October 2024

“Lovely beautiful setting with a well equipped comfortable cottage.”

The decor and furnishings were perfect to enable a good relaxing holiday. Situated close to A30 so ease of getting around Cornwall was good.

Mary September 2024

“Our experience at the cottage was excellent.”

it is the best cottage we have ever stayed in, had everything we needed. It was comfortable and clean. The location was perfect for us, so easy to go for a walk on the Camel trail with the dogs straight from the cottage. Not busy and a lovely walk before setting off for the day. Kate is also the most helpful owner I have communicated with for any question I had. Thank you

- Mary, September 2024

I’m so glad you enjoyed your time at Primrose, thanks for such a lovely review. You’d be most welcome back anytime Property Owner
Rachael August 2024

“Primrose is a beautiful holiday home, no expense has been spared to ensure your experience of home from home comforts.”

The usual kitchen necessities you need to bring with you on a self catering holiday was all there, Kate has literally thought of everything. The meadow in front was well kept and so picturesque with the woods as a back drop and the sound of the babbling river, perfect for outdoor playing space and dog walking. A peaceful tranquil setting. The Camel Trail on your doorstep was a plus, everything else was a drive depending on what you wanted from between 10 mins to half hour. We would most definitely visit again.

- Rachael, August 2024

I’m so glad you all enjoyed the peace and quiet at Primrose, and had a comfortable stay. Thank you for leaving such great feedback. Property Owner
Stephen July 2024

“Certainly a hidden gem in Cornwall.”

Whilst appearing off the beaten track it was actually really well located to go off in all different directions. The whole surroundings were blissfully peaceful and the accommodation was of high quality. Kate ensured that all went smoothly, both before and during the stay. Really hard to find fault anywhere. We are likely to stay again in the future.

- Stephen, July 2024

How lovely to read your review Stephen, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Primrose . You’re right, although tranquil it’s ideally placed to explore all Cornwall has to offer. You were a delight to host, and very welcome to return anytime. Thanks for taking time to review. Property Owner
Michael June 2024

“We arrived to a beautiful spotless lodge, lovely views from balcony.”

Very modern kitchen and very comfortable large dining area and lounge. All in all the perfect holiday

- Michael, June 2024

You were a pleasure to host Mike, and are welcome back anytime. So glad you all enjoyed a comfortable stay. Thanks so much for taking the time to review. Kate Property Owner
Martin May 2024

“We needed to make a booking at very short notice and the response from the owner was fantastic.”

We were absolutely delighted with the accommodation, it is set in an idyllic location and is an absolutely top quality place to stay. We have stayed in many cottages and lodges over the years and this is definitely one of the very best for comfort, quality of facilities and cleanliness. We have already booked a return visit and will be looking forward to it immensely.

- Martin, May 2024

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this lovely review Martin. We are delighted you and your parents enjoyed your stay, and look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Property Owner

“Absolutely beautiful place, and location, we explored the whole of Cornwall from this location.”

Would recommend to anyone.

- Lee, March 2024

Thanks for your feedback Lee, I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay. You’re right, Primrose is perfectly placed to explore the whole county. You’d be very welcome back anytime Property Owner
Sarah March 2024

“We had an amazing time at Primrose.”

Kate was so helpful and her communication from booking was excellent. The house itself is spotless, it probably one of the best properties we have stayed in. Kate has thought of everything, the house is very well equipped with everything you need and all of the highest quality. The location of Primrose is perfect for exploring both sides of the Cornish coast and the meadow at the front of the property is lovely. We have moved on to another property for the second week of our Cornish stay and it is nowhere near as nice as Primrose. We regret not booking for 2 weeks. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and we hope to return one day. Sarah, Simon and Chester the dog

- Sarah, March 2024

Thanks so much for the amazing feedback Sarah, I’m so pleased you all enjoyed your time there and hope you have a lovely second week. You’d be most welcome back anytime as you left the place spotless- thank you. Property Owner
Martin December 2023

“By far the best property we have stayed in with so much attention to detail from the owners who we felt rented their home rather just about the income.”

This was so noticeable throughout the property finishing and contact with the owner so caring. Wanted to keep this lovely place and perfect for our four legged friend but can’t speak highly enough. Would be back in a heart beat to this idyllic place and position. Thank you for ensuing our week was amazing

- Martin, December 2023

Thanks so much for such a wonderful review Martin, it means a lot to read that you all enjoyed yourselves at Primrose. You’d be welcome back anytime Property Owner

Warm, comfortable and had all you needed available from the bathroom, dinning and Kitchen. Beautiful views too. Highly recommend staying there. We will be back soon for sure. Thank you Kate for messaging to make sure we were ok too, that meant a lot.

- Dominick, November 2023

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Dominick. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Primrose and it worked well for visiting your family. We look forward to welcoming you back. Kate Property Owner
Nicki September 2023

“I booked Primrose on Riverside for a family trip of 6 adults & 2 dogs for a one week stay.”

Subsequently with the help of the owner I secured a 2nd house on the development to extend the trip to 9 adults & 3 dogs. We had a great time. I think there are 7 houses on the Riverside development which is tucked away in a tiny hamlet with the river across the green & camel trail behind. It was really easy to find with the owners excellent directions & picture instructions. Some houses are lived in full time others holiday lets. Which in my opinion keeps the place not only looking nice but it’s also felt very safe. Primrose is finished to an extremely high standard with John Lewis & Joseph Joseph equipment. It feels very high end providing a lovely & unexpected feeling of luxury. Big comfy sofas & dining table & chairs as well as two breakfast stools up to the kitchen counter. There is also a log burner with wood provided. It had been 30 degrees when we arrived but by the end of the week evenings were down to 16! So we did enjoy a rather warm & cosy evening on our last night. My Son & his girlfriend stayed in the downstairs double room with our two dogs able to wonder from the living room. There is a stairgate to stop them from coming upstairs. My husband & I had the master suite which is huge with walk in wardrobe space. Our daughter was going to stay in the 2nd guest suite & would have been very comfortable but it remained unoccupied as she chose to stayed in the master suite of the other house. But Primrose is plenty big enough for 6 adults. Every room has a bathroom. It works extremely well. There are 5 or 6 large steps to the deck but an alternative route via a general slope to the ‘front door’ if like my Dad he found them a bit of a challenge after we wore him out. There is a car port & space for a second car at each house. There is plenty of space & all 9 of us gather here for supper a couple of times. The kitchen is big enough for more than one cook & it didn’t feel over crowded. The deck at Primrose is completely covered & bifold doors open up to extend the space as one. There is a long table & bench seats & with a chair at each end we were very comfortable. It was an added bonus we could all be in one house together relax & to share a meal. There are plenty of glasses crockery & cutlery. Not like some places that sleep 4 so provide 4 of everything! The fridge dishwasher & washing machine were all well used. Not so much the freezer but it’s there & nice to have ice. There are two other comfortable garden chairs & hanging egg chair on the deck & lots of space for our doggy stuff & shoes. The owner was delightful & available by text message when I had a silly question to ask & always responded quickly engaging in conversation not just a blunt response. I thoroughly recommend Primrose & have nothing negative to say about it.

- Nicki, September 2023

Wow Nikki, thanks for your amazing feedback. I’m really glad you all enjoyed quality time together, and Primrose offered everything you were looking for. You were a delight to host Property Owner

Melissa August 2023

“Our stay at Primrose was one of the best accommodation we have booked.”

The host was lovely from the moment we booked. Primrose itself is top notch and have everything you could want there. It’s quiet, comfortable and well looked after. We have very busy work lives which makes primrose perfect for us to chill and relax. Our kids loved playing in the meadow in front of the house and we got to relax in the porch watching them. All in all we were extremely happy with everything and will definitely return.

- Melissa, August 2023

So glad to hear you all enjoyed recharging at Primrose Melissa and thank you so much for your lovely review. We can’t wait to welcome you back Property Owner
David June 2023

“We spent a very enjoyable week staying in Primrose.”

Probably the best property we have stayed in. It was an exceptional house and immaculately presented in a delightfully quiet and peaceful location, ideally situated to explore Cornwall. Kate, the owner, was a great host and always responded quickly to any messages we sent. We would love to keep returning to Cornwall and will definitely check availability at Primrose before anywhere else. If we could have given higher scores we would have done. Primrose made our visit to a special part of the country extra special. Many thanks!

- David, June 2023

You have made my day reading this David, thank you so much. I’m delighted you enjoyed a peaceful stay at Primrose , and would love to welcome you back anytime! Best wishes Kate Property Owner

Jason May 2023

“We just had a fabulous week at Primrose.”

The property was in a lovely location over looking the meadow, beautifully furnished, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Kate was extremely helpful and responded to any questions very quickly. We had some lovely trips to Padstow, Rock, Port Isaac, Fowey and Watergate bay which are all only a short drive away. We also enjoyed relaxing at the property with a glass of wine on the veranda! Access to the Camel Trail is a 2 minute walk away and perfect for exercising the dogs. We’d definitely love to return!

- Jason, May 2023

How lovely to read such a great review thank you Jason, I’m so glad your party( and the dogs) enjoyed all Primrose has to offer, and its surrounding areas. You’d be most welcome back anytime Kate Property Owner
Clare April 2023

“Primrose is a lovely property that is beautifully decorated and very comfortable.”

The location is perfect for exploring Cornwall. The area in front of the property was great for exercising our dog and he loved sitting on the secure. It was really great to have an electric car charging point. Thank you for a great week at Primrose.

- Clare, April 2023

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback Clare, I’m so glad you all enjoyed your stay. You’re right, it’s also the perfect getaway for dogs too! Best wishes Kate Property Owner
Jan April 2023

“Primrose was one of the best properties we’ve stayed at.”

Absolutely wonderful setting by the river, excellent accommodation, beautiful furnishings and super comfortable beds. Very well positioned for visiting the north coast Cornwall, but equally easy to visit Fowey etc in the south. Hope to return again.

- Jan, April 2023

Thank you Jan for your lovely review. I’m delighted you enjoyed a comfortable stay at Primrose, and the beautiful surroundings. You’re right, it’s a perfect spot to reach either coast easily. You’d be welcome back anytime. Kate Property Owner

Jonathan December 2022

“Without doubt the nicest place my wife and I have stayed in.”

The location is quiet and peaceful in a beautiful environment. Primrose would be our perfect property to live in because it is incredibly well designed, built and furnished and was ideal for an elderly relative too. The owner made contact with us shortly after we booked it and was very helpful throughout our stay. We found Primrose spotlessly clean and we were grateful for a generous welcome hamper. Primrose was the perfect warm comfortable place to return to after a day out and we would love to go back one day. Thank you so much !

- Jonathan, December 2022

Jonathon & family You were a pleasure to host. Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback, it means a lot to us that people enjoy their stay, and great to know it works for multi generations. I wish you all the best for your exciting future, and you’d always be welcome back. Kate Property Owner

Only minor points as we stay in a lot of places like primrose Around by the bottom of lamp dead spiders and cobwebs Could do with some tea towels Apart from those minor things primrose was a lovely well kept place to stay

- David, October 2022

Hi David So glad you enjoyed your stay, and thanks so muck for your feedback. I'm really disappointed that you found cobwebs, as my standards are really high - I will pass on to the housekeeper and make sure everything is double checked. You're absolutely right, there should be tea towels, we usually leave 3 - I presume this is an oversight and will also feed this back. Apologies for these small issues. Best wishes Kate Property Owner
Marcella October 2022

“Wow, what a fabulous holiday.”

Right from the time of booking the host was attentive and so helpful. Lots of information on finding property etc. Arriving at the property we were blown away, it is literally a home from home. Exceptionally clean and well equipped with super comfy beds. We found it a little warm for us and being techophobes couldn't figure out the heating. Our wonderful host called us and talked us through it and even asked her lovely neighbour to help (it was actually really easy) We had booked a dog friendly cottage before in Cornwall and ended up booking into a hotel as it was just so awful. This couldn't be more different. So clean and I love that dogs are not allowed on furniture etc, makes a much nicer stay for the humans

- Marcella, October 2022

Its lovely to read your fabulous review Marcella, and we are so glad that you've enjoyed your stay at Primrose, and felt very much at home. I will pass your review on to our housekeeper too, she doe a great job to ensure it's always pristine :) Thanks for choosing Primrose, and taking the time to review; you have been a pleasure to host. Property Owner
Gregory September 2022

“What a truly fantastic stay we had at Primrose !”

Highly highly recommended. The property was absolutely spotless, fantastically equipped, spacious, well decorated and the outdoor area was a breath of fresh air. Literally and metaphorically ! The private, gated meadow that the property sits within is tranquil, picturesque and ideal for little ones | dogs to expend some energy. Location is well suited to be able to explore much of what Cornwall has to offer; within 1hr of St Ives, Padstow, St Agnes, Watergate Bay, Rock beach… the list is endless. The host, Kate, was so friendly, thoughtful and clearly cared about the enjoyment of our holiday. We couldn’t have asked for more ! Can’t wait to return, we’ve already been recommending Primrose to friends who like to visit Cornwall ! This really has been one of our very best UK holidays ! :). Thank you so much !

- Gregory, September 2022

Gregory it’s so lovely to read your amazing review, it means a lot that you enjoyed Primrose so much. I’m delighted you had such a great holiday and really look forward to welcoming you all back! Thank you so much Kate Property Owner
Ronnie September 2022

“My family and I including our dog Bella, loved this house, it is in a lovely location, ideal for visiting all locations of Cornwall, and although we did not make use of it the Camel trail is within a 2 minute walk from the property.”

The property itself was fabulous the owner has everything inside perfect including fixtures and fittings, (my one small gripe would be the television channels, and understanding how the TV actually tuned in to other channels that were available). The owner was texting me upon arrival to make sure everything was in order and that we had arrived safely, a nice touch. We will definitely visit this property again if we visit Cornwall, although to be honest the drive is quite tiring from North Wales. Thank you Kate for letting us use your property for the week.

- Ronnie, September 2022

It was our pleasure to welcome you Ronnie. And we’re very glad you all enjoyed your stay at Primrose, thank you so much for your lovely review. Thanks for the feedback on TV channels, I will update the welcome information to make it clearer. We hope to see you again! Kate Property Owner
Deborah September 2022

“Primrose is a beautiful lodge, in lovely surroundings.”

It was a real home from home. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable lounge, with plenty of board games for when the weather lets you down! The beds are extremely comfortable, and little touches like automatic night lights are great. We’ll definitely be back!

- Deborah, September 2022

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Primrose, thank you for your lovely feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back, and hopefully you will get a little more sunshine! Kate Property Owner

“A lovely comfortable property, very clean and new; more substantial than it looks from the listing.”

The setting is beautifully quiet; no traffic noise just the birds and the stream that runs through the meadow in front of the house. The veranda is very spacious and lovely to sit out on, especially with the egg chair!

- Katherine, May 2022

Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Primrose. I have to agree - sitting on the egg seat enjoying the view is a little piece of heaven! Kate P Owner Property Owner
