Guests say
Eldamar Cottage in Cornwall receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, cosy atmosphere, and thoughtful touches, including welcome gifts. The property is well-situated for exploring local attractions and offers a quiet retreat with a beautiful garden and conservatory.
The majority of guests describe the cottage as very tidy, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. One mention of a damp smell and crumbs suggests a minor inconsistency, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is consistently noted.
The cottage's location is praised for being peaceful and quiet, with easy access to local towns and attractions. Some guests note the rural setting and proximity to walking paths, although one review mentions a lack of kerbside walking, indicating a potential issue for some visitors.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of the conservatory and comfortable beds. The presence of a log burner and central heating contributes to the overall comfort, although one mention of dampness in a bedroom slightly affects the score.
Reviews highlight the well-equipped kitchen, good central heating, and generous resources. Some guests suggest improvements such as more TV channels and fans for the summer. The mention of a small fridge and damp conservatory indicates room for improvement.
Many guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts and helpful tips from the owners. However, it is politely noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Falmouth 3 miles. Eldamar is a traditional stone Cornish cottage, pleasantly situated at the end of a terrace in the rural hamlet of Trenoweth, yet close enough to the village shop and pub only 0.7 miles away, a 24 hour main chain supermarket 1 mile away, beaches within 3 miles, beautiful Cornish gardens and the historic towns of Falmouth and Penryn. It is ideal for families or a couple seeking extra space. Pets can enjoy long walks up the lane by the side of the cottage. Eldamar has its own private parking area with a gate into the enclosed front garden, all visible from the conservatory.
The pretty garden has traditional stone walls and well stocked borders.A picnic table is provided for those wishing to eat al fresco. At the rear of the cottage is a further fully enclosed, sheltered, terrace garden with another picnic table and an area for a disposable barbecue. The cottage faces east and the rear faces west, so when the sun is shining, there is always somewhere to sit and enjoy it. The entrance is through a conservatory, a lovely place to sit for viewing the garden and the birdlife outside. Once inside, you will then be greeted by a spacious, open plan, sitting/dining/ kitchen arrangement.There are two comfortable leather settees.
The large dining table can easily accommodate six for meals and board games. This layout, with a half walled, country style, kitchen ensures that the duty cook need not feel excluded whilst preparing meals, and allows easy access to those wishing to lend a hand. Through a door from the kitchen you enter a separate utility room, with a door leading to the bathroom and another door to the rear terraces. The bedrooms upstairs, one double and two singles, are reached from open tread stairs in the main part of the cottage. All bedrooms have wardrobes and drawers.Pleasant views can be enjoyed of the surrounding countryside, Argal Lake, and also Falmouth Bay on a clear day.The cottage is cosy, homely and welcoming.
The thick stone walls, many of which are exposed, coupled with the wood burning stove and oil fired central heating, mean that whatever the weather outside, you will be kept warm and roasty, toasty inside. After a busy day on the beaches, coastal walking, castle visiting, or garden viewing, Eldamar Cottage is a lovely place to relax and unwind with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. There are books to be read, games to play, DVD’s to wade through. And, should you not wish to be disconnected, unlimited WIFI for a spot of idle googling. However, should you wish to go out in the evenings, there are also a good choice of restaurants and pubs in Falmouth and the surrounding area.
Penryn, near Falmouth, is one of the oldest market towns in Cornwall. Steeped in history, with a timeline of architecture, a labyrinth of side roads, woodland to explore, scenery to take in and a dynamic community of people to meet including a thriving art vibe. Plus, there are a collection of cafe’s, bars and shops to enjoy.
