“There were positives and negatives of the property.”

On the plus side it was very peaceful and had beautiful views. Definitely quirky and just the right size for the two of us. It's looked like a brand new cooker and a dishwasher was a bonus. There was plenty of hot water and the shower was really powerful. It was close to local amenities and there were plenty of lovely places to visit nearby. Unfortunately we didn't have any info on how the appliances worked. No details of rubbish and recycling so we grouped things together as we would at ...

Unfortunately we didn't have any info on how the appliances worked. No details of rubbish and recycling so we grouped things together as we would at home. There was just one teaspoon and not really enough crockery. One of the dining chairs had a loose and wobbly back that needed repairing or replacing. The slats on the bed kept popping out of the plastic restraints, we had to shove our luggage under them to hold them in place and that's when we noticed a big box of something holding them up in the middle. Some visitors mentioned a lovely welcome pack but we didn't receive anything but luckily we brought plenty with us. Did not meet the owner but she did send a text on the Wednesday to say she'd see us the next day and she hoped everything was ok but she didn't come. On the whole it was an OK stay and we enjoyed our holiday but just an attention to a few details could make this a wonderful cottage.

“We had a comfortable stay, host was welcoming.”

Sykes need to include information about T.v having no terrestrial channels, I know you have contacted them about this and they have not updated the listing.

“This place merits 11 out of 10, the cottage is delightful, the views are stunning, Dee the owner is exceptional and a very nice pub is a ten minute stroll away.”

The Cottage has the feel of a home rather than a holiday let. I would heartily recommend it.

“Another wonderful stay at Dee’s cottage.”

The cottage is warm, comfortable and is beautifully and artistically furnished. There is so much to see in the surrounding area, we always find new things to do even after coming here 5 or 6 times. Dee is such a warm and welcoming host and the new sauna facility is fantastic. The cottage is in a beautiful location with wonderful views of St Michael’s Mount from the kitchen and easy access to many gardens, coastal walks and beaches. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Dee.

“The cottage was immaculately clean!”

The bed was comfortable and the shower was great too. It is a beautiful old school building with so much charm. We loved the garden space which is currently being redesigned and we can't wait to see what comes next. The use of the sauna is a massive bonus. The owner is lovely and answered all our questions. She kept in contact but you also didn't feel like she was with you on holiday. It was so lovely. The location is perfect!! You are so close to everything. There is also a bus that runs to penzance, from Long Lane, and you can go from Penzance to so many of the places you would want to visit - this will be so useful in the summer. We recommend St Ives, Marazion, Mousehole and Newlyn. The beach is gorgeous but there is also a local walk to the cottage which our dog loved and was equally beautiful. It was very dog friendly and he had the best adventures. The pub literally up the road is also lovely and great to have on the doorstep - good food! Even when the weather was less kind to us we had the most relaxing and enjoyable time staying in the cottage, cosy, warm and with the most stunning view. It was a relaxing, enjoyable stay and we will definitely be returning again. I would recommend this to anyone.

“Positives...”

great location and ideal 1 bed place to stay Negatives.... no welcome pakage or booklet/info/anything/ details te surroundings,bins,tv,internet ( there was a faded piece of paper in a fish re wifi we found) Place smelt very musty and damp (though no damp seen), could do with a complete makeover Bedding absolutely stink, smelt damp and awful... though wasnt damp. We literslly stunk after sleeping I it and after 2 nights had enough. Asthma and allergies horrendous through staying there. No muctovave, which is fine, but grill took forever and even had no light to show temp, no room in kitchen area to prepare. 2 x small heaters instead if radiators and mid winter. Postcode given in text to arrive different from original email which caused a problem finding it. Just needs updating, money spent on it and nice clean fresh linen and towels and welcome information.... in all over years, worst place had to leave early.

“The bed was so comfy and cosy.”

It’s decorated realy querky with chests and lovely decor, the pictures online don’t do it any justice (Even though it looks fab on pictures) On arrival Dee came and knocked on the door and Welcomed us and told us if we needed anything where too find her. We spent Christmas in here and it had everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. It was faultless and our dogs also loved the walks close by, and the huge secure garden for them too run around in. The pub less than 2 minuite walk Away was realy nice and welcoming with everyone singing Christmas songs on Christmas Eve. We would deffintely return in the near future :D

“The cottage was very comfortable for myself and my dog.”

Everything was provided as stated in the listing and very clean. We had a lovely weekend and the owner, Dee, was there if we needed anything. Definitely recommend it. Thank you, Dee.

“This was our third stay at the Cottage.”

We find it the perfect base to explore the West of Cornwall which is an area we have been visiting for many years. The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped for two people with a gorgeous view across to St Micheal’s Mount. Do need to be careful with your dog as the garden is not enclosed. Dee is a lovely host, making sure that everything was okay and providing a lovely welcome hamper. Would definitely book again.

“We arrived late Saturday and quickly realised there were serious housekeeping issues with this cottage.”

Sunday morning I bought rubber gloves and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. KITCHEN: The fridge was warm and the icebox was completely frozen up and unusable. The drainer tray and cooker were dirty with bits, crumbs and dog hairs. There was dust and dead insects on the shelves. Under the sink was a dirty, worn Spontex and an old J Cloth. The oven and grill trays were unwashed with stuck-on food and fat. The oven/grill lights do not work. The toaster was full of previous guests' crumbs. There is no plug or washing up bowl in the sink. The bin was dirty and had no fresh liner although there was one under the sink. BATHROOM: The washbasin had stuck on toothpaste and the bath needed cleaning. The towels were grotty (one was torn) and they smelt absolutely dreadful. Only 1 handtowel for 2 people. The extractor fan still doesn't work (previously mentioned by a guest). There is no bathmat so the floor gets really wet after the shower. BEDROOM: The bed linen did not appear fresh; it smelt very stale and there were stains on the duvet. I questioned whether it had been changed! GARDEN: This looks nothing like the photos. The furniture was overturned and I noticed dog poo. EXTRA BED: We were promised an extra bed to enable my daughter and I to sleep separately and this finally arrived four days after our arrival. This is my first bad experience in 15 years of holiday cottage rentals with Sykes and other agents - I am a Sykes Level 4 Champion Client and I spend at least 6-8 weeks a year on rentals. Sykes contacted the owner, we met on the Monday and it did not go well in the circumstances. She claims the cooker is old but does function, despite no lights - how areguests supposed to know this or that the correct cooking temperature is reached? She claims the bed linen was changed but admitted "the wrong linen was put on" (?) She bought round different linen and left it for me to put on....She brought different towels but all these replacements still smelt unpleasant. She washed the oven trays and left them dripping on the drainer and gave us new cleaning cloths. The dog mess I mentioned on Monday was still there on Thursday... The owner offered us a free night in her other property but I did not accept due to a prior commitment and another night had no appeal whatsoever after this experience. Despite all this we enjoyed our week, Ludgvan has great views and we have spent many weeks around there; Cornwall will always keep on giving and we had wonderful walks on our favourite beaches and the spectacular SW Coastal Path. We can highly recommend the local pub, the White Hart, which has reopened and the new Manager and Head Chef are doing a great job building the business back up again. Also a mention for Kev the hero AA man from Hayle who came out within 40 minutes of call out to check a warning light on our car to get us safely on the road home the next day. This owner blamed all the problems on everybody and everything else and took no personal responsibility. A previous guest has mentioned dog poo and the owner has written a counter-note in the guest book blaming her daughter's dog! There was no apology for our distress and bad experience. After discussions with Sykes I requested £200 compensation, less than half the weekly rental. The owner refused. This property has a good housekeeping bond of £200 - what a shame it doesn't work the other way round! After we had left (!) she repeated her offer by text of another night which I had already made clear was not possible. Sykes advised the only recourse for clients in cases like this is the Small Claims Court. Despite the owner's protestations and messages asking ME to show compassion I am afraid my compassion is reserved for guests, who, like us, hand over considerable amounts of money to owners like her who spectacularly fail to provide the service they promise. Highly unsatisfactory.

“The owner was delightful and brought round a lovely hamper on the second day.”

But there was nothing when we arrived, no milk, tea, sugar which would have been nice. The bathroom extractor fan didn't work nor did temp indicator light on oven. Garden nothing like photos - very untidy with upturned garden furniture strewn around but worst for me the bedding didn’t look as fresh as it could have done.

Keith Michael September 2023

“A very quirkily furnished property, which is a nice size for two people.”

Stunning views of St Michaels Mount and nice views of the surrounding countryside. It is close to other local beauty spots and places of interest, plus a good pub just up the road. Dee the owner was very pleasant and supplied a super hamper. Perhaps a slightly larger kitchen area or more work surface would come in handy when eating in.

- Keith Michael, September 2023
Angela September 2023

“We never seen the owners .”

As they were away. Lovely place. And lovely cottage Bed bit too soft. And also not sure beddibg was new. Clean ..plus need replacing . As worne The garden was not suitable for dog the wood and stones everywhere.. Plus the garden nothing like pictures in here Not mantain..

Thomas July 2023

“An absolutely lovely place for a couple to get away for a short time!”

The owner is extremely nice and helpful checking on us and providing the items needed alongside a nice breakfast hamper. Whilst doing the washing was an issue at points and the hoover was a bit weak this didn't detract from the fact that it was a lovely stay that's not far from any of the major areas of Cornwall. We would highly recommend!

Jennifer June 2023

“Did not receive the text from the owner 2 days before arrival regarding key location, luckily I made a courtesy call to the owner, rather than just arrive on the day and subsequently was sent a text giving details of key location and code.”

The cottage was in a very good location, handy for St Ives & Penzance. Dishwasher was very good. Good selection of crockery and cooking utensils. Almost everything you needed apart from eggcups and scissors. Would have liked a microwave but knew it did not have one. Not quite sure why there isn't one, surely it would save costs on electricity ? Bathroom was very good, nice shower, plenty of hot water. Negatives for us were the the pillows were very old and flat, if we had known would have taken our own. Only 2 bath towels given for the week . Dee quickly sorted out some more when we asked. We received our welcome pack on late afternoon the day before we left. It was very nice but would have been so much better if it was there on arrival. Appreciate you had been away for quite a while. The major disappointment was the garden, it does not look much like the photos. Overall we had a very nice time

- Jennifer, June 2023
Elizabeth May 2023

“A bit of confusion about obtaining the key as the owner was abroad, all resolved when she contacted us the day before departure.”

The cottage was well presented and comfortable and in a great location. We had our yellow lab with us who sheds alot of hair. A vacuum cleaner would have been really useful. In the end, we purchased a siff brush and had to haul the big rug outside to clean it.

“Another great stay at this beautiful cottage - we feel very much at home here and it was great to be able to bring our pets with us.”

Spring is a wonderful time of year to visit and we enjoyed visiting a number of beautiful gardens which were at their very best at this time of year. Dee was so welcoming and kind and it is so good to come to a well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage where you have everything you need and you can truly relax. Thank you Dee for another great week.

Lynn March 2023

“Oh what a little gem!”

We were lucky to get a last minute booking for 5 days, and loved every moment. Quirky and homely, with everything you need for a perfect stay. A view of St.Michaels Mount from the open plan living space was the icing on the cake. Lawrence our doggie felt right at home, and loved the local walks. Thank you so much Dee for a memorable holiday x

Mandy February 2023

“A charming cozy cottage ideally situated.”

We had the most comfortable stay. The cottage is gorgeous. We were a little disappointed with the garden which wasn't as described on the website's property details. It isn't entirely enclosed. We couldn't let the dog out alone or without his lead as he could have escaped onto the main road. Also, it was very untidy and we were surprised to find a pond which was camouflaged by over grown plants and algae. Step slightly to the left on entering the garden and you could be in for a shock! A couple of things should be updated on the property details on your website. 1. We weren't greeted with a hamper of fresh produce and 2. The White Hart pub is closed until further notice.

- Mandy, February 2023

Hello Mandy, Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy you found the cottage gorgeous and had the most comfortable stay. I’m sorry you were disappointed with the garden not being enclosed. We feel the open space adds to the countryside landscape beyond the old walls. The white Haart pub has new owners and they are reopening very soon. As for the hamper, we offer it to our guests who are staying with us for a week, but you’re right, I should make this clear in our listing. Property Owner

“I have never met such a lovely landlady as Dee.”

She makes sure that your stay is the best it could possibly be, by going above and beyond. The property was very clean and comfortable and in a great location with a very nice pub within a five minute walk. If you have a dog, they would be very much welcomed. I thoroughly recommend this property - I can’t think of anything negative to say.

“We had another wonderful stay at Dee and Tommy's lovely cottage and really appreciated that we could bring our pets with us.”

Everything was very clean and the cottage is beautifully furnished with everything you could need and the owners take so much time and trouble to ensure everything is ok. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place to be and we instantly felt at home when we arrived. There is so much to see in the local area and April is a wonderful time to be in Cornwall with all the Spring flowers and beautiful local gardens - Trengwainton, St Michael's Mount and further afield Enys and Lamorran. We would unreservedly recommend the cottage to anyone and would like to thank our kind, generous and friendly hosts, Dee and Tommy for a much needed quiet break. We can't wait to return again.

“‘The Cottage’ is a beautiful property, very clean, very comfortable and warm with everything needed for a weeks stay.”

Our dogs were also very comfortable and enjoyed the garden! The Wi-Fi was ideal and more than able to deal with 2 iPads and 2 iPhones, as well as the TV that had a huge number of channels / iPlayer / Netflix should that be required! The views, especially of St Michael’s Mount, are wonderful and it’s perfectly located to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall - eg: Penzance is approx a 10 min drive. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Dee and Tommy are delightful hosts, very accessible and friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay went without a hitch; the instructions received, via text prior to arrival, were faultless. The week has been fabulous, restorative and good for the soul. We look forward to returning.

“This property excelled all of my expectations!”

It was a beautiful 'space' to relax and enjoy this part or area of Cornwall. I visited with my 19 year old daughter and a little doggie.The location was simply amazing; the view from the kitchen window is of St. Michael's Mount! The other view from the main entrance is of the far reaching beautiful countryside! The walks that one can complete are limitless, one of which can take you down to St Michael's Mount, through a beautiful daffodil field! So close to Lands End, and many other astounding areas of natural beauty. Most of the places that we visited such as St Ives and Kynance Cove were only a very short drive away.I visit Cornwall every year, and this cottage and location is my most favourite, due to the location, and I will definitely be returning, and probably this year. We had good weather while we were there so I was able to enjoy my breakfast outside, there is a provided seating area, and the view that surrounded me was simply breathtaking! There is also a small grassed garden area, good for our little doggie to run freely in. The cottage is so beautifully and creatively furnished,; I loved all of the quirky touches, from the pictures/ paintings on the walls, to the book selection in the main rooms, being the living room and even in the bedroom. The selection of TV channels available to me and my daughter was more than we would normally expect, but welcomed. There was even an I pad supplied, which has been prepared with information of recommended places to eat etc. I was touched by the provision of the I pad and the level of trust that this evidences by the hosts to their guests. It is clear that the cottage has been very lovingly furnished with a lot of thought having gone into the furnishings/decor. Our hosts couldn't have done enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible, nothing was too much trouble. Their input and advice on how we could enjoy the local and surrounding area went over and above what I have previously experienced when I have visited Cornwall, because of this advice I was able to experience areas, beaches that I wouid never have known about. Their knowledge of the local and surrounding area is worth its weight in gold! Made life so much easier for me and my daughter. The bed was the most comfortable ever. The bathroom had heated underfloor heating, such a luxury for me and a lovely touch when one is attempting for the ultimate and relaxing bath! The local pub, which is merely a 5 minute walk was most welcomed, we has a few amazing meals there, to include a wonderful Sunday Roast, but it became our 'local' during the days and evenings where we would wander over for a drink or two staff all very friendly there, was an absolute pleasure. I personally couldn't fault my stay at all it was perfect in every way. I found it to be faultlessly clean, meaning I didnt have to clean anything at all, as I normally would. The dishwasher was a welcomed luxury too! It was warm and cosy, good for chilling out in the evenings! It's probably one of the first times that a cottage or holiday home has felt so truly homely for me in the uk, again, lots of little touches made this possible. I would like to express my extreme thanks to our hosts for such a wonderful and welcoming stay, I will definitely be returning!

Valerie March 2022

“The location is superb and it's a wonderful building - the bathroom is good and plenty of hot water, but these were the only things that stopped me from contacting you about a refund & leaving after two days.”

....... I arrived to no heating, no holidaymaker information for use of facilities and equipment - no 'goodies', not even a bit of milk in the fridge and a few biscuits..... I'd rung the owner on Thursday as you request but hadn't had the text that they said I'd be sent on Friday. So I'd chased for this as I drove down Saturday but the postcode for their home given in that did not exist and I had to find and refer to your information while en route. I was told when I rang there was actually no microwave so had a last minute change of plans for how I was going to prepare & eat. After phoning I was in some doubt about how long they thought I was staying and indeed whether I'd be in the property in the description. So on arrival the lounge/kitchen window (that wouldn't shut) was ajar with wind and rain pouring in and with no radiators on and with no cottage visitor information I rang the owner. Resulting from that call they had two attempts, but from the Sunday, at leaving an electric radiator for the lounge and they replaced some flower vases that had been spoiled in the dishwasher with some proper drinking glasses. When I rang I hadn't checked out other omissions but still no information or goodies even after they'd been in twice while I was out on subsequent days and the radiators only ever came on from 6.00-8.00pm and about 7.00 each morning, controlled from the house, so bedroom especially very cold - all of which I told them in reply to their texts including that I had thankfully grabbed a hot water bottle to bring with me in case of loss of power in the high winds forecast, so they couldn't have been in any doubt........ Oh and No mainstream TV channels, No washing Machine as listed and only one proper towel and a flimsy hand towel. I managed to dry out the window enough to close it but still the draught comes in. Just one teaspoon, ragged bedlinen and pillows that resulted in neck pain. Bin full when I bagged my minimal amount of rubbish on leaving 'tho no indication what to do with Recycling, nor indeed any 'green' measures....... I never saw the owners, nor did I want to by the time I left. So the experience is not up to the description. For a 'Mid Season' break it was way overpriced compared to others I've experienced. Facilities have not been monitored and I was treated shabbily, so I would like some concession to recognise that.

- Valerie, March 2022

Hello Valerie, We regret you had a negative experience with us. Your feedback comes as a huge surprise to us as we had been on call daily to action your multiple requests while you stayed for your entire booking duration…we have a record of positive reviews and repeat customers. Our place may not have been the right space for you, and that’s ok…***…..I would add that we had heating on for you almost all day long with electric and oil radiators….our welcome pack was thorough and filled with recommendations…we had recycling in the utility room but you must have missed it…we changed your drinking glasses because you said you didn’t like them….we offered you the use of the communal washing machine…we have Netflix, iplayer and many channels for you to enjoy…we left flowers for you daily…we left extra towels for you, and many other mindful gestures…With gratitude. Dee & Tommy. Property Owner

“The cottage was beautiful, extremely well equipped and comfortable.”

The bathroom in particular was warm and cosy. Dee and Tommy are very welcoming, friendly and kind hosts. The welcome food hamper was much appreciated, lovely touch was the delicious home made jam. Plenty of equipment for cooking which was great for us as we cook every night. The view of St Michael’s Mount from the kitchen was stunning. The village is a great location for exploring the surrounding area with plenty to see and do. We didn’t want to leave and would love to return to the area and cottage again. Thank you so much Dee and Tommy for being such accommodating, kind and generous hosts.

“We had a wonderful stay, great location to explore and the cottage was perfect and so well equipped.”

We had a wonderful welcome hamper from the owner Dee who’s knowledge of the area was very helpful and was one of the friendliest owners we’ve ever met nothing was to much trouble, would recommend this wonderful cottage to everyone !!!! For people visiting, St Michaels Mount, Minack Theatre and Lands End all a must ! Mutton Cove was amazing too seeing the Seals swimming was out of this world. All the above places where so easy to reach from the cottage in fact you can see St Michaels Mount from the kitchen window. We will defiantly be returning and be bringing some dog treats for Biscuit

“A few constructive suggestions: a microwave and washing machine would be useful.”

The wifi can be a bit hit-and-miss but that’s probably just the area. Otherwise it’s a lovely quirky characterful little place for two people and a dog. And the hosts are wonderfully friendly and helpful and left us a delicious welcome hamper. The cottage location is good. The local pub is fab, so is the church. And there are great walks with an easy one following St Michael’s Pilgrims Way down to Marazion. All in all we had a super stay and would recommend it to anyone, and come back ourselves.

“A Bohemian Rhapsody in Cornwall.”

As an experienced traveller across the UK I was delighted to stay in this gem of a property. Flat 1 is perfect for a couple or a lone traveller. It has the personality & vibe of the owner all over it – bright, colourful & unique. It is well equipped, everything works [!] & has possibly the most comfy bed I have ever slept in. There’s also a lovely garden, a bench & tables, excellent parking space , a fantastic local pub a short walk away & St. Michaels Mount within view. Also note, no seagulls within ear-shot – which as we know is a pain if you stay by the coastal front! The location is perfect for anyone who wants to explore as it’s in a central point & the 2 minute drive to the A30 gives immediate access to all the best locations. Well done to Dee for creating something unique in a crowded market & thank you for the welcome basket too ! Look forward to revisiting again.

Perched on the outskirts of the quaint village of Ludgvan in Cornwall, is this charming cottage set in a former school, previously the headmaster’s office dating 1860, the boutique style space is beautifully furnished and sleeps 2 guests.

The cottage is perched above the lower village and enjoys breathtaking views of St Michael’s mount and the sweeping fields of Ludgvan and crowlas. The private garden is a delight and offers a view to the sloping fields of the upper village and the historic church of Ludgvan.

For a truly relaxing experience you're able to request private use of the wood fired barrel sauna or cold plunge at the property.

Cross the road and just across from the cottage is the famous village bench, offering sweeping and unobstructed views of St Michaels mount all year around, perched majestically on a small island off of Marazion beach, merely a 5 mins drive away. Two off-road parking spaces greet you upon your arrival, along with a large shared communal garden and the ancient stone wall that borders the property. There are ample outdoor seatings perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or watching the moon in the evenings, tucked in a warm blanket. Be charmed by the welcoming and tasteful open-living space, and expect to be greeted with a hamper of fresh produce, you will have everything you need in the cottage: a well equipped kitchen, a bath and shower, plenty of space to hang and fold your clothes, a reading nook, a comfy sofa and TV to unwind after a day of exploring. There is quite a large utility room for anything you need to store while holidaying in Cornwall: hiking bots and bags, surfboards, bikes, luggage, wetsuits, etc. The double bedroom is an airy and bright room, delightfully decorated and enjoying beautiful sea views, mornings at the cottage are a true delight, open the stable single door of the cottage to be greeted with the magical view of the lower village and a huge private space to play with your dog. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful dwelling, the owner kindly offers a kennel service so you can leave your four-legged friend to rest while you venture out for a date night.

The cottage is ideally situated 5.5 miles from st ives, 2.3 miles from Penzance, within 6 minutes are the sandy beaches of Marazion and within 20 minutes you're in Sennen cove and lands end. Walk out of the cottage to stunning forest and coastal paths walks, and a 5 minute walk up to the lovely White Hart pub where you can enjoy a well-deserved drink and a tasty meal on those nights where you don’t feel like cooking. Within minutes, you can drive to St Michaels Mount Boat, and take a ferry service which offers trips to the island to explore the impressive medieval castle, vibrant gardens and a 15th century church. Tremenhere sculpture gardens are a short drive from the cottage, as well as Penzance and st ives where you can visit historical landmarks and enjoy a romantic stroll along the Promenade, before heading to the harbour where you can treat yourself to a bite to eat at the great selection of eateries.
