A lovely cottage with a homely feel

A group of friends down for a sports competition in Redruth. Communication from the owner was fantastic with any questions answered very quickly. We didnt really explore the area but the location was exactly what we needed for getting to Redruth. Facilities in the house were good and it was very comfortable.

Comfy place for a short stay.

Sweet little cottage with a very nice enclosed garden, well equipped and in a good location for accessing some great places. Only downside was that the bathroom and toilet are downstairs so if you need the loo at night the stairs can be tricky if you’re a bit less mobile. Otherwise a lovely stay.

Perfect Location

We had a really lovely holiday here, our thanks to Chrissy for providing such a great place to stay. The location is spot on and ideal for those lazy days to relax and enjoy the wonderfully kept garden and beautiful surroundings beyond; or for exploring this stunning part of Cornwall. Our stay was made smooth from booking to arrival with great comms from Chrissy, Sue & Scott. The cottage is just right and deceptively larger than it looks, and is homely and a pleasant place to be. We would definitely stay again.

Great for our post-Christmas time in west Cornwall

Very nice, liked all the rooms and the enclosed garden, though this was a bit cold for December, but fine for the little dog. The cottage was warm, was impressed with the storage heaters, and the front room could easily heated in the evening with the dinky log burner. Everything you needed was there. Very handy for Hayle (shops, takeaways) and the nearby coast and also for venturing further afield. Suited us fine for spending time with the family who'd congregated in the area for a post-Christmas get together.

Lovely cosy cottage

Really lovely, homely cottage with beautiful garden which was great for just sitting & reading in. Quiet location but within easy reach by car to busier spots. St Ives is picture postcard perfection, with lovely beaches, cafes, restaurants & shops. The beaches nearby at Gwithian are fab for walks & splashing in the waves under the watchful eye of the lifeguards, with a couple of great cafes for lunch too. We took a longer drive to Lizard Point one day and walked a bit of the coastal path which was stunning. Penzance feels more like a working town, we enjoyed walking along the seafront, having coffees & pottering about the shops before doing a fairly stressful but picturesque drive round the single track coast road.

Wonderful

Truly beautiful and spacious cottage, everything was just right. If we return to Cornwall, we would certainly stay here again if possible. Chrissy was very easy to approach through VRBO, all information was given to us before our stay. Sue's just a lovely lady, introduced herself and was only across the road if we needed anything. Which we didn't as everything we needed was at the cottage. Thank you Chrissy and Sue

Charming and perfectly-located Cornish hideaway!

What a lovely cottage! The photos do not do it justice--big spacious double bedrooms with very comfy beds and a cute single, two roomy living rooms both with ample seating and cosy log burners, a delightful garden and wonderful artful details throughout (hues of blue everywhere: from the selection of mugs on the wall, dishes in the cupboard, simple framed postcards, and stacks of books on the bedside tables which are also all cleverly sea or sleep-themed) made it a wonderful space for our group of 5 plus our labrador. The location is just brilliant too. Gwinear is a quiet traditional local village perfectly located just a few minutes up the hill and seemingly miles away from the traffic. Within a ten minute drive you have access to stunning coast with walks to and beyond Godrevy Lighthouse where you can spot seals (recommend the National Trust cafe in the car park) and to the Upton Towans Nature Reserve with its fantastic network of dunes (free parking and great for dogs and kids!) leading to the three miles of gorgeous unspoilt beaches of Hayle/Upton Towans. So many other beautiful spots in SW Cornwall are within an easy drive as you are beautifully positioned to reach either coast. We had a fab day out exploring St. Michael's Mount and the coastal villages along the way to the magical Minack Theatre (Penzance, Newlyn, Mousehole) where we bundled up and enjoyed the first of the season's productions. Another day we hiked around the whole end of the Lizard Peninsula rewarded with glorious scenery, pasties at Kynance Cove and cream tea at Lizard Point--very easy hike, just the bit from Church Cove (darling!) along to Marconi's Wireless Hut, the RNLI station (very cool!) and back to the Lighthouse is steep in parts. We thoroughly enjoyed St. Ives too with its lovely galleries and shops--and one day my husband took the kids out on a fishing trip and brought home mackeral for dinner! My husband and I also tackled the Zennor to St. Ives section of the SW Coastal Path--3-4 hours of breathtaking views and a very good leg workout! We have come home refreshed and inspired by all the beauty of Britain--a wonderful pick-me-up after the long grey winter! Thank you Chrissy!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottages

In diesem Haus hat es an nichts gefehlt. Der Garten war sehr schön gestaltet. Die Betten sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und das Sofa war leider schon sehr durchgesessen. Ansonsten hat jeder immer einen Rückzugsort gefunden und zum Essen und Spielen sind wir am Esstisch mit einem tollen Blick in den Garten wieder zusammen gekommen. Eine Investition in eine richtige Kaffeemaschine wäre sehr zu empfehlen. Vom Haus aus gibt es mehrere Wanderwege und ebenso ist ein guter Startpunkt für andere weiter entfernte Ziele in alle Himmelsrichtungen. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin hat super funktioniert.

Wir haben einen ganz wunderbaren Familienurlaub im Cottage in Gwinear verbracht und wären sehr gerne noch länger geblieben. Die Lage hat sich für uns bewährt, ruhig und abseits von Touristenströmen, aber in der Nähe zu tollen Stränden in Gwithian und Godrevy und anderen interessanten Zielen. Im Cottage war alles so gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Auch die Kinder haben sich in ihren Zimmern sehr wohlgefühlt. Nicht zu vergessen der schöne Garten, wo wir jeden Morgen den ersten Tee mit Blick über die Felder genossen haben. Herzliche Grüße und hoffentlich bis bald in Gwinear!
