  The setting is lovely, with many lovely coves nearby and the farmhouse is spacious. The house-keeper Tamara and Jason the groundsman were both great and responsive. But, the experience of staying in this house was not up to Rural Retreat standards. The quality of the kitchen fixtures such as hob and oven, and the crockery was not first class. There were not enough glasses or mugs eg. The frying pans were old and damaged, these were replaced on request. There was also a sense of meanness in what was provided eg although there were plenty of logs for the fire the host provided only one lot of kindling, making it clear in notices that more kindling had to be purchased. This seemed inappropriately scrimping for such an expensive stay over Christmas. The windows in most of the bedrooms need replacing because they rattle with the winds and this kept us up during two windy nights. The one bedroom with a new window didn't have this problem. The water went off overnight due to a failed pump but we were told this was a one-off and it was switched to another pump the next morning. Overall I have given just three stars because it did feel rather like the Farmhouse needs a re-fresh and an up-scale in the quality of provision. This is the first time I have not given a RR stay five stars.

  The Blue Oyster is a very comfortable spacious holiday property for one or two people.

  It has all mod cons and an excellent en-suite double bedroom. I holidayed there in early February and found the two electric heaters to keep the property warm and comfortable throughout the cold days. The property is situated on the outskirts of Mullion village which has two mini supermarkets, two pubs and a fish and chip restaurant. A fifteen minute walk from the village will take you to two excellent hotels with views overlooking the rugged coastline. If walking the South West Coast Path is your favourite pastime then the Blue Oyster is ideally situated for walking all of the Lizard Peninsula. There is an excellent bus service from Penzance to Helston and from Helston to the Lizard village. The owner Dean is very friendly and helpful and is on hand should he be needed to solve any property issues or indeed to offer local tourism advice. I have stayed several times over recent years and I will be booking another stay in the future. I can highly recommended the Blue Oyster for a relaxing, stress free holiday.

  The property was a good base to explore the lizard as we have been here a few times.

  The property was clean but not as comfortable as others we have stayed in. The bathroom had a few problems. The toilet pipes leaked spilling over onto the floor which was not pleasant especially in the earlier hours if the toilet was used as you got wet feet. Not great at 2am in the morning. There was a tin paint kettle at the back of the toilet so the owner new this already. The shower water took a long time to go down. This would bring the remains back up onto the shower floor. This was unpleasant as we had to constantly clean this. There were no wardrobes just a bookcase shelf and two bedside cabinets. The road is quite dangerous as you have to back in to the property on a bend. If the traffic is moving fast this could be a big problem. Lovely friendly dog and the owner was pleasant. All in all it was a good holiday.

  This is a lovely cottage. The living area is very comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished. The outside of the cottage is quite charming and the garden is very pleasant. A delightful and exciting feature of the garden is that you can open the gate and find yourself in the beautiful grounds of a fine country estate. The welcome hamper was indeed welcoming, containing homemade items, which were all excellent, particularly the lemon cake! There are some areas that could be improved. While the en-suite bathroom was very modern, the other bathroom is rather dated. The mattresses in the twin room could do with being replaced by some better quality ones and the knives in the kitchen need sharpening. We really enjoyed our stay. It is an excellent cottage in which to unwind and it is in a great location.

  Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und einladend. Es hat einen schönen Landhauscharme. Die Ausstattung ist gut. Allerdings gibt es ein paar Dinge, die erneuert werden müßten, wie z.B. die Matratzen im zweiten Schlafzimmer, das zweite Bad könnte ein Update gebrauchen, ein Stuhl im Schlafzimmer muss dringend neu verleimt werden, einige Türen klemmen und sind schwer zu öffnen und schließen, weil sie an der Türschwelle hängen bleiben. Die Sauberkeit war grundsätzlich gut, jedoch waren in den Abläufen der Dusche und der Badewanne lange Haare von anderen Mietern, und hier und da gab es ein paar Spinnengewebe mit Spinnen. Letzteres gehört bei einem Landhaus ja fast schon dazu. Wir haben uns aber insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Ambiente des umgebenden Gartens ist wunderschön.
