What our customers say about their holidays

  We had car trouble on the journey down and all week while we were there but that's enough of that .

  When we arrived we were met by Robin and Fred his dog he made friends with our dog toby when we entered the cottage it was brilliant it had everything we needed Robin made us welcome from the start . we found it just as advertised immaculate with all mod cons as the week went on we had car troubles all week eventually having to hire car to come home. as a result my wife Glenis had to spend most of our holiday at the cottage with our dog toby whilst I was tripping off to spend half my day in garages . But this didn't stop us enjoying our stay, Robin was very helpful and helped us as much as possible, As a result we didn't see much of Cornwall it was because the cottage with all its grounds being such a good place to stay we still enjoyed what could have been a holiday nightmare. It will certainly be a holiday to remember we will certainly recommend this cottage as one of the best places we have visited . Our thanks to Robin and Fred for making us welcome . Richard and Glenis and Toby from Huddersfield.

  Overall, the property was quite excellently presented, it was clean, warm and welcoming when we arrived.

  The hamper of goodies was particularly interesting, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was neat and inviting. Tanya was most welcoming in her texts, and made sure we were settled in and was able to offer advice via text when we needed help. Without wishing to complain, we both are pensioners and found the sofas in the living room far too low and without adequate back support, but I think that is an 'us' problem more than a 'you' problem. My laptop was unable to link to the hub, although our iPads and phones linked ok. For some reason we could only watch you tube on the tv in the lounge, and could not get anything to link and work on the bedroom tv. I am computer literate and can manage most modern technology, so I am not sure what the issue was. I would like to repeat that we had a fabulous time staying at 15 The Moors, and would like to return in the future. Five stars, recommended.

  Rustic and cosy cottage off the beaten track and perfect for couples wanting peace and quiet.

  We stayed for a week over Christmas and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay as well as our dog. Huge outdoor space and enclosed garden to let our dog explore off lead. Well equipped, wood and kindling for log burner supplied for the week. There is also central heating and radiators in each room. Cleaning products supplied, toilet rolls etc as well as towels. There was also a pint of milk in the fridge, biscuits, tea & coffee and fresh flowers. Water was hot and plentiful and hot for washing up and for showering. There is also a table top dishwasher but we washed the dinner plates and saucepans by hand. Robin was helpful and gave us a tour of the cottage on arrival but was not intrusive (he lives next door). There was plenty of room to park our vehicle on a gravelled hardstand. We would recommend The Old Engine House and certainly re-visit.

  My boyfriend and I stayed at the cottage with our 7 month old puppy and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Engine House.

  Robin was the perfect host and his dog Fred, was super friendly. The large garden surrounding the property was perfect for our dog - he was able to run around and explore freely which meant we could feel relaxed, and it was great for him to have an older and wiser dog to be friends with! The cottage kitchen was very well equipped and everything was really clean - we cooked every evening as lots of places were still closed due to Covid restrictions and found everything in the kitchen that we needed. The bedroom was very comfortable with a good king sized bed. The location was a perfect based for exploring local walks but also easy access to head off on longer day drips all round Cornwall. After nearly 6 months in lockdown 3 - the Old Engine House was the perfect change of scenery.

  The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the cottage was lovely.

  The bathroom was a good size though there was a small leak coming from the pipework connecting the taps to the sink. There were great views of the sea from the bedroom windows and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Loads of storage too. A really cute cottage and nice to have the welcome pack of milk, scones, jam and cream. Much appreciated. Lots of areas to sit outside at the front and good to have parking. As others reviews have mentioned it's quite difficult pulling out on to the road as you can't see what's coming. The bus stop is just across the road. Pendeen is very small and quiet but has all you need and was exactly what we were looking for. Great location for walking SW coast path. We had a lovely stay and couldn't fault the cottage.
