  The cottage was listed as an enclosed garden which is suitable for dogs.

  This was not the case the garden is not enclosed the dog could not roam the beautiful massive garden because there were several exit points he could get out from and the garden backed onto other peoples gardens who left there gates open so our dog could escape onto the road. We enquired about the enclosed garden with the owners prior to going and they did put a temporary gate up on one of the exit points, however when we came back to the property after being out, the gate had been left open every time. Meaning that people were accessing the garden that we had paid for when we were out, that makes me feel uneasy and wonder if they were also accessing the cottage itself. We had to close the gate each time we came back to ensure the dog did not escape when we opened the doors to the garden. The owners were very intrusive and decided it would be OK to mow the massive lawn on a Sunday lunch time whilst we were trying to have our lunch on the patio due to gorgeous weather and limited access to restaurants because of the Covid regulations, even though he could see we were eating he continued on his electric ride on mower until it was finished. I would have expected this to be done prior to our holiday. The entrance to the cottage is in a shared courtyard with the owners who have one property and the sister who the other property and we were constantly being monitored when coming and going. Either the owner at the fence looking in or the sister and partner smoking in the courtyard looking into our property The cottage itself was absolutely gorgeous, facilities were brilliant and the views were amazing, we really loved the place however the constant intrusion was off putting and upsetting. We would never go back which is a shame because the place was idyllic!

  Absolutely stunning location!

  The accommodation was 1st class throughout. The owners were very welcoming & explained how everything worked when we arrived, including the Aga, which if you are not used to takes a bit of getting used to. The local pub, the Gunnards Head, although requiring reservations for dinner, has a large garden with lots of socially distant tables which you don't need a reservation for if you just want a refreshing drink. The next nearest pub is the Tinners Arms, about a 40 minute walk away, again reservation maybe required for food, but not for drinks in the garden. If you want a break away from everything this is the place for you, it really is the back of beyond, but St Ives or Penzance is only a 30 minute drive away! Although I would not recommend trying to drive into either of those. For St Ives, drive to St Erth train station and park your car there for the day (£3.70) and catch the train to either St Ives or get off at Carbis bay and walk the coastal path in, absolutely stunning.

  A lovely week away in Cornwall in this lovely cottage.

  On arrival the owner had left fresh cream teas, eggs, milk and dog treats- Thank you! An idyllic location which felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but actually very close to St Ives/Penzance and many other attractions. We used the car 1 day out of the whole week, we used the local bus service which went from the Gurnards Head Hotel every hour (about 100 yards from cottage) and it took us all around the South West coast, it was amazing! And only a 20 minute bus ride to St Ives. The cottage itself was very clean, had everything you needed, and very comfortable. We loved using the log burner as we'd never used one before! The only negative was the TV box was quite difficult to use and we couldn't get all the channels, but that's nothing major. Would highly recommend, we absolutely loved our stay!

  We loved our stay at your lovely cottage, the little extras made all the difference, the cream teas, eggs, milk and doggy treats, the lovely crisp sheets and duvet made me not want to get out of bed and then the amazing fluffy towels were to die for, the cottage was so cozy and warm, we had a afternoon of rain and were soaked through so we lit the log burner and sat having cosy snuggles, on the sunny days we sat in the lovely conservatory looking at the beautiful flowers in the garden and listening to the birds as it was so peaceful and relaxing, we walked around the paths to look at the amazing views that you can see from the windows of the cottage, it's such a lovely place to stay and unwind with lots of home comforts, thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely cottage

  Lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings.

  A bit tricky to find but a very helpful neighbour showed us the way. Owners were very thoughtful, leaving milk, fresh eggs, flowers and full cream tea which was most welcome and a nice added touch. Beds were super comfy which led to a good nights sleep, and no traffic noise or light pollution at all, just the cow’s mooing Nextdoor waiting to be milked. We used the log burner, because it was there, it wasn’t even that cold but I’ve always wanted one. Did all our cooking in the cottage and everything worked, loads of utensils, plenty of pots and pans and proper wine glasses!!! No negatives other than getting used to a downstairs bathroom but then that is normal in cottages. All in all a great week, visited Marizion, Lands End, Sennen Cove, St Ives, all within half hour drive.
