The most comfortable well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in The owners had thought of everything The layout of the cottage worked well for the three generations of our family staying there Parking was good and access to all the nearby attractions and facilities was very good The weather was perfect My only small comment is that with the hot weather the fridge in the kitchen was quite small for 6 of us and with no nearby shops daily shopping was sometimes difficult Otherwise the cottage was comfortable clean and welcoming

“Hi, we were a little surprised at ...”

Hi, we were a little surprised at the remoteness. Manaccan is 2 miles away as the footpaths shown on the OS map are not maintained or visible. I think you should remind people of the narrowness of the roads as they can be scary to drive certainly the road that Barvanjack is on. We must complement the owners on the house. Everything is of good quality and very comfortable and the garden is wonderful. Thank you

“The cottage was perfect for us. I ...”

The cottage was perfect for us. I don't think the description does justice to the rural location or the lovely decor. Only small gripe - please make clear there will be no toilet paper in the house on arrival. Easy to take but difficult arriving after a 9 hour drive with two young children to find out.

“Well equipped house with lovely ...”

Well equipped house with lovely views, situated in a very quiet location about 1.5 miles along a narrow lane. A place for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. A map of the local area would be appreciated. A negative was that there was no key to the external conservatory doors, a similar key to another door did not work. This meant that there was no direct access to the patio - which was disappointing. Eventually the problem was resolved by my phoning the agents; a locksmith came later in the day to sort the problem and the locks were replaced, as it seems as though the original key had been lost. We had a lovely week, with good weather - enjoying the garden, though this requires some attention.

“First problem we encountered was ...”

First problem we encountered was being unable to access cottage. We were given incorrect code number for keysafe from you and when we phoned to get correct number it was still difficult to access but managed after speaking with owners who advised us of the knack to open box. Unable to use conservatory door to patio and it transpired we were not left the correct key. However, the cottage was absolutely stunning and the most comfortable we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in more than a dozen in this area over the last thirty years. We will definitely go back to “Barvanjack” and hopefully use the patio area! A wonderful week.

About the location

MANACCAN

Helston 10 miles ; Helford 1.5 miles ; Porthallow 3 miles

The village of Manaccan on the South Helford is small and friendly, with an excellent restaurant, friendly village inn and a beautiful 12th century church. The South Helford is arguably one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Cornwall. With meandering country roads, picturesque creeks, tidal inlets and pretty waterside villages, the area can be summed up in three words: tranquil, charming and timeless. The perfect spot for enjoying outdoor living, the South Helford’s sheltered coves were made for messing around on the water and strolling leisurely along the banks. Leave your ‘phone behind and embrace the simple pleasures - while away time paddling in the shallows, explore hidden coves with a hire boat from St Anthony, and stroll through woodland to enjoy a picnic on the beach.
