• "This was our second visit to Poldark cottage and we really enjoyed our stay."

  Perfect base for exploring Cornwall. Rear garden would benefit from some TLC, making it more inviting to spend some time out there. Front Garden could similarly do with some attention. Looking forward to returning.

• "We had a lovely stay at Poldark cottage."

  The cottage is situated right by the harbour and several places to have a drink or bite to eat in the evening which is very convenient if you don't want to cook, However the kitchen is very well equipped if you do and very clean. It was very peaceful so we slept well in comfortable beds. Parking was directly opposite the cottage which was convenient if a little small but not a problem if you have a car maybe a bit too small for a larger vehicle. On the whole the cottage was very clean, well situated, cosy and we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend .

• "The cottage was perfect."

  Beautifully furnished and with attention to detail.. We were so lucky with the weather and that always makes a difference to a holiday. We were able to sit in the garden and enjoy coffee or an early evening drink then later, if needed, enjoy a log fire. Claire and Darren are wonderful hosts and so helpful. We were able to stay an extra two days. The icing on the cake. We didn't want to leave. I am looking for dates for a future booking. Thank you so much Claire and Darren. Best wishes, Pamela and Michael.

  The rooms are all spacious yet comfy and cosy, the kitchen is well equipped, the owner is friendly and helpful. The cottage is a short walk from the beach, lots of pubs and restaurants and a big playing field with children’s playground. We couldn’t have asked for more!

• "A wonderful comfy cottage in a brilliant location."

  Excellent beds, facilities and cleanliness. Would definitely recommend this super cottage. The only thing that needs clarification is bins and recycling. We only had a green bin whilst neighbours had a black and a compost bin. So we just put everything in one bin which felt wrong.

• "The house was lovely and comfortable in a great location."

  The facilities were as we expected and we particularly appreciated the log burner which kept the living room lovely and warm. Kitchen utensils were better than we've had in other rentals, so we had everything we needed for meal prep. We had to turn the central heating down as it kept kicking in through the night. And we turned radiators in the bedrooms down as they were far too warm, which is much better than being too cold! We had a wonderful week there - thank you.

  Fantastic location with easy access to places of interest. Parking was good. Only downside was the lack of maintenance of both front and back gardens e.g. full of weeds in the paving, cracked paving stones and wall and mismatched furniture. Not what we would expect of a 5* property.

• "Great cottage."

  Excellent location - close to the wonderful harbour and pubs/restaurants. We struck it lucky with the weather so we were able to walk from Charlestown to Carlyon Bay which was well worth it. Parking is limited - it would be difficult if you had more than one vehicle. The cottage was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay enjoyable, the only issue was the double bed wasn't very comfortable as the mattress had seen better days. Unfortunately, there is a business at the back of the cottage and they were very noisy early in the morning (05:30) so a lie-in wasn't on the cards. Nevertheless, would fully recommend it.

  The Cottage was spacious, extremely clean and decorated and furnished to the highest quality. We had everything we needed. It was in a great location, within a very short walk to restaurants and harbour, literally a couple of minutes. There was also the added advantage of parking. There were Three couples and so Three cars, but there was plenty of room. The Cottage also had outside space with patio furniture and canopy. We all enjoyed the garden on our return from days out. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to staying again.

  The house is well appointed and maintained and works well for 6 adults. The compact garden is more than functional and catches the sun perfectly from late morning into the evening. The owners were keen to help with the one minor question we had when we were down there, visiting in person to solve the situation. The only (very) minor issues were the lack of soap on arrival, and a trickyTV system to figure out, but all in all I would definitely recommend this property to any group of 4-6 people
