December 2020

“Holly Cottage was very comfortable, snug and warm, perfect for a December break.”

It was well equipped and the cottage is incredibly well positioned to visit all that Cornwall has to offer.

It was well equipped and the cottage is incredibly well positioned to visit all that Cornwall has to offer. Not for publication remarks. Some of the kitchen cupboards are in a bit of a pickle, and need to be re-organised, the freezer needs defrosting but I left a message to that effect with the cleaner and the oven could do with a little attention; there was a burning smell from deposits when I used the oven. Personally I would like a hairdryer to be provided.

“There was no information regarding recycling facilities / containers etc other than the weekly collection day.”

It would have been useful to have a list of useful local emergancy contact numbers ( doctors, dentist, hospitals etc ). There seems to be an odour coming from the downstairs toilet with a possible leak onto the path at the front of the cottage.

Mrs Harman August 2019

“We have just arrived home after an amazing week in Holly cottage.”

It was peaceful, relaxing and a perfect location to explore Cornwall. The cottage was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We will definitely be booking to go back to Holly Cottage!

Mrs Shepherd June 2019

“Comfortable cottage with everything catered for,well equipped and everything of top quality no expense had been spared.”

Plenty of towels and bed linen.Ideally situated for touring Cornwall but also quiet for a nice relaxing holiday.Would definitely return in the future.

- Mrs Shepherd, June 2019
Mrs Fisher June 2019

“Holly Cottage was a lovely home from home experience.”

It is comfortably and tastefully furnished with everything you could possibly need. It is an ideal base for visiting anywhere in Cornwall or just popping to Perranporth for the day. There is a Londis and the Red Inn a short walk away. Only small issue is outside space not as in photos but having said that weather meant we wouldn't have used it anyway.

We had a very good stay there was a problem with the water that we were unable to drink as it was contaminated with oil we were told about it by the owners and water was given to drink which we found very good and not a problem Had to wait in one morning for water board in and there was people doing tests in the garden But it wasn't a problem We still had a great holiday We would use you again Thanks

“Lovely cottage”

This cottage was an absolute find. One of the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.Lovely and cosy interior and everything you would ever need (and more).Well equipped with dishwasher and washing machine. Quiet position in a cul de sac with 6 other cottages. Well placed for visiting surrounding area. Definitely to be recommended.

“Lovely cottage equipped with everything you would need.”

Great location for exploring the area.

Mrs Warnrt June 2018

“The cottage was beautifully furnished and very clean - very well stocked with crockery etc.”

We were disappointed on our arrival after a 7 hour journey to find toilet paper was not provided in both toilets (1 roll provided in 1 toilet) and there was no hand wash or soap. Plenty of towels were available- but we had to search for them. I was also disappointed that there was no folder offering information about places to visit / eat / highly recommended local attractions etc - something we usually use to find our way around new destinations. These few points were minor initial disappointments on our arrival at the cottage which could easily be rectified and I only mention them because the cottage was so lovely & I’m sure the owner would want to know as their attention to detail was so thorough in every other aspect. We had a wonderful holiday - thank you

- Mrs Warnrt, June 2018
Mrs McMahon May 2018

“Holly Cottage was absolutely delightful.”

Beautifully set out with all the amenities that you would need. A lovely atmosphere and a real homely feeling. Well situated to explore Cornwall. The caretaker Jo is on hand if you require anything and is very attentive, warm and friendly. Nicky the owner is pleasant and really accommodating. We will definitely return to this wonderful cottage - five star accommodation x Jean & Ian Scotland.

- Mrs McMahon, May 2018
Dr Gidney March 2018

“A really comfortable cottage with everything you need supplied.”

Good location for visiting the sights.

- Dr Gidney, March 2018
Mrs Garrick February 2018

“Very impressed with the cottage.”

Everything thought of with perhaps the exception of a hair dryer...A real home from home. Great location for exploring the whole of Cornwall. Would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Garrick, February 2018
Mrs Locke June 2017

“A very comfortable and well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly need.”

Quiet secluded location with shop and pub 5 minutes walk away. Good road links from Goonhavern to all parts of Cornwall. What more could you need. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Locke, June 2017
Mrs Hoffman April 2017

“The cottage was beautiful.”

We always stay in a cottage when we go away and Holly Cottage was up there with one of the best we have stayed in. It is lovely to see that the owners appreciate that holiday makers like a few luxuries and home comforts when staying in such accommodation, not all owners do this. My husband doesn't like staying in hotels so we like to feel we have been pampered a little in the cottages we stay in and Holly Cottage certainly did this. It had everything you could want.

- Mrs Hoffman, April 2017
Mrs Shepherd April 2017

“We had a lovely week in Holly Cottage, it had everything we needed and was a great base to explore Cornwall.”

- Mrs Shepherd, April 2017
Mrs Siebke April 2017

“Perfect stay for a week, lovely and warm house.”

It could not be better, we will come back

- Mrs Siebke, April 2017
Mrs Eustace March 2017

“Although it rained all week, the cottage was so comfortable it made all the difference to our break away.”

The furnishing was far better than other cottages we have booked.

- Mrs Eustace, March 2017
Mrs Cheesman March 2017

“As we were not on holiday but had to visit Cornwall to see a sick relative the excellent comfort and facilities of Holly Cottage were a big bonus .”

We have stayed in many holiday homes but never had any thing as good as Holly Cottage .If we have to come back we would certainly book this property.

- Mrs Cheesman, March 2017

Lovely cottage if you need to get away from it all, this is perfect, cosy warm nights in front of the fire after some amazing coastal walks

- Mr Soffe, October 2016
Miss Skelton October 2016

“Every need you could possibly have was met.”

The cottage was absolutely spectacular - we didn't want to leave! Furnished to an extremely high standard and so cosy and welcoming at the same time. We loved it and will definitely be back. Location was ideal. Just perfect - cannot praise it enough!

- Miss Skelton, October 2016
Mrs Burwell August 2016

“The cottage itself was very nice indeed, surpassing the photos, and being on the end of the row, we had use of a large lawn which isn't shown on the photos.”

It was in a quiet, private and attractive setting, and very convenient for touring everywhere in Cornwall. As we mainly had good weather we were able to visit east, south-west south and north-west coastal areas without too much trouble with traffic. Literally the only thing missing was a curtain for the children's bedroom but we improvised and it was fine. Very pleased indeed.

- Mrs Burwell, August 2016
Mr Dudfield July 2016

“This is a fantastic holiday house.”

We could not fault it. In particular it was all newly decorated and furnished, spacious and in a quiet location. We would highly recommend.

- Mr Dudfield, July 2016
Dr Robertson June 2016

“Having a very comfortable cottage as a base to make day trips from was ideal and enabled us to cover a lot more ground each day.”

Cornwall was spectacular and we managed to see a fair bit of it.

About the location

GOONHAVERN

Perranporth 2 miles; Newquay 6 miles; Truro 9 miles.

Goonhavern is a small Cornish village in an excellent position just two and a half miles inland from Perranporth, which lies in the heart of Poldark country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham, who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Goonhavern is an active community with a traditional inn, village shop, garden centre and children’s playground. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of their rich heritage including abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The nearby town of Perranporth has a beautiful sandy beach which at low tide stretches to three miles long and is overlooked by craggy rocks suitable for rock pooling. The beach is lifeguarded in summer, providing a popular family destination and hosted the 2016 British National Surfing Championships. Perranporth also offers a small selection of shops, restaurants and pubs including The Watering Hole, a unique pub situated on the sand in the middle of the beach offering live entertainment with a great atmosphere, good food and an amazing view of the sunset! The local Blue Hills museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the rich heritage of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. For a greater selection of nightlife, restaurants and attractions why not head for Truro (9 miles) or the coastal resort of Newquay (6 miles)? Newquay is famed for its world-class surfing and has something for every taste and age including the popular Zoo, Waterworld indoor pool and the Blue Reef Aquarium. A perfect holiday base with activities to suit everyone.
