Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the cottage clean and cosy, with a few noting areas for improvement such as dust and dead insects. The sofa's cleanliness was questioned by one guest. Overall, the property is well-regarded for its cleanliness, but there is room for attention to detail.

The cottage's location is frequently commended for being peaceful and convenient for exploring Cornwall. Its proximity to attractions and the quiet setting are highlights, although some guests suggest more information on local amenities would be beneficial.

Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a super comfy bed and good heating. Some guests mention the property being smaller than expected and issues with steep stairs and low ceilings, which may affect those with mobility issues.

The cottage is equipped with necessary facilities, including a washing machine and dryer. However, some guests mention a lack of cooking utensils and issues with the WiFi and TV. The garden and common land nearby are appreciated for relaxation and dog walking.

Many guests mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs with cider, wine, and sometimes fresh eggs. Fresh flowers and scented candles are also noted. While these gifts are warmly received, they are subject to availability and not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

St Austell 2.5 miles. This cosy, semi-detached cottage is 200 years old and is a beautiful blend of old and new. Set beside the owner's home and their large gardens and paddock, it is situated in the village of Penwithick, a short drive from St Austell and just three miles from the fantastic Eden Project. Set back from the heart of the village up a long tarmac track, a short walk from the convenience store and fish and chip shop, this wonderful little property is a lovely, romantic base for couples to explore Cornwall. The front door opens directly into a small, pretty open plan living area with a deep, comfy sofa beside the window and a beautiful, modern kitchen with a Belfast sink. There are wooden overhead beams and a stunning, stone feature fireplace set in the far wall. Upstairs, there is a shower room and a charming double bedroom with lovely countryside views from the window and a stunning, original stained glass window set between the bedroom and hallway. There is also a pretty, decorative heater above the bed and a large wardrobe so you can fully unpack and really make yourselves at home at Longview. Outside, to the front of the cottage is a large lawned area shared with the owners, as well as a private seating area directly in front of the cottage. In the summer, this make a fantastic spot to sit out with dinner, or enjoy a glass of wine as you enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this superb location. There is ample off-road parking and the Eden Project can be reached by foot across fields from the back of the property. This area of Cornwall is incredible, with so much to see and do. The Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes of the Eden Project are an absolute must-visit, and you can visit St Austell, the delightful Charlestown and enjoy beach days at Carlyon Bay. Slightly further afield is Newquay and Perranporth, Truro, Mevagissey and Looe. Also The Cornish Way Clay Trails are nearby with over 200 miles of inter-linking walk and cycle paths to enjoy. The Polperro Heritage Coast is excellent for walking enthusiasts, whilst the village of Polperro itself is a wonderful day out. Infamous for its smuggling tales, there is a museum, shops, restaurants and you can take fishing trips from the harbour. However you choose to spend your holiday, this delightful little cottage will certainly be the cherry on top of your Cornish getaway!

The small, quiet village of Penwithick is situated quite centrally to Cornwall, two and a half miles from St Austell. The village has a convenience store, a fish and chip shop and a Post Office on the main road running through it, and is a wonderful base for exploring the local area.
