Heather Cottage

A very comfortable place to stay with plenty of facilities including extras.

Very quiet, but handy for both north and south coasts, and for both St Ives and Penzance. We would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful, pretty location and ideally situated for visiting this beautiful part of Cornwall.

Warm especially in the kitchen with the Aga, well equipped, clean and spacious. Warm, sunny weather was an added bonus. Thank you.

Lovely stay in a great cottage, with lots of character.

Really well placed to explore with North and South coasts Only small niggle was as a tall family it was impossible to sit comfortably at the table but didn't spoil things as weather was gorgeous so we ate outside mostly.

WOW!

Beautiful. We will be back. Had a fantastic stay with my grown up family. Everything you could possibly need is available. Including your very own river that is crystal clear. Plenty of space for everyone to take time to themselves and plenty of space to sit together to eat or play the fantastic selection of games available. Perfect location for all the places we wanted to visit. Loved getting eggs and milk from the locals. Good job my Son is good at reversing the car as the roads are single country lanes so if you meet another you have no choice. Beds were very comfy and the whole place was very clean. 1st time cooking on an AGA, it’s great. Thank you for this very special find.

Lovely stay, the cottage it perfect and the location is beautiful we would definitely come back here again

This cottage is very comfortable and spacious.

It is postioned conveniently between St Ives and Penzance. Penzance has a few big supermarkets and cheaper petrol stations. There is a big M&S near Hayle, up the A30. We've stayed twice now this year and enjoyed it very much. Sometimes when the weather wasn't very good it was great just to hang around the cottage then go out to a pub or restaurant. Because of the spaciousness of the cottage people were'nt tripping over each other.

The cottage was located in beautiful, quiet surroundings with good access to locations in the western tip of Cornwall.

It was well provisioned, to the extent that it felt more like a home than a holiday cottage and this made it difficult to keep track of our belongings. We enjoyed playing pool, if rather badly and appreciated the offer to make use of the food already there.

Our third stay in this lovely place and it won't be our last - already booked for next year!

This peaceful retreat is just the most wonderful way to experience Cornwall and we're so grateful to the owners for sharing it with others. Our kids clamour to come. It's comfortable and homely, offers everything you need, and there's so much space for kids to run around, find a quiet corner, or explore - plus the beaches and sights of west Cornwall are very close by. Sitting in the garden with the quiet babble of the stream, we said to each other 'we're so lucky to be here in this peaceful place' and that pretty much sums it up.

Lovely property equipped with everything needed for a young family.

Very clean and well maintained. This is our second time staying here and we will be booking again.

What a beautiful house!

We couldn't believe our luck when we arrived to find an idyllic property in a quiet and leafy location. With perfectly maintained extensive gardens and an immaculate interior, we were very happy and comfortable for our weeks stay. We especially enjoyed spending sunny mornings in the garden, eating breakfast and drinking our coffee at the many different seating areas. The Aga was very handy for both cooking and keeping the house warm in the chilly evenings and as a dryer when the weather became distinctly Cornish. We can't wait for our next visit.

A beautiful, very well equipped property in an outstanding location, perfectly positioned for exploring this part of Cornwall.

Plenty of room in the house & garden with everything provided, we loved making toast on the Aga & the garden is spectacular. Would definitely return here.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable and felt like a home.

It was also was central to a lot of walks, interesting villages and easy for food shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with friends and would come back. Just a small issue - the window in the end bedroom (double and single bed) is stuck. The fanlight opened but the main window seemed to have been painted shut.

We loved staying at Heather Cottage, so cosy and home from home .

It is very comfortable, lwith lovely tasteful decor and in a great private location easily accessible to the sights. The children loved the garden, and there was an ample supply of games, toys and entertainment. The pool table and piano also gave us plenty of amusement, the warm Aga was a bonus for our family dinners and gathering on those cool evenings. . A perfect space for all.

A very homely rustic cottage in a lovely country location, and with very easy access to both St Ives and Penzance.

It was a beautiful place

An absolute gem of a property in a beautiful location.

We were blessed with good weather for the entire week which allowed us to eat and drink outside and enjoy the sounds of the ford and wildlife. Perfectly placed for visiting sights in West Cornwall as well, with Penzance and St Ives a mere 10-15 drive away, and some great pubs within a short drive as well. Shout out to the Coldstreamer for a great quiz night! Will definitely look at booking again.

Stunning loved everything about it would recommend this cottage to all.

What an amazing cottage.

Beautifully presented and very comfortable. All rooms very spacious. Very well equipped, we had everything we needed. In a lovely setting. Only a short drive to both Penzance and St Ives.

Absolutely gorgeous place.

Our three-generational party were very happy there and everyone said it was the best cottage we've rented. Thank you. It was also so refreshing to have such lovely art, ceramic, textiles there... Our boys loved the swings, and everyone played the piano. There were early morning trips to see dawn from St Ives and Penzance harbours - very close to north and south coasts as well as magnificent inland scenery eg. Trencrom fort. We booked for next year while we were still there!

A very comfortable, well equipped cottage.

The mini pool table provided a lot of fun. A great location for reaching beaches and countryside, but the access road would challenge some drivers. The only real problem was a complete lack of cupboards for storing food. The only cupboard was full of the owner's food.

Perfect cottage and perfect location for exploring the western beaches of Cornwall

The cottage was just fab.

We had a very good internal space for 3 couples. Had such a good time in its garden. We came Cornwall for the first time and planned lots of seesight but actually the 2 day stay in Heather Cottage has been an important part of our beautiful holiday.

Instructions re needing to raise the key in the lock before turning would have been helpful as we spent ages locked out and had to ring for help wasting lots of time on arrival.

Otherwise the best accommodation ever,. Grounds, cottage, location - so spacious and peaceful. We even had a delightful pet pheasant who visited us morning and evening - presumably for a tit bit.

Heather Cottage wasn't my cup of tea, it was booked because Harbour Lights which we usually have in Mousehole was booked.

It's not a cottage it's a house which is very dark and has very large rooms. You had to have the light on in the kitchen on a sunny day.. The garden though was wonderful and a joy to sit in at the end of the day. I will be phoning you very soon to book for next year.

Excellent place to stay.

.. lovely house and gardens

Great property, lots of room and large outside areas.

Would definitely go again as location was remote yet not too far from large town and small villages and pubs. The 300Gb internet was very fast and useful if working whilst there. A Microwave would be useful. The Aga was useful to cook with and quick to heat/boil but made kitchen area over warm and the Aga remote control device was dead (probably flat batteries). TV Sky+ unit very good but the pin code needs to be provided in the book. Needs care when entering from the north as that driveway is steep and narrow, difficult to see sides in a large car. Sykes showed departure time as early (9:00) but in fact the owners handbook showed a more realistic 10:00.

Yes, there was no microwave at the property which we felt it needed.

Also cupboard to store food would be welcomed.

This was our second stay in Heather Cottage.

We really enjoyed staying here. The garden in beautiful, our children really enjoyed the rope swings. The interior is very homely and tastefully decorated. You can tell the owners really cherish this property. It's a great location too for visiting the beautiful Cornish beaches and is close to St Ives.

This cottage was lovely, one of the best we'd stayed in.

So you can imagine our disappointment when, after arriving on the Friday on Monday coppicing started in the adjacent wood only a few feet from the cottage. We had two chainsaws and farm machinery going from just before 8am every day, 7.30 on the Friday until 4pm. Couldn't enjoy the garden. Had to keep doors and windows shut because of noise. Had to keep the upstairs shutters closed as the workmen were at bedroom level. We were absolutely gutted that our one holiday which cost over £1300 was ruined. Sykes had no interest as it wasn't on the cottage property. We think it would have been nice if the owner's had come to talk to us as we understand they live across the field, but nothing. It would have been nice if they'd spoken to their neighbours on our behalf. They did however manage to come to the garden when they thought we were out but our son was there. The cottage itself, great except we couldn't find a first aid kit when we needed one. Very sad that we couldn't enjoy it and we'll never use Sykes again.

We really loved this property.

It was comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The outdoor space was fantastic as is the location. We would not hesitate to stay again. The only thing missed was a microwave as I have a new baby but I found ways round sterilising and heating. The information pack was really good too. What a beautiful holiday home and thankyou for sharing it with us.

Once we found it, the house was amazing.

.. Didn't want to leave. A microwave was all that was lacking but the aga made up for it I guess. The beds were very comfortable. Not too far to supermarket. Lovely place to walk. No complaints except I wish I had booked 2 weeks.

The cottage is absolutely lovely in beautiful grounds in a peaceful place.

The beds were very comfortable and the AGA a great bonus. The facilities are very good - but the kitchen seating (where spending time is instinctive because of the AGA’s warmth) is seriously hard and uncomfortable. Similarly relaxing garden chairs would be really good - and a minor point was the lack of hairdryer. Loved the piano, swings bbq and fire pit! We voted Heather Cottage probably the best ever holiday rental. Thanks to the owner and cleaning team for making it so pleasant.
