• "Very neat and comfortable cottage."

  Very well located for the surrounding attractions and the private water access was a nice addition. Unfortunately the weather for us was not good but nonetheless we really enjoyed our stay.

  Thanks for enthusiastic comments. The weather organiser had obviously not read the last page of the contract- we will put this into the next review!! However the grass was still green unlike the brown scrub that can occur Property Owner

  So peaceful with great views of the river with a private quay. Great for boating & canoeing. Good food at the local pub just a half hour stroll up the road by the river. A good base for exploring South Cornwall further by car.

  3rd time still lucky!! Look forward to your next visit. At local pub could have been served by our young granddaughter earning her keep after school- what goes around..........!! Property Owner

  A great location with easy access to the North coast, Truro, Falmouth and National Trust gardens. Flowers and cream tea were a lovely welcome. We enjoyed sitting outside with the wonderful views of Restronguet creek (albeit with coats on) and the cold water swimmer of our party only had a few steps to reach the water at high tide. Superb.

  Pleased to see you again. Property Owner

  Right by the River with three outside spaces where you can sit and admire the views. We had two dogs with us so really appreciated that two of the spaces were secure for them. Very well equipped cottage, with everything you could need. Comfortable beds and sofas, and nice to have the wood burner in Winter as well as the central heating. Good communication from the owner, thankyou for a lovely stay!

• "Lovely cottage and a very welcome cream tea waiting for us when we arrived."

  Great little touches like milk, teabags, coffee & sugar being provided to at least get you through the first couple of days. There’s a Spar 5 mins drive to stock up if needed. Mainly pubs nearby to eat in, restaurants further afield. Takeaways not delivered to the cottage. My recommendation would be to take wetsuits, paddle boards & kayaks if you enjoy water sports and want to make the most of being positioned so near to the water. It does get quite busy just outside the front garden with families enjoying their water sports. Overall a lovely cottage with lots of space and well equipped. The owners have taken great care in providing lots of information on places to see and things to do which was really helpful.

  Pleased that a good time was had by all- including seniors joining in with the quay jumping at high tide. Adjacent quay area is a locals secret who come and go with the water leaving it to the wading birds, bird watchers, and dogs and small boys testing the softer creek areas-when the garden tap can come in useful!!

  The cottage is beautiful and presented superbly throughout. The setting is tranquil and peaceful. Try not to fall over the bed or walk into a wall when you turn the lights out at night. The journey from Kent is the only reason why I will not visit the property on a regular basis, but I will certainly return soon. SUBLIME!

• "The owner was excellent with communication and flexibility changing dates & agreeing to add family members to the group at short notice."

  The listing would benefit from explaining that there is little privacy in the front garden during high tide daylight hours as the quayside is a hive of activity. We decided not to bring our two dogs and we’re very glad as it was a dig busy area so there would’ve been a lot of extra barking. The upstairs bedroom was very comfortable and well appointed however the ground floor bedrooms have a musty, damp smell despite leaving windows open as requested. The mattresses are also rather tired, as also the fabric of the living room sofas and armchair. They seemed to take up a lot of space and one was very uncomfortable so I used the bedroom upstairs to sit in. This didn’t detract too much from our stay as the weather was so good whilst the views and waterside options are the location’s strongest point. It was a heatwave that week but the property would benefit from more than the one small cooling fan. For these reasons I feel that the property is a little over-priced and wouldn’t accommodate six adults comfortably. We were only three adults so it was adequate. The paintings were lovely and the views fabulous.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback: your comments have been noted. The owners are in touch with guests during their holiday and would have been happy to help with any issues. Regatta Cottage is set in a glorious location so locals do enjoy the surrounding area too: there are two other separate garden areas for guests to use if they require greater privacy. It is worth mentioning that this property has been successfully welcoming up to six guests on each booking for the past 20 years. We hope you'll join many others who are regular visitors to Regatta Cottage. Property Owner

• "From the description I expected a peaceful location with easy access to a creek side footpath."

  Instead, whenever the tide was in, there were large numbers of people just outside the cottage launching boats, jumping into the river and generally making a lot of noise and disturbance. Most of the creek side walk is on narrow roads rather than a footpath. With the level of traffic and visitors parked all along it made for uncomfortable walking. I was also extremely surprised to be told I had to take any recycling away from the cottage! Other houses had bins that were collected and I don’t think it is reasonable to expect people on holiday to be driving around finding recycling points for the small amount of plastic and cardboard they will generate in a week.

  Fantastic access to the estuary if you have a kayak or paddleboard. We used the large public space to our full advantage of late evening ball games.

  Delightful location, easy walking and friendly locals. We booked this cottage just five days before arrival as a chill out, rest and convalescent break and it filled all of our requirements. It was a pleasant surprise to find a holiday let that sleeps six which actually has comfortable seating and dining space for six. Also plenty of outdoor furniture in all areas, so there was no need to move it around. Lovely spacious bathrooms too. Would we recommend? Definately! Would we consider going back? Yes! We had a minor problem whilst staying at Regatta Cottage which was referred to the caretaker and then sorted by the owner within a matter of hours of making contact. Much appreciated! Thank you.

  This is the 3rd time we have booked this gorgeous cottage through them and every time has been easy and efficient and any queries answered in a professional and courteous way. Regatta Cottage is a lovely holiday house to spend the week (or more) at. We love waking up to the stunning views of the creek and it is so well positioned to visit most places. We had snow while we were there, which is a first for us, but it really added to the holiday. The cottage was very warm and comfy and we had several log fires. It is a very well equipped house with everything you should need, even down to a box of doggy toys!! Our 2 dogs loved their time here with us as there are so many places to walk and beaches to go on. Thank you Helpful Holidays for yet another super week in Cornwall
