Kathy March 2024

“We spent a week at Little Westwards and have to thank Melanie for making us so welcome.”

The accommodation is excellent, everything clean and in good condition, very comfortable beds and sofas and plenty of parking Also welcome gifts were very much appreciated by us and our dog! I would certainly recommend staying here, it was an ideal base for all the areas we wanted to visit and the property would definitely be on the list for future trips. Many thanks again Melanie. Kathy, Lance and Harley.

- Kathy, March 2024

Dear Kathy and Lance Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback for us and Little Westwards. We really appreciate it and thank you for choosing to stay with us on this visit . The weather was not as kind as it could have been but luckily as you are "old hands" on Cornwall you didn`t let that deter you or prevent you getting out to some of your favourite spots. It was lovely to meet you and Harley and we really hope to see you all again in the future. Kind regards from all of us Mel, Melanie and Lugo Property Owner
Jayne September 2023

“Do not hesitate to book this wonderful property.”

The accomodation is spotless & has everthing you need for ahome from home holiday.An amazing welcome pack & treats, gifts throughout the property, even beautiful flowers in every room! Melanie was the perfect host so helpful & on hand if needed. The accomodation is in the perfect spot an ideal location for access to cornwalls coastline. I recommend getting the train to St Ives it's ony a10 minute ride & the views are breathtaking.

- Jayne, September 2023

Dear Jayne Thank you so much for such lovely comments. We really appreciate you taking time to send feedback for your stay and we are so glad that with the help of the weather, you all enjoyed your time in Cornwall at Little Westwards. I would say you almost had the perfect weather week and with crowds ebbing slightly you had less people as you moved around the area.Even the train strike didn`t stop you doing local train trips and enabling you to leave the car parked up for a while. Hoping you are all settled in at home again and when Cornwall comes to the top of your holiday destination list again you know where we are. Best wishes from all of us to you and Rob, Melanie ,Mel and Lugo x Property Owner

Nicola July 2023

“Little Westward has everything you need for the perfect stay!”

Very helpful, attentive hosts, a great base for visiting all the lovely local beaches, walks and other attractions. It is within walking distance to the Village shop and and pubs / cafe. The accommodation is well equipped with comfy beds, in a peaceful setting with good outdoor space too. Lots of little touches make it a very comfortable / relaxing stay. It was ideal for our family holiday with 2 little ones aged 6 and 8!

- Nicola, July 2023

Hi Nic and Nige Thank you so much for taking time out to leave feedback for Little Westwards. We are really glad you enjoyed your time here and despite the weather being a very mixed bag you certainly packed a lot in.We also did have some stunning weather but as you know Cornwall well you understand the ways around whatever the day gives you come rain or shine!!! Enjoy the rest of the summer holidays -the children will be back in school shortly and I can`t believe summer is nearly done.!! All best wishes ,Melanie Property Owner
Carol July 2023

“We very much appreciated the welcome pack when we arrived, as we got held up on the A30 due to the construction of a new bypass.”

The accommodation was immaculate. The host was very friendly and went over and above to sort out a problem with the oven. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they gave us valuable information on places to visit. The property was very well placed for amenities, although the narrow roads took a bit of getting used to. A thoroughly enjoyable stay!

- Carol, July 2023

Dear Carol Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback ,we really appreciate it and are so pleased you enjoyed your time here. The weather was not kind for you but you all got on so well it seemed like you would have enjoyed it whatever happened. Nice to know you did get out and about and see quite a lot between the rain storms. I hope you all enjoy more fun during the rest of the summer and thank you for coming to Little Westwards this year. Kind regards Melanie x Property Owner
Heather July 2023

“Little Westwards is a delightful place to stay for a Cornish holiday.”

It is ideally situated to get to all the places you might like to visit whilst on the magical Cornish coast. The host’s Melanie & Mel a lovely people, full of information on what’s going on in the area, where to visit and useful tips on getting there. The property is perfect, clean and has everything you would need for a real home from home break. Our 2 dogs were literally welcomed with open arms by Melanie and a delightful welcome package left for us and the dogs was a lovely touch. Beautiful fresh flowers all through the property was so nice and fab beds giving a really restful nights sleep every night after a busy day of walking the coast paths. Would highly recommend and definitely visit again.

- Heather, July 2023

Dear Heather Thank you so much for such lovely feedback-it means a lot really !!! We just want everyone who stays to get the most out of their time here so if people are "old hands" we know our input isn`t needed but just highlight some local things that may not be known about. New cooker installed yesterday and of course the old one decided to work perfectly so it defeated the electrician too !! Lots of luck in the upcoming regattas for you and Tamsin and hope if we are supporting Claire we might bump into you or Teddy and Toby at least. Kindest Melanie,Mel and Lugo x Property Owner
Claire June 2023

“3 adults and our dog Ruby had a weeks stay at Little Westards.”

We loved it so much we’ve just booked another 2 week stay for June 2024. Melanie was the perfect host! Helpful and on hand if needed but not intrusive. The accommodation was so thoughtfully set up for visitors. Very clean and we’ve never had the amount or quality of little treats and gifts left for us and our dog! It really was exceptional and Melanie clearly has very high standards in making everything just right for her customers! Can’t fault it. Also, very secure garden for your dog and lovely to sit in at the end of the day catching the last of the days sunshine. Thanks Melanie and see you again in 2024.

- Claire, June 2023

Hi Claire Thank you so much for your feedback on Little Westwards and we are really glad you all enjoyed your week with us. We hope Somerset was a nice time for you all too on your way home eventually. Obviously it is amazing that you have already booked to come again in 2024, and we look forward to seeing you all then before your mums BIG birthday. She is amazing. Hope the weather is as good again next June-remember to bring it with you !!1 Kindest Melanie Property Owner

“Best accommodation we have ever had in Cornwall during the.”

50 years we have been coming to the County. Melanie and Mel are so kind and welcoming. Wonderful to be all on one level and have a good outside space to sit in. Cleanliness has top marks and facilities are exceptional.

- Kath, June 2023

Dear Kath and Bern It was super to meet you both and glad you had such a lovely weather week which enabled you to revisit so many favourite spots ,and even have fish and chips on the beach !!! The week really flew by -almost literally as it was very warm and windy. The sun is continuing so I hope you are managing to keep your garden alive at home. Hope to see you again when your wanderings bring you back to Cornwall. Warm wishes from us all xx Property Owner

“Our third time at this wonderful property.”

Great for dogs and humans. Ideally placed for beaches and everything else. The welcome pack is the best we’ve ever had, it includes stuff for the dogs as well. The owners are as always friendly and welcoming. The beds are huge and comfortable. The week went so quickly and will definitely try and get another week in this year.

“Little Westwards is a lovely place to stay, it has everything you need for a home from home holiday, plus lots of extras!”

The welcome pack was amazing and Melanie is a really friendly helpful host. The accommodation is exceptionally clean, very comfortable and spacious. There is also lots of information to help you get the most of your time in this beautiful area. This was our second stay here and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

- Elizabeth, May 2023

Many thanks Liz for taking the time to leave us feedback on your most recent stay at Little Westwards.You had the first real week of good settled weather and I think the week following should have been just as good for your second week higher up the county. It was lovely to meet you and Brian again and hard to believe there was a 4 year gap since your last stay.We hope you have a lovely summer no doubt catching up with the family, and really hope our paths cross again sometime. Thanks for trusting us with a second Cornish stay, Kindest ,Melanie and Mel . Property Owner
Ian March 2023

“Staying at Little Westwards for our Easter break was an absolute treat!”

Melanie and Mel are such wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble, with Melanie ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Our family agreed that accommodation at Little Westwards is the best self-catering we have had the pleasure of being able to enjoy, so much so, that we had re-booked for October half term only a couple of days into our stay! In an extremely quiet village and with plenty of outdoor and parking space, you are immediately struck by the location on arrival, which really is the ideal base for exploring and even cycling from. (Thank you for storing my bike in the garage, Melanie!) Everywhere outside is very secure and our Cockapoo, Rosie, loved the freedom of being able to roam. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed yet felt so homely and welcoming. The fudge and welcome treats (including a fabulous dog toy!) were a lovely touch, with even a personalised card from Melanie for our arrival. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to enjoy family meals and plenty of space for a week’s shop. As a family of four, we loved having two bathrooms, with their own hot water tanks for baths and showers – so useful! The beds were extremely comfortable and we loved our week so much we didn’t want to leave. We are very much looking forward to coming back to Little Westwards and planning our next adventure. Thank you so much Melanie and Mel for making us so welcome and for allowing us to enjoy your accommodation.

- Ian, March 2023

Dear Ian and Amy I`m a bit at a loss for words to respond !!! Obviously we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and the location suited you as a family with proximity to beaches, sightseeing must do`s and shopping to hand. Also handy roads for Ian`s evening cycles. You certainly packed a lot into your week and it was great the weather held for you too. It was lovely to meet you all and we look forward very much to your return visit in October. Please tell the girls my painted stone is on the hall table. Thank you for taking the time to leave such fabulous feedback and have a great weekend Kindest Melanie x Property Owner
Angela March 2023

“Melanie Mel & Lugo made us feel very welcome with Tea, Biscuits, Fudge a bottle of Beer & a bottle of Prosecco for my 50th Birthday & a lovely welcome card.”

There was Tea Coffee Sugar & Milk in the Fridge so it was lovely to have a cuppa after a 4 hr drive. The property was absolutely beautiful & very clean to a high standard it was like a home from home. We stayed at Little Westwards for a week & we was near to St Michael’s Mount, Lands End, The Minack Theatre & also not far from Penzance Town Centre we went to all these places & we went on a Helicopter Ride which is also close to the Town Centre it was amazing. This property is excellent place to stay we both where over the moon with it & Melanie Mel & Lugo where perfect host. We would 100% stay here again. Thankyou all for making our stay memorable. Angie & Michael xx

- Angela, March 2023

Hi Angie and Michael Thank you for your kind words and feedback.We are so pleased you enjoyed your time here and were able to pack quite a lot in. Celebrating your big birthday and making some new memories was a nice way to spend some time and we hope Cornwall will remain on your list for another visit.Maybe next time your granddaughter can come too. You must have spent a lot of your last day leaving the apartment so immaculate.When I went in you wouldn`t have known anyone had stayed. Thank you again x Property Owner

Welcome pack was just what you needed after a long drive and the dogs got a great welcome pack too!. Facilities great and property very clean. Warm and cosy for a winter break. Returning in May which says it all.

Felicity September 2022

“Everything was excellent.”

Best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. Very comfortable and well equipped. Lots of lovely walks nearby. Very nice welcome pack. Owners very helpful. Would choose to stay there again.

Hopefully that means the trip home was ok for you all including Baz !! , the roads here have notably become less busy this weekend as October approaches.I gave your lunch recommendation to our current guests at the weekend and they thoroughly enjoyed it so I will add it to our information going forward. Hopefully we may see you and Meg again in the future if Cornwall calls!! Kindest Melanie. Property Owner
Patricia September 2022

“Little Westwards is a wonderful apartment, the owners are generous and sincere in their efforts to make your stay a happy one.”

Their welcome pack cannot be surpassed and flowers in all the rooms was the icing on the cake.

- Patricia, September 2022

Dear Trish Thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback on Little Westwards. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we were so glad that you re-charged yourselves while here as well as visiting some favourite spots you had visited previously.Our first significant rain for a while made for hours spent reading and resting but I think you made the most of some of the lovely sunshine we had too.Thank you for staying with us and we hope our paths may cross again in the future.

Karen August 2022

“Fabulous place, spotlessly clean, the kitchen had all the equipment needed to cook a meal.”

Really comfy beds with plenty of blankets and pillows if wanted. The garden was great too, we ate several meals outside it was perfect. Very quiet location and very close to several beautiful beaches.

- Karen, August 2022

Dear Karen Thank you so much for such lovely and speedy feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed everything here and in West Cornwall generally. We are located on a cross point from which to access all areas really without being in a hotspot such as Marazion or St Ives.This does make us quieter yet you can be on the beach in less than 5 minutes as you know. Please pass on my best to everyone and it would be lovely to see you all again in the future Kind regards Melanie Property Owner
Richard August 2022

“We had a truly fabulous week at Little Westwards, both the accommodation and the property owners were fantastic!”

The property was beautifully clean, with added luxuries like fresh flowers and a new toy for our dog, it made it a real home from home experience. Fabulous location for exploring the south coast, great outdoor furniture present with a bbq, just perfect for the glorious sunshine that we had all week. Couldn’t recommend this property more

- Richard, August 2022

Dear Richard We are all so pleased you had such a great week ,especially after your long day getting here. Not sure we will get another weather week like yours -it really was amazing. We certainly try and create a home away from home space so guests can relax as soon as they arrive and really glad that happened for you and the family-and Archie.!!! Thank you again ,from all of us, for staying at Little Westwards and hope you enjoy the rest of summer. Property Owner

Our host, Melanie, also added some thoughtful extra touches and was very helpful in answering any questions we had about the area. We had a lovely holiday and I would thoroughly recommend this property.

- Heather, June 2022

Hi Heather I just wanted to say thank you for your super feedback and I am really glad that you all enjoyed your stay with us while you revisited some favourites and discovered new ones too. We were in your part of the world at the weekend and it was beautiful from start to finish.We are both lucky to live in quite special parts of England and you know where we are if you decide to stray this way in the future. Thank you again for staying at Little Westwards,Kindest Melanie . Property Owner
Catherine May 2022

“We had a great stay.”

It's a small property, but has everything you need and the owners are really helpful; on hand if you need them, but not if you don't! Many lovely 'extras' provided and quality bedding, sheets etc. The listing called the property an apartment, which was confusing, but we rang to query this as we wanted a cottage not an apartment (which we thought of as wholly contained within another building). It turned out it is really a separate,self-contained, semi-detached part of the owners' home. Unless I had queried this, we probably would not have booked the property, which would have been a shame. The comfort score is only a '4' because the beds were rather too firm for me (issues with my back). If you like a firm mattress, this is no problem at all. One other comment; there was milk, tea and coffee when we arrived and a lovely bottle of wine, but a small loaf and some butter would have helped as we had to pop out for that as soon as we arrived. (This has been pretty common in other cottages we have stayed in). However, we were sent a list of what would be in the welcome pack, so we should have realised!

- Catherine, May 2022

Hi Catherine Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed revisiting this part of Cornwall. I`m sorry that you found the beds a bit firm -its such a difficult one to get right as too soft can be equally uncomfortable. The description of the property is designed to get across that it is not a stand alone cottage and I have stated that it is independent of the main house, but will take a look and see if I can tweak this further. I hope you enjoyed Wells on your journey home, Kind regards Melanie Property Owner
Ron May 2022

“The holiday property was very clean,well stocked everything you could need.”

The owners were very helpful with information. We could not have asked for a better place to have stayed.

- Ron, May 2022

Dear Ron Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.It was a pleasure to meet you and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the mixed weather and your long journey.Hopefully you will be able to spend some time in your garden and caravan over the summer and we send our best wishes, Kindest Melanie. Property Owner
Julie May 2022

“Fabulous property and location , clean , comfortable and everything catered for ...”

Fabulous property and location , clean , comfortable and everything catered for , my only reservation was the outside area which I think was lacking something more relaxing like reclining chairs or sunlounger as the area is gravel it’s not the most relaxing place but this aside it’s a great property and lovely hosts

- Julie, May 2022

Hi Julie So glad you enjoyed the property. Although your immediate space is gravel and patio all guests are invited to make use of the lawn in front of the house too and I do have 2 x sun loungers on order to put in the private space along with the outdoor rugs we have just added. All the chairs do have cushions and benches also have bench cushions so hopefully the sun loungers will help future guests enjoy the outside space even more . Kind regards Melanie Property Owner
Linda April 2022

“My Cousin and I stayed at Little Westards for a week, from the 22nd to the 29th of April and it was extremely excellent.”

From the moment we arrived and found a gorgeous welcome pack and card, to flowers in all the rooms, the place was absolutely spotless, home from home. I have never stayed in such a place that has thought of everything, so many wonderful little touches, it was fabulous. We are both in our 70s and have had many holidays with our late husband's but none compared to this for cleanliness and having everything we needed from day one. I myself have stayed in many Villas abroad but this even beats them. Thank you Melanie for everything, it's a credit to you. Kind Regards Linda Stephens

“Just spent a week at Little Westwards from 8th -15th.”

We were 2 couples and a 1 dog. We were all extremely please with the accomodation from the welcome beer, wine and biscuits to the lovely cotton bedding. The location is perfect with any sights within a short distance. We also found some lovely walks direct from the apartment. We would have no hesitation in recommending Little Westwards and will certainly return.

Jessica July 2021

“The owners had thought of absolutely everything, which was such a refreshing change, and were more than willing to help out with drying towels etc.”

“Absolutely perfect location for us in a quiet spot, but with amenities within walking distance and a great base to explore from.”

Melanie gave us excellent recommendations of places to visit, vegetarian eateries and local dog friendly spots. The kitchen was well stocked, the accommodation comfortable (with the biggest bed I've ever stayed in!), the garden was secure for our dog, easy parking and the welcome hamper was a wonderful treat too... What more could you ask for! A dream stay (even in the pouring rain!) - thank you!

“Guests are welcomed with a generous welcome hamper, including treats for any pets that are in tow.”

Little Westwards is in a perfect location fo exploring the many highlights of the area on the North and South coast and The Lizard. It feels considerably more relaxing when the day trips are close to base. There are many walking paths in the area and the coast path very close. We want to thank the hosts for their generosity and being so very helpful and welcoming.

Paul October 2020

“We arrived at Little Westwards for the start of our Holiday we were greeted with the beautiful Welcome pack much so appreciated Flowers through out the accommodation.”

Well what can we add that's not already been said other reviews we found Little Westwards "" top notch "" outstanding accommodation throughout. Location for us was ideal walks rambles to coast for the fitest from Little Westards Gardens and main places to explore we crammed a lot into our hols. We would defentatley recommend to family /friends this accommodation and we hopefully stay Again the future. We could fault this accommodation.

Keith September 2020

“This is a pleasant 'cottage' in a good situation.”

The owners, who are on-site, left fresh flowers and a generous welcome package which we appreciated. While the accommodation as a whole was spacious and generally comfortable we found the main bed quite hard (as reported by a previous guest) and the heating (three completely different and individually set electric radiators plus two towel rails) a bit of a nuisance to get right during warm days and chilly mornings and evenings. It was also unfortunate that there were problems with the TV when we first arrived and although the owners were prompt to try to rectify that we found the process for finding and selecting programmes a bit long winded compared with just turning on and entering a channel number. China, cookware and kitchen tools were adequate but all the glasses were large, a set of small tumblers would be a good addition. These weren't big problems but just a bit irritating.

- Keith, September 2020
Mark September 2020

“Once you enter this accommodation it becomes apparent how homely it is.”

The care and attention given is outstanding. The welcome pack is very helpful along with the beautiful flowers placed around the accommodation is a lovely touch. It is very well equipped for your every day needs. All correspondence with Mel and Claire was very helpful and comforting especially as we were traveling a distance. They were on hand if you needed help or further advice on the area for places to visit and eat out. Our stay between 11th -18th September 2020 was a very relaxing experience, a bonus as the weather was superb. We would highly recommend Little Westwards as a base for your holiday.

- Mark, September 2020
John September 2020

“The apartment was very very good it had everything you could require, seating was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could need.”

We had a dog and the closed courtyard was just what we needed, Goldsithney is in an excellent area and in a lovely village with two pubs. The only downside was the beds were a little hard for my liking but the Holliday was still brilliant.

- John, September 2020
Daniel August 2020

“Loved our week in Little Westwards, owners Melanie and family were really welcoming , and the welcome pack at the property was fantastic, bottle of wine, fudge and lots more.”

Melanie was super helpful with letting us know when markets ect were taking place locally. Great location to explore the south west of cornwall, beautiful beaches. Everything you need at the property iron hairdryer, even comfy cushions for the outside seating. Many thanks for a great holiday

Sean July 2020

“We had a great week at Little Westwards.”

The apartment was lovely and all the fixtures and furniture were of a very high standard and Everywhere was spotless clean. The bed in the main bedroom was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Melanie the owner was very welcoming and was always on hand for advice on where to visit and any other information you might need. The welcome treats for us and our dog on arrival were especially appreciated after a long journey. The gated garden area was ideal so the dog could have freedom to roam the property both inside and out. I would definitely return to Little Westwards in the future

“Little westwards was an amazing place to stay it was so clean had everything we needed and more.”

We requested a cot for our 3 month old and Melanie sent a picture to make sure it was okay. The information we received with directions and instructions was so helpful and very welcomed after a long drive. There was ample space for parking, very secure and also just a lovely place to stay. There were welcome goodies for us and also the dog. Milk was put in the fridge so that we could have a cup of tea. This was our first family holiday with our little boy and it didn’t disappoint not only was the place lovely but it was extremely close to all attractions and walking distance to a lovely pub the trevelyn which was exceptional following a recommendation from Melanie. She was able to tell us where to eat where to visit and also offered to help with anything we needed. Melanie, Mel and Lugo were fab and very friendly and I cannot wait to stay again. Can not recommend little westwards enough. Above and beyond well worth a stay. Xx

“A truly fantastic stay, the hosts were absolutely wonderful and their welcome fantastic, evenue the dog, (Lugo) was so friendly.”

Just one tiny thing, the shower screen rubber seal needs replacing as the floor gets wet when taking a shower.

Patrick June 2019

“Melanie’s holiday bungalow was ideal for our holiday.”

There is room for the dog outside and he was made very welcome. The location is perfect for exploring west Cornwall. The owners were both helpful, welcoming and friendly. And even little touches such as welcoming gifts for both us and our dog, made the stay special. Couldn’t fault the accommodation. Would highly recommend.

Christine May 2019

“We have visited a number of places all over the country and stayed in some lovely properties.”

Little Westwards is truly one of the best we have stayed in. The owners have worked hard to ensure everything is provided for and offer the warmest of welcomes for two and four legged guests. The personal touches make all the difference. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

- Christine, May 2019
Tim May 2019

“I would like to say that the owners Mel & Mel (yes that's not a typo!”

) were fantastic people who welcomed us warmly on our arrival. Both genuine friendly hosts. The accommodation, well where to begin? Faultless in every aspect from layout,decor and presentation. Cleanliness was 10/10 and you wanted for nothing. There was flowers, wine and welcome gifts on arrival, all beyond expectations. Even Ronnie our Border Terrier had a welcome toy and treats.The wife and I will definitely be looking to return in the near future. We genuinely have racked our brains to find any negatives, but to no avail. Fantastic location for dog walks and dog friendly pubs. Superb 10 star!!! Tim,Karen & Ronnie will see you soon x

“Owners, Melanie and family were once again very welcoming.”

(It was our second stay with them.) They accommodated my elderly mother (92) by putting in a high-backed firm chair for her (as the main sofa is soft and squishy for relaxing in). Lots of lovely welcome gifts for us and dog. Very helpful with advice about area. I could see where they had made improvements from a few moths ago, e.g. new oven, radiator, door lock, dog bed and even ordered a coffee maker after I enquired if there was one there. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are keen to do their best to make you comfortable and have a great time. Cottage is well appointed and garden is secure for your dog. Comprehensive information pack in cottage on places to visit and eat at, walks, and manuals for equipment, e.g. new radiator. Only did small smile for comfort as my husband and I had a little back ache in the regular double bed, but that's probably just us! My mum was very comfortable in the big bed. Otherwise, very comfortable in the cottage, with everything you need. My husband liked the little touches like Arran Aromatics hand soap and moisturiser in the bathrooms. Great base for local area, super quiet village with local walks and lots of places nearby to visit, e.g. gardens, walks, restaurants. So many places are dog-friendly too, including Seal Sanctuary at Gweek. We can't wait to come back again!

Karen March 2019

“Our week in Cornwall was wonderful, it was made extra special by the welcome we had from Melanie and her family to this exceptional property, including Milo our dog.”

The property itself is immaculate you really couldn't want for anything. We went to so many places in our week at Little Westwards from Lands End to St Ives all within easy reach. So impressed we have already booked again. Thank you

Paul August 2018

“We absolutely loved Little Westwards.”

It was extremely clean and very homely. It was extremely well equipped and the spec was very high. The beds were so comfortable - to the extent that my daughter made me ask the owner where we could buy the mattresses from!!! The location itself was very quiet, could even hear the owls hooting. It was a very short drive from Marazion and St. Michael's Mount, and easily within reach were Penzance, St Ives, Falmouth and Lands End (amongst others). Would highly recommend this place to anyone. It's also on a single level so would be ideal for anyone who has issues climbing stairs. Also very dog friendly, to the degree that they left dog treats and dog bowls and bed for use. They also left milk, wine and biscuits for when we arrived. Loved it.

The property

All on one level, this contemporary two bedroom apartment is situated in the village of Goldsithney, set back from the coast, with beaches, and main attractions lining the area.

Attached on one elevation to the owners property, Little Westwards is independant in every other respect.

The open-plan living area is light and airy, with lovely squishy leather sofas, a dining table for four people, as well as a delightful breakfast bar which creates a great social space where you can sip a warm drink or glass of wine with a view over the patio.

Varied lighting options create a soothing glow casting shadows up to the characterful high ceiling and beams, and show case the artwork and photographs wrapped around the interior.

Two beautiful bedrooms each feature their own personality, laced in pastel colours and soft furnishings; your own glamorous haven to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

One room provides a zip/link superking bed so if a twin bed option is required this can be set up for you - just notify your choice on booking.

Also included is an immaculate en-suite bathroom, and what's more, a further separate shower room so no need to share here.

Outside space provides an enclosed patio with chairs, table and benches with cushions and throws to while away some hours in the sunshine, or relax in after a busy day walking or having spent time on the beach.

Little Westwards is 1.5 miles from the iconic St Michaels Mount which is a must see while you are here and it is the perfect base to explore our dramatic and breath taking peninsula, as currently show cased in the Poldark series.

Offering wide, sandy beaches, empty haunting moorlands, towering granite cliffs and endlessly fascinating seascapes there is something on offer for everyone.

We provide books and maps to browse and help you decide how best to spend your time with us.

Mount's Bay is one of the most intriguing bays in the world, the clean, sandy beaches offer safe bathing, and there are amazing views towards the Lizard Peninsula, in one direction, and Land's End in the other.

A perfect location to base your holiday.

About the location

GOLDSITHNEY

Marazion 1.5 miles; Penzance 4 miles; Helston 11 miles.

A typically Cornish country village with picturesque houses, shops and village pubs, Goldsithney is set back from the coast, thus escaping the main tourist rush, yet lying close to all the main attractions. Dominating the area and just 2 miles away is the off shore island castle of St Michael's Mount - reaching it via the causeway when the tide is out is a must. Right on the doorstep there are fabulous beaches, the coastal path (winding its way over the cliff tops) and plenty of sailing and fishing. Visit Penzance, with its slightly bohemian air, the cliff-top theatre at Minack or the stunningly beautiful fishing villages of Marazion and Mousehole - a superb base for exploring beautiful Cornwall.
