"We had a fantastic stay at Zephyr."
The attention to detail throughout the house was remarkable — everything we needed was there, and every utensil you could possibly imagine was thoughtfully provided. The welcome/instruction manual was spot on: clear, concise, and genuinely helpful.
Our teenage son claimed the top floor as his go-to hangout for gaming, TV, and relaxing — he absolutely loved it. The house itself was modern, bright, impeccably clean, and beautifully laid out, with a spacious kitchen and living area that worked perfectly for our family.
Communication with the owners, especially Kristin, was excellent — friendly, responsive, and genuinely first class in terms of service and care. We’d happily come back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

THE CLEANLINESS WAS EXEPTIONAL AND WAS VERY WELL EQUIPPED WITH ALL YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED.
THERE WAS MILK TEA COFFEE AND SUGAR TO MAKE A MUCH NEEDED DRINK ON ARRIVAL, PLUS A COUPLE OF TREATS.

"Our stay over the Christmas period at Zephyr was nothing more than PERFECT."
Communication from Kristin before our stay, making sure the property was set up to our needs, was a nice touch. Upon arrival, there was a lovely welcome pack left. The extra touches in the house go above and beyond what we have stayed in before. There is nothing, and I mean nothing you could want for here. All kitchen equipment, appliances, bedding, and bathrooms are all top spec. The cleanliness far exceeded expectations. I always take cleaning bits with me, but I can honestly say the standards were impressive. We are looking forward to booking our next visit to Zephyr again!

"Fantastic property - most well equipped place we’ve ever stayed - they’ve thought of everything!"
The whole house was immaculate and the hosts very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay to explore the Lizard peninsula.
The only reason we’ve given a 4 rather than 5 for comfort is that we found the mattresses a bit hard but that’s personal preference. Everything else was 5 star. Would definitely stay again!

"A fantastic house with all you could need for a 2 week stay in this beautiful part of Cornwall and very close to plenty of beautiful beaches on the Lizard."
The house was open plan, clean, had plenty of garden space to use and more than big enough for me, my wife, her parents and our two teenage daughters with no-one feeling on top of each other. The snug upstairs was a great place for the kids to escape and was well used!
The house was well equipped and the kitchen was used most evening during our stay plus the welcome pack was very appreciated as we arrived late, thank you!
Kristin the owner was extremely helpful, and very welcoming
Well situated to visit all of the Lizard and its many beaches and coves. Helston is on the doorstep with plenty of big food shops to stock up on the essentials, Truro was only a short drive away as was Falmouth. A 40min drive and you can visit the beautiful town of St Ives or visit the beaches of Carbis Bay or Hayle.
We love this part of Cornwall and our stay was all we had hoped for and more. We look forward to staying here again sometime soon!

"The house is modern and well presented but surprisingly uncomfortable."
Ventilation is poor, eg, none in main bedroom unless you leave the patio door open, and we were glad we were not there is extremely hot weather. We felt a lack of privacy, partly because of all the glass which made it feel like a gold fish bowl, eg, in the main bedroom there is a direct sight line to the bed through the front door, but also too because the owner, while well meaning I am sure, seemed ever present with texts, etc. The house is at the end of RNAS Culdrose runway which suited us because of an interest in naval aviation but night flying and low aircraft might make it too noisy for some. Generally position brilliant for beaches, surfing and walking the Lizard.

"Over the years we've stayed in quite a few cottages, as it's our preferred way to holiday."
We have had maybe 1 or 2 places that were as good and pampering as this place, and even they didn't have the warm and caring personal touch we received feo Kristin and her partner!
First - the property: in complete contrast to the standard - the photos really don't di it justice. It's huge compared to how it looks in the photos, very spacious.
Second - level of equipment and attention to details: the place is equipped with every possible thing - some even better or more than what I have at home (example: I usually bring my own chef knifes, for example - no need here!). And lots of it, too! There's even tupperware, and meet thermometer, and whole lot of things. There was even a different color of towels for each guest (so they don't mix!). There are basic condiments in the property - and when I asked if there are other things, Kristin suggested to get all the spices I need and leave them in the cottage for us!
Third - the care. Kristin went way above and beyond anything we could expect of a host. Starting with making sure to supply extras, through seeing we had a puncture one morning and staying in to see that we sort it out. She answered each question we had with great care and knowledge and gave lots of good recommendations. Thank you so much Kristin!
And it's close to everything in South Cornwall.
This is really a rare find!
There was a tiny bit of noise one night from the nearby marine air base - a helicopter I believe; but it was quite OK.

"We had the most amazing stay at Zephyr and will definitely be returning!"
As soon as we walked into the property we felt at home! The open plan kitchen/ dining/ lounge area is massive and full of natural light. The property is so well maintained and is the cleanest house we have ever stayed in! My children adored the large lawned garden and the upstairs lounge area which they made their ‘den’ for the week- they didn’t want to leave! There are many beautiful beaches nearby. Our favourites are Gunwalloe church cove, poldhu cove and Kennack sands. We also found some new hidden gems like cadgwith harbour with the cute little seafood shop and loe bar beach in between the sea and a lake. Kynance cove was also very scenic but extremely busy….. We did have an amazing meal at Ellie’s soul food at the top of the hill though which made it worth the visit!
The kids also enjoyed a day at Flambards theme park which is only five minutes away.
We cannot wait until our next holiday to this gorgeous house in the most beautiful area! Xx
