  We had no access to any of the facilities promised by yourselves.

  No spa, no sauna, no gym. Very little was provided in the property. There was out of date milk in the fridge and the room with two single beds smelled of damp and the ceiling in the lounge/kitchen was stained badly. The bathroom had broken tiles and the seal around the shower wasn’t done properly and the grout between the floor tiles was broken and coming away. Which probably meant that water was ingressing the ceiling below. Only one bath towel was provided per person for the whole stay. No instructions were provided as to how to use the heating or hot water so I had to text the owner which meant we couldn’t shower or use hot water after a 6 hour drive to the property. I tried to use the hoover to clean the carpet in the lounge and the Hoover stunk of dust. The pillows were flat and no spare ones were provided also one of my pillows had black marks on it. Finally, the listing also stated that there was a garden but there isn’t a garden, just a small grassed area in front of the property with a bench that was too rotting to sit to. The area was perfect to holiday in though and the site was quiet. No parking was available adjacent to the property and when they bring passes back into force anyone with a car renting this property will not be allowed to park because the owner won’t pay for ‘affiliation’ to give customers access to the site facilities. I really feel we should be given a refund given that the owner did not provide any of the benefits listed in your description and we paid a lot more than others with a better standard of accommodation who had access to facilities.

  We have stayed in many cottages across the UK, this was comfortably the best we have ever stayed in.

  So spacious inside, the bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living spaces were of the absolute highest quality. Superbly equipped and very clean and the garden and outdoor area to the rear of the property were just perfect. We are absolutely gutted to be leaving, we’ve loved every minute of our stay at Rowan Cottage. If you turn right out of the cottage, head up the road to the gate, that takes you onto Cubert Common and down into Polly Joke beach - this is highly recommended. It takes around 20-30 minutes dependent on how eager you are - I had our dog so managed it in 20 but a light walk would be around 30, this is a lovely walk and a beautiful beach (best kept secret in Cornwall still after all these years). Recommend the village chip shop in Cubert, Bowgie Inn in West Pentire for the views (and really improved over the last few years) and just near a scenic walk around to Polly Joke featuring Poppy fields around beg - late June. Thanks to the Owner for reaching out when we booked our stay and to Holly for being so helpful in the lead up to our stay. A wonderful cottage, amazingly located. We will be back.

  We had an amazing week at Rowan Cottage.

  Prior to our break we had plenty of information from the owners and Holly, including a call the day before to give us any final information we needed. We had high expectations but when we arrived our expectations were exceeded. We were met by Holly who came to make sure we had everything we needed and she gave us information on local places to visit. She had also left a few welcome goodies which were appreciated and enjoyed. The cottage is beautiful, we felt like we were the the first guests to have stayed there as it was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The master bedroom and en-suite is amazing, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and the lounge is comfortable and welcoming. The outside warm shower was brilliant for the dogs. The cottage is in a lovely rural and peaceful location. Polly Joke is walkable and other beaches are a few minutes drive. It is a great base for exploring the area. We wish we could have stayed for longer but hope to return again soon. Thank you to the owners and to Holly for such an wonderful break.

  The overall first impression of the cottage was lovely.

  Clean, tidy, fresh and inviting. It's only on closer inspection and throughout the duration of our stay little things became somewhat bug bearing. The downstairs bedroom smells very damp. We opened the window and kept the door closed as we weren't actually using to other than to store our cases. The upstairs bathroom needs attention, the bath seal is awful, brown and stained and the sink has a big cracked in it too. The TV in the main bedroom is there but doesn't work and if you didnt know how to survive without any WiFi or mobile phone signal, you're about to find out as there are absolutely no mobile or fixed routers or hotpots to host Internet of any kind (including mobile data / 4G). So whilst we did have a lovely time and the cottage is lovely too, there are a couple of easy fixes to make it a 5 star stay. On a plus though... the cottage is fully equipped with utensils, towels, linen and cleaning goods. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't dwell too much on the negative bits.

  We had a wonderful week in Rowan Cottage during February half term.

  It has everything you need for a holiday with a dog, including dog food & drink bowls and a warm hose outside. The cottage is warm and very comfortable, with a cosy living room, airy dining room and warm, spacious bedrooms. The bath is fantastic! It has the most fabulously stocked kitchen I have ever come across, so catering was easy, but we also enjoyed meals and a pub quiz at Treguth Inn in Holywell Bay. The village shop & bakery are easy to walk to & handy for essentials, we bought fresh eggs from next door and Newquay is only 15 mins drive away. The village fish & chip shop was unfortunately shut while we were there, but I can recommend it from previous trips. Despite the windy weather, we had some fantastic walks over the common to Holywell Bay, Polly Joke and Crantock beaches and some lovely coastal path walking. Watching seals near Fistral beach on a very wild & windy day was a highlight of the trip.
