  • "We have just returned from what is our second stay at Chenalls Cottage with heavy hearts."

    .why? Why because this is a spectacular cottage that really is beyond compare. It truly is a "Chocolate Box" cottage with every comfort you could ever wish for along with beautiful gardens containing a vast array of lovely trees, shrubs and flowers. A private driveway that can easily park 3 cars. We have met up with owners Chris and Shirley several times now. They are so friendly and fun to be with. They really do all they can to make your stay a memorable one. The cottage is in the best possible location for all the A and B roads, making it so simple to drive anywhere in Cornwall. The beautiful town of Helston being just 3 minutes drive with the cheapest petrol in all of Cornwall! We will definetly be back again in 2024.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. You are both a joy to have stay in our cottage. It was also lovely to meet Sue's brother. You are so positive, so friendly, made us laugh so much with your sense of humour. We cannot wait to see you again in 2024. Have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year. Shirley & Chris.

    Fantastic location for travelling all around Cornwall. Despite the mixed weather, we still had great days out and always looked forward to coming back in the evenings. Would love to come back again and explore other areas of Cornwall. Shirley and Chris the owners were very helpful and are always around if needed. The welcome drinks was a nice touch when we arrived.

    The Summerhouse was great to take out a cuppa and a book. It was also nice to wander round the grounds, lots of wildlife. It was ideally situated for access to the North, South and far West of Cornwall.

    The cottage was gorgeous and furnished with absolutely everything you could need. And as the weather during our stay was (sadly) mostly miserable, it was heaven to return to it each night. In addition, the owners were very helpful and kind, and clearly care about their tenants. We really didn't want to leave!

  • "If I was to pick a fault it was the heating."

    It was on most of the time and made it far to warm in the morning, we was not sure how to turn it off. But that’s all.

    Thank you for your feedback. Disappointed that we failed to receive a full score because the cottage was too warm. We do like our guests to be warm and comfortable when they arrive at the cottage and we try to judge the weeks weather and set the heating accordingly. The Economy 7 storage heaters can be turned off from an electric switch next to the heater or, the output of heat can be turned down, or off from the top of the heater. We also leave our contact details at the cottage in case there are any questions or we are needed for anything at all. Such a shame you did not ring or message us, to ask that we turn the heating down or off for you. Property Owner

Shirley and Chris were very helpful, coming round within minutes of us ringing and altering the position of the stair gate up for us.

    Very central for visiting this area of Cornwall.

    We met Shirley and Chris, the owners, who called in the day after our arrival and to say goodbye before we departed. The weather was very good during our holiday and we managed to visit all the National Trust properties in the area and also spent an afternoon down on the beach at Church Cove, Gunwalloe. We had Sunday Lunch at the New Yard Restaurant at Trelowarren and visited Henleys in Helston for their very good value "Steak Night". We also visited the Slice café twice at Shirley and Chris's Homestead Gardens and they invited us along to view their other letting property which we did. We were very impressed with the smaller apartment which would be good for a shorter break. Maybe next year!

  • "Our cottage was really fabulous, everything worked, everything was comfortable, warm and welcoming."

    We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely use Cornish Cottage holidays again. One peculiar experience was on Tuesday a gentlemen came into the garden un-announced, didn't say hello to my mother who was standing by the open back door, he continued to spray the garden with a chemical for a short period of time and then left. We hadn't been told we'd have any trades visit or maintain the cottage while we were staying so it was very disconcerting to have him arrive and do what he needed to do. When he left my mother couldn't sit on the garden for a some time as the smell of the chemicals that had been used were too strong. If trades do need to visit the house, it would be nice to have them there when guests are not there or guests should be made aware that a tradesman will be calling, when, why and for how long.

    Everything we needed was there. We met the owner of the holiday home at the Slice, which she also owns. A very nice place to go and eat and within walking distance of her Holiday Home. Same high level attention to detail and lovely food. It is out of the way a little, a car is a definite requirement. There is no wifi and phone signal is not great (for using mobiles) Although this sounds like a moan, it isn’t. Just an observation for clarity. Would we book again? Yes, without a doubt.

  • "Somewhat misleading to describe the property address as Porthleven."

    Helston would be more appropriate. It should also be made clear out that the property sits alongside the Redruth to Helston road. With windows open during the hot weather the traffic noise, if you are not used to it, is very disruptive. I left the holiday suffering from sleep deprivation. In all other respects, the property is faultless
