  • "Cosy, warm and comfortable."

    Very nicely decorated, enjoyed having a cosy fabric sofa in addition to a leather one which can be chilly. Great secure garden for our dog, plus gated drive. The bedding smelt fresh without any overpowering fragrances. Great communication from host, we appreciated the offer of an early check-in.

    Thank you Gina for the helpful feedback and the positive comments about the bedlinen which is from a high end company, and the cottage in general, Warm wishes, Denise Property Owner

  • "Kilden Cottage is an absolutely gorgeous holiday home, ideally located close to the centre of Helston and very near a large supermarket."

    The cottage is well maintained and very comfortable with lots of nice touches that make it very welcoming. The cottage was very clean, with high quality linens and kitchen equipment. The garden catches lots of sun (if you’re lucky with weather as we were), and is secure for dogs which was very welcome. We had a fabulous week and wished we were staying longer. Will definitely book this cottage again.

    Thank you so much for your comments and equally for being such considerate guests. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Kilden cottage."

    The property was exceptionally clean and we were very comfortable. From the tasteful decor to the cosy log burners and the very, very comfortable beds we could not have found a more perfect base for our holiday. Ideally located for visiting our favourite coves on the Lizard peninsula, Porthleven and and Praa sands. Mousehole, Newlyn and Marazion are also within easy reach as is our other must-visit town of Falmouth. We had plenty of space in the cottage and everything we needed for the times we decided to cook ( there are also plenty of amazing places to eat out - our personal favourites are Poldhu beach cafe, The Twisted Currant in Porthleven and Wavecrest cafe on The Lizard). We definitely look forward to a return visit in the summer months where we will take full advantage of the wonderful outdoor space. Another massive bonus for us was ease of access and parking - no tight country lanes to navigate! Thank you Denise and Roy for such a friendly welcome and for providing such a first class holiday home. This really has been one of the best we have stayed in (& we’ve been visiting Cornwall for many, many years!)

    We are so utterly delighted with your feedback and the comprehensive detail you have provided . You were the perfect guests and thank you once more, Denise and Roy Property Owner

    It is very convenient for local shops and ammenities and close to all of the local attractions and beaches. The garden is the most secure I have seen - my dogs were safe and I was able to relax knowing they were safe. This is a lovely quiet detached house that is a home from home. We will definately return. Thank you for having us.

    It was in a good location - the perfect base to explore stunning Cornwall. And it was a lovely place to chill out of an evening. The cottage was very well equipped, and had everything we needed for our week stay. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, and messaged a few times to check if we needed anything and to wish us a safe journey. We all loved our week in Kilden, especially my 4 year old who didn't want to leave. And we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

  • "This was our second holiday at Kilden Cottage & we noticed numerous improvements the moment we walked in."

    The new owners have made the cottage even more comfortable than before, with everything you could possibly need, a real home from home. The location is perfectly situated to explore Cornwall, with lots of amenities near by. The enclosed garden is perfectly safe for dogs & children. If we were asked to be picky and point out a negative it would be the traffic noise from the busy main road but, taking into consideration all the positives this cottage has to offer, this a small compromise. We would definitely recommend this cottage as a fabulous place to stay.

    Really appreciate your review and so pleased you had a lovely break. You were great guests ! Property Owner
