“It was absolutely a wonderful stay at Hedgehog cottage.”

Everything was great, it was a lovely cottage. We have stayed at Pendra a few times now and all the cottages are great. We come down to Falmouth at least once a year as we have family there. Looking forward to our next stay, and we will try and book Hedgehog cottage again

“Our only slight criticism was that we feel that the settees were a little uncomfortable as they were too low and felt that the structure had started to sag Everything else was great .”

The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had more than enough equipment .We were still finding equipment 3 days into our holiday. We had a fabulous 2 weeks meeting with our family who live in Falmouth and Mabe and the weather was good too. Thank you xx

- Colin, September 2024

Thank you for staying at our cottage. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and we have taken note of your comments about the settees. We will assess the situation and take any remedial action as soon as convenient. Glad that there was enough kitchen equipment for all your needs and that you were blessed with good weather for your stay with us. Mr & Mrs M Property Owner

“Second visit same week as last year.”

Weather not as good but still a lovely relaxing week in this beautiful setting. The cottage is fabulously equipped and our feedback last year had been actioned with an empty cupboard for non fridge goods. The beds are super comfy. The hot tap on the upstairs sink is difficult to turn and the water flow is virtually non existant. A little rinseaid and salt for the dishwasher would be useful. Other than that cannot fault anything. Would 100% recommend this cottage and this location. Thank you.

- Margaret, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback and your kind comments. We will investigate the hot water tap situation in the bathroom and will deal with it as appropriate. Thank you for telling us. Rinse aid and salt should not have been necessary as the tablets/capsules provided are "all in one" but again, we will review this to ensure the correct items are included. We hope to welcome you again (hopefully with better weather). Mr & Mrs M Property Owner

Loads to do and places to visit, highly recommend

Jacqui September 2023

“Beautiful, comfortable and clean home from home accommodation.”

So well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. Even provided dish washer tablets for the dishwasher. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay and would definitely recommend Hedgehog Cottage for a perfect holiday.

Your comments are much appreciated and we are please that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage. Mr & Mrs M Property Owner

“Great holiday home in a secluded area.”

Nice to have a bar, gym and plunge pool/jacuzzi on site (although we did not use them). Home did not have a washing machine but there was a laundry onsite (although a wash and tumble dry cost approx £10 which was a bit steep!). Master bedroom had a double bed and second bedroom was a twin. The kitchen was well equipped but there was very limited space available for storing food/provisions. Dishwasher/oven/fridge-freezer were clean, as was whole house. There was an issue with the TV, which had obviously been reported to the owner by the previous occupant, as I received a call from the owner. She offered to provide another TV from a friend, however I deduced that the issue was with the remote control, rather than the TV itself. I passed this on to the owner and she very quickly organised a suitable replacement to be provided. Not really an issue as we brought an Amazon Fire TV stick with us which got around the immediate issue (after we took the batteries out of the duff remote control). This demonstrated the owner's desire for good customer service. Overall, I would certainly stay here again. Overall cost for the week was reasonable.

- Bryan, August 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and understanding over the problem with the TV. Your help in the matter was really appreciated. The comment concerning the cost of the central laundry facility is being passed to the site administration for their consideration and your suggestion concerning the cupboard storage space for provisions has been noted; we intend to give this our attention at the end of the season. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

Christine June 2023

“Have visited this property several times and it continues a high standard of comfort and cleanliness.”

Very well equipped and provides a real home from home in a lovely location

- Christine, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments about our property. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back and we are pleased that you enjoy your visits to Hedgehog Cottage. Mr & Mrs M, owners. Property Owner
Margaret May 2023

“So well equipped there was no cupboard space to store food that couldn't go in the fridge.”

The request for the twin beds to be set up as a king size was not actioned so we did it ourselves. Other than that this cottage is fantastic. Its our third visit to Pendra Loweth but our first to Hedgehog and we've already booked this cottage again for same week next year. Hope we get the same weather.

- Margaret, May 2023

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and we apologise that the beds were not set up as you expected. Unfortunately, neither the housekeeper nor ourselves had been advised of your request. Your observation on the kitchen cupboards has been noted and a revision of the space available will be given consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Mr & Mrs M, owners. Property Owner

Sue April 2023

“Honestly the best accommodation we have ever stayed in!”

Hedgehog Cottage felt cosy and homely from the moment we walked through the door. A beautiful and peaceful location with an abundance of wildlife, and not far from the sea. We were sad to leave, so we will definitely be back. Thank you for making our stay a happy and memorable one.

- Sue, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments about our cottage and the surroundings. We are so glad that you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to welcoming you back again. Mr & Mrs M, owners. Property Owner
Irene July 2022

“At Hedgehog Cottage we had a comfortable home from home holiday.”

Everything we needed was provided and more. Only ten minutes from a beautiful beach and perfect base for exploring surrounding resorts such as St. Michael's Mount etc. The onsite bar/cafe provided good reasonably priced food with friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely like to come again ☆☆☆☆☆

“Being from Falmouth originally, we’ve been searching for somewhere comfortable but close to family.”

This little house was absolutely perfect for us, so much so, we wanted to spend more time in side and enjoying the walks around the site. We will 100% be back again. Thank you so much

Michael August 2021

“Way too expensive, think we got robbed by the supply and demand due to COVID staycations and I think Sykes overly monopolised on this, place was tired and needs an overhaul, beds, sofas chairs etc are not comfy and for nearly three grand for two weeks I expected way better.”

Kitchen cupboards are full of too much useless crockery leaving no room for food. Has a dishwasher we never used and would benefit from a washing machine. No BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture is junk, snapped lats on one of the rickety wooden chairs. Very old TV, not a smart TV so no streaming. DVD player but no DVDs, VHS video player (yes really) but no VHS tapes to play. The small fridge was missing parts which gave it even less shelf room and the back shelf that was there was broken and a bit manky. No way near worth the money we paid.

- Michael, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The prices do fluctuate throughout the year based on the request of the market and are variable. Regarding the property, the owners had it recently painted both on the inside and on the outside. The preference for mattress and sofas if very personal and no one else has reported this issue before but the owners will look into this and see if anything can be improved even further. For the kitchen crockery the owners made sure that guests will always have enough of each so they provided full sets for each type and sometimes even more. With the provided dishwasher and tablets it's easy to use multiple items per day without having to worry about the dishes. The property does not advertised having a washing machine, BBQ or Smart TV. There is a laundry on site that can be used by all guests. The DVDs and VHSs had to be removed from the property due to covid cleaning guidelines and you have been informed before about it before your arrival and it is also mentioned in the guests booklet present at the property. The owners apologise for the restricted garden furniture in line with the note that was left inside the property. New furniture will be provided as soon as possible. In regards of the fridge, the issue has not been reported before but the housekeeper will check in the next changeover and change the shelf if necessary. Property Owner
Howard July 2021

“Holiday Estate is quiet, and nicely laid out but access to it is via very narrow roads with sharp bends.”

at busier times of the year (school summer holidays) this could be a problem with the volume of traffic. Didn't use any of the facilities at the centre so can't comment on these. The info in the cottage gives details of a walk to the beach indicating it is a 20 min stroll - took 50 mins and we are fast walkers. it wasn't the closest beach either - but probably a safer walk. Reasonably easy to get out to visit places - so long as you don't mind single track roads.

- Howard, July 2021
Jenny May 2021

“Hedgehog cottage is a lovely homely accommodation for a family.”

It is set in lovely, peaceful gardens. The accommodation was clean, it has all facilities such as iron, dishwasher and clothes airer. We had a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend staying here for a good location for exploring south Cornwall.

- Jenny, May 2021
Ellie April 2021

“Hedgehog Cottage is a perfect choice for a couple or small family.”

It was extremely clean, very well equipped, a comfortable bed with good quality linen, and had lots of charming touches. It was lovely to find a courtesy tray of tea, coffee and biscuits, plus milk in the fridge, on arrival. Most of all, Hedgehog Cottage had a homely feel. Pendra Loweth, though a ‘holiday park’, is beautifully landscaped, very well kept and spacious. We didn’t visit the club, but it was good to see people sitting outside, enjoying the sun and a beer. It’s very near to Falmouth and the beaches and a short drive to many other beauty spots. The booking process was easy and communication with Sykes was clear and timely. After many weeks of lockup, we needed a break. And this was just what we needed.
