Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property clean and inviting, with a well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests reported issues with floor cleanliness and maintenance of the log burner, which suggests room for improvement.
The cottage's location in a quiet village is highly regarded, with friendly locals and proximity to amenities. The scenic surroundings and easy access to tourist areas add to the appeal, although the closure of the nearby pub was noted.
Guests enjoyed the comfortable and roomy bedrooms, with several noting the quality of sleep. Some issues with bed linen fitting properly were mentioned, indicating a need for attention to detail in this area.
Facilities such as the pool table and garden were appreciated, but recurring comments about missing pool balls, broken cues, and garden safety concerns indicate that maintenance could be enhanced to improve guest satisfaction.
While some guests mentioned receiving a cake upon arrival, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately assess this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
In Lanreath, a fine, Grade II listed, south-facing cottage over two levels, mentioned in the Domesday Book, flanked by equally ancient cottages. Step through the front door into a big hall with a wood-burning stove in its inglenook fireplace, slate floor, leather window seat and pool table; walk through glazed doors into the large living room with polished wood floor and leather sofas, then through to the fitted oak kitchen with dining table and chairs, slate floor and utility room with toilet. Head upstairs to four bedrooms: two king-size doubles, one with en suite shower-room, a twin, and a single with additional z-bed; family bathroom. In front, there is a neat walled garden; at the back, a large, mostly lawned garden on two levels with patio (table/chairs, barbecue) which can be lit at night for romantic dining (from the back door there are 2 steps up to cobbles, then 2 further steps up to first tier of lawn and patio, and 11 slate steps up to further lawn - rope hand rail). A wonderful, well-equipped cottage in every respect with lots to see in the area including nearby popular fishing villages of Looe and Polperro. PO/shop within walking distance. Good walking country. Eden Project, 12 miles.

All the facilities you need, so very well stocked. We stayed as a group of 6 adults, ages from 46 years to 83 years. All had a fabulous comfortable stay. The garden was great for the huskies, with a lovely porch area for them to sleep. The older generation found the garden tricky to walk on, but as we visited during the winter this was not a problem as too cold for them. They took a stroll up to the village shop to grab the paper and were more than happy with that. If doing the same break we would definitely choose Samuelâs cottage again.
