  • "This is our second trip to Culdrose manor."

    We love the space and comfort that it offers (the beds are super comfy). David is always at the end of a phone if we have any issues and is so friendly and offers great local advice for places to visit or events that happen to be on. The house has been cleaned to a high standard by Daiga and Normunds and the little touches of fresh flowers and the prosecco cream tea on arrival is much appreciated. We will definitely be back - for Christmas next time!!! Thank you for a fabulous stay once again.

  • "Had a lovely family holiday at Culdrose."

    What a fabulous large house with plenty of room for everyone. The personal touches of wine, flowers and contents for cream teas added to it. We were very lucky with the weather apart from one day. My only ask would be another clothes airer as one isn't enough. Thanks to David for keeping in touch.

  • "Culdrose Manor is an excellent property easily accommodating the ten of us for the week."

    It was clean and well equipped and we had a very comfortable and private stay. The large lawned area was great for games, the patio area has a table tennis table and BBQ, and with Flambards on the door step the kids loved it. The welcome pack was much appreciated and it was complete with week long passes for Flambards. The communication with David was first class. The noise from RNAS Culdrose can at times be a little intruding but given that it is an operational air base and we knew that before we booked it isn't a complaint but a comment for those planning to book that may not be aware. I highly recommend Culdrose Manor and would happily stay there again.

    Thanks so much for your review and so pleased you had a nice stay Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved our stay at Culdrose Manor."

    It's in a great spot close to the Lizard Peninsula and Penzance and all the beautiful beaches along the way. We also enjoyed the free passes to Flambards Theme Park! Correspondence from David was friendly and timely - we were given the door code in good time and when we made an enquiry he responded immediately. Upon our arrival the house was spotless, much credit to Daiga, Normund and David, thank you. And we really appreciated the goodies left out for our arrival. We really felt at home in the Manor, and even when some of our party had to leave early due to work commitments it was still homely and cosy despite the size of the place. You can see this from the photographs but we can confirm that the rooms are sumptuous and plentiful. In addition to the spacious bedrooms there is a comfortable lounge large enough for the whole party of 10, a dining room with seating for the whole party plus a few extra chairs, outside dining area with further seating for the whole party, a TV room that proved invaluable when the kids wanted to play games or the adults wanted respite from the tennis/football, AND a games room/bar area. The kitchen was large enough to for half the party to lounge around in pjs in the morning and included all the necessary cooking facilities, kitchen utensils and tableware, a large fridge-freezer, 2 dishwashers, all cosily warmed by the Aga. In case this wasn't enough there are two large entrance hallways with seating, a spacious hallway area outside the family rooms, beautifully kept flowerbeds at the back of the house surrounding sufficient parking for at least 6 cars, and an enormous and equally beautifully kept front garden including barbecue, dining and table-tennis. We will definitely return here should the occasion arise.

  • "An amazing property, couldn’t fault it and definitely exceeded our expectations."

    Making the booking was easy and communication was good from booking to arrival. We had a direct contact number for Dave, who oversees the property, should we have needed any assistance during our stay. We met Dave and his team on our departure day which was lovely. They were friendly and clearly work hard to make everyone’s stay at culdrose manor a fabulous experience. We range from age 4 months up to 75 years and this property worked for everyone, including the teenagers, which is a rarity when seeking larger properties. Such a well equipped house. The welcome pack we received was above and beyond and the fresh flowers were beautiful. We came to Cornwall and chose this property as it was close to some of our family who live in Helston. We are a large family from Scotland, and some of our family now live in Australia and were visiting. The space in the property allowed us to all be together and enjoy quality family time. It was really relaxing and fun. We all had an amazing time. Being so close to Flambards was such a bonus and everyone enjoyed visiting the park which had something for everyone. We would definitely love to return to Culdrose Manor again in the future.

    Kitchen was Garden is large, plenty of parking. Not suitable for anybody with a disability and stone steps can make it a little concerning for little ones. However this is an old property. The beds are super comfy and endorsed by all my family. Always a bonus when on holiday. It’s situated by RNAS Culdrose and there was a lot of aerial activity late evening which was quite loud. Bring ear plugs If you are a poor sleeper ! We had a great week at this property and hope to return another year.

The weather wasn't the best, but the very comfortable accommodation and facilities more than made up for it. The complimentary tickets to Flambards was much appreciated. The bar was really great, and a game of darts was enjoyed each evening. The welcome pack of tea, coffee, scones, jam, cream and not forgetting the Prosecco was fabulous and enjoyed by all. Many thanks to Richard and David for their help in making our holiday a great success. We would love to go back soon. Lindy

  • "We had an amazing holiday."

    We had no issues whatsoever. David was brilliant and made sure everything was perfect. It was a shame we didn’t get to meet him, as we left early to avoid Saturday traffic. (We are south wales) On arrival, everything we needed was already there, which was a lovely touch; Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, tea towels. And the best bit….scones, jam, cream and Prosecco! The house really was lovely, it was immaculate. The beds were very comfortable and with crisp, white linen. It was airy and spacious and served us with everything we needed as a group of 5 adults with additional needs and 3 staff. It honestly didn’t feel like a working holiday. Location was perfect. We did everything we aimed to do and the guys loved the free tickets to Flambards theme park next door! Another lovely gesture, thankyou David. Overall, I would highly recommend this beautiful manor. It really was perfect. And David, he is a credit to the place. Thankyou xx

Well equipped and I can’t think of anything that we would have needed, that they didn’t have. We used the Flambards passes on two days and the kids loved it.

David was on hand for any questions and he dealt with all arrival and leaving instructions in a timely manner and was really nice to talk to. We met the cleaning team as we left and they were also very nice. We will be back ! A glowing review for a very lovely house and gardens. The kids also loved the table tennis and games room.

  • "This house is amazing."

    Top quality everything and really clean. Being November we couldn’t use the outside but the garden looks lovely. The house itself is enormous and we made lots of use of the two long dining tables for playing board games. We stocked the bar at the beginning of the week and used all the big pans to make one pot meals. The dishwasher was well used. The master bedroom is huge with a big en suite including a bath and a walk in shower. The house is fairly close to the runway of Culdrose and we could watch the planes taking off. Also we were right next door to Flambards, unfortunately it was closed for the year. Sainsburys is a short walk or a car ride away. We would love to stay again but we missed our dogs (they aren’t allowed there) so we will probably find somewhere else next time.

  • "No shower mats in accommodation so very slippy and dangerous, had to buy plug in air fresheners as the house had a damp smell."

    We had mixed weather so some days we had to stay in or come back early, the wifi was constantly not working and because the only two television in the house completely only work off WIFI , we found ourselves with no tv also. Advertises a 7 day free pass to the park which really only equated to one as the rides are only operated on a wednesday or weekend, so arriving on Saturday meant we only got to go on the Wednesday. We also had issues with the dishwasher and first day had to empty everything and re wash by hand. An engineer was sent but they already knew about the problem from the previous guests but did not mention it to us. Overall lovely accommodation, Dave was always on hand to help, negatives Kitchen is to small to accommodate full capacity, should have tv in the bedrooms and all should be linked to an actual aerial or router. Great position to drive to most places and if the weather had been better we may have stayed longer, but left day early as without wifi and tv my 4 year old and 18 year old were very bored just sat in a house.

    Thank you for your feedback. Shower mats are placed in the property on Saturday at changeover. We are sorry if these were missed. The WiFi was a BT cable issue and affected the surrounding area for several weeks and was unfortunately out of our control. The property is 350 years old and has never been damp proofed, but we are looking into putting a log/wood burner in to dry out the property. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner

    Everything you needed was provided and everything was to an exceptionally high standard. The property was completely refurnished last year and it shows. Virtually every fixture, fitting, appliance and utensil is brand new. The living room is comfortable and cosy, the kitchen is a lovely space, the bedrooms extremely comfortable, and the garden lovely and large. The bar area is a haven to relax in and the separate tv room a real plus when wanting to watch different things. Having 7 day passes for Flambards was a real plus and the property is very well situated to explore what Cornwall has to offer being in easy reach of places such as St. Ives, Lands End, and the lovely pretty harbour town of Porthleven which is just down the road. Highly recommended, we'll look to return.

    My partner is a qualified heating engineer and was concerned that one of the men who came wasn't qualified to do what he was doing in relation to the boilers. The 3rd person who came was a qualified heating engineer and semi resolved the heating issue (not able to have a constant temperature) but not the hot water.

    Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you felt our property failed to meet your expectations . We take all feedback seriously and where we can improve as a result we will do so. We were made aware there was a problem with the heating (Sunday)and we immediately had someone check the property within hours of being notified .It became apparent that this was the failure of a wifi thermostat and as a result a qualified plumber was called who attended Sunday evening and fixed the heating , bypassing the wifi, with control of temperature by the thermostats on individual radiators, rather than the generic house thermostat. It is our policy that all visitors to the property should wear masks and I can only apologise that on this occasion our external contractors appear to have failed to do so . I do not believe we were notified of any malfunction with the TV in the sitting room and it seems to be working correctly. I can only wonder if it was a temporary wifi failure issue . I am pleased that your assessment of our property was exemplary in both cleanliness and comfort Kind regards Culdrose Manor Property Owner

Step into this superb dwelling, where you will find a convenient utility room, boasting a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as plenty of storage space to keep your walking shoes and raincoats.

From here, enter into the kitchen, where a traditional AGA takes centre stage before all of the quality appliances arranged in a contemporary assortment, ensuring that you can cater your own delicious meals for the duration of your stay.

Your home-cooked meals can be enjoyed within the formal dining room, large enough to host everyone together to delight in a wonderful dish and pop open a bottle of something to toast to a wonderful holiday in Cornwall.

Relax into your evening within the sitting room, containing a warming electric woodburning-effect stove, creating a great space for getting lost within a good book or grab some snacks and get cosy within the cinema room, as you enjoy the magic of film.

Alternatively, head into the bar to pour yourself a well-deserved beverage, and enjoy a social evening with your friends and family.

Once the evening has drawn to a close, head up one of two staircases leading to the first floor, where you will find six elegantly furnished bedrooms, designed to offer a flexible sleeping arrangement to suit the needs of your party.

The master bedroom comes with a super-king-size bed, a built-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, free-standing bath, basin and WC, there is a king-size, zip/link bedroom also with an en-suite.
