Little Prickle

Charming accommodation, lovely owners and dogs.

Delighted with the cream tea on arrival.....thank you. Hope to return in the near future.

Lovely cottage and lovely owners.

What more do you want.

We had a great stay at Little Prickle cottage, it had everything we needed for our weeks stay.

Very cosy and comfortable accommodation. Great base to explore everything Cornwall has to offer. Thanks to our hosts for the lovely welcoming items, the cream tea was especially good.

There was no WiFi for all time we were there the Mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable.

The tv had no pictures do to bad reception only in bed who wants to go to bed at 6pm. I do feel I’m owed some compensation for the WiFi if someone relying on it they have none. Most disappointing

Wonderful cottage and owners.

Hope to return in near future.

Nice place to stay, very quiet and quite close to Newquay.

Travelled to many local and distant attractions from little prickle. Cottage clean and well maintained. The only downside was the mattress was not very comfortable, and the heated towel rail did not work, but other than that a great place to stay.

Our stay at little prickle was wonderful the whole place is spotless and very comfortable it is fully furnished and very tidy and very quite it has a small garden with chairs and a table if you like outside dining there is parking for one vehicle and the owners are very pleasant people

We love little Prickle.

It’s our 4th stay in 3 years. It has everything you need and close to all the Cornish beaches. The owners are there if you do need anything who are always welcoming and friendly. Thank you again for making our holiday enjoyable.

Lovely little cottage to stay at for my daughter’s first birthday, host was there on arrival and offered herself if we had any issues.

Location was perfect to get to most destinations in Cornwall. Only minor issue was the mattress was uncomfortable but other than that it was a fantastic stay.

A good location for what we wanted to do.

The cottage was first class and neatly furnished, however we did have a few problems with the TV. All in all a great stay and we will be back again next year. Thank you. Martin Withers.

We had an enjoyable stay at Little Prickle, which is situated in the grounds of the owners home, with plenty of space to park.

We arrived to scones, jam clotted cream, and a bottle of milk in the fridge, also tea, coffee and sugar. Little Prickle was lovely and clean, with a comfortable bed. Dave and Andrea were a nice friendly couple and not too intrusive and there to help if needed.

Very pleasant week spent at Little Prickle.

The cottage is only small but is well maintained comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners are friendly, and the cream tea, milk and little gift on arrival were appreciated. Highly recommended The Two Clomes pub along the main road for Sunday lunch, and we had a 2nd delicious meal on our last night. (Easier to walk as parking is very limited.) It would've been helpful if Sykes' emailed directions to the cottage stated that they're from middle of Newquay.

Just spent three wonderful weeks at Little Prickle.

The whole ambience of the place is a dream and we cannot wait until October for our next visit. Thank you to Dave and Andrea for all your hard work,

Fabulous little cottage.

Fantastic position with unspoilt views across the countryside. Pretty little private garden. Cottage was very clean and had everything you needed. Very nice welcome gift. The two negatives were big things - 1 Directions were not at all clear and we had a real job to find it. 2 The mattress on the bed is extremely poor. Having seen this in reviews we brought our own mattress topper which did little to alleviate the problem but it was better than nothing. Seriously needs a new mattress as it spoils what could be a brilliant little place.

Little Prickle is a delightful cottage converted from an outbuilding in grounds of the owners' home.

It has a comfortable lounge, a well equiped kitchen and a good sized bedroom which has an en suite with a fabulous shower and huge electric towel rail. There is a good sized garden too. The property is only a couple of miles from Newquay and has easy access to the A30, providing easy travel to wider Cornwall. During our stay, there were issues with tv reception and streaming to which we are sure the owners will attend. Overall, however, we had a fabulous fortnight's stay.

We spent the cosiest ten days at little prickle it’s so cute and cosy and I was extremely impressed with all your little touches and home comforts your fully stocked kitchen cupboards were amazing I always bring everything with me but didn’t need to unpack my bits your thought was so personal thank you the welcome cream tea coffee tea sugar was brilliant comfy sitting room lovely bathroom and cosy bedroom was like home would definitely love to come back and definitely recommend thank you so much for everything we had a wonderful Cornish adventure also I would love to add although you were just near us we had complete privacy and peace and quiet again MANY THANX

The cottage is a lovely cozy getaway for 2 people only 10 mins from Newquay and all the different beaches.

..the accommodation itself is really well finished with everything you need provided...we received a lovely cream tea and tea towel as a memento gift which is a lovely touch...the only slight detraction would be the mattress on the bed was starting to feel well used but that could just be us being used to a firmer one....but all in all we would definitely recommend a stay here...

I would not stay at this property again as the bed was very poor mattress and bed was bad springs sticking in back pillows very lumpy towels very small to dry yourself on radiator tap was of in bedroom so couldn't put it on when it was cold also bedroom window was steaming up from outside and flowers in bedroom window had got black mould growing on them, I personally think instead of complementary cream teas and free tea towel they should spend there money on a good bed and mattress for people to have a good night's sleep on, we went for a week in October for our 15 wedding anniversary and ended up only stay 2 night's came home early it was the worst night's sleep me and my wife's ever had,

It was a great little holiday home which was very well equipped.

Whilst we were very comfortable there were a couple of minor things. #1 - The mattress was uncomfortable, it lacked support and you could feel springs. #2 - The pillows need replacing as very lumpy. #3 - The valve to the radiator in the bedroom is just balanced on the pipe and does not work #4 - the bedroom window needs a clean on the outside. A great view but it's through bird pooh, spider webs and ground dirt #4 - The host never checked all was okay at all. We saw the lady once when she was on the phone on the drive outside, where she could have smiled, waved or just acknowledged us. But choose to ignore us and turn the other way. These are just little things though, all in all it was very good, well equipped and very comfortable

Absolutely brilliant,we loved the welcome gift of the T Towel and Cream Tea,the location was great and the owners were fantastic,if we go to Cornwall next year we will stay at the little Prickle again,if there were 10 Stars that is what I would give.

It is a pity there are not six stars to give.

We had booked for May 2024 and saw this week in July free so we thought we would check out the cottage. It was a complete pleasure from the outside look of the cottage to the wonderful Welcome Pack with cream teas,milk and biscuits as well as a lovely tea towel as a gift and a lovely welcome card. Little Prickle is immaculate inside with comfortable bed and furniture. We as I said had booked for May 2024 but the day after we returned home booked 2 weeks in October 2024. Thank you to the owners for everything.

Owners were very helpful and it was a nice gesture to have a cream tea provided on our arrival.

A lovely wecome gift pack of a cream tea/ biscuits/ momento and milk in the fridge too!

.Very much appreciated. 'Little Prickle' was scruptiously clean and comfortable and the owners were pleasant and helpful. We spent a very enjoyable week there

So friendly and helpful.

The cream tea etc was such a lovely touch. We loved our time with you and hope to come back.

Wonderful little place for a couple.

.perfectly positioned for touring the county .great welcome pack....obliging owners next door...lovely views

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the little prickle at the end of March.

It was a beautifully presented cottage and spotlessly clean, with lovely views. We will definitely be visiting again in the future and definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay

Perfect.

We loved the "Little Prickle", it was the best presented holiday let we've stayed at.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. Location was really good. Nice and Peaceful. It will be amongst the top places we would stay at again in the future.

Lovely cosy cottage, friendly owner, welcome gift of cream tea, milk and box of fudge was a lovely gesture, much appreciated.

The cottage was very clean, and quiet. Everything you need for a romantic getaway and situated in an ideal place to visit anywhere in Cornwall. Perfect.

This little place was well appointed and spotlessly clean.

Ideally located within easy reach of many local towns and beaches. Lovely to receive a cream tea on arrival. Although just off a main road there was no traffic noise and beautiful views. Would recommend and return. Thank you

superb accommodation.

loverly setting and views. great to find a welcome pack. very friendly and helpful.

This place is perfectly placed, great hosts, lovely and peaceful.

Very clean and modern, perfect base to enjoy Cornwall, 10 mins from Newquay, little prickle highly recommended 5 star

Wow what a wonderful place, central, beautifully kept cottage in a lovely setting.

We had everything we could possibly have wanted but Andrea was at hand with a freindy smile to answer any questions. The weather was out of this world. Thank you. The welcome cream tea and gifts was a lovely touch. I would not hesitate to return or recommend.

My partner and I stayed at Little Prickle during the first week of August.

We loved it. It was everything/had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday in Cornwall. The location is perfect for visiting Nequay daily- a beautiful location with an abundance of activities to do. It is also perfect for venturing to other scenic parts of Cornwall. The home comes with a few amenities, which Made our stay easier: tea, coffee and sugar; towels, washing line, WiFi, Netflix (used our own log-in), fridge with a small freezer at the top. We absolutely loved the convenience, location and simplicity of this holiday home. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back in the near future.

Little Prickle is a beautiful cosy little cottage for 2 people We were welcomed by a beautiful cream tea for two, along with a box of clotted cream fudge and a Cornwall tea towel and a welcome card from the lovely owners !

! Everything in the cottage was of very good quality and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful In a good location to get to many of the attractions in Cornwall An excellent stay, we thoroughly enjoyed staying here

The property has been modernised and is immaculate with ample parking.

There was no windows only a sky light in the living room which felt claustrophobic. I Would suggest that they fit a blackout blind in the bedroom as there is currently only unlined curtains which make the room very light early in the morning. There was a lovely sitting area in the garden which was very private and when we arrived the owner had left milk, tea bags and coffee along with a box of fudge and a cream tea which was a lovely gesture.

Had a very enjoyable time staying at the cottage.

Beautifully decorated, very comfortable. Would certainly stay there again.

We loved our stay wonderful place a couple of things, that would help.

The bathroom light switch if it could be turned on from inside the bathroom that would save disturbing your wife at night. The bed we found disappointing a bit small and a soft materes a new bed would really lift the property. A soap tray in the shower cubical. But overall we loved it and will be back.

A lovely little cottage, perfect for 2.

It was very well situated to Newquay and the main roads around Cornwall. There was a sweet welcome gift on arrival. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again

The cottage was lovely , well equipped, very spacious and actually much nicer than the pictures on website.

A really warm welcome from the hosts and a lovely cream tea and fudge . Cleaned to a high standard

The hosts were friendly and helpful and the cottage was first class.

Perfectly located for touring round and only a couple of miles from Newquay, also the local pub ‘The Two Clomes’ was excellent if staying local.

lovely week spent at little prickle,spotlessly clean,well equipped and maintained to high standard,unexpected bonus of a large garden with lovely views.

Would definitely recommend

Great experience at Little Prickle .

Really well presented and stocked cottage. Excellent WIFI which was not advertised in the booking. Just off main road with good connections to all Cornwall .Would recommend for a 2 person break.

Lovely cosy cottage, beautifully decorated and clean - very quiet yet very near to amenities and attractions - would recommend.

Thank you

This is a lovely place to stay : nice location , clean and warm cottage.

The host are very friendly and welcoming. We would be happy to return .

Lovely place to stay.

Friendly owners who made the cottage nice and clean. Lots of space for 2 people. Comfy bedroom, cool living room to relax after a long day, kitchen has everything u need and peaceful place to be. Beautiful views and even a garden to sit in. Parking very good aswell. Great place as your are near loads of attractions and beaches. I would go back there again.

What a little beauty.

On our arrival we were met by the owner who wished us a happy week. On entering the cottage a gift of a couple of cream teas and a box of Cornish fudge awaited us. What a lovely touch. The cottage was compact and bijou but certainly not cramped. It was spotless, well decorated and fitted out to a high standard. All in all we enjoyed a lovely week, made all the better by Little Prickle being our base.

The cottage has been very tastefully modernised, and very well equipped.

The owners were very helpful when we asked for any help or information. We had a lovely stay and recommend Little Prickle to anyone who wants a quiet and comfortable relaxing time away.

We had a wonderful stay at Little Prickle.

Dave and Andrea were very welcoming, with a little gift of cream teas and Cornish fudge, a lovely little touch. The property, private garden area and parking facilities were superb. As my husband is slightly disabled this property gave us a very secure feeling as everything is on one level. The decor, furnishings were A1. We would highly recommend this cottage. The area was ideal. In the village of Quentrill Downs there was free parking in the village hall car park, a local Spar shop and a bus stop next door. Ideal if you are of the older generation with a free bus pass, and do not want to worry about driving at busy holiday times and not having to think about car parking in nearby towns.

Very welcoming very clean would go again.

The accommodation was spotless, had everything we needed, even a hose pipe for rinsing wetsuits and surf gear down with.

Welcomed with scones and clotted cream as well as some local fudge. Owners really welcoming. Not far from Newquay itself and surrounding beaches. We had a great week here. Thank you.

A lovely converted barn, beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need and more.

A lovely welcome from owners and a surprise of scones jam and cream on arrival and milk in the fridge plus box of fudge. Fantastic views across the downs and lovely garden to sit in.
