“We had an absolutely fantastic time at the little may cottage.”

The host Claire is excellent and friendly. The property is just a short way from Newquay and provided us the ability to visit many places whilst in Cornwall. The house was extremely clean and even included dog treats for our pup! There is a great field right next to the house to stretch out all of our legs and is even included in the price! We would highly recommend the little may cottage to our friends, family and anybody looking to explore Cornwall.

Barbara September 2023

“It was an intrusion into our holiday not being able to have the backdoor open for the dog to go out due to the cars arriving and leaving between 3pm and 6pm on the days we were there.”

We had not been forwarned prior to booking the holiday. No information on what could be recycled. No leaflets on local attractions in the are. The fridge door was hung on the wrong side to gain access to the fridge. You needed to lean round the door. The door was reversible.

“We had a fantastic holiday in Cornwall and Little May was as described.”

Clair was marvellous, nothing seemed too much trouble at all . Quiet and rural location with good access to Newquay and the surrounding area.

“2nd stay at Little May.”

“This is a lovely little cottage that is perfect for couples, and Claire is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble for her.”

It's in the perfect location for Newquay, Parenporth, Hollywell Bay etc, but there are some need to knows that considering guests should be aware of. Pro's 1. Location 2. Very clean and modern 3. VERY POWERFUL oven and hob (I know because I cremated a pizza in it in less than 7 minutes!) 4. Amazing Host. 5. Stunning views Cons. 1. The owners live next door and you can see their garden from the living room window that may feel a little obtrusive to some people. 2. Claire teaches swimming lessons in the evenings from 4pm-6pm and on Saturdays from 10am - 12pm so parking can get busy, but Claire ensures no one parks in your bay and her students remain considerate to her guests. 3. There is no washing machine or ironing board at the cottage ( understandable because it is small) 4. The bed isn't very comfortable, but isn't a huge inconvenience. 5. No local shops - everywhere is a drive (didn't bother us, but may do with some people) Overall, we enjoyed our stay at little may, and I would recommend it to anyone if you just want a get away where you can be left alone to venture out with your pooch.

“We had a fantastic stay at Little May.”

The setting with the views over the fields was outstanding. The cottage was perfect for what we needed and, most important of all, it was ideal for the dogs. Great hosts, friendly, approachable & knowledgeable about the area. All in all it was exactly what we needed.

Trevor June 2022

“We had a great week at Little May Cottage, it was very cosy and spotlessly clean it's location was fantastic with great views across the lovely countryside especially from the field which you are allowed to sit and exercise your dogs, the Cottage was down a lane away from any passing traffic and very peaceful, the owners were friendly and approachable and very respectful of your privacy.”

All in all we had a great time and will definitely return to Little May

- Trevor, June 2022

“The cottage is lovely and comfortable, however the knives and forks plastic were child size and flimsy.”

We were contacted by owner for access when we arrived as they were away until Sunday. On Sunday no contact but asked the husband and he said he'd get some but not to throw old ones away, quite stand offish. These were given to us Wednesday,. We thought we had a patio and access to shared garden/field, this turned out to be a car park for swimming lessons in hosts pool 4pm to 7pm and Saturday mornings. The amount of traffic as we sat trying to relax/eat outside was upsetting as this wasn't in itinerary, we booked last August. Reading feedbaxk from this year someone else has left similar feedback, we booked last August as we certainly wouldn't have booked it. No local walks as stated either. We didn't see female owner until we were packing to leave Saturday in passing asked if we'd had a good week, we mentioned not knowing about swimming lessons and car parking, she said it does say in description, and we had to share area, quite rude. The owners also had a large alsation dog, our dogs petrified when it barked We wanted a quiet get away with our 2 dogs, this wasn't quiet or completely dog friendly as stated.videos and photos taken to back this complaint.

Cottage clean & comfortable Hosts were welcoming & said if we needed them we could contact them Did greet us on passing Grassed area to exercise dogs only drawback as most days cars we coming in & out visiting the indoor pool which caused my dogs to bark alot Did not locate any walks for our dogs without going out in car as end of track was a busy A road Plenty of places to visit in surrounding area Other than this we had a lovely time quiet in the evening to relax

“Fabulous home from home.”

The cottage was the perfect base for us to explore Cornwall. The owners were super friendly and gave us some great info of the area and recommendations. We loved sitting out on the swing seat and taking in the beautiful views and our little dog had a blast running around the paddock. Thanks for a great holiday!

- Rachael, August 2021
Fiona July 2021

“Great place for what we needed.”

Everything supplied and if you needed something I'm sure the hoist would supply. Very friendly and helpful. Perfect place for our dog to have a run around first thing, dry off from the beach on the grass or last thing at night (secure and the option of closing the main gate if you needed). Will recommend and already thinking of booking it again next year

- Fiona, July 2021
Graham June 2021

“Very comfortable accommodation with everything you need.”

Grant May 2021

“Our stay at Little May was really good just what we needed the facilities were as advertised.”

The only thing we would change would be slightly more seating. The area for the dogs was brilliant and the owners were very friendly. It was a shame the weather was not too good but that's Britain for you.

- Grant, May 2021

Susie October 2020

“The cottage is ideally situated for rambling beach walks and headland hikes.”

Our dog was welcome and he thoroughly enjoyed romping in the enclosed garden. The facilities were just what we needed for a few days away from the city. We were made to feel very welcome and Clair was a great host. We will definitely come again. No internet meant that we had more time to read. Thank you.
