Cottage was extremely clean and tidy and in a wonderfully quiet location. However, you were close to a Tesco superstore (5 min walk away, bus stops being nearby. We left our car on the drive and used buses and trains to get about. Would certainly like to return. St. Ives is stunning.

Lovely well-equipped and comfortable cottage with fantastic views. We especially enjoyed afternoon tea in the patio, it was too cold for al fresco dinner though! There are plenty of walks from the cottage, to Looe, the river side, Polperro, etc.

Great location close to St Ives without the hassle of having to drive into St Ives, with pub, shops and bus stops close by, up a quiet street with off-road and on-road parking. Accommodation was clean, warm and comfortable and well-equipped - perfect for our Xmas break.

The cottage is in an ideal location for Carbis Bay and St Ives. On arrival the cottage was extremely cold and the whole place smelt of damp, even the towels left on the bed were damp. The heaters were on an automatic programme and even if switched to manual kept defaulting to 7%. Luckily we managed to override this. All this was reported and althouRead moregh we had extra heaters delivered the smell was always avoided in communication with the representative. The only way to keep the smell at bay was to keep the temperature up! Response form Holiday Cottages - Thank you for your feedback, our Property Manager has visited the property and there was no smell or damp, we would like to reassure future guests that the heating instructions are present and the system is adjustable to the individual.

Good location for Tesco. No lawn or grass area if you have a dog who likes grass. We walked into St Ives which was nice, but caught the bus back as it was very steep. It is also very steep down to Carbis Bay so we never made it down there. The bed was very large and comfortable but the room seemed a bit damp. We managed to get our car on the drive Read moreand were very grateful to have use of a car charging point, but if you have a large or wide car you may struggle. Easy to get to all of south Cornwall.

The cottage is advertised as Pet Friendly The garden is at the front of the property and we have dachshunds which could easily get through the ranch style gate, so had to put them on their leads every time they wanted to go out.

The cottage was lovely. Bright, spacious, warm and clean. Clean white linen, fluffy towels and a log burner was lovely. There was all the kitchen equipment and utensils you could need. We loved the location, quiet and peaceful but lovely and close to all the beaches and town. We had a fantastic stay and will be back!
