• "It’s a lovely, cosy little house that’s perfect for a couple to getaway for a few days."

  It’s nicely decorated, clean, and well equipped. This was the second time we’d stayed there and we’d have no hesitation going back.

  Dear Alison, It was lovely to welcome you back. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Little Pippin is situated at the bottom of a very quiet lane and is tastefully appointed."

  The owners, who live next door, are unintrusive but very helpful should you need them. The accessable garden is lovely and the holiday cottage is a spotlessly clean, comfortable and modern. There is a train line that runs close to the property but the trains which pass a few times an hour, move quickly and were not a problem. There are many beautiful small towns and great cliff walks close by as well as large supermarkets. We will definitely return.

  Thank you for your lovely review and for leaving Little Pippin spotlessly clean on departure. Property Owner

  Well appointed and so quiet too. The owners were on hand for any questions but equally left us alone to enjoy our stay. Such a great place !

• "Little Pippin is a granny annexe attached to the owner's main home in Carlyon."

  It is a short walk into Charlestown and was ideally situated for travel to Mevagissey, Fowey and Truro area. We thought the property was beautifully appointed, very modern and had all the equipment we required. The owner was even kind enough to leave us a pint of milk so we could have a drink after our very long journey. Do remember to bring your own dishwasher tablets and soap powder as these are not provided but otherwise there is plenty of cleaning equipment. I would suggest a couple of improvements such as a bedside table and lamp for each person and the double bed could be swapped for a king size for more comfort. We found ourselves getting rather hot as we were squeezed together. Although the property is advertised as not dog-friendly it is important to note that the owner's rather noisy dogs do share your patio area.

• "Excellent property and location."

  Ideal for travelling round Cornwall. Just needs more local takeaways and restaurants.

  Hi Teresa, Thank you for your review. We are sorry you did not find local takeaways and restaurants as there are over 20 within 1.5 miles of the property. We hope not finding these places distracted you from enjoying your stay. Property Owner

• "Had a very enjoyable stay at Little Pippin."

  Beautiful cottage, modern and very clean. Ideally located for Carlyon Bay, Charlestown and South East Cornwall. Owners very friendly but not intrusive. Feel it would benefit a larger bed which the beautiful bedroom could easily accommodate. Would also appreciate if basic beverages had been provided rather than having to go out to purchase after a long journey to Cornwall.

  Dear Sarah, Thank you for your kind words. We are planning on changing the bed. We decided to remove basic beverages due to complaints that we didn’t accommodate certain dietary requirements. Property Owner

• "Absolutely delighted with "Little Pippin" it was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in, immaculately presented and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week self-catering."

  The quiet location was superb with easy access to coast path and beaches for great walks and a short drive away from many attractions. Due to an injury and inclement weather we were unable to do the area justice, so will definitely be returning! Many thanks for the opportunity to stay in this lovely property.

• "Lovely little quiet property that’s ideal for two people."

  Comfy sofa, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bed. The house is in a convenient location for Carlyon Bay, Charlestown, and St Austell, and a short drive to Truro. Purely suggestions, but an extra hand/hair towel or two in the main bathroom would be good and maybe a label for the semi-hidden cutlery drawer. We spent a hilarious 5 minutes not being able to find it! Would definitely stay again.

  Thank you for your feedback. We hope you stay again. Property Owner

• "Little Pippin was perfect in almost all respects."

  Despite proximity to the railway line it was peaceful and quiet. The bed was a little on the small side (for my wife and i) but adequately comfortable. A few tea bags, some instant coffee and a drop of milk would have been appreciated after our horrendous rainy journey down. A very comfortable stay, very much recommended!

  Thank you for your feedback. We plan to put a king size bed in after this season. Property Owner

• "My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Pippin."

  The house itself was extremely clean and modern. Its location was perfect for our daily adventures, we could easily and quickly visit hop in the car and travel to any of the nearby towns. The only thing we thought could be improved was the WiFi signal. It was usually strong downstairs but we found it inconsistent upstairs. Other than this minor inconvenience we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return in the future / recommend Little Pippin to our friends.

  Thank you for your review and feedback. We will review the Wi-Fi situation. Property Owner

• "Little Pippin was simply perfect."

  Immaculate inside and out, spotlessly clean, and with a luxurious design, I can honestly say I have never holidayed anywhere as wonderful as this. I've stayed in many self catering holiday apartments/chalets/lodges, but Little Pippin is head and shoulders above any of them. Things I loved : ALL of it !!! But specifically, the warm and genuine welcome from the owners and Reggie the dog; the glorious peaceful and light filled bedroom with its delicious linens and decadent bathroom; the well equipped and practical open plan kitchen and lounge; the access to the garden for a peaceful sunny read with a cuppa or a glass of vino - and the designated parking space right outside the front door. I'll say it again - perfect ! Ideally located for some lovely walks to Charlestown - which is stunning - and Carylon Bay and on to Par, both of which have glorious beaches just perfect for beach combing. The Eden Project is just up the road, and whilst pricey, is worth a visit just to marvel over the sheer audacity of what has been achieved. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is 20 minutes away by car and is a definite must see - a great way to spend a day. And Lanhydrock National Trust is also beautiful. And the return to Little Pippin after a day out was the icing on the cake ! Thankyou for a wonderful stay - I will be back !
