Snaptrip says
Five Elements Cottage in Cornwall is highly praised for its idyllic location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped facilities, including a hot tub, and appreciated the thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree for festive stays. The cottage's peaceful setting and proximity to coastal walks and amenities in Truro and St Agnes make it a desirable holiday spot, despite some concerns about steps and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage received high commendations for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its tidy and well-maintained state upon arrival.
The location is celebrated for its tranquillity and convenience, offering easy access to local attractions and coastal walks, though some noted the approach road is rough.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of cosy rooms and comfortable beds, although a few guests noted low ceilings and steps as minor inconveniences.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests suggested improvements in Wi-Fi service and the addition of a tumble dryer.
While guests appreciated the extra touches like a Christmas tree, there is insufficient information to determine if such thoughtful gestures are consistent across all stays, so a score cannot be provided.

The cottage is beautiful and the perfect mix of old and new. It was clean, comfortable and very well set out. We were a family of 7 and had more than enough space. We surfed, hiked, cooked lovely food, relaxed by the log burner and in the hot tub. 4 of us attended a wonderful yoga class with Sari, which we would highly recommend. She very carefully crafted the class to a mix of abilities - some who had practiced yoga for years and anotherâs first time. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Sari and Oli for the wonderful stay.

So cosy and comfortable. We did manage the hot tub although the weather was terrible - wind and rain in common with most of the country. We went on lots of beach walks and were within easy reach of Truro so could celebrate at the Cathedral which was lovely. Sari and Oli were very helpful. Highly recommend.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, a true home away from home with everything one could wish for. The owners were incredibly accommodating, and there was plenty of space for us and our two dogs. The views were breathtaking, and we especially enjoyed the beautiful log burner and hot tub. The central location allowed us to easily explore the entire south coast of Cornwall, and the local walks with our dogs were nothing short of amazing. We can't wait to come back again.
