Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-kept. There are a few isolated comments about the need for decoration and a loose slab outside, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local attractions and beaches. The estate gardens add to the charm, making the location ideal for guests seeking both relaxation and exploration.
While many guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, there are some remarks about sagging mattresses and the need for better ventilation for the wood stove. These issues suggest room for improvement in the comfort of the accommodation.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. However, comments about outdated bathrooms, poor quality hair dryers, and blunt kitchen knives indicate that some facilities could benefit from updates and maintenance.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful welcome hamper, which includes treats like cake and marmalade. While these gestures are appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

A beautiful setting in rural Cornwall with easy access to many stunning beaches and full access to the lovely Bonython Gardens. The cottage is spacious and very well appointed. Minor issues were dealt with in a friendly and efficient manner. Well worth revisiting in the future.
