"We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic cottage, tucked away in the middle of a small wood with its own stream at the bottom of the fully enclosed garden—perfectly safe for our little dog to run around."
The cottage itself was very comfortable, well equipped, and full of charm, with quirky, eclectic touches thanks to the thoughtful use of upcycled and repurposed furniture and fittings. We especially loved the spacious main bedroom and interesting cloakroom. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch, and Nigel and Jenna were incredibly friendly and accommodating—nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

"The cottage is stunning, a real treat."
It's in a perfect location tucked away, and the garden is fabulous for all ages and paws to relax and play in.
It was a great base for exploring the wonders of Cornwall.
We found it very homely. Comfy beds and lovely décor and additions around house made it feel really homely and welcoming. The property had everything we needed as a family to cook, relax and spend quality time together.
The hot tub was a perfect addition, well utilised (especially after a long day of walking and exploring).
Jenna and Nige were fantastic hosts, super friendly, always on hand, nothing was too much trouble.
We’ve had an amazing holiday and can’t wait to recommend Harvey's House to others, and come back ourselves some time.
Thank you for your heart warming review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and made such good use of all that the house and location has to offer. Thank you for taking such good care of the cottage. We really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to your next stay!

"A real home away from home."
Every detail has been thought about and rather than arrive at a property and then have to think about whether we then needed to go and buy washing up liquid etc everything that we needed was there. A real first was a dog bed, poo bags and a bowl for her. Alongside plenty of kitchen equipment to cook, the garden area is beautiful and the hosts are friendly, knowledgeable and were on hand to help with anything we needed. The kids enjoyed the rope swing and the hot tub and a big bonus was a comfy bed to sleep in. I hope that this cottage stays exactly as it is and many more families can enjoy what it has to offer.
Thank you very much for your lovely and thoughtful review. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your beautiful family. Thank you so much for being such great guests and for taking care of the cottage. We hope to see you again.

We particularly enjoyed the tyre swing that we used almost everyday. We desired the luxury of the bedrooms — especially the beds that you actually want to jump into and go to sleep. We liked the secret path to the river, that took us a long time to find.

"(Please don't overlook this beautiful, rustic, tranquil cottage and click to the next property)."
We can't recommend it more highly. Thank you to Jenna and Nigel for allowing us to feel like cherished guests. So many extra touches that Jenna and Nigel give the cottage make it so special and gives the impression that they are very proud of their business and it was a joy to stay there. I took a pre-home made shepherds pie to put in the oven when we arrived, but the kitchen there has all the implements to make a tasty meal. The log burner keeps you warm and cosy and you wont be cold! The beds are comfy and we had the best nights sleep. The hot tub was FANTASTIC... and the garden is not overly manicured or overlooked and gives the sense of getting back to nature, it is very peaceful and relaxing. It's the extra touches that made our stay outstanding, and we agree with a previous feedback that the cottage is decorated to a standard of a 5-star hotel. The cats were curious and adorable but we were warned not to let them inside case they scratch the furniture.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful, kind and considered feedback, we are so pleased that you had such a nice time at Harvey’s House.

"OMG what can we say, and we said OMG so many times within our first minutes on arriving at Harvey's House!"
The area, house and garden were incredible and so beautiful! Jenna and Nigel are the perfect hosts and the attention to detail was out of this world. We were so welcomed, with such thoughtful touches and decorated to a standard of a 5 star hotel! The garden has a hot tub, so easy to use, so tranquil and not overlooked. It was like a fairy garden with lots to explore! Having the old viaduct in the garden was incredible too! The place is central to everywhere we wanted to go like St Ives, Seal Sanctuary, and other places of local beauty. Had the best night sleep looking at the stars above our bed through the Velux windows! We never wanted to leave and came home to start redecorating in the same style! We cannot wait to come back very soon! Thank you Jenna and Nigel and the pussy cats for giving us the best week and the loveliest memories.

Quality and cleanliness to a high standard. The hot tub and surroundings are wonderful with the viaduct at the bottom of the garden. Location is great with helston town only 5 minutes away along with many other wonderful places to visit. We did a few tourist attractions but loved Lizard the most with its costal path. Sad to leave, and hope to return soon. Last but not least, the hosts were lovely and close by (but not imposing) in case anything was needed. Would highly recommend Harvey’s House ❤️

"Harvey's House is a wonderful, secluded cottage in a terrific location close to Helston."
It was the perfect base from which to easily explore the surrounding area. The cottage was spotlessly clean, maintained to a high standard with every possible comfort taken care of by the thoughtful owners. This included even the smallest details such as paw washers for our dog , a dog bed large enough for a greyhound (which is rare!) and dog towels. The owners were very generous with consumables such as loo roll and logs which is not always the case :) We had the most amazing, restful week and would totally recommend this property.

"Thanks for a great stay - loved the barn conversion and modern way you’ve fitted it out."
Hot tub a wonderful feature.
A few kitchen utensils needed to complete the inventory - potato masher, corkscrew, can opener & some proper wine glasses wouldn’t go amiss.
I’d probably note on the listing the steep driveway that some cars & people may struggle with. Only other smaller point would be that the logs issued (albeit plentiful for our stay) weren’t that dry and typically needed kiln dried logs that we bought to establish the fire indoors & outdoors before we could make use of them.. I wouldn’t normally be this picky but the barn would have been too cold had we not been able to rely on the fire burning at full output every night, with the bedrooms much cooler (c18degrees) by late evening..
Do hope the venture works out & pays off for you - we didn’t really get to enjoy the immediate setting much due to the time of year, but am sure it would be lovely in the summer months..

"Harvey’s House was the perfect place to retreat to."
We received a very warm and friendly welcome from Jenna and Nigel, with a delicious cream tea and a hot hot tub ready. Perfect!
Harvey’s house is a very comfortable and cosy place to stay. Its new decor and furnishings have been thoughtfully and joyfully created for this new venture with everything you could possibly need from air fryer, dog paw cleaning cups, to sheep design toilet roll holder!! The Christmas decorations were a beautiful touch too.
There are three spacious bedrooms each with its own decor theme. The open plan living space works well with a beautiful outlook on to the garden.
The hot tub is AMAZING, strong jets, pretty coloured LED lights. It was so relaxing and special to be outside in all weathers with the moon and stars above, in between the wind and rain. The weather didn’t matter! It was quite easy to get the tub back to temperature each day.
Jenna and Nigel were very responsive to our questions and any issues were sorted promptly. Harveys House is quiet and private, located in its own woodland garden bordered by a river. Woodland walks from the house made it a perfect place for us and our two four-leggeds.
All in all this has been a perfect place for our short winter break.
Thank you Jenna and Nigel for all the work you have put into making this such a lovely homely place. We wish you well on this new venture. We definitely want to return again soon and will highly recommend Harvey’s House to friends and family.
N.B Please read the directions carefully and don’t follow the SAT NAV and end up having to turn round in a neighbour’s garden!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to feed back and for your wonderful summary of your stay, we are honoured.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our cottage too and leaving it so clean and tidy! We were lucky to have you and look forward to having you again.
