  I only gave equipment 3 and not a 4 because I felt a few small items were missing such as hand soap both downstairs in the kitchen and upstairs. There is no hand basin in the toilet, though I understand the preference for a washing machine instead of a hand basin (washing machine was very useful) but liquid sanitiser in the toilet would have been useful. Foil would have been useful as is not the sort of thing you think of bringing and more tea towels. also hooks in the bathroom and bedroom doors that are not the stick on variety as they just fall off with the slightest of weight. also the tv remotes really need checking every time as they had a real problem, maybe the batteries. time and time again this is a problem in rental properties as they are never thought to be checked properly. Comfort, generally very comfy, especially the bed which was wonderful. It was also lovely and warm, too warm in fact so we kept turning it off. a good size kitchen lounge and bedrooms too. The settee though was not very comfy for us. Generally we loved the cottage very much, especially the view and the proximity to the beach. I have stayed in Perran most years for 40 years. During childhood I stayed in 'Sunnyside' but now we have a dog and they do not take dogs and it is very expencive so I was very pleased to find 4 Withey cottage with a secure garden for our little dog. Please do not change the garden to AstroTurf monstrosity as that is no good for dogs, wildlife, or children's bare feet as it getting burning hot in the sun and just does not look like the Cornish countryside and a suitable foreground to the fields and sea view.

  Borah Lodge was absolutely wonderful.

  Everything we wanted and needed! The lodge is set on a working farm, is tucked away in the corner and feels private. It’s exactly as described and was cosy and warm. On arrival, the lodge was extremely clean and tidy. There was scones, jam and cream waiting for us and they were delicious! Harvey and coco, the farm spaniels are so sweet and friendly, we loved having them around to visit us! The hot tub is so relaxing and was much needed after a long day walking across the coastal paths. The lodge is situated in the best place possible for exploring south Cornwall. Mousehole and Penzance are about 15 mins away and Newlyn is a 5/10 min drive. It’s the best place for fish and chips! St Ives is about 30 mins away and the amazing Kynance Cove and Lizard point is an hour away but well worth the drive. If you have a dog, Porth Kidney is the best beach around Highly recommend the Lake Side Cabin Cafe in Lelant for cream tea. The biggest and best cream tea and cakes we have ever had!! Overall, great location, relaxing, clean, tidy and exactly what we needed. Thank you!

  We have stayed at this property a number of times over the past couple of years, we have noticed a general decline in standards this year. The house needs a good refurb and painting, the paintwork is dirty especially downstairs, although the house is generally clean, the beds, bedding and towels were fine. There seems to be a general lack of attention to detail, there's not a set of six of any type of glass or cup, only 2 wine glasses and one beer glass!!, the house is meant to sleep six!!. The mattress on the double bed in the front bedroom is very uncomfortable it needs replacing, one of the patio chairs is broken and was just left propped up against the wall, the garden front and back look generally unkept, the grass was cut this time but was so long in April we couldn't use the garden. We have loved staying here but the house needs some work done on it to keep it up with the standards of other properties for the same price. The positives are the house is in a lovely village with the beach, pub and two cafes on your doorstep.

  We had a lovely time at Borah Lodge.

  The hosts were there if we needed them but left us to our own devices. The lodge itself is everything we expected and more. The bed was the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced away from home, the lodge was beautifully warm, the hot tub awesome as it is undercover so when it rained we could still use it. We were met with fresh scones, jam, cream, tea, coffee, sugar and milk which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. When booking this lodge I did have reservations about the two chairs in the front room instead of a sofa as my husband and I like to cuddle up when watching TV. We needn’t have worried as the chairs were very comfortable and when pushed together we still felt close. Tv in the front room and bedroom were a good size and we moved the DVD player from front room to the bedroom when needed. Only draw back is that most things are a good 40 mins to hour drive away but we knew that when we booked. Fantastic lodge in every way!

  The cottage is well located and is only a short walk to the beach and SW coast path. The local pub was friendly and served good quality food. Across the road from the cottage was an excellent cafe. The cottage was clean. There were some things that were not so great. The garden was overgrown and untidy, which is a real shame as the cottage has a great view and was one of the reasons we booked, but this impacted enjoyment of sitting out. The cottage has been well loved (which is fine) but some items of furniture need replacing - the double mattress in the front bedroom was thin and uncomfortable, one of the patio chairs has a broken seat and needs repairing/ replacing. For 6 people, the cottage also needs more usable glasses/ cups - one pint glass and 2 wine glasses is not enough. Overall, it was OK because of the location but I probably wouldn’t stay in this particular cottage again unless they resolve some of the issues mentioned above.
