Guests say

Hillside Cottage in Cornwall offers a cosy and welcoming stay with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and high-quality bedding. Guests appreciate the property's charm, the wood-burning fire, and the lovely garden with estuary views. The location is praised for its proximity to beaches, walks, and a local pub. Some guests mention thoughtful touches like a cream tea on arrival.

Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage clean and well-presented, while others report issues with pet hair, a grimy kitchen, and a dirty shower curtain. The presence of both positive and negative comments leads to a slightly above-average score.

The location is highly regarded for its proximity to local amenities, lovely walks, and a nearby pub. The scenic views and easy access to the beach contribute to a high score in this category.

Guests frequently describe the cottage as warm, cosy, and inviting, with comfortable beds and a wood-burning fire adding to the comfort. However, some concerns about the heating system and a downstairs bathroom for some guests slightly lower the score.

The property is well-equipped with modern appliances and offers a garden with BBQ facilities. However, maintenance issues like blocked guttering, a damaged fence, and a lack of heating control are noted, leading to a good but not excellent score.

Several guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a cream tea on arrival and treats for dogs, which are well-received. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, the score reflects the positive impact of these touches while acknowledging their occasional nature.

Crafthole is a beautiful village in southeast Cornwall, situated on the Rame Peninsula. Sheviock Parish is home to a charming little village with a country pub, a general store, a chapel, a post office, and a community centre. This sneaky village gained notoriety in the 19th century for smuggling rum through the Portwrinkle harbour and up the long and steep hill to Crafthole Methodist Chapel. Portwrinkle is a beautiful seaside village that features a large golf course, sandy beaches, and a historic building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Grade II listed building). There are many wonderful places to visit in the area, such as the bustling city of Plymouth, the charming seaside town of Looe, and the picturesque fishing villages of Millbrook and Downderry. Antony is a small town close by that is a popular tourist destination due to its many tourist attractions, including its gardens, museums, boat trips, and opportunities for hiking and biking along the cliffs. If you're touring the Cornish coast and need a peaceful respite, Crafthole is a great choice.

    Thank you soooooo much !

  • Emma

    The cottage was very well equipped with everything you would need for a holiday. Thank you for the cream tea on arrival and the dog treats. The garden is bigger than the pictures with several seating areas and grass for the dogs.
