What our customers say about their holidays

  I am a ex travel agent of 18yrs & have stayed at a lot of places so this is my point of view.

  One of the roads which we needed to get to the Rivercrest was closed due to a previous landslide, We were not made aware of this. The caretakers didn’t explain the way to get to Rivercrest very well over the phone, it took a local man to give us fab & easy directions which we found Rivercrest straight away. Just go over the bridge to the West side take a left follow the road along the harbour turn right at the fire station which is in a square take the 3rd turning into North Rd on the right (it is very narrow be prepared to pull over & reverse back for on coming traffic) Rivercrest is up the top on the right hand side where the road forks off to the right, the sign could be bigger on the Gate. You can unload here but no parking as double yellows. You could be lucky as we were to get a space just back down the hill on the left, otherwise parking is pay & display apart from Millpool car park which you can pre book on line, this is hard to get too at the mo as the one road is closed. Pros: Fab views, great facilities in kitchen, cosy little place.prepare for a visit from the locals(seagulls) also a cute little Robin which I named Dave :-) Cons: beds are hard, had a bad back all week, bunk beds not suitable for adults as they state that they are, we had two 60yr olds on them, one kept knocking her head, not good as recovering from a bleed on the brain?! NO HAIR DRYER! This would be a nice touch. Stains on the rug in living room. Larger Tv needed due to positioning of sofas, size of the room & how high it has been put up onto the wall. Sofas not very comfy they could do with new ones. Cushions kept sliding forward on the sofa bed. The 18 steps down to the apartment are very STEEP so beware of this if thinking of booking. Downstairs garden could do with a tidy up. Freezer needs looking at as over freezing. Damp smell in the living room/kitchen area, it is coming from the boiler cupboard. Lit candles but they didn’t help as the smell was bad. Apart from this we had a lovely week but just a few things need addressing. Cheers

  The hosts Roger and Ian could not have been more caring, more helpful and more generous and obviously love to share their beautiful property and surrounding gardens with visitors.

  Upon arriving we were greeted and welcomed so warmly by them and Roger had baked us a delicious welcome cake. We’d ordered a meal which was cooked by Roger to 5 star restaurant standard and the dishes were then cleared away for us. The property is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is in a very peaceful location - ideally situated with a short walk (around 10 minutes) to the spectacular South West Coast Path leading to beautiful beaches. A short drive away is the Bodinnick ferry across to Fowey, and Polperro, Looe and St Austell are also not too far away. We really cannot fault our stay at all and, as experienced cottage holiday renters, Pendower House has to rate as the best we have ever visited. In fact, although Roger and Ian were not a continuous presence during our stay - we left feeling as though we had made some really good friends - and had found a holiday cottage that we’d love to experience again. We highly recommend Pendower House. All through our stay we were made to feel so special and nothing was too much trouble for them.

  The Coach House at Pendower House is an absolute gem of a holiday cottage.

  We would highly recommend and will definitely return. The cottage is cosy, comfortable, extremely clean and warm as well as being very stylish and beautifully presented, with everything you need for a fantastic holiday. If you are looking at this cottage you will definitely miss out if you don't book! Within easy walking distance of the coast and in a fantastic location. Our week went too fast and Roger is a superb host and clearly really cares about your holiday experience and can't do enough for you. Our dog Beau loved his walks in the lovely grounds every day and as we visited in February 20 we now need to see the gardens in all the other seasons! Really close to Polruan and Fowey and our favourite days out were to visiting the beach at Lansallos and walking the coastal path and seeing the lovely village of Lerryn and walking through the woods there. Thank you again to Roger, you made us laugh and smile on our holiday and we hope to see you again soon!

  What a wonderful place to stay!

  Location, facilities and cleanliness absolutely perfect and the hosts Roger and Ian really are the nicest people you could ever meet! We loved our chats and their recommendations whenever we bumped into them in the grounds. The home-made cake, home-grown tomatoes, local eggs and other items left for us were wonderful. Our Cocker Spaniel was made so welcome and she settled well very quickly. She loved all the fields and the nearby coastal walks. It really is the perfect location for visiting so many wonderful places such as Looe, Fowey, Mevagissey, Polperro, Charlestown, to name but a few. There are also many fabulous dog walks in the area. Roger, Ian and their lovely gardener have plenty of recommendations including the best pasties in the area - Liddicoat Butchers in Lostwithiel, wonderful! We would not hesitate to come back here! Thank you for a fabulous holiday Roger and Ian.

  The property is very disappointing.

  The gate was broken The steps down to the property are dirty and slippery. The outside seats are dirty and full of green moss so couldn't use them. There was old bird poo everywhere. The property smelt of damp. The curtains had mould on them. The bathroom was so drafty and smelt of damp., The oven does not work. There was dust all on the skirting in the bedrooms. No plug sockets near the mirrors to style your hair. The windows were dirty. Everything felt damp, we bought candles to try and hide it but this didn't work. Was very disappointed. Could do with a good clean-up outside. And the curtains abd rug in the living room replacing. Why was the TV so high on the wall that was ridiculous. Maybe an added touch of some basics like , toilet rolls, there was just the 1 in there. Such a shame. The pictures are not a true reflection on what it was really like.
