    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Anita - Verified booking

      We would strongly recommend Sheila's Cottage to anyone wanting to visit Penryn/Falmouth/Truro coastline, or further afield.

      It truly is a lovely 'home from home' experience. Everything, was so cosy, clean and welcoming. Graeme and Gail left us a bottle of wine, fresh flowers, chocolates and treats for our dog, as well as even laying the fire in the log burner ready for us. Central heating through-out, which was timed perfectly, so that we were always warm in October. Even extra niceties, such as fresh milk in the fridge, the little things you might forget to take such as cooking oil, condiments ect all provided. This was on top of all cleaning products provided, including dishwasher and washing machine tabs. Extremely comfortable bed, pillows ect. This cottage has it all, including peace and quiet if you need a restful break. It also has a lovely conservatory, with comfortable seating to put your feet up and enjoy the evenings drawing in, in comfort. Cards, games, CDs, DVDs also provided if you want to fill some time. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I mistakenly left my hairdryer and kindle behind and they kindly informed me and posted it out to me the same day, wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. Also, sitiated close to all amenities and dog friendly beaches in half term. Quite frankly, in our experience we can honestly say that the whole week was made for us with such a lovely clean, inviting and cosy cottage to return to each day. Thank you Graeme and Gail for a lovely holiday that we both felt was a breath of fresh air for us, as well as extremely good value for money. This cottage surpassed all our expectations, thank you! It is definitely on our radar for return visits.

    • Emma - Verified booking

      Well presented cottage with a good level of amenities including a well equipped kitchen.

      Great quality beds and showers, very comfortable. We visited to spend time with family who live in the village but also had nice days out. No issues parking for us, also used the great bus service and trains from Redruth. Couple of minor issues, the addition of a handrail on the stairs would be helpful , especially for night time trips to the downstairs loo. Sleep was often broken by the church bells opposite chiming every hour, as lovely as they are, it took me a full week to adjust to them . Having some recycling bags to put out with the rubbish would also be good. I bought some smaller mugs (left them there for others) as the gorgeous ones supplied were too much for myself and mother in law. The vacuum cleaner was very smelly when I tried using it, the bag was full to bursting , with no other bags supplied. We also found on our first morning that both bathroom sinks and the wet room drain were blocked so they didn't drain. I couldn't understand how cleaners had not noticed this ? Cleared them and purchased drain unblockers which seemed to do the job. We have stayed in a few cottages in the village over the years and this is by far the nicest .

    • Chris - Verified booking

      A truly relaxing break in a beautiful cottage.

      Dowager Cottage isn't normal, there's no doubt about that! It's sort of upside down, with 2 floors that both lead to ground level - weird right? This just adds to the charm - this place is amazing. Every detail is perfect - comfy furniture and beds, loads of big fluffy towels, throws for the dogs, a beautiful kitchen and superb interior design and decoration. Arriving to find a box of fresh doughnuts, some milk in the fridge and a cookery book open to the Cornish Pasty page were excellent little touches. Just 5 mins from Falmouth and the same from Flushing, there are loads of places to explore and in even in the worst weather you know you will be coming home to a warm and comfortable house to relax. Definitely dog friendly, our sausage dog has just as much fun as we did. We'll be back and I will definitely be recommending Dowager Cottage as a lovely place to stay in Cornwall.

    • Ronnie - Verified booking

      Sheila’s Cottage was perfect in every way.

      Quiet, picturesque surroundings in the owners garden. The cottage, with its super conservatory a bonus, had everything needed for a great relaxing break. We wanted for nothing, there was plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking gear galore….all spotless. Decorated in a cosy fashion…lots of cupboards containing fascinating items, and plenty of books and games etc. Kitchen was amazing and cooker was easy to work. Shower was lovely and powerful in the en-suite bathroom. Plenty of storage space…in a fitted wardrobe. Graeme and Gail were lovely hosts who left us milk, chocolates and wine, and we left with a cutting of a very unusual plant!! A top notch property….we loved it here!

    • Mrs Brown - Verified booking

      Heatherbell is a lovely cottage in a superb location. It is literally a 5 minute walk down to Trevaunance Cove and a few minutes from The Driftwood Spars and The Schooners, both serving great food and drink. In the other direction, 5 minutes will take you to Q cafe, which serves tasty breakfasts and lunches. The cottage itself is comfortable, particularly the bedrooms, also very light and spacious. The kitchen is slightly under equipped if you intend to cook many meals. There is a lovely space outside the cottage at the front, well set back from the road, ideal for sunny afternoons and eating alfresco. Overall we had a lovely week in Heatherbell.
