What our customers say about their holidays

  We enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale, Treknow.

  The Victorian house and it's location exceeded our expectations. We know the area and particularly liked the walk up to the coastal path overlooking Trebarwith Bay, then round robin back to the cottage via Gull Rock House. There are good views from the front windows over pasture fields towards The Strand and The Rumps in the distance. The Rear Garden was secure for our hound dog Bertie but the front garden was for the most part unusable due to the road and no front gate. Within, the house was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we can see the owners investment and care in creating a holiday feel. Through a big storm we felt protected and when the sun shone we were booting up for another walk or a trip to the tidal beach, setting up our days according to the low tides. There are some maintenance issues. The bathroom sink and hob are cracked, the shower head bracket would not hold it's angle in place so showering is easier hand-held within the bath. The rear patio furniture could do with an update and the middle gate latch needs attention as it blew open a few times. Minor points though not detracting from our enyoyable break... we were sad to leave and would book again.

  The cottage was clean and comfortable.

  Very convenient for the coastal path, visiting Tintagel and Boscastle all very beautiful. We had some issues with the allocated parking space as it was very tight against a stone wall, where the passenger had to get out before the vehicle could get close enough in for the traffic to get past on the dusty farm track! We also had an issue with a neighbour who covered our car in hedge trimmings and small stones as he believed we shouldn’t be parking there and didn’t bother to ask us to move it before he strimmed the hedge! This was discussed with the owner at the time as it was upsetting and disrupted our holiday. The owner said she would contact the neighbour to resolve the issues. The bed was comfortable however too low for us and the frame was a hazard especially at night. We like a window open at night this was difficult having balcony doors, however we left the bathroom window open for some air. The clothes aider was broken, owner is aware and was going to replace.

  To make future guests stay more enjoyable, it would be nice to have local information on businesses, places to visit and walking routes.

  Locked heating was more than adequate but it would have been nice to be able to turn it down. For rainy days and bad weather, board games or a pack of cards would be a nice addition too. Apart from a couple of tea bags and sachets of coffee provided on the first day, there was nothing else provided except for the empty containers. When we’ve stayed in other cottages, these have usually been filled. Milk and mince pies provided on arrival were welcomed after a long drive, as were the festive decorations and crackers. We both had electric toothbrushes and found the charging point in the bathroom would only work when the light was on. This was a bit of a niggle. Access road was poor but we accept that this is probably outside of the owners control.

  On arrival we found the cottage welcoming and homely.

  We were impressed by the cleanliness and found the cottage was well equipped. We were most impressed by the size of the rooms as they were bigger than the impression we got from the photographs. The beds were clean and comfortable and the garden was a good size with plenty of seating to take advantage of the sun or shade as you choose. We have two small Chihuahuas and they could squeeze under the gate but a 'normal' size dog would be fine. Matt, the owner, lives on site and was very friendly and helpful with suggestions of places to visit I would highly recommend this accommodation and will certainly book again on my nest visit to Tintagel.

  A quiet location at the end of a cul de sac, but very close to Tintagel's village centre and the important pasty shop and coffee shop.

  Also within a couple of minutes you are on the coastal path and able to enjoy the special views of Tintagel Castle. We walked over the coastal path to Trebarwith Strand, but a short drive to the beach means you can spend the day rock pooling, body boarding and sunbathing.The cottage has a lovely little suntrap of a private garden and plenty of off street parking. The owner was on hand to answer any queries and very welcoming. Although the cottage doesn't have any grand views, the convenience of its location, and cleanliness and practicality of the accommodation (all on one level) makes it a definite winner.
