Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage clean and welcoming, while others reported issues with pet hair, a grimy kitchen, and a dirty shower curtain. The presence of both positive and negative feedback suggests that cleanliness levels may vary.
The location is highly praised for its fantastic views, proximity to the estuary, local walks, and a welcoming pub. The convenience of having a shop nearby and the charm of Cornwall's narrow roads contribute to the positive experience, although the beach is not as close as some expected.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the cottage warm and cosy, especially with the wood burning fire. However, some have mentioned issues with the heating system and the inconvenience of having the bathroom downstairs.
The cottage is well-equipped with a modern kitchen, appliances, and multiple TVs with streaming services. However, there are concerns about maintenance, such as blocked gutters, a damaged fence, and a lack of clothes storage. The garden's steepness and accessibility have also been noted.
While some guests mentioned receiving a cream tea on arrival and a welcome pack, there are not enough reviews referencing such gestures to accurately assess the consistency of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Crafthole is a beautiful village in southeast Cornwall, situated on the Rame Peninsula. Sheviock Parish is home to a charming little village with a country pub, a general store, a chapel, a post office, and a community centre. This sneaky village gained notoriety in the 19th century for smuggling rum through the Portwrinkle harbour and up the long and steep hill to Crafthole Methodist Chapel.

A great location, near golf course2 x walkable beaches and best of all a great pub Finnygook Inn 3 min walk. Kitchen big, clean well stocked with equipment from scales to a nespresso machine. It would have been good to have a heads up on the description of how much equipment was in cottage. For example I packed a hairdryer, which wasnât needed. We didnât bring any nespresso cartridges, but would have, if known. I would recommend this cottage to everyone: comfortable with a touch of class.

So much so weve booked again for next year!! We felt right at home the cottage has a super relaxed atmosphere. It's equipped with everything you need and more!! Super clean. A stone throw away from the finnygook pub which is the most loveliest pub, staff so friendly and welcoming and the food is to die for!! The lady in the shop next door is so lovely and helpful also.The location is perfect, not too far from beaches the national trust walks and Looe. We had our tesco shopping delivered aswell which allowed us to soak up the beauty of the garden while we waited. The garden was perfect for my 2 dogs. Contact with Ella & Michelle was excellent. I did not want to leave!! Thank you so much
