    “The two dead plants at the front door were not a very good welcome.”

    We wondered when the owners last visited their property or indeed when the property was last inspected by Sykes. The lower lock on the front door requires attention. It seems to be malfunctioning. The worn and dirty cream carpet on the stairs and in the two bedrooms was a poor colour chose. Its condition was an eyesore and a distraction and not at all an asset. The cold tap in the kitchen was stiff and difficult to turn on and off. In contrast the cold tap in the bathroom constantly ran or ...

    We wondered when the owners last visited their property or indeed when the property was last inspected by Sykes. The lower lock on the front door requires attention. It seems to be malfunctioning. The worn and dirty cream carpet on the stairs and in the two bedrooms was a poor colour chose. Its condition was an eyesore and a distraction and not at all an asset. The cold tap in the kitchen was stiff and difficult to turn on and off. In contrast the cold tap in the bathroom constantly ran or dripped unless turned off firmly. The small freezer in the kitchen was full of ice in desperate need of defrosting. The kitchen was small and cluttered with hardly any useful work surface to prepare food or serve food. There were too many (unnecessary) items in the kitchen cupboards and drawers and crucially little space to store groceries. The left hand side of the French doors has dropped and requires maintenance. It could only be closed with great difficulty by lifting it back into place. The downstairs toilet door was difficult to open and close. Again it requires some basic maintenance. Parking was difficult as other guests randomly parked in our designated space. The designated space was located some distance from the cottage. On the plus side. The mattresses / beds were comfortable. The shower was excellent. The general grounds at Pendra Loweth were well maintained, but the actual garden at the cottage needed some attention. However the outlook over the lawn and woodland was excellent.

    - Jet, July 2024

    Following the reinstatement of Morton Cottage recently we would like to address the points raised in your feedback after your visit in July. We were very sorry to hear of the issues you raise which as you will see are in stark contrast to the many other positive reviews we've received for the property. You will be pleased to hear that the house is closed off for the winter whilst the owners go through the property to maintain and upgrade following a very busy season. To confirm, the pots at the front door were taken away and replanted, the general maintenance of the grounds, including the garden outside the property is part of Pendra Loweth’s remit. All of the doors and windows were replaced before the beginning of the season in accordance with the current fire regulations. The fire risk assessment was carried out by Black Rook who passed the house as safe. Exit doors would have featured large in their assessment, however these have been checked by the owner as a matter of urgency and they have reported back that they have been unable to find any issues with the patio doors and the lower lock on the front door has also been checked and found to be working perfectly. There is no freezer at the property but there is a small freezer compartment in the fridge which may not be defrosted between each guest but IS defrosted regularly, had you let us know it was frozen during your stay we could have asked our housekeeper to attend and rectify this for you. The owners visit at least once a month, and check that kitchen cupboards and drawers are tidy and saucepans, crockery etc are back in the appropriate places. This leaves two cupboards for guests to use for food storage. The vast majority of guests comment on how exceptionally well equipped the cottage is. The taps will be checked as a matter of routine however no-one else has complained about a problem with taps. The owners are aware that the carpet in the property is due for replacement and this is being addressed. You will appreciate that the parking of other guests is beyond our control, however allocated parking is available and had you raised the parking issue with us we would have been able to try and resolve this for you. The owner takes their letting of Morton Cottage very seriously and pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences, this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.

The property

A welcoming and well-equipped family home set in a quiet corner of the Village of Gardens holiday complex at Pendra Loweth, Morton Cottage is just a short drive from Falmouth.

Located at the end of a terrace near the onsite tennis courts and a pathway leading down to Maenporth beach, the cottage backs on to a streamside path and enjoys a pleasant aspect.

On the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen and an open plan dining and lounge area, from where, doors lead out on to a west facing patio complete with outdoor table and chairs, the perfect spot for sunny breakfasts and somewhere to relax whilst the children play on the shared lawn beyond.

On the first floor are two comfortable bedrooms; the twin room aimed at children but perfectly suitable for adults too.

The family bathroom is also located on the first floor.

Morton Cottage has been equipped very much with the family in mind, and guests will no doubt enjoy the games, toys, books and films left by the owners.

The Village of Gardens itself is also ideal for young families, with a small plunge pool and childrens play area onsite, as well as the tennis courts and a Jacuzzi (seasonal opening times).

When you want to explore further, the sheltered beaches at Maenporth and Swanpool are very popular with families and offer good conditions for bathing and kayaking and the town of Falmouth is just a short drive away.

Falmouth is home to a range of shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle and several beautiful gardens.

A fantastic base for a family holiday throughout the year, Morton Cottage is a great option for those seeking a combination of beach and sightseeing.

Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes). For nature lovers there is the Swanpool Nature Reserve, a lagoon and site of special scientific interest teeming with a variety of wildlife. There is also a golf course. Falmouth offers such a rich variety of landscape and attractions for people of all ages, it is sure to tempt you back time and again.
