  My first words when entering the The Barn was “wow”.

  Stunning and the decor was right up our street. It was all done to a high spec. It was myself, husband and three-year-old son stayed here for a week. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners Sharon & Dave. We had requested a stair gate to be fitted to keep our little munchkin safe during night wandering! Dave fitted it for us the night we arrived which was much appreciated. We had some little welcome goodies of milk, eggs and homemade lemon cake, which was greatly received by all of us. It was a home from home space and our little one certainly made himself at home . Everything you need in the kitchen if not more than you need. It was excellent. The washing machine and dishwasher was a godsend also. The barn was super comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful and beds were fantastic as I always dread going away and worrying about the mattress being uncomfortable. We have had some horrific ones in our time . But no problems here. Lovely little courtyard garden which was needed with a little one who wanted to be outside all the time. I was able to lock the gate and no he was safe. It is situated in a very quiet area, it is a single track road to and from cottage, supermarkets were about 20 minutes drive away. But Coverack itself was a lovely little village and was a short distance down a very steep hill, We only visited it once whilst we were waiting for our cottage to be ready, we had a walk on the beach. But it has a little shop which we found was quite expensive,Fish and chip shop and pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay we use the barn as our base but visited many of the well known attractions such as Lands end, penzance, Marazion, Saint Ives, Newquay, Healys cyder farm, Porthleven (fantastic fish & chip shop) Kynance cove we highly recommend, what a beautiful spot. Thank you so much to Sharon and Dave we hope to be back one day.

  Absolutely amazing.

  We booked Carne Mill for a week in Feb as it was our 50th, and our Son's 25th, wedding anniversaries, our daughter & son-in-law also joined us. We travelled down through Storm Dennis which was interesting to say the least, especially crossing Dartmoor! 30mins before arriving we received a call from Pippa telling us that the storm had brought down the power lines to the house. Pippa was most concerned and was working frantically to get things sorted. We stopped off & bought some candles & when we arrived, at dusk, found the housekeeper, local electrician & the Electricity board all working hard to sort the problem. Not to be deterred we settled down to a romantic candle-lit evening of wine cheese & crackers and retired for the night. :-) The Electricity board worked through the night & power was restored by the following morning. What a delight Carne Mill turned out to be. The accommodation was spacious and of the highest standard. The kitchen had everything you could need & the bedrooms were a delight. Getting up in the morning & looking out over Gillan Creek was so restful and we did several walks straight from the house. The two swans in the creek would come over whenever we went outside and would happily take food from your hand. Right at the edge of Gillan creek, Carne Mill is perfectly placed for visiting the whole of the lizard. We enjoyed walking at the coast path from Kynance Cove, Church Cove and Helford & watching the breakers crashing at Mulion. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

  The Hayloft was a wonderfully appointed cottage and at first we were thrilled.

  Unfortunately going downstairs we noticed a musky damp smell. I hardly slept that night and my asthma was very bad. The bedding smelt musky and the next morning we pulled the bed out and the wall was damp and the back of the headboard had small mould patches on it. We had to leave as my asthma was very bad. We left that morning, the owner was away so could not tell them personally but we did ring them. We were assured that if Sykes did not given us a part refund she would sort something out. We had to find alternative accommodation but we only stayed for 3 more nights and had to cut our holiday short. On return we followed up and after several calls and messages to the owner and Skyes they have refused to give us a part refund and say there is no mould! So it is our word against the owner and her cleaner! We have stayed at many Airbnbs etc and have never had this problem We will not be using or recommending Sykes again and we will not recommend The Hayloft.

  We have just returned from what is our second stay at Chenalls Cottage with heavy hearts.

  .why? Why because this is a spectacular cottage that really is beyond compare. It truly is a "Chocolate Box" cottage with every comfort you could ever wish for along with beautiful gardens containing a vast array of lovely trees, shrubs and flowers. A private driveway that can easily park 3 cars. We have met up with owners Chris and Shirley several times now. They are so friendly and fun to be with. They really do all they can to make your stay a memorable one. The cottage is in the best possible location for all the A and B roads, making it so simple to drive anywhere in Cornwall. The beautiful town of Helston being just 3 minutes drive with the cheapest petrol in all of Cornwall! We will definetly be back again in 2024.

  A Glowing Stay at Crab Pot Cottage We’ve just enjoyed five fantastic days at Crab Pot Cottage, and it truly exceeded our expectations!

  This cottage is perfectly equipped—if it’s not there, you probably don’t need it. The highlight for us was the cozy log burner, which added such a warm and inviting glow to our evenings. Despite initial concerns about the cottage being cold, we were pleasantly surprised. The heating is so efficient that we actually turned it down most of the time! We’re already looking forward to staying here again, hopefully in the summer months to experience a different season. A big thank you to Tina for her excellent communication throughout our stay—she checked in to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended!
