The Old Engine House

Lovely cottage, tranquil location

Pros: A comfortable cottage with a fascinating history. We particularly liked the tranquil location.

Fantastic cottage, Ideal for exploring Cornwall

Pros: Lovely, out of the way, typical Cornish stone cottage, but with the added extra of it's industrial heritage. Lovely garden for us and the dog to enjoy, and the local birds gave an amazing dawn chorus.

Cons: Nothing to dislike personally, but some may find the narrow roads (typical of Cornwall), and track up to the cottage off putting depending on the vehicle used.

If we were to come to Cornwall again would definitely use this as a base.

Pros: Great location, lovely setting, great sense of history. Peaceful. Friendly host and dog.

Cons: Nothing!

Really accommodating, great location to get around Cornwall, accepts dogs with a great set up.

Pros: Countryside/ views, location, host, accepts dogs, great set up for dogs

A fantastic property, run by a very hospitable host and dog (Fred) in a very quiet, idyllic location

Pros: We loved the location. Out of the way, rural setting. The accommodation was just right for two people and, although Booking.com says one dog welcome, two well behaved spaniels were allowed! (Sykes website allows for 2 dogs). The host and his dog were very welcoming and it was great to chat with him at times during our stay. Lovely to have a decking area to the rear for the late afternoon sun. Ther location was spot on for woodland and beach walks, all within easy distance of the property. Highly recommended as providing a very peaceful stay. Also liked the fact that the host had a stair gate to prevent dogs from wandering upstairs, so no excuses for this rule!

Cons: Hardly easy to rectify (!), but note the bathroom is on the ground floor by the kitchen but the bedroom is upstairs - so did mean if you need the loo in the night, it is downstairs!

we went away for a good holliday and came back after having a great holliday

Pros: the cottage was super quaint aand clean and tidy it was picturesque like a postcard it was clean and tidy it was a home from home it had all you want and it was so quiet

Cons: the only down facter was it was out in the sticks you couldnt go for a walk as the roads in the area are only wwide enough for a car so walking on them is risky but when we saw the cottage we were so pleassed we had booked it

Very relaxing.

Pros: Very secluded and quiet. Good location to get to the north and south coast. The ideal place to return to after a long day and relax.

Cons: A lack of veiws.

Enjoyable holiday to relax after a difficult 10 months.

Pros: This property is in an excellent location to get to many places around the area and it is very quiet around the place. Robin, the host had kindly left milk, coffee, tea and sugar and there was a vase of beautiful fresh flowers. He was around if needed but left us alone to get on with our holiday, His dog, Fred is super friendly and came to see us regularly. There is an outside decking area to sit and enjoy food and drink when you get back from your travels. There is everything you need at the property.

Cons: I am not great at driving on single track roads however the one leading to this property isn’t used by many people so unlikely to meet another car.

Een uitstekende locatie om Cornwall verder te ontdekken

Pros: De locatie is rustig gelegen met een grote tuin waar het 's ochtends prima ontbijten is. Het huisje is gezellig en knus en voorzien van een wasmachine, magnetron, kookstel en oven en snel internet. Het is onderdeel van een voormalige Engine House waarin machines in hebben gestaan voor een kopermijn, zo'n 150 jaar geleden. De eigenaar (Robin) heeft dit verder uitgebouwd tot een woonhuis en een direct aangrenzend vakantiehuis. Robin was er persoonlijk (met zijn speelse lieve hond) om de sleutels te overhandigen en tekst en uitleg te geven over de accommodatie en omgeving en hij was er weer om de sleutels in ontvangst te nemen en ons een goede terugreis te wensen.

Cons: De bedden zijn, zoals alle bedden in Engeland volgens mij, wat aan de korte en smalle kant. Als lange Nederlanders is het vaak een uitdaging in Engeland om een bed te treffen dat lang genoeg is, net zoals het een uitdaging is om een Engelse pub te vinden waar je je hoofd niet ergens stoot ...

Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, wenn wir in Cornwall sind.

Pros: Ein sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, mit frischen Blumen auf dem Tisch. Gartennutzung, Ruhe, einfach top.

Cons: Die Stehhöhe im Schlafzimmer ist für sehr große Menschen schwierig ... .
