"I would highly recommend this delightful cottage."
I only gave 9 rather than a 10 due to recommendation could only be made to those with good physical ability. The spiral staircase could be difficult to negotiate as it is narrow and limited headroom. But we loved it!
Cottage is full of character and has everything you need and more!
Log burner is a delight and made our nights in very cosy. Firelighters, sticks and some logs where available to start us off.
Location is quiet with a long lane for walking our dog early morning and her evening relief lol.
Lovely little enclosed court yard type garden, up some steps where we sat star gazing.
Bed really comfy and whole cottage clean.
Only negative comment would be the shower. Although it worked I would replace with a normal electric shower with 1 shower head and removing the rain rose as the pressure is quite low, but that is a minor criticism.
I will certainly book here again!

"I loved the cottage and the area, folks so friendly!"
Cottage had really nice feeling about it,
Clean and welcoming, cream tea , milk and tea all there!!!
Just need to park carefully! Or by village green!
It is tiny and cosy! Need to be reasonably mobile as stairs need care!
I have a spiral staircase at home, so no problem for us!
Garden was cute! Had breakfast outdoors !!
And black cat came and visited us!
Very rural, cockerel and foxes nearby and bats at dusk!
Loved lying in bed and watching the stars!
Thankyou for our lovely stay, it is a real chill out zone !

"Parking not as bad as people say if you can drive/park a car."
A lot of cob webs but cottage of an age so to be expected, a lot of dead bugs round the window so not cleaned well. Also had to clean the oven and clean/remove medication from the fridge.
Very disappointing to not get a welcome pack for the money paid.

"We booked a two week stay and only stayed 5 nights."
When it says caution regarding the stairs they weren’t wrong they are steep along with the added danger of being carousel. If you are claustrophobic don’t book this very very tiny cottage. Sleeps three, most certainly not suitable for small children. The outside area for sitting is very untidy and not secure for a toddler or dogs - no gate onto a busy tiny road. The car parking is very small and our car was stuck out by 2ft with tractors, delivery van etc going by. We even spoke to the owner whom reassured us our car would fit. (Lies) Don’t let Sykes push you into speaking to the owner just listen to your instincts and trust the reviews. We stripped the beds when we were leaving only to find very badly stained quilts etc, just made us feel unclean. Only small bath towel and hand towels- no bath sheets for the taller, stockier person. We traveled 400 miles to be there and left saddened and shocked for the £1700 we paid for this horrid experience.

"Had a week in this property in June this year."
The area is perfect, quiet and when you did meet a local they were very friendly. The issues we had were, the parking space is very small, the washer/dryer did not dry our clothes, a clothes line or airer would be a good addition (especially with the energy prices), the photos are out of date as the living room has a very dark grey wall, this makes the room very dark and cold, and there is no rug, the floor is very cold. I appreciate the cottage is old, we had to buy logs as even in June the living room/kitchen was freezing. Overall the property is well equipped, we enjoyed our stay and it was an ideal location.

"We thoughly enjoyed our week in the cottage."
It is in a lovely quiet rural hamlet but within easy driving distance of many popular locations and the A30 and A39. The property is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The spiral staircase is a bit tight but otherwise no problems.
Nearby St Columb Major has some useful shops.
An excellent place to stay.

"It was a lovely location and the cottage was well equipped."
The disappointing things where that we couldn’t let our dog straight out into the garden, because it’s separated from the house by a small communicable footpath and open to the lane directly, so our pet had to be on a lead to guide him to the garden at all times.
But most importantly was the cleanliness of the property,, the shower grout was awful being brown stained from lime scale especially around the bottom of the tray and the bottom parts of the tiles.
There was dust everywhere, although I know dust can collect it was actually terrible on the light fittings and there where momentous from previous tenants in the form of odds sock and childs painted stone in the main bedroom which I found getting into bed, it was partially under the bed. There are stained walls in the front room that look like damp also.
We did find out that the spiral staircase as charming as it is,, is very difficult to take your cases up and my poor husband being 6,3 hit his head constantly.
Overall we did enjoy our stay, but did feel let down by mainly the cleanliness.

"The cottage is lovely and very well equipped."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location excellent for visiting the north coast. The only concern I would have is that the circular staircase is steep and not very wide. My husband and myself are of relatively slim build and it was not a problem but larger person may struggle with the stairs.

"Absolutely superb cottage for the 2 of us, great BBQ / terrace area at the back."
The provision of milk, scones jam and Cornish cream, together with coffee pods etc on arrival is a very welcome gesture.
Quiet rural location, but beware of the noisy cockerel which seemingly gets vocal from 3am! Care needed on the feature circular staircase and the shower room could do with a shelf over the sink, but otherwise all areas beautifully modernised and thoughtfully colour coordinated.
The nearby village of St Columb Major has a very useful Co-op, excellent Chinese takeaway and the Ring-O-Bells pub does exceptionally good food, as does the Falcon Inn in nearby St Mawgan.

"Your photo's of Cobs Cottage is very misleading inside and out, ie."
you took a long shot of the outside of the house which looks like we are getting a good size rental property, but when we came around the corner it was very small for the price we paid. Inside the shower room it was to small and the shower itself was not powerful enough, also the hand wash basin was to small. There was no electric power point to plug a shaver into. As we only used the main bedroom it could do with a very good cob webbing. Outside the property the car parking space is to small for our large car as i was asked to move it twice to allow large lorry's through, i could not reverse it back to the wall as i would have blocked the access to next doors property.
Overall we could not class this property as a 5 star rental home but more like a 4 star.
