"I have stayed at a few of these properties, including this one before."
This one stands out for a few reasons. First the milk in the fridge and the biscuits which, after an eight hour drive, are so very welcome. The portable heater for that extra boost also makes a big difference. The cottage is equipped with all you could need and more. We had a sudden need for needle and thread and yes, that's there as well. It must be good because I'm back in a couple of weeks!

"Lovely property."
Comfortable and very clean and welcoming. We always stay in the properties at Pendra Loweth every year and again they did not disappoint.

"I had a very comfortable stay here."
It was a lovely cosy cottage and the addition of an electric heater was a great boost when it got chilly.
Very clean and well equipped. I would definitely book this cottage again.

"Although there was clearly special cleaning arrangements in for Covid and the surface cleaning was excellent, there are areas where a little more deep cleaning would be useful."
I had to clean a layer of dust from the top edge of the kitchen tiles; in the bathroom there were spots of black mould that would also be easily addressed with a little effort; also there was evidence of black mould around some of the window frames. That said, it didn't worry us too much and we had a relaxing time.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We have addressed the cleaning issues you mentioned and we are pleased that you had a relaxing stay at Foxglove Cottage. Property Owner

"At first appearances the cottage seemed lovely, it smelt and looked clean as we walked through the door."
However, somebody had used the downstairs toilet and not cleaned it. The wardrobe in the master bedroom had two damp handtowels in the bottom of it, which smelt lovely.
Far from ideal and given the supposed extra lengths that are being undertaken with the cleaning, as the checkout time is 9am instead of 10 to allow for this. It left us feeling concerned - what else isn’t being done properly.
It would be fair to say that cleanliness was an issue with this property. One of the sofas moved during the week and rubbish, dust and toenails were found whilst moving it back.
Hot water was an issue at times. The bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable and small, at 6ft, I found my feet hitting the foot of the bed during the night.
The location was good for Maenporth beach and Swanpool. Parking was very close and the spaces are a good size.
Parking around the park is an issue, staff seem to abandon their cars outside the bar/restaurant area which can be an issue with oncoming traffic.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Foxglove Cottage. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raised after you left the property. Had we been notified during your stay we would have taken immediate action to remedy the issues raised. We have spoken with the owner and the housekeeper who will ensure the points mentioned will be addressed. There is a booster switch in the airing cupboard which would have given more hot water if needed. The double bed in the master bedroom is a standard 6ft 3', bed comfort is a personal preference and there has been no mention of this previously. Despite the points raised we hope you enjoyed your visit to The West Country. Property Owner

"It would be nice to have a washing machine and maybe more entertainment on site however I know covid restricts this at the moment."
We have been before a couple of time however prior to Covid and feel a bit more for children to do would complete our tick list.
Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay at Foxglove Cottage. It was decided that as there are on site laundry facilities available for guests a dishwasher would be more beneficial than a washing machine within the property. Unfortunately the owner is not responsible for the onsite entertainment, however we will pass your comments onto the site manager. We hope to welcome you back to Foxglove Cottage in the future.

"Beautiful place, however not very clean, mould round the windows, under the beds were filthy."
Hot water a bit of an issue, lack of. Swimming pool and hot tub out of action at the moment, playground wasn’t accessible till day 5 of our stay because it was having work done (not house owners fault but we paid expecting to be able to use all these facilities). lovely grounds. Beach definitely isn’t 15 minutes, took us a fast paced 40 minutes!
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the cleanliness issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. A boost button is available in the airing cupboard to give extra hot water if needed. Unfortunatley due to the current situation with corona virus, the site management made the decision to keep the indoor pool and gym closed until Easter 2021, this is because the space is too small to allow allocated times for guests on site to use the facilities safely. Despite this we hope you enjoyed your stay and the exceptional weather! Property Owner

"Possibly mention the access road as it is probably the only element that makes the site tricky to stay in."
I would also highlight the walk to the beach at Maenporth via the farmland as opposed to the road, a trickier route to navigate but probably safer in the long run. The accommodation was perfect for our needs.

"Everything was done for comfort."
The only thing I was unaware of was the distance to Falmouth. Having a 15 year old grandson who wanted to be out and about all the time, it cost me a fortune in Taxi fares. It would have been a nice touch for the camp to have an on site mini bus running in and out of Falmouth.

Although it is mainly for young families, we were surprised at how quiet it was. Very well located for different things to do in Falmouth, Helston and the Lizard. I would stay here again.
