"The house overall is ok."
Attention to the cleanliness needs to be looked into. There were hairs everywhere from the long ones on the skirting in the bathroom to carpets and body hair on the bathroom sink! The bathroom was very dirty, there is black mould around the bath/sealant, which looks very bad. Red looking dirt on the tiles near the taps. The sink waste plug surrounding was dirty. Overall the upstairs bathroom was a big let down and needs revamping. The trays in the kitchen oven were dirty and greasy. There were covers on the very uncomfortable sofas that didn’t fit and slid down/moved constantly, they were very annoying. The hot water was only on for the first night, we had to keep putting the emersion on and wait many hours to get a shower that wasn’t freezing. Finally, I contacted the company to ask about Christmas decoration, as it was Christmas. I was told it would be decorated, however, a 2ft tree with 5 strange and random decorations, 2 cushion covers and a sellotaped ‘Merry Christmas’ sign on the mirror was an extremely poor show. I felt very let down by this especially as I had said I was willing to take my own, I was just clarifying as most places I’ve rented like to decorate themselves. Until now, I’ve always been very happy with the decoration in other places we’ve rented. Whilst I understand it’s a dog friendly place, which is great, the cleaning and attention to detail could be so much better. I won’t be returning unfortunately.
I am very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay at Manuka. I haven't had any complaints regarding the cleanliness from the cleaners side of things, although they do not always check the trays in the oven. You would expect the previous visitors have the same standards as yourself? We have only had the cottage for just over 2 years and are in the process of upgrading it. The bathroom will be seen to this year.
I do agree with you regarding the covers on the sofas but they are removable and again this is something I need to look into as it is a dog friendly cottage.
The hot water was found to be a faulty thermostat and needed a plumber, so should have been reported, this problem was eradicated straight away once we were informed by the next letting.
Contact numbers for any problems or advise you may have are in the visitors book.
I am so sorry regarding the Christmas tree and decorations, the tree was a little small. We have never been asked for Christmas decorations before and it was a struggle purchasing Christmas items so late in the year. We now have a really nice much larger spruce with all the trimmings for this year. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will reconsider visiting again.

"Great place to stay in."
We stayed in another cottage there two years ago which was very poor and disappointing, Everything in this cottage is of high quality which makes you holiday that much better. Will be staying there again. Lovely place and the site is also well maintained.

"We had a fantastic stay at the Manuka accommodation."
Very child and dog friendly with all the amenities you'd need. The welcome pack felt very homely. We will certainly be planning a return visit.

"Returning guest to Pendra Loweth after multiple stays since 2003."
Our second stay in Manuka. This cottage is definitely in the top 3 on the site, based on our having stayed in 14 different cottages on the site over the last 20 years. Facilities within the cottage are perfectly adequate with everything needed for self-catering with some added home comforts.
Only one minor issue on this occasion is with the opening times at the onsite bar, Joyfuel. Food is only being offered on Friday and Saturday evenings at present, with advertising for their being open from April to October. That said, Pendra Loweth is an ideal base for exploring West
Cornwall and the Lizard.

"Only slight problem was that the bath was a little difficult to get in and out of in order to shower."
Another hand rail would have been helpful. However we found a step stool underneath the stairs which helped us.

This was, however, our first stay in Manuka Cottage. Good to see owners in the progress of updating the facilities within the cottage. Already booked for September!
