  We arrived when it was dark and the streets around aren't lit so bear this in mind.

  We found it easy enough and parking is right outside the property which was convenient. It is very dark as it's the countryside but they have a light on the porch which was useful but sadly no light in the garden so my dog wouldn't really go in at night. It is a good size garden and pretty much enclosed my dog never escaped however it isn't connected directly to the door, not such a big deal but something to consider. The property was really clean and nicely furnished. However we arrived to no lights or heat on which wasn't ideal. However the heating soon got going and the log burner was a great addition. Personally i think due to the size this place is better suited to solo travellers as it is quite small. The bathroom is nice and i enjoyed a bath as it was such a lovely bath. Shower is hot and powerful. It was very peaceful here, so quiet, virtually no noise at all which I loved. Wi fi was great no issues. The owners lived next door and were there if needed which was great but also left us to it and gave us our privacy. The bedroom looks out onto part of a garden with a bird feeder and it was lovely to hear and see the birds each day from the bedroom window. They kindly left some scones and basic essentials which were useful including poo bags which came in handy. All in all I had a lovely stay here. There is a nice walk if you come out of the property take a right and your first left you can walk down a country lane with stunning views ( hardly any cars around) and to a little stream. This walk was great for the dog each morning before we went off exploring cornwall each day. I would recommend this property and would happily stay again, thank you to Julie and Andrew for being so lovely and accommodating during our stay. Me and the dog had a great holiday.

  We have stayed at Owl House many, many times and keep returning. It is a magical place which offers a real opportunity to switch off and enjoy peace and quiet in seclusion - whilst being in a location that makes all the local attractions and coastline easy to reach. We are not lovers of returning to the same place but have made an exception over the years with Owl House because we have yet to find anything better for just 2 adults and a dog with good access to the North Cornish coast. Yes, it is small but as the description says it is a converted Shippen! It has everything you need and is more than comfortable for a great holiday. Contrary to previous reviews there is really nothing wrong with either access or parking. Yes, it is down a tiny access lane but it is Cornwall and the real beauty of Owl House is its location in what is a tiny hamlet. We will be there without fail in 2018.

  The cottage is in a stunning location which makes it.

  However, it wasn’t entirely clean, there were finger nails on the table underneath the cook books. There were also no settee cushions (only decorative ones) on the backs of the settees making for very uncomfortable seating. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. The hot tub was dirty (I have photographs) and so full of bubbles and chlorine (because it hadn’t been cleaned) it stung our eyes. It also ruined my silver jewellery, which I have never had a problem with wearing in a hot tub before. Again down to the amount of chlorine. My jewellery is very sentimental to me as most of it was bought as gifts from friends and family, so this I am most gutted about. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this beautiful cottage based on the above.

  The cottage is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a quiet get away!

  me and my partner spent the whole weekend in the cottage with out really feeling the need to leave, everything essential for a weekend stay is provided in the cottage all that we had to worry about arriving with food and water lol! The hosts do a great job of ensuring the bedding, towels, bathroom and kitchen utensils are spotless. The cottage was immaculate upon arrival and it is clear to see the cottage is well looked after all year round. There was one slight issue we encountered and that was the fact the hot tub wasn't heated and ready upon arrival................ However, this is very much a first world problem and would 100% not effect my decision to stay here again in the future!

  This is the third time we have stayed at this lovely cottage.

  The location is amazing and the cottage is really lovely. It was a treat to arrive to see it had been refreshed with a new carpet etc We only have a couple of niggles: the tv is tricky and this time we did ask for help which was forthcoming. But the device isn’t great tbh and we had to sign in to our own Netflix account. It is also really tricky to get towels dry so we always take our own plus some beach towels … some more hooks in the bathroom and another heated towel rail would be amazing as the damp sea air has sometimes resulted in a boring trip to the laundrette in Truro to wash and dry towels! That said, we love the cottage and will return next year: highly recommend it ;-)
