"Second time we have stayed and we are back in September for the third time."
Lovely setting for us as dog walks and beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Garden is well kept and simply beautiful and for us it makes this so lovely. I loved the afternoons under the magnolia tree reading in the shade. Spotlessly clean, parking and lovely neighbours.. Definitely need a car but loads to do. Truro and Falmouth are a short drive away with everything you could need.
Thank you again for a lovely fortnight.

"Lovely bungalow in a very quiet pleasant area."
The large garden was a real bonus. Our spaniel loved it
The rooms were not large but very comfortable and tastefully decorated.
Our only criticism is that the bathroom floor is very slippery , even in bare feet.

"It needs to be a little bit more disabled friendly."
A grab rail in the shower and another outside the front door. Waste bin for the lounge and a bread bin. It could do with some more mugs. The property has been brilliant and with the small additions mentioned it could be even better. Excellent for our dogs with an enclosed garden. Location is 10/10. We have booked again for later in the year and will book again for 2025. Thank-you.

The beds were comfortable but the pillows were a bit flat.
The addition of the door to the garden was a real asset for our dog.
The cottage was spotlessly clean,so well done the cleaner.
All the locals were very friendly whilst out on our morning walk,they loved a little chat.
The spar shop was very well stocked and has a post office.
We had to contact the owner with a query and he came straight round.
This is the second time we have stayed here as we have family in the area.
Thank you for the milk and biscuits very welcome after a long drive.

Excellent for our dogs and lots of parking. The only suggestion we have as our son has special needs is a grab rail in the shower and possibly another one outside the front door.

"What a lovely bungalow, well kitted out with everything you needed for a week's stay."
On arrival the property was clean and tidy. The only observation we have is that it might be worth leaving a chopping board out, it took us a couple of days to find it! We were more concerned about blunting the knives on the glass chopping board.
We really appreciated the tea, coffee, milk & biscuits (which we enjoyed!) that was a lovely gesture, along with the dishwasher tablets & washing machine tablets, hand towel & dish clothes etc (although we did bring our own supplies with us).
We had fabulous weather and really enjoyed our week in Cornwall, reliving many childhood memories.

"The bungalow smelt of damp."
The owners had put the heating on to mask the smell, but it was awful. It was so bad, we left early. When we got home, I washed everything in our suitcases as it all smelt damp. It was awful.
Thank you for your feedback and it is a shame that you did not contact anybody during your stay. Most of the windows have ventilation catches, which we would recommend are used especially if you are drying clothes around the property, as it is a small cottage. The owner lives a short distance from the property and is happy to assist with any help a guest may need during their stay.

"When we arrived at the property, we found it warm and welcoming, which is always good after a long drive."
We found the coffee, tea, milk and some saffron buns as a welcoming pack, I must say I've had better, but it was enough to start. In the morning we noticed that the shower curtain was in need of change, so I rang the owner and he came round to change it as soon as he could, which was good.
The single beds are very small.
My only disappointment was in the kitchen, the cooker was very old and inefficient, so I would like to see a more up to date when we return, also although the fridge freezer worked ok it made a lot of noise when working so it could be on its way out, my only of the minor thought was that the garden could do with some TLC.
Other wise we are looking forward to our next stay.
Just one other thing, I you walk to the Punch Bowl & Ladle [local pub] take a torch and a high vis jacket as there's no footpath.
