What our customers say about their holidays

Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

We loved the Roseland area and the location of Sally Port Cottage directly on the South-West Coast path was perfect for walking and access to the Fal ferries as well as further visits to Helligan and the Eden project. The lighthouse cottage was in an amazing location and for the most part it was very well furnished and comfortable.The excellent welcome hamper including scones, jam and clotted cream was a lovely surprise. However we did have a few issues which I'm sure Rural Retreats could rectify: - Access instructions are not clear. We arrived in the pouring rain and did not want to get soaked finding the right path. Parking is in a National Trust car park with pay and display machines and a sign saying the gate is shut at sunset. We had to call Lesley, the housekeeper, who wasn't aware that the car park had ever been closed and said that there was no need to pay. Why not state this in the instructions? The path to the cottage is behind the information board as stated but there are two paths. The one on the left signed "Coast Path, Place, Battery and Observation Hide" goes down quite steeply with several steps, the one on the right "Wheelchair Accessible" is on the level but meets up further down with the other path and much easier with wheeled luggage. You then have to ignore the turning to the left to the "Battery and Observation Hide" and carry on downwards towards the Coast Path. Once at the bottom (it is very steep and slippery when wet), the Coast Path is to the right (signed) and the Lighthouse to the left with no sign at all. - The Lounge furniture has been recently changed. It is very comfortable but the lighting is terrible as the lamp has been removed. It is impossible to read books in the evening or look at maps. - the kitchen is well equipped but the knives were very blunt and there is no draining rack. Not everything goes in the dishwasher. - Although this cottage is advertised as having wifi, neither the wifi nor the telephone provided for local and emergency calls were working. We could just about get a mobile phone signal by the lounge window and also above the patio - when the rain stopped!

The location of Puffin Cottage is perfect and the views are wonderful.

It was lovely to sit on the window seat in the bedroom to watch the views over the harbour. It is a very steep walk up to the cottage but we were made aware of this and it did not pose too much of a problem. There is no available parking near to the cottage which is a challenge when offloading luggage. Again, we were made aware of this. Puffin Cottage is extremely clean and comfortable but we did experience a few minor issues. When we arrived, there were no keys in the key holder but after a phone call to housekeeper, she arrived with a key within 10 minutes. We had only one key to the outer porch door and nothing for the front door - this did not really pose a problem but, had I stayed at the cottage alone (without my husband), I would have felt vulnerable leaving the front door unlocked. There was a very long list of instructions which we were made aware of after booking. Shoes must be removed indoors, all surfaces are covered with protective fabric - the tables, the sofas, the window seats and the dressing table, which seems a little excessive. The main bedroom has a very large comfortable bed with beautiful white bed linen. However, the bed is a little too large for the room and there is only one bedside table. It is a real squeeze to get past the wardrobe as this is so close to the bed. Both bedrooms would be much more comfortable if the locked cupboards could be opened and used as storage which would clear more space. We stayed in the cottage from 28th December over the New Year period and were a little disappointed that there were no festive decorations and no welcome pack. The bathrooms are extremely clean and the fixtures high quality with powerful showers. The kitchen is very well kitted out but we were disappointed with the chunky heavy wine glasses so we purchased 4 wine glasses for our use and left them for the owner to keep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Puffin Cottage but we did feel that we were staying in the owners home, with the locked cupboards and the protected surfaces, rather than being welcomed as paying guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay in Puffin Cottage.

Although it states it is a compact cottage, there is everything you need for an enjoyable stay and there was ample space for 4 adults. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed. It is at the top of a very steep hill, but well worth the climb for the magnificent views over the harbour. I would say that if you are not very fit or fully mobile, this is probably not an ideal location for you. The second bedroom on the ground floor which is a double, does not have much space around the bed, but is perfectly adequate and the comfort of the bed makes up for the lack of space. There is no wardrobe in the second bedroom, but it does have hanging space and 2 large drawers under the bed for storing clothes. We did not have a problem with this and my husband does tend to overpack!!! There is plenty of space and storage in the king sized room upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped and outside the kitchen is a lovely decked patio area with a table and 4 chairs for al fresco dining. There are lovely pubs/hotels in St Mawes where you can eat (we did have to book due to Covid19) but managed to get in. It is a lovely walk along the harbour front with beautiful views and plenty of space to sit on the beach. This is very pebbly in places, but so lovely. A small harbour town, relatively quiet but perfect. We would definitely return to St Mawes and Puffin Cottage. Excellent!!!!!

What a fantastic venue to chill out away from all the hassle and hoards of holidaymakers. Sally Port Cottage has all the charm, peace and fabulous views that anyone could wish for. If you are into bird life and walking as we are, then it is surely the perfect location. The cottage is equipped with everything that one requires, even down to ear plugs in case of foggy conditions across the estuary. The nearest beach is only half a mile walk along the coastal path and there are lots of interesting places to explore. The write up on Sally Port Cottage does explain about the parking arrangements in the National Trust car park, high up on Saint Anthony’s head and the need to transport your cases and belongings down a steep path to the lighthouse. If there is one thing that overshadows this fabulous place, it would be, hauling your suitcases, firstly down the hill on your arrival then the thought of having to drag them back up again at the end of your stay. Some kind of motorised aid for assisting with visitors luggage would really be a great idea, even better, an electric ride on buggy for the elderly or unfit! I have rated the cottage five stars but purely for the climb back and forth, I would have to reduce this by half a star.
