    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Samantha - Verified booking

      We just had a wonderful stay with our 3 dogs at Myrtle Cottage.

      The cottage has 3 large bedrooms with plenty of space for all our stuff. It is cosy, comfortable and the smart tv was great in the evenings. I loved the 3 dog “packs” which were provided which included fluffy blanket, towel, dog bowl and jar of treats for each of my dogs. The kitchen has all the appliances and equipment you need on holiday and the practical boot cupboard and utility with washer and dryer was well used by us. The back garden is safe and secure for our dogs with fencing and gates. The location of the cottage was ideal for us. We were only a few minutes from Gwithian beach and some fabulous coastal and beach walks up to Godrevy (National Trust walk) and the lighthouse. We saw seals on the beach there. We could be in St Ives in 10 mins by car and it is so pretty and filled with lovely independent shops and restaurants. We drove to Lands End and Lizard point could explore south and west Cornwall with ease as everywhere was so close. Recommend Porthleven and Kota restaurant and the Tolcarne inn in Newlyn. Lovely walks and garden at Trengwaiton National Trust which is only 15 mins drive and great dog walk at Godolphin estate also 20 mins drive. The cottage owner Liz, was easily contactable and answered any questions we had. Would happily recommend Myrtle Cottage - especially if you have dogs ( or even if you don’t!) - as we spent a thoroughly enjoyable week there exploring Cornwall

      The cottage was not cleaned we arrived 10 minutes early and knew we would have to wait the owner told us she hadn’t hoovered yet so we waited when we got into the cottage it smelt very damp we weren’t too concerned as it was described as rustic but we weren’t prepared for the unclean cupboards the bathroom could do with a deep clean also the kitchen the door handles were sticky with grease the grill pan had grease and crumbs from the previous people the oven door was filthy the carpets were grubby the tv had a black line running through it so made watching it difficult the blanket box under the bed was covered in dust we also discovered the fridge couldn’t have been cleaned as the freezer compartment had the previous people’s food left in it and it would have nice if the lawn had been mowed overall we felt let down by this experience and if we hadn’t paid we would have left but we stuck it out till the Friday as it was our first holiday since COVID IT WAS NOT CLEANED TO A STANDARD ONE EXPECTS FROM YOUR COMPANY IN ORDINARY TIMES LET ALONE IN A PANDEMIC we had a previous holiday cottage in Scotland which was booked through you and it was everything we hoped for we feel really disappointed our holiday was not what we were hoping for and would not recommend this cottage to anyone

      Cosy cottage - v.

      clean, comfortable and well equipped with great new appliances and free Netflix.Beds were lovely. Great location and dog friendly with beach and dunes walks within short walk and supermarket less than a mile away. Really excellent. Kitchen amazingly equipped and oven was superb with an excellent pizza tray and lovely quality bamboo chopping boards, kettle, four slice toaster - now desperately seeking ones as good, especially pizza tray. A few minor points but To improve further, but in no way reflects badly as so much thought has gone into this place, - I think a couple of sunloungers would be nice - we had great weather! Also over bath electric shower is tricky to adjust to correct temperature and not tall enough to use without crouching ever so slightly. Maybe a walk in shower could be put in somewhere? Side door could not be opened fully as there was a concrete step on other side so we climbed through top half one day! Lounge and dining room could do with a few more lights as can be a little dim in the evening. The info pack was helpful but one of the restaurants has now closed and please could you add teecees diner and burgers at the local beach shed as both were excellent and good value. We had a lovely time thanks.

    • Gina - Verified booking

      This was the second time I've stayed there.

      This time for 4 weeks. I think that says it all ! The cottage was spotlessly clean when I arrived with my 5 large dogs. There was plenty of room for all of us, although the cottage was incredibly cosy. A new wood burner & a starter pack of logs, kindling,, firelighters, & matches welcomed ggʻme. .. The finer detail very important to me as I do not drive, so was unable to "pop out to the shops". Naomi & Kevin are super people & a great lover of animals which means a lot to me. They were always on call immediately, but not intrusive.A spectacular view of the immense countryside added to the relaxation of the holiday. Cottage was very well equipped, but if I was going to "nit pick" I would just say that a second smaller frying pan, would have been handy, as being on my own, the one & only very large one was a nuisance at times. Also more cleaning materials as I wanted to leave the cottage as I found it. My dogs love it there, & if they're happy, I'm happy. I was very lucky to find a very reliable, reasonable local dog walker who knew the land well so I used him for the past 2 years. He used to take them out for 2 hours everyday. A Godsend for me. All in all, a very great holiday & I cannot wait to return.

    • Emma - Verified booking

      Well presented cottage with a good level of amenities including a well equipped kitchen.

      Great quality beds and showers, very comfortable. We visited to spend time with family who live in the village but also had nice days out. No issues parking for us, also used the great bus service and trains from Redruth. Couple of minor issues, the addition of a handrail on the stairs would be helpful , especially for night time trips to the downstairs loo. Sleep was often broken by the church bells opposite chiming every hour, as lovely as they are, it took me a full week to adjust to them . Having some recycling bags to put out with the rubbish would also be good. I bought some smaller mugs (left them there for others) as the gorgeous ones supplied were too much for myself and mother in law. The vacuum cleaner was very smelly when I tried using it, the bag was full to bursting , with no other bags supplied. We also found on our first morning that both bathroom sinks and the wet room drain were blocked so they didn't drain. I couldn't understand how cleaners had not noticed this ? Cleared them and purchased drain unblockers which seemed to do the job. We have stayed in a few cottages in the village over the years and this is by far the nicest .
