  Absolutely fabulous cottage full of character and charm, in a wonderful location. Many places of interest on the Lizard Peninsular within a few minutes drive. Cottage was extremely spacious, comfortable and clean. everything you needed for your self catering holiday. Added to which was a good size garden with outside seating and a BBQ so plenty of space to relax and dine outside. The hamper was fabulous, the home made lemon drizzle cake was very moreish and wine was very welcome. The setting was idyllic, having access to the Bonython Estate outside of opening hours was a real bonus with many a pleasant morning and evening walks on estate. The Estate Grounds are absolutely beautiful and really enjoyed listening to the Barn and Tawny Owls in the night. We were scheduled to holiday on the Isles of Scilly, but Covid 19 resulted in us having to change our plans and this was a real find, so in this strange world we are in, this was a positive. It was an absolute pleasure to be welcomed to the cottage by 'Tara' the owners dog who visited everyday on her daily rounds. Certainly will be booking again on the estate and cottage are just so beautiful.

  We had a wonderful stay at Penhaven and would highly recommend it as a base.

  It's very cosy, well equipped and in a great location- close to the beach, harbour and coast walks, right opposite the village store and a short walk to the always welcoming Paris pub. We were in Coverack with our 2 children for the 90th birthday party of a local family member at the beginning of January and we all loved seeing the colourful Christmas lights along the front, very festive! Things which would have been helpful - a hatchet/small axe for splitting firewood. Some of the logs were too big to be useful. We ended up borrowing one. - instructions for the Sky box, we couldn't work out how to use it! (We had our own devices, so wasn't a problem) - the kitchen table is very wobbly! We tried to stabilise it but couldn't. (also the chairs are extremely heavy - some people might struggle to lift them) - the oven could do with a clean. There was a strong greasy smell when it was turned on (possibly it was used to make a big Christmas dinner the week before?!) Anyway, all minor details - essentially it's a very lovely, comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you!

  The Threshing barn is set in a lovely village location perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful holiday. It is about 20 minutes to Truro and Falmouth and also to Porthtowan beach, where you can book surfing lessons and there are cafes/restaurants, beach shops and toilets. As a family of 4 (children aged 15 and 12) the size of the barn was ideal and with 2 bathrooms there were no arguments! I would suggest some hooks to be added in the bathrooms for dressing gowns/ towels to be hung. There were plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped!The outside space is lovely and well-maintained, the patio area has seating and a BBQ - unfortunately the weather didn't permit us to enjoy the outdoor area! There is also two car spaces and a games room with a table tennis table, this area is shared with the cottage on the grounds. We had an issue with the oven the day after we arrived and customer services were very efficient and it was sorted the next working day and It didn't stop us from having a wonderful holiday at the Threshing Barn.

  Spacious, well designed house with nice decor.

  Very much enjoyed staying there. Beds were good, especially in the bedroom at the front - the mattress was excellent. Liked that it was very quiet at night. Full size fridge freezer. Good quality TV. Plenty of space for parking for 2 cars. The property was clean, but the kitchen could have done with a bit more care on the work surfaces, cupboard shelves and some crockery. Bathroom was good but the shower temperature fluctuated and the holder for the hand held part is broken. Suggestions for improvement are better curtains in front bedroom as they let in way too much light, and put in an extractor fan in the kitchen (not just filter fan) to properly vent out cooking/washing up steam. Didn't use the dishwasher as there were not enough place settings to make it worthwhile. Liked the deep draining board to keep down the splashes. A second key would also be very helpful - it was kind of the owner to respond quickly to my text asking about a spare key, but it was a bit inconvenient only having 1 key between us.

  Overall, a spacious, comfortable, quite well equipped cottage in a secluded yet reasonably convenient location midway between Helston and Lizard with limited outside space and no view but free access to lovely estate gardens. Furnishings are essentially fine but the electric Mira showers are rather pathetic and the mattresses on the beds in the twin room feel tired and are not comfortable. The wood stove in the sitting room needs better ventilation as it won't stay alight unless loaded up with rather too much wood. Only occasional helicopter noise (Culdrose is just up the road)but otherwise the only sound is birdsong and wind in the trees. This comment box is annoying because as soon as you start to type your text disappears from sight below your keypad - at least it does on an iPad.
