Cathedral View Cottage

Cathedral View Cottage was absolutely perfect.

A real home from home, well equipped, and ideally located. Couldn't have asked for better accommodation.

Truro was a good central base from which to explore Cornwall.

Cathedral View was a lovely home from home. The accommodation was spacious, clean and well appointed. Great outdoor spaces to soak up the sun when not out and about. The cottage access road was a bit tight and manoeuvring in/out of the dedicated parking space all took getting used to but, with little passing traffic, the area was very peaceful and quiet. There was a nearby handy shortcut down the hill direct to the coop, Cathedral and centre of town in a few minutes. Depending on timetables, buses/trains are available to explore some destinations further afield. A great break with still plenty to explore another time.

This is a really lovely cottage, very well equipped with some brilliant features, plenty of space, and in a superb location.

Thank you Christine and all the very best with the venture.

Firstly the positives.

We would like to say what a lovely week we spent in the cottage. The cottage is an ideal location with it being a 3 min walk into the beautiful city of Truro. The cottage itself is very spacious with lots of quirky and quaint features. It’s is very tastefully decorated and furnished with the added bonus of a detached summerhouse and very private garden perfect for relaxing with a drink at the end of a day exploring the many beaches nearby. There are plenty of pots/pans/ plates etc very well equipped with everything you need. The cottage is located in a very peaceful area. We used the train a couple of days to save us driving and finding car parking. Finally, the negatives (which are only a couple of things) we tried to make contact on the number we were given before we arrived on several occasions, with a couple of queries, but unfortunately no one got back to us which we felt wasn’t good customer relations. Fortunately for us, we didn’t have any more need to make contact but it’s nice to be responded to especially as we were your guests. Secondly the bedrooms were very dusty on anrrival and the carpet felt like it needed hoovering. Infact I had to wipe all the surfaces before I could unpack because it was more than just a thin layer of dust. This lack of attention to detail, for me, really let the property down. It is such a shame as the house is so lovely otherwise. I have to say though, the bedding, towels and bathrooms were clean, it was just the bedrooms and also lots of cobwebs around the house in general. I appreciate that the property has fairly high ceilings and feel that it’s acceptable to miss one or 2 cobwebs when cleaning. However there were quite a few cobwebs around in easy to reach spaces which I sense were overlooked. My husband hoovered the bedroom and he noticed the hoover hadn’t been emptied and wasn’t picking up the bits on the carpets. We felt that as we were on holiday, and after a long journey down, we didn’t really want to start emptying the hoover from previous guests mess. Aside from the bedrooms and the cobwebs, overall we had a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our stay at your lovely cottage.

The house was clean and well equipped. The location is excellent for the town and public transport so we didn't need to use the car that much.

We have been doing cottage holidays for 50 years and this is one of the best we have ever used.

Beautifully presented, comfortable and with clear thought to the comprehensive contents. The owner was friendly and understanding about a minor breakage. The location in our favourite city is stunning. We intend to return every year, perhaps twice, for as long as we are able.
