  Well presented cottage with a good level of amenities including a well equipped kitchen.

  Great quality beds and showers, very comfortable. We visited to spend time with family who live in the village but also had nice days out. No issues parking for us, also used the great bus service and trains from Redruth. Couple of minor issues, the addition of a handrail on the stairs would be helpful , especially for night time trips to the downstairs loo. Sleep was often broken by the church bells opposite chiming every hour, as lovely as they are, it took me a full week to adjust to them . Having some recycling bags to put out with the rubbish would also be good. I bought some smaller mugs (left them there for others) as the gorgeous ones supplied were too much for myself and mother in law. The vacuum cleaner was very smelly when I tried using it, the bag was full to bursting , with no other bags supplied. We also found on our first morning that both bathroom sinks and the wet room drain were blocked so they didn't drain. I couldn't understand how cleaners had not noticed this ? Cleared them and purchased drain unblockers which seemed to do the job. We have stayed in a few cottages in the village over the years and this is by far the nicest .

  Castle coach house is so lovely, beautifully finished with lots of space and light.

  There is a great utility / boot room which helps keep all the mud out of the main house. The bedrooms upstairs have great proportions and yet feel very cosy, plenty of bathrooms! The open plan kitchen, dining and living space gives everyone the space they need. Sofas and chairs are comfortable. The different lighting options helps to make the mood right in the evening. Lots of classic furniture and trinkets to keep it feeling homely and interesting. The kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games to be used. We absolutely loved the house. Couple of things to work on: maintenance of the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, extractor fans etc is probably due. The sitting room area could do with a picture or two or a wooden dresser with the tv inside a cabinet, and get rid of the fender which takes up space and looks a bit odd. The enclosed garden wasn’t enclosed as the gate is broken. It’s also unfortunately a muddy bog which may be tricky to figure out as it’s at the bottom of a hill. I felt a bit sad being right next to lovely garden areas of the castle which have private signs on them all so you can’t use them.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Chippers.

  It was in a lovely, peaceful location with a long drive and large garden and also an enclosed area just outside the back door. The Kitchen was very well equipped and we found everything we needed. There was an extensive choice of cooking pans and dishes. When we arrived there was a lovely hamper and flowers on the table as well as a bowl of fruit. Upstairs lovely large towels and complimentary toiletries. We thought Chippers had a lovely feel to it. I have only given it 4 stars as there was a very small fridge/freezer which we found difficult to access as very close to the floor and meant a lot of bending down which was difficult for us due to various health problems. Quite a lot to see in the area although usually meant a short drive. We couldn't find any good walks straight from the door. Woodhall Spa is very nice and a short distance away. There was a useful OS map but could have done with a few up to date tourist leaflets about local area. Would recommend.

  Well-equipped with good quality pots and pans and a Smart TV.

  The surrounding area offered good walking and some great pubs and we were lucky with the weather. The owner, Richard, has a large field within 50 yards of the cottage which was great for letting the dog out as the secure patio garden is paved which Bella found difficult as she is used to having grass to relieve herself on! The cottage is built over a stream which is delightful - we had regular visits from an egret who came to fish. The outlook from the property is onto a large concrete yard and the owner's house and farm buildings, although these are not used for animals. There is a caravan park whose access is past the cottage through the yard to an area beyond the farm buildings. For a winter visit this had no impact as we were not using the patio and the caravan park was pretty dormant, but we wondered how this would impact a holiday in the height of the summer when there would be more activity.

  I was disappointed that the property had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and was not to the same standard of other holiday properties I have rented and expected.

  There were cleaning products available, so I started my holiday cleaning the bathrooms! Unfortunately there was no vacuum cleaner or broom available to sweep the floors. Important when the property allows dogs to stay and it is expected to leave the property in the same state as arrival . I reported this the next morning at the local office. Unfortunately, no vacuum arrived during our stay, as was organised. It would be helpful to have more information in the 'useful information' folder on recycling/rubbish and how to leave the property on departure. The property did have a lot of extraneous objects, papers, letters etc., cluttering up the window shelves and drawers of furniture. This is a lovely property and we enjoyed our stay. It just needs a good sort through, removing unnecessary items and make sure the essentials are cleaned prior to clients arriving.
