Guests consistently commend the cottage for its exceptional cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting this aspect positively. The property is described as clean and welcoming, contributing to a relaxing and stress-free holiday.
The location is praised for being a good base for exploring North Cornwall and for maintaining a quiet stay. It is noted as not too far from the coast and convenient for visiting other places, although one review mentioned limited local amenities in Camelford.
Comfort is a strong point for Lily Cottage, with guests finding the beds particularly comfortable and the overall furnishing to a high standard. The provision of multiple bathrooms and comfortable sofas also contributed to a relaxing experience.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-appointed house and a nice welcome pack mentioned. However, the score is slightly lowered due to a reported plumbing issue, which, despite being addressed, did cause some inconvenience.
While the reviews indicate that the hosts are considerate, providing a clean and well-equipped cottage, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under this category. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

Every think in the cottage is top quality . Every think you need home from home . Very clean beds comfy . The cottage is in an ideal situation close to most any weâre you want to go for site seeing . Nice little village corner shop handy if you need any think. Would highly recommend .electric stove and oven could do with a little moor information on how to use it as it took me a little bit to sort it out as I have never used one before . But great stay . Highly recommend

Great location for visiting other places, beds were super comfy, (so much so my parents have purchased the same mattress that was on their bed as soon as the returned home!) We were 2 families staying so each had our own bathroom facilities and my 12 year old slept in the bunk room and he too had his own cloakroom. Great for dogs too We would love to come back to stay at Lily Cottage next time we come to Cornwall Thank you

The cottage is a lovely base for exploring this part of Cornwall and we will definitely be returning. The whole cottage is furnished and equipped to a high standard making our holiday relaxing and stress free. Having 3 bathrooms helped too, bedrooms and sofaâs all comfortable. We would definitely recommend.
