New Year Breaks In Cornwall

What our customers say about their holidays

• Alison - Verified booking

  The property was exactly as described and was full of high quality furnishings and items throughout.

  Some lovely touches such as the scones and cream on arrival and the picnic basket and binoculars, although we had taken our own as I enjoy watching activity out at sea. The blankets were really useful too as although it was lovely and sunny, it did get a little chilly when the sun was setting so these were handy to wrap up in. It’s on the 3rd floor which was a struggle on the first day with the luggage but absolutely worth it and no problem for the rest of the week. Really close to supermarkets and the town centre with everything in walking distance and close to some lovely places to eat. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfy, we both slept soundly for the whole week, annoyed at myself for not seeing which make of mattress is on the bed! Kitchen well equipped with all that you would need with lovely crockery and glasses, again very evident of the high quality. If I was going to have to say a negative, and this would be me just being very bloody picky, the toilet stand in the en-suite was corroded and the seagulls leave a lot of deposits on the furniture on the balcony. Cushions are provided which we used but brought in when not in use to prevent further deposits landing. There was also plenty of cleaning equipment and products so we gave everything a clean down but being on a cliff top the inevitable is inevitably going to happen. This did not spoil our stay at all but thought I’d mention it for anyone who may not appreciate our feathered friends. We loved this place so much with the views and the sunsets we didn’t want to leave and will definitely be looking to book again. Thank you Rebecca and Denise.

  We have just spent a week at Trenannick Farm and stayed in Little Leigh’s cottage.

  It was perfect! We were given a warm and friendly welcome from Nick and Jules. The cake and fresh eggs were an added bonus. The cottage was clean, warm and cosy and had plenty of space for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. It was like a real home from home and had everything you could think of. The surroundings are beautiful! From entering the drive to the play and eating area it’s all well kept. My children really enjoyed the play room especially the darts and table tennis and we even had a game of boules. Nick and Jules were kind enough to let them walk the Alpacas. It was our first visit to Cornwall and we wanted to visit some of the local areas and Trenannick was the perfect base for that. There was an handy guide that they had put together to give us ideas of what to do or where to go and where the nearest shops, supermarkets and restaurants are which was very helpful! It was always nice when we got back to have a chat with Nick about where we had been that day. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you Nick and Jules.

  We had the most wonderful stay at Little Leigh's this past week.

  Jules and Nick are kind, knowledgable and gracious hosts. From the moment we arrived, we were met with the most beautiful surroundings, stunning well-equipped cottage and the kindest hospitality. The cottage and grounds are perfect for families with a built-in play area, variety of outdoor cozy seating areas and a menagerie of gorgeous animals. The location is perfect for exploring North and South Cornwall. Nick and Jules are so knowledgeable and were on hand to provide great tips for exploring the area. The cottage is lovely and has all the amenities needed. We would highly recommend to everyone! Huge thanks to Nick and Jules who were exceptionally kind to us and our young son. The alpacas were the firm favourite and we are very grateful for the opportunity to walk and learn more about them. Our son is still talking about the fun he had with Nick, Jules and the alpacas! Memories made here will live on for a long time! This cottage and the hosts are truly exceptional and we can't wait to visit again! Thanks so much for the wonderful time!

  The only issue regarding the facilities is that there is only one off-road car parking, although there is street parking close-by.

  We were aware of this before booking. I cannot recall if the information provided prior to arrival indicates that the front third of a building is in fact a private dwelling. We had a plumbing crisis during our stay involving water over-flowing from the main bathroom shower, passing through the bunkroom light fitting en-route to the floor below. A combination of luck and quick-thinking on our party gave us time to remove the soft furnishings and place buckets, so no long term damage. The person occupying the bunkroom for four nights had to sleep the last two on a mattress in the lounge. The owner responded well to the issue and appeared to have resolved it the following morning. Unfortunately there was a minor overflow the next day from the same shower. We reported this and we assume it was dealt with, but received no feedback. We did not use the shower again. Apart from this, we were impressed with the cleanliness, comfort and facilities of this cottage.

  Property details need to clearly state there are the equivalent of 3 flights of stairs up to apartment.

  Making it unsuitable for some. I expected there to be space around the twin beds requested there was not. We had to split them. The idyllic balcony is a firing range for seagulls, on arrival Windows and furniture splattered, and together with 3 very sad looking planters not very inviting. No point of a washing machine without adequate drying facility. The owners have retained out dated and unnecessary Covid precautions. We were asked to strip beds, wipe down surfaces and take a heavy bag full of linen down three flights of stairs together with rubbish bags. Makes it easier for cleaners I suppose but not what we've experienced in other properties. To sum up high spec apartment that doesn't lend itself easily as a holiday rental. and overall experience disappointing.
