out. Overall we were happy here and had a good holiday, theres just some things that need some TLC.

  Just had a lovely week in the RAME penisula staying at Pentreath.

  The house is cosy and welcoming, and very well fitted out. The upper two floors have 4 lovely decorated bedrooms, comfortable beds and good storage that will sleep 9 (although I think the 3 bed bunk room is more suitable for children). There are 2 showers and 3 loos on these floors so very generous, as there is another shower/loo on ground floor. The ground floor is a lounge, kitchen/diner, and small 'snug' all well presented and fitted out, although at full occupancy it could feel 'busy'. We were two couples so absolutely ideal. The surrounding area is lovely with walks in both directions along the coast, Plymouth is easily reached, the village has 5 pubs, coffee shop, deli, and a Spar, and is delightful and welcoming. If you want to visit this area then definitely recommend Kingsand/Cawsand and Pentreath along with the Halfway pub.
