"The Summer House is a unique holiday property."
It feels like a Mediterranean holiday in the UK. Shirley and Chris are welcoming, accommodating and allow you space to enjoy your holiday in peaceful surroundings. We have enjoyed 7 years of returning for beautiful holidays at The Summer House and treasure every visit.
It was lovely to see you both for another visit and we are so pleased that you continue to enjoy your stays here. We really appreciate your lovely comments. It also gives us great joy when guests return. Thank you so much. With our very best wishes. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"We had a very comfortable stay at Summer House which is in very private location."
Everything was spotless and well maintained. Whilst is was not an issue for us, anyone with mobility issues need to be aware that as the property is on three levels with a few stairs up to the sleeping area and has a few down to the well equipped kitchen where the shower and toilet is located. The property is in an excellent for visiting the major attractions in Cornwall and guests are able to enter the adjacent Homestead gardens and under cover parking is provided.. Fully recommended and home from home.

"The Summer House is a really beautiful and comfortable place, set among gorgeous and extensive gardens, with the added bonus of a terrific Italian cafe within the gardens."
For anyone who loves gardens, beaches and pretty villages, this is a perfect place to relax and explore the surrounding areas. The very friendly owners Chris and Shirley provided everything possible to make our stay a most comfortable and enjoyable one. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was our pleasure to have you both return to the Summer House once again. We have enjoyed developing the garden and grounds over the years & to get your positive feedback, gives us the inspiration to keep improving while we are able. As well as the Italian Cafe.

"The Summer House is a wonderful property, many thanks to Shirley and Chris for allowing us to share your beautiful landscape gardens and for being the best of hosts."
An ideal, tranquil base for a lone traveller or couple to explore Cornwall. This was our sixth trip to this property and we hope to be able to return.
Thanks Tracy & Ian for the lovely feedback. It makes everything we do here, worthwhile, when we have lovely guests such as yourselves enjoying your stay here and being so appreciative of the surroundings. We sincerely hope that we will see you again. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage with fabulous gardens in an excellent location ."
Shirley and Chris were admirable hosts. We only had to mention that my wife was worried about slipping in the shower than Shirley said she would get a non-slip mat ASAP. And it was delivered within 24 hours. We could not have asked for more and, small matter that it may appear to be, it made our holiday much more comfortable and relaxed. Overall, an excellent property.
Thank you both for the lovely feedback. It was a joy to have you stay. Hope to get the opportunity to see you again some day. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"This was our second visit to the Summer House."
It is an outstanding holiday accommodation with everything you would want in a property. The gardens are amazing. The owners, Shirley and Chris are friendly and yet not intrusive. We can highly recommend this property.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. It was very much our pleasure to have you both stay here once more. We know you have made plans for next year, however, if you return to this part of Cornwall, we would love to see you again. All the best. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"We loved The Summer House."
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the design and decor. I had read the description of the gardens but was still astonished by them. We'll very likely book again.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We do so hope you get the opportunity to stay here with us again. Very best wishes. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"Just wonderful"

"We found the Summer House very cosy and warm and the cleanliness was excellent - all the things you look for with a holiday cottage."
The hosts, Shirley and Chris, were very welcoming and friendly and had set up some lovely gardens and country walks, with the big added bonus of a tea room just through the garden gate! Even though it was Winter the gardens still looked great and we can only imagine how glorious they would be in Summer. Ending on a very high note - we absolutely loved the automatic gates and would like those at home! John & Yvonne
Hello John & Yvonne. It was a delight to have you stay in our Summer House. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Would love to see you again if you visit this part of Cornwall. All the very best. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"We have had a lovely two weeks at the Summer House - a really beautiful and comfortable cottage in the middle of wonderful Cornish countryside and coast."
What made our stay even more special were the fantastic extensive gardens right outside the cottage. This is the perfect place to relax as well as explore this area of Cornwall. The owners Shirley and Chris were really friendly and helpful, and we have already booked to return next year. A perfect place.
It was a real pleasure having you stay in the Summer House. Thank you for the lovely review. We very much look forward to seeing you again next year. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location."
Very well equipped with everything you need for a stay away from home. Shirley & Chris have created a wonderful setting with their gardens full of plants sculptures and a well stocked pond to relax as you wander around. The cottage was within easy reach( short drive) of the attractions that West Cornwall has to offer , we particularly enjoyed Marazion and St Michael's Mount a very relaxed peaceful break just what we required.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. It was our pleasure having you stay here. So pleased that you enjoyed the garden, it makes all of our hard work worthwhile. All the very best to you both. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner
-
"Well appointed, very comfortable cottage in beautiful gardens."
Owners available if needed. Excellent place to stay for exploring lovely places around Cornwall. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure having you stay . We really only met with you on arrival & departure, but guess that was because you were out enjoying the beautiful surroundings Cornwall has to offer. So pleased you enjoyed your visit and maybe see you both again some day. Kind Regards. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"The Summer House is a perfect retreat for a couple holidaying in Cornwall."
Shirley and Chris have provided everything you could need for a week (or longer.) The lovely new bed was a treat. Use of the Homestead Woodland Gardens keeps us coming back for more - reading in the refurbished Garden Hideaway was so relaxing. The homegrown flowers and local cider and apple juice were very welcoming. Thank you for another outstanding holiday.
Thank you again for your lovely feedback. Always a pleasure to have you both stay here. We are so pleased that the small changes that we make are appreciated by our guests. We do hope we get the opportunity to see you both again. Keep well. Enjoy the Summer. Kind Regards Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"The Summer House was in a lovely setting with its own private garden and access to the beautiful larger gardens provided and maintained by the owners."
The descriptions on line do not do it justice. We could have just sat in the gardens for hours soaking in the tranquility and beauty . We were made to feel very welcome by the owners , Chris and Shirley, and we would say this is one of the best places we have ever stayed at, spotlessly clean with everything we needed. The cottage is well positioned for a holiday with excellent walks from Helston, and a number of tourist destinations, beaches, gardens, NT and English Heritage properties. Within a short travelling distance. A week was not really long enough to appreciate both cottage and the location Thank you
So pleased you both enjoyed your holiday, despite the Easterly wind, which was relentless that week. It was lovely having you stay, thank you for the excellent feedback. We wish you both well and we do hope you will consider staying with us again should you come back to this area. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"We had such a fabulous stay at the summer house with a very warm welcome on our arrival by Shirley & Chris."
A little piece of paradise in a wonderful setting, we enjoyed the tranquility so much we didn’t want to leave. The gardens are of an exceptional standard and considered to be one of the best private gardens in Cornwall by yours truly. An abundance of different species and lots of interesting features in the wildlife gardens & woodland area. Anyone into ornithology would be in their element as the birdsong is beautiful. Seriously do not hesitate to stay at this wonderful location as it’s so very tranquil. Lots of things to do in the surrounding areas as it’s a great base for sightseeing. Thank you Shirley & Chris for our spotlessly clean & well maintained accommodation .. looking forward to staying with you again next year. Julian & Ruth xx
So pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is so rewarding when guests enjoy their visit and appreciate the work that we have put in over the years, creating the garden & grounds. We obviously love our surroundings & with the dawn chorus & daily bird song, we cannot imagine living anywhere else. It was a delight hearing about your daily excursions. You were such a joy to have stay. We wish you both well & look very much forward to you visiting again. Thank you. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

Thank you John & Glenys. It was our pleasure having you stay, so glad you enjoyed your time here and took advantage of the garden and grounds to enjoy some peaceful reading & chill time.

"We absolutely loved staying at The Summer House hosted by Shirley and Chris."
We would heartily recommend this wonderful place to stay to any couple, young, middle aged and older. Shirley is so kind and thoughtful, nothing is too much trouble. The Summer House is so well located and you can easily reach every wonderful place of interest, tourist spot or not. Or you may simply wish to stay in the cosy warm interior if the weather is inclement. Don’t forget to walk round the beautiful gardens and woods, aptly named ‘Primrose’ there were so many. Thank you Shirley and Chris.
Thank you Lucy & Marcus for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure having you stay. Hope you will consider returning one day. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"This Cottage was delightful, well appointed and well provisioned."
The location was great for accessing all of east Cornwall being very central. The Cottage was very clean as well warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend any couple to book this you won’t be disappointed. The hosts are helpful and friendly but not intrusive a great balance.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you both. Hopefully, you will consider staying with us again should you return to this area. Happy New Year. Shirley & Chris. Property Owner

"Beautiful barn."
Very well appointed but needs updating. Our only complaint is that the tv needs updating to a smart tv in order to have more choice of programmes especially in the winter months and darker evenings. The bed was far too small and the shower quite restrictive. Other than that we had a great stay.
We are pleased that you had a great stay and it was a pleasure to meet you both. We are disappointed that you have complained about the TV. This is a SMART LED TV. Nearly every evening during your stay you rang or messaged us to say that you were unable to operate the tv. Chris called around each time you contacted us & explained or showed you how to find the channels. He also explained, that in this area, we are not always able to access all of the channels that you have access to back at your home address. There was also a manual for use in the folder. You also mention that the bed was too small! this is a standard 4'6" double bed. Due to the roof structure of the Byre and the exposed timber beams in the mezzanine, we compromised on bed size to avoid anyone tall hitting their head on the beam when getting out of the bed, however, we do think that we could get away with a 5' bed and will consider this when replacing. As for the shower, this is a standard size shower, more than adequate for one person, but understandably, should two persons want to shower at the same time, then this would be somewhat restrictive. You say the Summer House was beautiful and very well appointed but needs updating. Where or what does the updating refer to? We are disappointed that some of the above was not mentioned to us during your stay and that you felt the need to publish this rather than bring it to our attention at the time. Shirley and Chris.

"An excellent cottage."
Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and an ideal place to stay. Close to both North and South coasts. Shirley and Chris were excellent hosts both helpful and friendly.

"The Summer House is such a unique property for two, kept to high standards by Shirley and Chris."

"This was our third holiday at the beautiful Summer House."
Shirley and Chris have created an unforgettable oasis of calm at the property. The ability to step through the gate in the wall to the Pond Garden meant that every day we had another place to explore after our travels around Cornwall.

A very good place to be and you'll look forward to returning after a day out on the cliff-tops of the Lizard peninsula.

"This wonderful cottage will suit anyone wanting to get away from it all."
Despite its location adjoing the Helston/Redruth road we heard nothing of the traffic. The huge gardens are a haven of wildlife including the owners menagerie (Goose, Duck and Hen currently) and the variety of planting and native trees is amazing. Awoken by the dawn chorus set us up for exploring The Lizard Peninsula and beyond which is all on the doorstep. The owners will keep a low profile but, if you need the, they are a charming couple for whom nothing seemed too much trouble. With the whole county to choose from our next trip to Cornwall will certainly be spent here.
-
"The cottage was absolutely beautiful,spotlessly clean and a lovely retreat."
the gardens were really peaceful to walk around and the goose and the ducks were an added extra to see when you came back after a day out. Shirley and Chris were lovely hosts and we would return again at some point in the future.
-
"Beautiful cottage and gardens."
Best I’ve stopped in by far. Owners very helpful and pleasant. Cannot think of anything negative about it
-
"Our holiday home was perfectly located within their own stunning grounds and woodland."
Immaculate House, with a lovely local produce welcome pack on our arrival. Location very well suited to visit local landmarks. The Summer house was a joy to relax in both inside and out. The very friendly owners were on hand if needed and a private parking space was a welcome bonus for us. Highly recommend.
-
"Our second holiday at The Summer House exceeded our first, Shirley and Chris go out of their way to ensure that the house is welcoming and at an exceptional standard."
The local area is perfect for walking and exploring bays and harbours. We had a peaceful and relaxing holiday in a heavenly setting.
-
"We've been to quite a few cottages around the UK, but none with this much ambiance!"
The garden setting was simply stunning, peaceful and at the same time uplifting. Sipping a latte or a wine on the deck or by the fire outside, either in the day time or evening was another joy to be experienced. Thanks Chris & Shirley, your escape from the mortal world was a unique blessing for us!
-

Make no mistake this is a fantastic base from which to explore Cornwall.

"We had a perfect holiday at Summer House."
Felt at home the minute we walked trough the door for the first time. The hosts are great and the garden they created is a beautifull retreat. A one week holiday is almost too short to enjoy it all.
-
"What an amazing property to holiday in!"
Exceptional cottage - the best we have stayed in to date. The gardens are a wonderful extra and we enjoyed wandering around them immensely. Lots of things to do nearby including beaches and gardens.

"Our holiday at Summer House was by far the most comfortable and relaxing self-catering holiday we have ever booked."
Shirley and Chris have provided everything you could need, in a tranquil setting and with exceptionally high standards. The property is unique and perfect for a holiday for two. Having our own private outside space made for lovely breakfasts and evenings. Summer House is located well for exploring Cornwall and the fact we have rebooked for next year already shows how much we loved our holiday.
-
"The accommodation was perfect and set in private gardens that are available for guests was an added bonus."
-
"This cottage was by far the very best we have ever stayed in -- it was superb!"
Everything about it was just perfect … the owners Shirley & Chris were the perfect hosts. The cottage itself was out of this world -- so pretty and imaginatively styled.. full of art works and everything was quality in the best condition. The whole place could not be faulted . That is before I mention the location -- a fantastic garden setting with private sitting area -- shade if required -- a bigger garden that opens to the public was ours to explore as well -- it was just heaven ….and, best of all a fantastic tearoom although it was much more than this on site which served exquisite food. The whole place is a credit to Shirley & Chris and I am sure we will return again soon. More places like this please !

Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for its Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum. Nearby is the Poldark Mine, one of the best underground experiences in the south west and which tells of the widespread mining heritage of this area.
