This is the 4th time we have stayed at a Penpethy cottage. We love it here. It's peaceful, comfortable and near some lovely walks and beaches. There are some good pubs and places to eat. The field behind the cottages is great (and safe) for our dogs. The owners are friendly and helpful. It's a great getaway.

Cosy, comfortable and homely. Our cottage was all we wanted, and more besides. Gareth made us very welcome, from the first phone call, to our arrival and throughout our stay. The location was peaceful, tidy and well kept, the paddock although steep was an ideal early walk for our two Retrievers, allowing them to run off some energy before going outRead more and prior to bedtime. Close to beaches, farm shops and pubs, as well as the attractions of Tintagel and Padstow there was more than enough to do. Hide

I had high expectations after hearing people's comment about Cornwall. However, I feel like most of the comment were exaggerated. I expect to find lots of sea produce sold in lots of places, & perhaps some sea food resto. Unfortunately, I almost didn't see any of them. Most of sea food place are fish & chips shops, which are no different than any oRead morether fish & chips shop anywhere. The beaches are either small, stoney or very rocky. Not many beaches allows dogs too. So, to sum it up "disappointed" Hide
