"This is a traditional cottage very close to the beach."
The owners have managed to provide all the modern conveniences whilst maintaining a “cottagy” feeling. Downstairs there are two modern bathrooms, one with bath, one with a really good shower, both with heated towel rails. Hot water is plentiful. The kitchen is well accessorised. Nice dining area by the window; cosy and comfortable sitting area with wood burning stove. There is also a handy internal room for keeping wood and bits and pieces. Two good-sized bedrooms upstairs, and great outdoor patio area on this floor. Well furnished and accessorised throughout - simple, not tacky.
You can’t park there, but the car park is close and you can drive close by to load and offload. We thought it was a good place in a good location.

"We stay at Cousham Cottage twice a year."
It is like a warm hug. You can tell that it’s a much loved property. Everything you need is there, spotlessly clean too. A few steps from the beach, pubs and and stunning views.
We really wouldn’t want to change where we stay in this part of Cornwall. The cottage couldn’t be improved upon. Two bathrooms, one has a lovely walk in shower and the other a bath, so you’re well catered for there! Beautiful, modern kitchen with all the equipment you need. The lounge diner is cosy and warm and the wood burner adds to that. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and beautiful, crisp linen. The garden is so pretty and a wonderful place to sit and chill.
Although there isn’t a parking space, this is not an issue in the slightest. You can park very close by to unpack your car and the car park is just a short stroll away. We paid £39 to park for the week (via an app), which I think is very reasonable.
The housekeeper, Liz, is just a star. She ensures we have a marvellous stay every time. The cottage is always in top notch order whenever we’ve stayed. What more can I say? It’s perfect!

"We really enjoyed our stay."
Our only comments meant entirely constructively is we felt the initial supply of logs was poor and the lounge needed the fire to be comfortable, and that when paying for a week a greater supply of loo roll should be provided. We let a cottage on airbnb where we supply all loo roll and two large baskets of logs.
We love the cottage and had a great time so just minor points for consideration

"Cousham Cottage is where we stay twice a year."
It's absolutely perfect. Quirky, homely and really well loved. Every comfort you could want. It is always spotless and this goes for the towels and bedding too.
Liz, who looks after the cottage, is a star.
I can't recommend it highly enough. Seconds from the sea too.
The car park is 2 minutes walk away and very reasonably priced. When you arrive however, you can park very close to the front door to unload your vehicle.
There is a lovely patio area if you want to sit outside, reached by going upstairs! So pretty and there is a partial sea view.
It's our piece of heaven for a week.

"Cousham Cottage is a delight."
It has a super location in a very quiet street but only a few steps to the beach, and is a quirky but very well laid-out old cottage. The only minor drawback is that it is a typical old cottage with low ceilings and doorways, so you need to mind your head! It was beautifully clean and well equipped, and plenty of space for four people.

"The cottage oozes character and history and has been generally well modernised."
The owners had generously provided more kitchen items than we were expecting, very helpful. The new bathroom with walk in rain shower was wonderful.
A couple of niggles: the bathroom was not completely clean. We did not need to use the front bathroom, however, no water came out of the hot tap, so we could have had issues.
The cottage instruction pack needs updating by the owner. A car parking pass is no longer provided but we spent a lot of time looking for one, as referred to in the instructions. The local councils have changed their practice and require a registration number to be entered on parking passes. This would be a valuable benefit as guests are required to use the village car park apart from loading and unloading. It would not be too difficult for the owner and Sykes to require future bookers to provide their car registration numbers in advance so that the owner/housekeeper could purchase a permit and have it waiting in the cottage. The cottage in Devon we had booked for the week prior offered this benefit which we appreciated. Otherwise, Sykes should make it very clear in the Cousham cottage advertising that bookers would benefit from ordering a weekly pass in advance from the local council.
Finally, the spiral staircase required extra care to negotiate, especially when descending.
Apart from these niggles, we enjoyed the cottage and particularly the roof terrace at wine o'clock, very much indeed.

"Beautiful cottage, perfectly situated in the heart of the village with great access to beaches, pubs and a few local shops."
Great that the cottage is dog friendly, as is the nearby beach in Kingsand and wonderful coastal walks and the grounds surrounding Mount Edgecombe. For those days you want to escape village life, a ferry connects directly to the historic Barbican in Plymouth.
The cottage itself is comfortable, well equipped and immaculately clean, with a little secluded courtyard offering some outdoor space to eat, drink and listen to the sea nearby.
We very much look forward to returning.

Very well equipped and situated in a very convenient location with a public car park nearby. The cottage is only a stone’s throw from the beach and there are other beaches nearby. If you like walking you have come to the right place as there are plenty of scenic walks close by. A glimpse of the sea can be seen from the little garden. There are a few pubs in Cawsand and nearby Kingsand which all serve good food

"Cottage is lovely and has everything that we required."
We have stayed several times, being honest I would say that there are a few things that need looking into. Lots of chipped mugs and glasses, the kitchen tap that falls apart and the side gate which has a dodgy lock (these were a problem last year too!).
However, these are minor things that did not spoil the experience. A lovely place and we would come back again. ***Owner response***I’m glad you found the cottage lovely. We always try to address everything that comes up immediately. We have replaced all the chip mugs and the tap, which has a moving part can become loose on occasion. will be fixed. We are aware the gate can be affected by the weather and can get a bit stiff. We plan to replace this in the Autumn. I’m sorry if this was an inconvenience to you and we look forward to seeing you again.

"Cousham was a very well stocked cottage with plenty of clean crockery and cutlery and a very effective dishwasher which is an essential in a holiday home in my opinion."
The flowers and tea tray were a lovely welcome.The whole place had a very good atmosphere and I will be rebooking.
The one disadvantage was that both bathrooms were downstairs and the stairs need care when using but all the other advantages and proximity to the beach far outweigh this disadvantage.

Fab property in brilliant position, really comfortably and stylishly furnished, spotlessly clean - as always in our experience with HH.
Lounge appeared much bigger in website photos than it actually was, but we enjoyed its cosiness, it wasn't a problem at all.
Only slightly critical comment is that I feel it is misleading and inaccurate to say that heating is included, when we actually needed the wood burner to be warm, and yet only a small quantity of logs, sufficient for one evening, were provided.
