We simply loved the location, the peace and quiet; and the accommodation. We were made most welcome by Karen, and our holiday was enhanced by this. We hope to return soon and found it central to visiting wherever else we wanted to travel to. Simply lovely!

Cowslip is a beautiful cottage in a tranquil location down a fairly long unmade track, well away from all other traffic, on a working farm. The friendly and helpful owner lives next door and is there if any problems arise but doesn't intrude. The garden is completely private with sunbeds and outdoor seating provided for when the weather is suitableRead more.. The cottage itself is spotless and has good quality furnishings, crockery and cutlery, etc. It suited us perfectly. Hide

Quiet, peaceful and natural surrounding on the home farm plot. A warm, friendly welcome and great local information given to us by the owner. A short walk to a good beach, close to local shops and near a good road for exploring Cornwall. A hidden treasure.

Weppreciated the quiet setting and the comfort of Cowslip Cottage. It was a good base for exploring the area and didn't take long before it felt like 'home'.

This was our third visit to Cowslip! We're always made to feel so welcome and relax as soon as we get out of the car. The location is amazing and, even though the weather wasn't as kind to us as we'd hoped, we made the most of all the local walks. We can't wait to come back.

Wouldn't improve on anything, nice extra touches of flowers, biscuits and tea and good to know the owner was around should we have any problems, which we didn't. Spotlessly clean.
