10/10 Excellent
"Das Haus ist super niedlich und gemütlich. Man hat alles was braucht. Die Gastgeber sind sehr lieb, aufmerksam und unaufdringlich und geben gute Tipps, speziell für den Ort selbst. Ich persönlich hatte mir die Terrasse etwas sonniger vorgestellt und mit etwas mehr Weitblick. Liegt jedoch eher in einer Art Souterrain."

"Traumhaft schön! Der 'Old Coach' ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und außerordentlich liebevoll restauriert worden. Die Bilder im Netz geben den wahren Wert dieses wunderschönen Ortes nicht wider. Hier herrscht absolute Ruhe, obwohl in 20 m Entfernung ein Gehege mit Laufenten und Ziegen ist, hörst du in der Nacht keinen Mucks. Die Tiere sind sehr entspannt, und es macht Spaß, ihnen morgens beim Frühstück auf der Terasse beim Leben zuzusehen. Von der Terrasse des Old Coach kann man sogar das Meer sehen, und das idyllische Cadgwith ist in 10 min über das grandiose hauseigene Terrain und den Coast Path zu erreichen. Wir waren eine Woche bei bestem Wetter (22 und Sonne) dort. Also ideale Bedingungen! Auch die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und entspannt. Wir kommen gerne wieder."

Holly Cottage @ Arrowan Common Farm

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Holly Cottage, which was set in an ideal location and perfectly suited our family of 8. We hired the full complex of cottages, and Holly Cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time together as a family. The cottage itself was extremely well equipped, thoughtfully laid out and had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The décor was modern, tasteful and welcoming, and the whole cottage was immaculately clean on arrival, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. There was ample parking available for all guests, and the information booklet provided was very useful, with clear instructions and plenty of helpful local information and recommendations. It was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into ensuring guests had a smooth and enjoyable experience. The hosts were fantastic throughout — very attentive and excellent with communication. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and the entire check-in and check-out process was easy, straightforward and completely stress-free. Overall, we could not fault our stay at Holly Cottage. It exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort, cleanliness, location and hospitality, and we would absolutely recommend it to others looking for a peaceful family getaway. We are already looking forward to returning again in the very near future."
