Reviews

Rebecca 10/10

Great little cottage in the town centre of Penryn. Lovely walks on the doorstep

Pros: Great spot. Pet friendly, lovely little place. Host responded to messages quickly (how to adjust thermostat). Already booked another holiday!!

Cons: Spare bin bags and some cleaning stuff to keep things nice during stay

Lynn 10/10

Cosy and Convenient

Pros: Excellent communication with host, really helpful. The cottage was spotless, very well equipped, very comfortable, quiet, and easy walking distance (5 minutes uphill) to local shops. Private parking available for one car which was a big bonus, plenty big enough for my golf, the road is one way and quite quite narrow so a little jiggle was necessary. We would definitely be more than happy to stay again on future visits.

Cons: The stairs are very steep, (but host had made us aware of that), and the bathroom is downstairs, not quite so good for those of a certain age like us who need nightime visits.

Great location with a helpful host, the house was clean, warm, and comfortable. Would recommend.

Pros: We travelled over Christmas and it was lovely that the house had a Christmas tree with lights for our festive break. Also a nice touch to pop a pint of milk in the fridge for our arrival.

Lovely homely stay

Pros: Very homely feeling and comfortable, well equipped kitchen, short walk from shops, bars and waterfront

Cons: Nothing! Only suggestion would be to provide salt and oil for cooking

Philip 8/10

Nice property in a good location, with own parking.

Pros: Good location close to pubs, shops and cafes in Penryn, and a short walk to the harbour. Having a parking space adjacent to the property was great and, although a little tight for a bigger car, was no problem for a Fiesta.

Cons: Property was a little tired in places and no handrail on the stairs could make it a bit tricky for the less mobile, especially with the downstairs bathroom. A welcome pack would have been a nice touch. Information booklet referred to milk in the fridge, but there wasn’t any.

3 go down to Cornwall

Pros: Nice layout for the 3 of us, generous kitchen and lounge, bedrooms were decent.

Cons: A very noisy street and I didn't appreciate the small parking space.. But I guess in the 1900s they weren't thinking about SUV's!

Very comfortable few days .

Pros: The cottage was very homely. Perfect location for us , close to beaches , area to walk our dog only a couple of minutes walk away .

Gaynor 8/10

We didn’t spend much time in the property due to working, but enjoyed our stay.

Pros: Clean and well equipped. Lots of local facilities very close by.

Cons: Very small parking space. But we do have a large car. Parking is difficult in this area. My husband is 6ft 5” so small staircase and low door frames upstairs were an issue for him. Also the shower was small for him due to the slanted ceiling above the shower head.

Lovely cottage, great for a four night stay for a family of four! Attentive hosts

Pros: Lovely layout, quiet street, well stocked kitchen, fast internet.

Cons: Drive too small to park our car on (we have a very large car!!)
