Flintstone Cottage

Great little cottage, perfect location for coast path.

Fab welcome gifts! Booked last minute so very efficient turnaround!

On first arrival the cottage was so lovely, it’s in a lovely small village with 2 pubs and just one spar shop, most things you need for a stay are inside the property as well and the lovely treat that was there when we arrived of scones, jam, cream, apple juice and biscuits was so thoughtful.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of dirty dishes which we found the morning after arrival, hot taps that were loose, very dirty plug hole in the shower, dog hair and dusty blankets on the sofa, just a layer of dust on a lot of surfaces really. It’s really such a shame as just a really deep clean and the cottage would have been perfect, also, I do not believe Sykes listed that the bathroom is downstairs so if you need to toilet in the middle of the night you do need to go down the fairly steep stairs (not and issue for us but for some people maybe) also, we contacted Sykes the morning after our arrival and didn’t get a response to our queries around a contact number for the owner/ company (there isn’t one) so we could let them know about the cleanliness issues, Sykes’s did not come back to us regarding this until the day before we left, really bad communication on their part. Again, just a deep clean which I hope will be done and the cottage will be perfect.

A comfortable cottage.

Reasonably well equipped, an additional smaller frying pan would be useful. Cosy and comfortable living room and nice bedroom with lovely sea view. Could benefit from some modernisation in kitchen and bathroom. However, the cottage was very comfortable and perfect for a relaxed holiday at a reasonable cost. The outside space was ideal and the parking was useful. Pendeen was a lovely quiet village with lots to do nearby. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable week.

The cottage was lovely and clean and tidy .

But would benifit from a deep clean to make it a better cottage .

Interesting little welcoming place with a surprising history set in a nice location.

We had everything we needed in there for our short stay. Close to key amenities and private. We liked it.

Was described exactly as on sykes.

Upon arrival we found a " welcome basket " with tea bags, biscuits, scones with jam and clotted cream plus a small carton of milk in the fridge ( which was handy as we'd forgotten to pack some ). The welcome book was handy with essential phone numbers, contacts, places to visit etc. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The lounge is cosy with the fire on or without, the kitchen table has a view of the sea ( if you stand ) and you can have a morning hot drink in bed and look at the sea view out the bedroom window. You have to supply your own logs/wood for the fire, this can be bought at the local spar but can get expensive so I recommend popping into the supplier off the A30 going into Penzance. I'd download the GoCornwall bus app this was dead handy, there's a bus stop right outside the cottage. Buses are pretty regular. The local pub " the North Inn " does cracking food and sea views from the beer garden. Had a problem with the bedroom heater not working, didn't realise till Saturday. Contacted sykes, then owner contacted us and replacement heaters were left for us on Monday. So they responded asap. Think that's it, have a great holiday

Overall a lovely property in a very good location for visiting attractions.

Our only concern was the narrow steep stairs and top landing. We felt that more informative should have been given warning older visitors or those with mobility issues.

We had a lovely stay at Flintstone Cottage, it is in a great location in the heart of the village with a bus stop right outside.

The scones, jam and cream were much appreciated. The cottage was clean and had a very comfortable bed. We had a problem with the kettle during our stay which was rectified the same day so thank you to the owner and Sykes. The only problem we had was with moths, some days we were getting rid of up to about 20 but the next day there was more, we do feel this needs addressing.

We loved the cottage it was perfect for us, although it is small it has everything we needed, it is extremely well equipped, clean and comfortable.

We have stayed in several cottages in the area and this one is definitely our favourite and we will aim to stay there again.

Great little cottage, nice and quiet with great little Spar shop and pub within walking distance, serving fantastic drinks and food.

Definitely book this again.

Nice little cottage clean and warm a few loose taps that was mentioned in other reviews the garden was a bit cluttered around the door way could do with a new key safe it was very worn tuck us ages to get it open.

would have liked to visit again next year but the prices are too rich for me

Lovely, welcoming clean cottage.

Hot taps in bathroom loose, curtain rail loose & slight damage to sofa front leg in saying that, a lovely week in a tastefully decorated, clean cottage with everything thought of. Thank you. Very good local pub with friendly people.

Flintstone cottage was adorable.

The bed and sofa were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped . The shower was powerful. A lovely sized fridge freezer for our fortnight's stay. However, a few things would have made our 2 weeks stay better..... Clean bedding for the second week, the rotary washing line was broken and unusable, we did have a power cut and the torch provided was totally inadequate. There was no mop and cleaning materials provided. Just these small things would have made our stay perfect, but on the whole we really enjoyed staying in your cottage, thank you

The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the cottage was lovely.

The bathroom was a good size though there was a small leak coming from the pipework connecting the taps to the sink. There were great views of the sea from the bedroom windows and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Loads of storage too. A really cute cottage and nice to have the welcome pack of milk, scones, jam and cream. Much appreciated. Lots of areas to sit outside at the front and good to have parking. As others reviews have mentioned it's quite difficult pulling out on to the road as you can't see what's coming. The bus stop is just across the road. Pendeen is very small and quiet but has all you need and was exactly what we were looking for. Great location for walking SW coast path. We had a lovely stay and couldn't fault the cottage.

We’ve just come back from a week at Flintstone cottage.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. Nice area for walking and close for Penzance and st Ives. Nice 2 mile walk to the sea. Shower is not at all powerful, that was the only down side, although the property has a bee issue. We were hoovering daily and we had dead bees on the floor in the morning. We managed to remove them to outside when we saw them during the day. Very good internet connection. Food waste goes in a food waste bin and the recycled rubbish in a clear bag, and into the dustbin. There were no clear bags at the property for this, so we had to improvise. I would stay there again.

Our stay was great thank you, nothing we were left wanting for, everything was covered!

We did struggle to find the property initially, would be my only constructive (if I can call it so) 'criticism', the sign was a little hard to see from the direction we approached. But that was minor!! Really appreciated the scones and milk etc upon arrival. Lovely stay, cottage well furnished and equipped, good location, would stay again :))

I would highly recommend a stay at Flintstone Cottage in Pendeen.

A beautiful cottage which date's back to 1820. The renovation to the cottage is in keeping with the style, the facilities are very modern with a bath and power shower the kitchen has everything you need to prepare food., The lounge has a flat screen TV with free view and fast WiFi. You will not be disappointed with your stay the village is beautiful the neighbours are very friendly and there is a dog walking field just across the road.

A lovely little cottage, especially the sitting room with nice furnishings and the bathroom.

Very clean which is much appreciated. Good wifi connection, lots of hot water, good kitchen, easy to park. The welcome scones, milk etc was a very nice touch. The location is very good for this lovely part of Cornwall. Our only minor suggestions are some well attached hooks for clothes in the bathroom and vestibule and mention that the mattress has memory foam.

Beautiful cottage, great location.

Flinstones cottage was as advertised.

Small and compact but everything we needed. Very comfortable and clean. Location was superb. Opposite the dog field was very handy, spectacular views too. 3 very friendly local pubs, close to amenities and perfect place to explore a cracking part of Cornwall. In fact, I think my husband and I have left a little bit of our heart back in Pendeen. Would highly recommend.

The cottage was lovely and a perfect base for our holiday.

Everything was comfortable and very clean.

We had a lovely week at Flintstone Cottage.

It is ideally situated for visiting the beautiful coastline and beaches of the Lands End and Lizard peninsulas. Local to the cottage is a good pub and a useful mini supermarket. The cottage is situated on a main road, but it was not too busy or noisy (could be busier in peak season I guess) and pulling out of the drive took care. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable. It is small but big enough for the two of us and our dog.

Absolutely lovely cottage, very well stocked with all essentials & a lovely welcome pack (Thank you).

Only drawback was the narrow stairway to the bedroom, difficult to get the cases up! Shower Head also needs a little TLC as it kept falling off the holder. I would recommend the cottage for a couple who like to get out & about. Love the little garden at the front (we were blessed with good weather). Pendeen has lots to offer (3 pubs) & beautiful scenery if you walk to the Lighthouse. Central to most areas of interest.

This property is very small but is adequate for 2 and nicely decorated.

The refrigerator is not quite big enough for those that like to get a few meals to have in, but ok for a couple of drinks, milk, butter etc. and there is a separate tiny freezer. The bed felt a bit lumpy and soft but that might be a matter of opinion, ie. We like firm mattresses. Great shower. We were pleasantly surprised with how well connected this cottage was with buses and things to do locally. In season every hour £5 all day Coaster bus or fast bus to Penzance. Fabulous.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flintstone cottage, it had everything that we needed and was close to everywhere that we wanted to visit.

The local village was lovely with a few pubs and a shop in walking distance which was nice. When staying in Cornwall again I would definitely return!

At the beginning of the welcome sheet says, ' our cottage is very old and the stairs are very steep' this combined with the bathroom being on the ground floor neither of which is mentioned in the information given prior to booking.

this would be importand the older person booking the cottage. We noted a previous comment about parking difficulties but carried on with the booking, the entrance is on a slight bend in the road which is on a bus route and very busy at certain times of the day you need a second person to guide you out. The village is friendly and the North Inn can be recommended.

The cottage had all the facilities that you would require when on holiday - however it also had a lot of decorative items / cushions and kitchen equipment that was over the top for a holiday cottage.

The courtyard was a nice place to sit in the sun and enjoy a cuppa and watch the world go by.

Lovely clean and well equipped accommodation.

Brilliant area for walking and exploring. Good local pubs providing delicious food and drink. We both enjoyed a relaxing stay.

As we have been to Pendeen before we had no trouble finding the cottage.

It is lovely, very well kept, spotlessly clean and everything you would need. It was great being in such a central location and brilliant for the dog.

Flinstone Cottage was the perfect stay for us.

The Village was quiet . Perfect location for meeting up with our son in Pendeen. Fantastic walks. Great base for sightseeing. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely quaint very well equipped cottage with everything you need .

In a lovely location easy to get the coast . Lovely walks and local pubs for a bite to eat after a long day . Would highly recommend a stay here .

The cottage was great, would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Cornwall!

!!

Flintstone Cottage was the perfect base for us.

It was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. It was just right for us as a couple, with our dog and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

The existing online photo for Flintstone cottage needs updating as the driveway shown is now reduced for parking due to the inclusion of a shed, small fencing etc, and due to this, the off road parking mentioned is restricted.

Also very difficult to reverse onto the busy man main road without guidance due to blindspots from the wall. The cottage is well equipped although the fridge is VERY small. Unfortunately when we arrived the cottage had a very strong smell of cigarettes which stayed with us both downstairs and in the bedroom throughout our 7 night stay, which wasn't at all pleasant, and we can only assume the smell was left from the previous occupants (we know the smell wasn't from the use of the wood burner as we have one ourselves). Also feel the online description should state the cottage is only suitable for one small size dog only.

I have sent a letter regarding this property, As stated this property is not safe for people such as ourselves (82 Years old).

It should also be correctly advertised,I read nowhere that the property is on the main road and therefore very noisy. It would be nice also polite to comments on it.

Flinstone Cottage is a delightful cottage , perfect for us 2 and our dog.

So convenient for the coastal footpath and public transport if you wish to take the bus to go further afield. The cottage was homely and immaculate with a quaint garden , completely secure . We love West Penwith and would not hesitate to return to Flinstone Cottage.

A lovely little cottage.

Well equipped and with nice touches. However, the lounge was exceedingly cold and unbearable unless the fire was lit.
