“Wonderful place if you're looking for peace and quiet.”

Perfect for exploring the area, and great for dog walks.

Mr Eustice February 2020

“I think, had I realised the property only had 2 x electric fires I may have reconsidered somewhere else.”

Perfect place for Summer (so long as competent and confident driver due to very narrow unmade road to property hardstanding with nowhere close to turn around so reverse back down potholed narrow road.) and great local pub just a short walk away - but would not go back in poor weather.
Mr Clamp October 2019

“Nice cost cottage every thing you would need for a relaxing break .”

People said problem with parking no problem parking medium sized car
Mr Jobbins September 2019

“Great location for visting attractions and beaches.”

Parking area could be improved and a new mattress would help. Otherwise a fantastic place to stay.
Mrs Stokes September 2019

“Lovely, comfortable cottage in a friendly village.”

Spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper was gratefully received. May not be ideal for the less mobile due to uneven access. Parking no problem even with an mpv. Would happily return.
Mrs Redman September 2019

“The access and parking are really bad but could be improved if the bank were to be dug back.”

It is possible to go further up the lane and turn, but I only discovered this after a walk to investigate. The front steps into the cottage are very high, about a foot, so not good if you have knee or hip problems. Might be possible to put a ramp in or reduce step heights. Also the stairs could benefit from an extra hand rail. Otherwise a really lovely cottage in a beautiful area.
Miss Hoskins August 2019

“The access to the cottage is very poor, and the parking space is not always available due to residents.”
Miss Czapp July 2019

“Lovely cottage, great location.”

Had an issue with the hot water, which was sorted immediately. Very comfortable and clean. Thought of everything you would need for a pleasant stay. Will definitely be booking again.
Mrs Greenhalgh July 2019

“The cottage was lovely but the parking was an experience we only had a small car luckily my husband is a retired hgv class1 driver and didn't find it easy if.”

The hedges at the side were cut back and the track evened out it would be better in the visitors book a few comments were about the parking and said they would not be going again because of the parking situation
Mr Moss June 2019

“The parking space would be more accessible if the owner widened the entrance; this could be done with the minimum of expense.”

Parking in is OK but reversing out is difficult because of the restricted turning circle. The bathroom extraction works but is very noisy taking an excessive time to switch off following a shower. Without these two minor problems our comfort would have exceeded expectations. Other than those two points we were very happy with the cottage, the high degree of privacy; the quality of cleanliness and the.comfort that the cottage provided. The pub is within walking distance it offers first class food and drink at sensible prices and the corner shop is a boon. Thank you Sykes. We will be looking to book through Sykes again. Also we will recommend Bellbine cottage to our friends and may well want to return in the future as it gave us a pleasant holiday.

“Bellbine cottage is a really lovely little place to stay.”

It is very well set out with a very comprehensive cottage having every facility needed for a comfortable stay. We liked the bedroom specifically which was roomy and airy with two windows and a comfortable bed. The kitchen is very well equipped and a comfortable lounge. Its tucked away down a narrow lane, but is a peaceful and leafy location. There is a parking pace for one car, and yes its a bit tight but I have a large car and managed ok. You have to carry on up the narrow lane to a turning spot to come back down past the cottage. With a little care this is not a problem. There is a great pub just a short walk down the lane! The cottage was very clean and well looked after and in a central location making exploring Cornwall easy. Will definitely come back.
Mr Sturdy May 2019

“The cottage was clean and comfortable and well located for our holiday.”

There had been lots of comments about difficult parking but to be honest it wasn't that bad, but we're used to country life. The only thing that let this cottage down was the hot water system. Every time you used it it felt like the boiler was going to explode and it made such a noise. No chance of relaxing bath in this place. If that got fixed then the place would hit the mark.
Mrs Watson December 2018

“When we arrived at the cottage we were delighted how cosy,clean and well equipped it was, the welcome hamper a lovely surprise.”

The Christmas lights around the cottage was appreciated and made it feel very seasonal. We found everyone we met to be so friendly and helpful. The local village store has a great selection and is reasonably priced. The Polgooth Inn is definitely worth a visit the food, staff and the open roaring fires were a delight. Tuesday it is quiz night which was fun and enjoyable. Buddy the dog was also made very welcome and loved the attention that he got. The lane and parking is a bit tricky, but once you get used to it not so bad. We will definitely be going back to stay. Thank you
Mrs Hallam September 2018

“Parking could be improved, but a lovely cottage, good base to explore from”
Mr Foston September 2018

“Without a doubt one of the best cottages i have rented.”

I will definately return. Fantastic service from the owners. The cottage does have narrow access, but remember you are in Cornwall, i easily managed to turn a Land Rover. Loads to do, pub great, plenty of walks from the cottage door, panoramic views. Outstanding. Well done to the owners.
Tabitha E August 2018

“Lovely cottage and location”

We recently had a lovely stay at bellbine cottage. There was a welcome hamper upon arrival and the property was clean and well maintained with everything that you need available. The only thing to be aware of is the parking access and parking. If a car is lowered or the owner is particularly car proud they may have a problem as access to the parking and cottage is via a single track which is very uneven, the turning spot has plenty of room, but again, a possible problem for the particularly car proud lowered cars. But despite this, we had a great time and the location was great for exploring cornwall with many nearby harbours, Eden project, gardens, national trust properties, steam trains and many animal themed attractions.
Mrs Dodds August 2018

“This is almost a good cottage.”

The downfalls are glaringly obvious. The approach is a rough track - beyond cottage owners' control and typical of the area. What they could fix are the parking spot and path. They are treacherous. The yard is also a letdown - nothing more than weedy broken concrete. The location is good for beaches and walks. Polgooth Inn and shop both invaluable.
Mr Tivey July 2018

“The parking was ridiculous a very narrow lane above and below for acess.”

Uess your driving a tiny smart car not really accessible we ended up parking in the village the whole week ..the outside space was disappointing as we felt we were in a goldfish bowl on view constantly .the saving grace was a fantastic pub less than 5 minutes walk away ...
Mrs Maybanks June 2018

“The parking is on a gravel patch under a tree that leaves sticky residue on the car, we had to have 2 car washes to remove it.”

The cottage is quite dark inside & the back window opens into next doors garden, which is a bit bizarre. Pub is excellent and 5 minutes max walk away. Nearest beaches are not dog friendly!
Mr Smith June 2018

“Cozy cottage with a real home from home feel.”

Lovely and clean and a great base to explore Cornwall with most places around 1-1/2 hours away. Close to the local shop and the Polgooth Inn which is well worth a visit with great food and local brews,
Mrs Terrington June 2018

“Directions were poor and the parking was never mentioned apart from one car only.”

The area to part was very poor with hardcore to park on, when reversing out nearly hitting the wall behind, but for parking sensors we would have hit the wall, having to go up the lane to turn around in a wider area to come back down again. The garden area left a bit to be desired with only concrete and a bench to sit outside of the cottage. The cottage itself was very nice, apart from we could not open the lounge window as the neighbours garden was outside of this and we felt as if we had to keep the curtains closed which made it dark inside.
Mr Ringwood May 2018

“Parking is not good and were not advised about it.”

Walk from car to cottage very uneven. Pub nearby was superb. Cottage very nice
Mr Guest May 2018

“The cottage is lovely it is set in a quiet village just what we needed.”

It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a good break . The bed is so comfortable you don’t want to getup. Only slight problem is the country lane up to the cottage and the parking space. We had a great holiday thanks
Mrs Bell April 2018

“The cottage was very thoughtfully decorated and had lots of home comforts for us to use like tea bags, blankets and books.”

It is local to several villages and towns all within a short drive and Polgooth itself is just lovely.
Mrs Leeming April 2018

“The cottage was great.”

Clean, cozy and lovely. We had a superb week. Great location to major attractions like Eden Project, Lost garden of Heligan etc.. Parking could have been better. Would definitely stay here again.
Gary4445 March 2018

“Cottage very good. Parking not good.”

Cottage very comfortable, Everything you need is there. lovely welcome pack. there is a large enclosed area for the dogs. The only problem was the parking and turning. Could be a problem for some. As it is away from the cottage and the ground is very uneven it could be a problem for elderly or invalid
