“We had a great time at Brunnion House.”

The friendly and approachable owners were close by and nothing was too much trouble. It provided access to most places with a short drive to local supermarkets and other shops, and of course the local beaches. The dogs loved a play on the beach to burn off some energy. There was a dog friendly pub a few minutes drive around the corner, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet of our surroundings. The house was warm and cosy after a day out.

There was a dog friendly pub a few minutes drive around the corner, but we enjoyed the peace and quiet of our surroundings. The house was warm and cosy after a day out. The garden birds were plentiful including over 20 gold finches, a pleasant sight even in the pouring rain - well it was Cornwall in January but it was a lovely relaxing break. It's been a about 14 months since our last visit to the South West of Cornwall, but I think the local drivers need to have some lessons in driving etiquette. They are generally so aggressive and impolite. However, it didn't spoil our break.

“We love visiting Cornwall and, this year, Brunnion House made it a perfect break.”

The hosts, Patsy and Roger were on holiday when we arrived so Ali, who was looking after the house in their absence, welcomed us and showed us into the house. What a beauty! The house was warm and inviting, comfortable bed, hot shower and a cosy kitchen and dining area where we ate breakfast watching the birds in the garden. And the upstairs sitting room....large, comfortable and beautifully decorated with views from windows on all sides. We were made up! The weather was perfect, blue skies and sunshine every day which was ideal for visiting the scenic coastal villages. On Thursday night the weather turned and the heavens opened. Come Friday morning, it was still bucketing down so we decided to stay in the house for the day. Unheard of, for us on holiday, but it didn't bother us as the house was so warm and cosy and we had the chance to read Patsy's very interesting book on the history of the area. Then we met Patsy. Such a friendly and likeable lady and full of information. Thank you so much, Patsy and Roger, we had a lovely holiday in your beautiful house and would love to return, We wish both of you all the very best.

“Had a lovely stay in Brunnion Cottage & would definitely recommend to others.”

“Cornwall is a lovely place but not dog friendly at all st ives is very bad for ...”

Cornwall is a lovely place but not dog friendly at all st ives is very bad for parking and the food is average pub food but the beaches are lovely but couldn’t take 2 small french bulldogs on any beach in st ives so won’t be revisiting

The two St. Ives beaches that are available for dogs are only usable at low to half tide but that there was a lovely area know as 'The Island' that is totally dog friendly and available at any time. Guests were supplied with a 'dog friendly guide' to the area. We advised that parking in St Ives could be a problem but that it was possible to catch the train, which is very reasonable and takes dogs for free, from either Carbis Bay or St Erth stations. We did tell them that the pub half a mile up the road from here was under new management and that we had eaten there and considered the food to be tasty average pub food. There are plenty of other places in the area, with parking, that do excellent food. Sykes owner relations

“Brunnion House was the perfect place for our family and dog this summer.”

The owners were very kind and welcoming to us and the house was very spacious and comfortable with beautiful views over nearby Trencrom Hill. We also enjoyed watching the nature in the well kept gardens. Brunnion House is in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to lots of dog friendly places like Porth Kidney beach, Mexico Towans beach and Trencrom Hill. We also went to St Ives town and Carbis Bay which were close by. We would definitely like to stay again in the future.
Mrs Gore June 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay at Brunnion House, and we were made very welcome by Patsy and Roger.”

The house was comfortable, had everything we needed, and was ideally situated to explore the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend it to others looking for a peaceful holiday hideaway.
Mrs simms June 2019

“The cottage was amazing, a hide away in a very peaceful location.”

The owners Patsy and Roger ensured we were happy with everything prior and at the Start of our holiday, even though they were on holiday themselves!! Would definitely return again, and the Engine pub is a must and can be reached on foot in approx 15 mins, good food and drink and stunning beer garden over looking the countryside. Thank you again Patsy and Roger for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage.
Miss Richardson May 2019

“Patsy and Roger are lovely people and the house is gorgeous!”

! We'll definitely be back as soon as we can afford it!!

“We didn't want to come home!!”

We've just returned from a week's holiday in this property, and we didn't want to come home!! It was gorgeous, peaceful and quiet, and the owners Patsy and Roger are lovely people - very kind, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about the local area. The whole area is dog friendly, so it was perfect for us!! Fabulous views peaceful surroundings and plenty to do. We'll be going back as soon as we can afford it!!

“We loved the peace and the privacy of the property, the lovely garden and the amount of light were fantastic.”

We found the double bed tiny for a couple (we are small in height and weight) and unfortunately the cleaning approximate, especially under and around rugs we accidentally touched, under the pillows in the seating area in the kitchen. Also an ant treatment is recommended as they appeared very frequently, even just with a cup of tea - no food! -by the kitchen window. The pump for the water in the kitchen is extremely noisy and every time anyone uses any water, like the loo at night time, it goes off - it would be good to place it outside or to put some sound insulation in the cupboard. A minor suggestion on the info pack: it was overall useful, we personally found unfriendly the amount of details and tone of the instructions (on how to deal with garbage for instance) and did not make us feel welcome. We often rent cottages in Cornwall and most people recycle and are happy to help! Hope these can help

Many thanks for your feedback. The owners greet their guests and advise them they are available, if they need any help with anything at all during their stay. The double bed is a standard double and she will address the points you mentioned regarding the cleaning with her cleaner and check for any ants. Again thank you for your feedback.

“Fabulous !!”

We have just returned from a very relaxing weeks stay at Brunnion House. The location is amazing , beautiful views of the landscape, excellent walk to the top of Trencom Hill , no noise so slept extremely well, gardens front and rear and a field available to exercise our dog if needed, yet only a 10 min drive to the centre of St Ives or in the other direction Penzance and St Michael’s Mount. We loved the cottage , huge comfy lounge with log fire ( it wasn’t needed as the heating was ample ) but seeing as it is January it made it feel really cosy with it lit in the evenings. Beds really comfortable, bedding and towels included in the price. The kitchen had everything you need, we especially appreciated a caffettiera , I do like my ground coffee. The owners are very friendly without being too overbearing or in your face, but are close by if you do need them. Ideally you will need a car to get here and around the sights but there is ample parking on site.

“Four of us came to Brunnion House for a couple of nights, pre-Christmas.”

We'd come a long way and for a family funeral, so not the best of times for us personally. However, our stay at the cottage completely lifted our spirits and the house provided somewhere comfortable and very pleasant as a base. We'd like to express our thanks to Patsy and Roger for the all-too-brief time we had there. You made us so very welcome and looked after our every need. It was also very nice to get to know you a little bit. I'm bookmarking your place for a future stay when we're in west Cornwall visiting again as a family. It's a superb home in a gorgeous setting; I feel we've discovered a little gem.
Mr Millard September 2018

“Could be a beautiful cottage but could have been a lot cleaner and the whole place was smelling of damp.”

Left clothes in suitcase because draws were smelling of damp. Car needed as it is way off the main roads along very narrow country lanes

“Our only regret is that we only booked one week”

We really enjoyed our stay at Brunnion House with our 2 sons (1 and 3 yo). When we first arrived our reaction literally was: oh no, we only booked for one week! From the outside the house looks stunning with a beautiful and fairly large front and back garden. From the inside the house was very comfortable, family (baby) friendly and with loads of places to enjoy the view of the countryside and relax and read a book. The location worked really well for us as well. Everything was within a 10 to 20 minute drive away. From the beaches of St Ives to St Michaels Mount. Even Lands End is at an OK distance at about a 30 min drive (which is about the max. our children want to sit in the car at the moment). On top of that the owners were really nice and welcoming as well. Although when we arrived they themselves were enjoying a holiday abroad, everything was taken care of: from the advance notices to the welcoming letter and the 'welcome to our house present'. We would definitely want to stay here again, and longer then just one week ;-) !
Mr Loxdale June 2018

“Fantastic holiday, fantastic cottage, fantastic owners !”
Mr Waarsenburg June 2018

“Everything we (a family of four with two young children) needed or could wish for, was there: a babybath, a cot, lots of room upstairs to play and crawl, a washing machine and dishwasher and lovely gardens.”

All the must see sights are within a thirty minutes drive from the cottage, which was perfect for us. Although the weather wasn't that great, we had a wonderful time at Brunnion House. Patsy and Roger really made us feel welcome and the occasional fox and pheasant were lovely surprises.

“Lovely warm welcome”

We received a lovely warm welcome from the owners who live on site and so are available to help but who will leave you in peace to enjoy this beautiful cottage, We stayed with our teenage girls and two small dogs and had a fantastic time, The cottage is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. A great base for exploring around St Ives, Penzance and Lands End. We loved the beach at Carbis Bay. Lots of dog friendly pubs close by - we loved the Watermill Couldnt recomend more highly.
Mrs Clarke April 2018

“We were given a lovely warm welcome from the owners who live close by and are on hand to help with anything but give you plenty of space and privacy.”

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and really well equipped - one of the best we have ever stayed in. We took our two little dogs who loved it here. There are plenty of dog friendly pubs close by and St Ives is only a 10 minute drive away. We couldn't recommend more highly.
