Comfortable cottage
The cottage was comfortable and clean. The weather was cold and wet when we were there and so we were not able to enjoy the garden but the rhododendron blooms were pretty. It was a good place for a base to visit southern Cornwall - Land's End, Lizard Point, Michael's Mount were some of the places we visited.

Peace, Quiet and amazing scenery
A very thoughtfully presented property in a quiet location. Easy access to both North and South coasts and a wealth of fascinating sites to visit in between. The property is so well equipped that if the weather is unkind you can happily spend a day with a good book and the log burner

A Great Place to Stay
This is a perfect place for a quiet stay in Cornwall; a cabin set in a beautiful garden somewhat off the beaten track. Although in many ways remote, this is only around 30 minutes walk into Mousehole and about 10 minutes drive from Newlyn, Penzance and a couple of big supermarkets. You can even walk to Lamora Cove in a couple of hours. Lots of great places to see and a cream tea on arrival. Thank you for a great holiday.

Cosy cottage for two, well positioned for visiting the the Lands End peninsular
The cottage was previously the owners art studio and as such is bright and airy. The conversion has been done to a very high standard, offering a well equipped and cosy accommodation. Penzance/ Newlyn is just a short drive away providing supermarkets and restaurants. The beautiful harbour village of Mousehole is less than a mile walk and is well worth a visit. If you are feeling energetic you can continue along the scenic coastal path to Lamorna Cove and loop back to the cottage. Thankyou to Claire and Bern who made us feel very welcome.

We only stopped for 3 nights but wished we'd booked longer. From the moment of arival we were made to feel welcome, and to say that we were impressed with the accomodation would be an understatement - the garden was stunning, and the simple but tasteful decor in the cottage helped to make a fantastic break. We'll be back!

We were welcomed by Claire and Bern, who had thoughtfully left us a lovely cream tea which was very welcome. The cottage was spotless, set in a beautiful garden. It was extremely quiet, which made it even more relaxing. The cottage is light and airy, with plenty of space and plenty of storage and has been tastefully fitted out and decorated. A perfect getaway for a couple and we can't wait to return.

Easter/Birthday Weekend Away
I took my fiancé for Easter/His Birthday weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Whilst Penzance itself was disappointing, we had wonderful hosts. Fantastic food in Mousehole and thoroughly enjoyed St Ives and our trip to Land’s End. We were sad to leave, the cottage set in beautiful gardens, peaceful and cosy break. Big thank you for lending us part of your beautiful space.

If you want peace and quiet this is the place. Lovely setting in a quiet location but only just a few short miles to so many beautiful Cornish attractions. The property is ideal for a couple and their dog to go exploring. It is well maintained and clean and the log burner makes it so cosy. Being greeted with a cream tea is delightful and even though we arrived a little early we were made to feel welcome. Everything you could need is provided and a very big thank you to our hosts. Would definitely stay again.

Idyllic Getaway
From the moment we booked this property, our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The communication from the property was quick, clear and helpful. The cottage itself is superb, with all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable, homely stay. Claire and Bernard were lovely and approachable, and pleased to help whenever it was needed. The cream tea waiting for us when we arrived was a great touch. Perfectly secluded and private, with virtually no intrusion, the cottage was ideal for a relaxing holiday. Whilst the cottage is off the beaten track, and does require a confident driver behind the wheel, we couldn't complain about the location. Mousehole was a walkable distance, and Penzance a short drive or taxi ride, so still felt close to all links and the buzz of the beautiful Cornish towns. We wouldn't hesitate to book the cottage again, and were very sad to leave. Cannot recommend enough.
