What our customers say about their holidays

  We paid £787 for 3 nights and expected more for our money.

  The shower room was tiny, the sink was too small for my husband to shave in. The extractor fan ran continually which was very noisy and disrupted our sleep. There was visible mould on the walls in the shower room. The room obviously needs an outside window. The bedroom was dark and depressing and we spent as little time in it as possible. The window in the bedroom opened into the entrance porch and was not an outside window (this was not accurately described in the property details), we were therefore unable to get any fresh air into the bedroom. The bedroom had visible mould growing on the walls and smelt of mildew. the owners were trying to address the problem by placing a dehumidifier in the bedroom which we were asked to keep on at all times apart from at night. The lounge/kitchen was a good size and well stocked, however the kitchen cupboards all smelt of mildew. The whole property was very clean and in a great location. We are frequent travellers and have stayed in many holiday cottages and certainly feel short changed on this one. This is the first time we have ever given negative feedback. We feel a partial refund is appropriate. We felt we paid far too much at £787 for 3 nights.

  We found the accommodation to be very comfortable and the location is extremely peaceful and it is pleasant to sit out in the evening although no chairs are provided, only a picnic bench.

  There are adjoining holiday properties so noise levels could depend on who is staying next door but sound insulation between the properties is excellent. Minor drawbacks are that freezer and general storage space in the kitchen is rather limited (we mainly self cater). Also there is no external washing line or dryer for items which are unsuitable for putting in the washer/dryer such as swimwear and wet suits. We were unable to find instructions for the tv, washing machine, cooker, microwave etc. Also we found some of the crockery and utensils were not clean on this occasion. There is an imbalance in size between the bedrooms so the property is probably best suited to a couple with children, or just three adults. The owners live on site and are friendly and approachable and would I am sure sort out any major issues. We have now stayed three times and would recommend this property so long as you are prepared for a short drive down the country lanes to access it.

  This cottage is perfect, the outside seating area is pure tranquility especially in the morning listening to the birds.

  The kitchen and lounge area is spacious and extremely welcoming, clean and tidy. On arrival there was a welcome gift of Red Wine and speciality chocolates. The kitchen area was clean and even had tea, coffee etc provided for which we didn’t expect. Tom and Mary had sent us a welcoming text and a contact number if we needed anything at all. The beach is about a 15 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning especially at sunset, I would advise to walk down rather than driving down as the car parks get full very quickly. The local pub The Albion Arms are very friendly, recently they have changed to ordering via the App system which failed on the first night and left people waiting for over an hour, hopefully they have it sorted now. Overall the apartment is in a good location and is perfect for couples to escape to the quite village of Crantock. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and I would 100% stay there again.

  The cottage was lovely and clean, and I would recommend staying there.

  The views are fantastic and there is a lot to do locally. Really appreciated there being milk, tea and coffee on arrival. There is good internet access, and the facilities are very good. There is a 24/7 dairy shop in the near be village of Saint Newly East, which was brilliant. 24/7 cake, ice cream, milkshakes, tea and coffee! 15 - 30 mins from great beaches and only a few minutes from the A30. I have a disability and although there was a frame for the toilet, I would recommend there is a toilet seat riser. The shower is a walking in shower and there was a shower stool available, which was great, but a grab rail would be good. Also, a grab rail at the door to the field would be recommended. The doors are nice a wide which is really good for wheelchair users.

  We were thrilled with our stay at Wheal Kitty.

  We were looking for a reasonably priced, out of season holiday, and Wheal Kitty is worth every penny. The cottage is in an idyllic, rural setting in the centre of Cornwall, which makes accessing popular tourist attractions easy. We were especially pleased by the well-equipped kitchen, which allowed us to eat a variety of meals without paying through the nose at restaurants every night. The cottage was warm and inviting; it was like a home away from home. Our hosts, Ann and Howard Farmer, are clearly attentive and made sure we were comfortable and welcome. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that we are all looking forward to our next stay at Wheal Kitty. I will also be recommending it to any of my acquaintances who are considering a holiday in Cornwall.
