  Little Pippin was simply perfect.

  Immaculate inside and out, spotlessly clean, and with a luxurious design, I can honestly say I have never holidayed anywhere as wonderful as this. I've stayed in many self catering holiday apartments/chalets/lodges, but Little Pippin is head and shoulders above any of them. Things I loved : ALL of it !!! But specifically, the warm and genuine welcome from the owners and Reggie the dog; the glorious peaceful and light filled bedroom with its delicious linens and decadent bathroom; the well equipped and practical open plan kitchen and lounge; the access to the garden for a peaceful sunny read with a cuppa or a glass of vino - and the designated parking space right outside the front door. I'll say it again - perfect ! Ideally located for some lovely walks to Charlestown - which is stunning - and Carylon Bay and on to Par, both of which have glorious beaches just perfect for beach combing. The Eden Project is just up the road, and whilst pricey, is worth a visit just to marvel over the sheer audacity of what has been achieved. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is 20 minutes away by car and is a definite must see - a great way to spend a day. And Lanhydrock National Trust is also beautiful. And the return to Little Pippin after a day out was the icing on the cake ! Thankyou for a wonderful stay - I will be back !

  This property is in a lovely setting with super views.

  It is very well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. Lovely walks to Lyme Regis. Great not to have to use the car. There are a couple of points to consider with this property though. The property suited us as 2 adults, a teenager and a dog. However I can’t really see it working with 6 people as it’s advertised for due to the size of the kitchen/dinning room and seating in the lounge. The garden is secure which is great if you have a dog, However, it should be noted the gates on the driveway need to be shut to achieve this. We don’t have a large car so we were able to manoeuvre our car to be able to shut them. Not sure how easy this would be with a large car and certainly not with 2 cars. Unfortunately we didn’t find the sofas or mattresses particularly comfortable which meant no great night sleep for anyone. Overall the great weather and setting of the property meant we enjoyed our week away but I would be unlikely to return to this property.

  Little Pippin is a granny annexe attached to the owner's main home in Carlyon.

  It is a short walk into Charlestown and was ideally situated for travel to Mevagissey, Fowey and Truro area. We thought the property was beautifully appointed, very modern and had all the equipment we required. The owner was even kind enough to leave us a pint of milk so we could have a drink after our very long journey. Do remember to bring your own dishwasher tablets and soap powder as these are not provided but otherwise there is plenty of cleaning equipment. I would suggest a couple of improvements such as a bedside table and lamp for each person and the double bed could be swapped for a king size for more comfort. We found ourselves getting rather hot as we were squeezed together. Although the property is advertised as not dog-friendly it is important to note that the owner's rather noisy dogs do share your patio area.

  The Cottage was lovely, very clean and tidy with excellent facilities and so close to the town of Chipping Norton with its shops and many eating places and a very central place to travel to all areas that the Cotswolds have to offer.

  The garden was a bonus and although it was lovely for it to be a wild garden with lots of lovely flowers, the pathway could do with the plants being trimmed so that they didn't "attack" you when you walked to the front door. The plants surrounding the patio area could also do with a trim, as if there had been four of us it would have been a bit of a squeeze to sit and although the higher bushes gave privacy, they could have been cut down a little to allow for the evening sunshine to come onto the patio. Please be aware that the en-suite in the main bedroom doesn't have a toilet, this was completely my fault as I obviously didn't read the information properly, I was still taken aback when I walked in to just find a shower and sink. We would definitely stay at this cottage again.

  A pleasent cottage and location, i enjoyed my stay and appreicated the level of cleanliness as well as some support given by the property manager locating the cutlery draw (hidden in a secret draw to the left of the kitchen sink) !

  The property is well specked, clean and the linen of good quality. To note, the tv didn't seem to have much channel access, including even the basic 5; though i was able to sync my mobile phone with it's screen via wifi and access programmes streamed to it via my phone. For those who suffer from Sleep Apnoea or snoring issues, the bed pillows are excessivley stuffed with foam meaning they wont support your head, leaving one's neck at a 45 degree sleeping angle. You should bring your own or i advise the cottage provide a spare theraputic pillow or reduce the stuffing in the top layered set of pillows. We had to retort to using the spare towels as pillows ! But that said, we still had a good time at the house.
