Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and cosy. However, there were some concerns about specific areas needing more thorough cleaning, such as kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures. The presence of a dirty plunger and sponge was also noted.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions, including Bodmin Moor and the coast. Guests appreciated the serene environment and the wildlife sounds, although some found the access road narrow and challenging.

Guests enjoyed the cosy atmosphere of the cottage, especially with the wood burner lit. However, there were comments about uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, and the cottage being cold at times. The steep stairs and limited natural light were also mentioned.

The cottage is equipped with essential facilities, and guests liked the extra touches like games and DVDs. Nonetheless, there were issues with the TV, Wi-Fi, and hot water supply for larger groups. The need for better maintenance and updates on some appliances was highlighted.

While guests appreciated the homely touches and the cottage's charm, there were no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

    Very well equipped and excellent location,nice and tucked away.Lots to do nearby and really liked the activity information pack,extremely helpful as we had a few days of not great weather.

  • Peter

    It was clean, well equipped and well situated for exploring Cornwall. A lot of thought had obviously gone into providing things to use on holiday. There were maps, suggestions for days out and even things like buckets and spades for families with young children. We really enjoyed our stay, would recommend it to our families and wouldn't hesitate to book the cottage if we come back to Cornwall again.

    There is a lovely garden but it’s quite neglected. The natural sunlight was blocked from the garden always due to so many overgrown trees. This was a shame because sitting in the garden wasn’t enjoyable as we couldn’t get any sunlight. Lots of overgrown bushes also. Blocked sunlight also made the cottage very dark in side. The facilities within the cottage were good. the description of being able to walk to local pub needs to be updated. It would be quite dangerous to attempt the walk as the roads are windy and there is no room or walking paths for pedestrians. The smoke alarm needs to be moved . Everytime we used the cooker it went off. Also advised in booklet in cottage a full bag of wood would be supplied. This didn’t happen. On our first day, I banged my head on the stairs which was so painful. More obvious signs would be helpful. The hardest things was manoeuvring in and out of cottage driveway. This really needs to be addressed. There were many close calls the entrance could be opened up more to make getting in and out of cottage easier. Overall a pleasant stay, but would we go back- No.
