"Evergreen was a really lovely cottage and very clean."
There were vases of wild flowers and a bottle of Prosecco to greet us which was a very nice touch. One of the double rooms had a bed that was very soft and the picture showed nothing behind the cottage when there is actually a large house, but these things did not affect our enjoyment. The area was great for walking and very quiet. We would love to return.

"A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location."
Very well equipped, made to feel very welcome indeed and had the most wonderful welcome touches of some bubbly and fresh flowers. The cottage had a lovely feel and just everything you need for a wonderful stay. As keen walkers the location was perfect for the South West coastal path, access to Penzance, Lizard, Lands End and many more gorgeous coves and coasts. Thank you very much to such communicative hosts who provided lots of invaluable information.

"A beautiful, cosy and well equipped cottage, which had everything we could have asked for, including spare dog leads, brushes and bowls!"
Situated a short walk from the sea making it ideal for scenic South West Costal Path walks and an ideal base for West Cornwall.

"We had a great week at Evergreen, as a family of four we really enjoyed ourselves."
The cottage is in a perfect location for visiting all that West Cornwall has to offer and is in a great spot for exploring the coastal path, only a few minutes walk down to the lovely cove. Brigitte was very helpful when I asked for local advice & gave us some great links of things to do in the area. The beds were a little soft for our liking, which is just our personal preference, everything else was spot on. Many thanks for a lovely holiday

"A fabulous cottage, well equipped and in a great location for accessing the coastal path, beaches or nipping across to the north coast."
The cottage is a delight to be in, beautifully furnished with comfortable beds, a light living room and a lovely garden. We've stayed in lots of cottages in Devon and Cornwall but this one was the best. AL

"One of our best holidays!"
This spacious cottage was exquisitely furnished yet homely. We were able to relax instantly. It was a joy! Comfy beds, comfy sofas, log fire, well equipped kitchen, beautiful garden, pretty outlook. The owner was lovely- great comes, most pleasant. We would return in a heartbeat if it wasn’t solidly booked!

"From the delicious homemade scones and prosecco, to the luxurious White Company pure linen bedding and the gorgeous shabby chic furnishings and arts and crafts, this cottage delighted in every way."
The kitchen, although small, was far better equipped than almost every place we have ever stayed in (and that is a lot), with a great range cooker, endless hot water and superb appliances. We stayed in October and the central heating was really efficient - already on for our arrival with logs and kindling for the fire. The house was cosy and warm with no trace of damp, and we looked forward to returning every afternoon to enjoy sharing good food and wine and playing games at the large dining table and relaxing in front of the fire. Perfect for dogs, they can enter via the back door which opens into the utility room which is spacious and warm with a hardy floor for wet and muddy hounds to dry and clean up in before enjoying the fireside! (works for muddy/sandy humans too - with shower adjoining utility!!). We could hear the sea on quiet nights and the location was peaceful and safe for pets and children. Two of our party had very successful fishing from the rocks off Rinsey Cove at high tide. It was a longer and steeper climb down to the cove than we expected, so be prepared to give yourself a workout. We really loved Evergreen and would certainly return.

"We loved our time at Evergreen and will hopefully return in the near future."
The only thing we would suggest is making the sofas in the lounge a bit higher, we found it difficult to get out of them!!

"Evergreen is the most beautiful cottage."
All of the antique French furnishings add a dash of luxury to what is already a very pretty cottage. It is also very near so many places of interest. From the cottage we went to Porthleven, Mousehole, St. Agnes, St. Ives and crossed by ferry from Falmouth to St. Mawes. We also visited the Minack Theatre.
It would be very difficult to find a better home from home than this!!

"Evergreen is a charming, cosy cottage and very well equipped."
It is within walking distance of a lovely cove with breathtaking views and Rinsey itself is very well placed for visiting the area. Three generations of my family stayed here and we all loved it and had a wonderful holiday and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

"It is a lovely cottage on a very quiet area."
Very close to the beach but not an easy walk down to it and not suitable for people with poor mobility, as are the stairs in cottage. it
i think both of these things should be mentioned. Apart from that its an amazing place to have a relaxing holiday, spotlessly clean and s lovely garden

"Beautiful, well appointed home."
Felt very cosy with small luxuries like faux fur throws, hot water bottles for each bed, plenty of deep soft pillows, and a great kitchen ( v small but everything you need is there): Le Creuset cookware, lovely crockery. The owner has a fine artistic eye and the home has wonderful pieces of furniture and pottery. Has board games, DVDs and a few books too. Not ‘on’ the coast paths but only a 3 min walk diwn a quiet path. You can see the sea from the bedrooms at the front of the house. Spectacular beaches/path. Praa Sands is a lovely long sandy beach, coast path to Porthleven is wild and rugged but easily walkable. Worth the walk for a pub lunch/fish and chips sitting on the harbour front. Space for all your walking gear and to do your washing/drying in a roomy utility area if needed.
Our dog loved it. Lovely touch: dog bowls, poo bags and dog chews provided.
Sitting room has a log fire too. We would definitely recommend this house. Only one negative that you can’t do anything about: relatively low ceiling in sitting room for my husband but he’s 6ft 3....we all loved the house though!

"My family had a totally BRILLIANT week in Evergreen."
..... it was beautiful, comfortable, with all mod cons, everything we could need indoors, and out......even an indoor grapevine dripping grapes !
It was cosy inside for quiet times, and fun to hold a party outside in the garden with great barbecue equipment.
We also appreciated the Welcome on the table of homemade cakes and a bottle of Bubbly !
And of course Rinsey is a great location for a holiday, right on the Coastal Path, and with Rinsey Cove just below, the perfect beach with sand And Rockpools.......
A Big Thank you to the Owners for creating such a wonderful space to relax and enjoy a perfect holiday week.

"We had such a fabulous time at Evergreen."
A beautiful cottage in the most amazing location only a stones throw from Rinsey Cove and the coastal path. The cottage was so clean and comfortable, we couldn't have wished for a more relaxing holiday. A real gem on the Cornish coastline. We will most certainly be back for another holiday as soon as we can.

"The interior is very comfortable and stylish with plenty of equipment."
The rear garden is small and overlooked, so not secluded. The boot sale mentioned by the owner in notes could be amplified as a selling point, as it is very big and varied, well worth going to. It would be useful if some notes could be left about the local eateries/pubs as clients have not left that info. Overall a good location, with quick access on to the coastal path.

"We loved it, loved the cottage, Margaret was helpful and smashing, we had gorgeous weather for the most part but ideally, feel the bathrooms could do with a little updating."
Upstairs shower was as good as useless except for a dwarf, and the downstairs one was rather basic.
But all in all, super. Thanks for everything. Jill Muir.

"Evergreen is set in a small hamlet of Rinsey just minutes from the footpath that leads you to the coastal path."
The house is ideal for two to four people, but due to the small amount of downstairs living space (lounge and kitchen) I think six would have been too much. I think that this should be noted in your review for Helpful Holidays.
The beds were very comfortable and the house clean with nice touches of scones, jam, cream, milk and a bottle of wine left for our arrival.
It is ideal place for walking and touring, and we would love to return to this area again.
