Guests say
Tinners Cottage in Cornwall is a cosy and quaint holiday rental that offers a peaceful and tranquil setting. Guests appreciate the property's central location for exploring Cornwall, the secure garden, and the homely touches like a wood burner and games. While some guests mention issues with maintenance and comfort, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy upon arrival. However, there are some concerns about specific areas needing more attention, such as kitchen utensils and the garden, which slightly lower the score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall. The peaceful setting and wildlife are particularly appreciated, contributing to a high score.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, especially with the fire lit, but some find the mattresses and pillows uncomfortable. The steep stairs and limited natural light are also noted as detractors from overall comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample parking. However, guests mention issues with TV settings, insufficient hot water, and the need for better maintenance. The prompt response to a faulty smoke alarm is a positive aspect.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like DVDs, games, and books, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

The cottage was clean and tidy and information was left in folders about the cottage and surroundings. There clean towels placed on all the beds which were comfortable. The parking is ideal if you have a snallish car as it could be difficult if you had a big car due to the lane entering the cottage. The garden could do with the bushes and trees having a good prune and the pond needs clearing as you could not see it due to all the plants at the side. I had to wash several of the glass dishes which were stored under the stairs as they had mould on them and stank of damp/must. The cottage could with a few little upgrades like making the television a smart TV and moving the light switch for the main light as when we first went in had trouble finding it and then noticed it quite high near the ceiling this would be a problem if you were small. A proper wardrobe in the main bedroom instead of a coat and hat stand for your clothes. A little night light you could plug in downstairs at night as it is pitch black instead of switching the main light on and a decent mop and bucket as the head kept coming off the mop. Otherwise the cottage was nice and adequate for the two of us and our dog.
