We had a lovely three night stay at Tamsin's Cottage. Lesley was a great host. The cottage was as described, we were lucky with the hot weather and were able to enjoy the views and eat outside each day. The hot tub was a welcome treat in the evenings. The cottage itself was plenty big enough for our family of four and is finished to a high-spec. Lesley provided lots of extras such as tea & coffee and some delicious home made scones. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would love to stay again.
If you want a beautiful, fully equipped,home from home away from ‘life’ this is the place. Far enough away from everything to totally relax, but close enough to get essentials and explore amazing Cornwall.The property was spotlessly clean and interior is to a very high standard.The welcome pack of fresh scones, milk, eggs, jam and clotted cream as well as stocked essentials was a wonderful surprise.Lesley came to see us once we had settled and was so welcoming and happy to offer to help with anything we needed.We quality hot tub was the icing on the cake, such a great way to relax after exploring all that the area has to offer.We hope to return in the future.An absolute gem !
Overall a lovely property in a beautiful setting. A few ideas to improve the visitor experience - a porch for hanging/storing wet weather gear or a drying rack.Very nice to have separate bedrooms, both en suite. The smaller shower room was small - folding door on the shower would help!!Slightly bigger dining table for jigsaw puzzles or a coffee table.No instructions for the induction hob, or if there were, we couldn’t find them! Hot tub was LUSH!!All in all, we had a wonderful week. Thank you.
Host was brilliant with a lovely hamper and flowers thank you , fell in love with the cottage situated in a perfect place. Log burner and hot tub was amazing, very relaxing week and will be back
Tamsin cottage is the perfect place to both relax and explore from, perfectly located in the cornish countryside away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to attractions and places of interest to be able to go exploring. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you would ever need for a home from home stay, it's spacious but cosy and the hamper is a lovely welcoming gift. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dog to be able to be outside with us while we were relaxing in the private hot tub or dining on the garden furniture and the views from the cottage garden are beautiful. Communication from the host is very good, the cottage is next door to the hosts home, we didnt have any problems with anything but Lesley told us to just knock on their door if we needed anything. Even though the cottage is next door to the hosts home you have complete privacy. We plan to return to Tamsins cottage. Would definitely recommend this host and property.
Beautiful cottage, with everything you could wish for and more, there was nothing we wanted that was not already there. I could not recommend more highly, a definite 10/10 from me and my family. The owner was so thoughtful, lots of little extra's on arrival, even for our dog!
A lovely, charming cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautifully situated, peaceful & quiet and the perfect location for exploring Devon abd Cornwall. The hosts couldn't do enough to make our stay extra special and hot tub was great.
The cottage has everything you need and provides a welcoming homely environment. We stayed with family we had not been with for many years visiting other family members and enjoying some of the many things Cornwall has to offer. Excellent base would stay again
Fantastic stay, lovely quiet location, but with only a short drive to some amazing beaches / places. Great cottage and a lovely welcome pack provided by the owners to greet us, which was very kind and much appreciated!
Would highly recommend.
Wonderful place to relax - comfortable and so well equiped. The host even provided a hamper and scones
upon arrival, so nice. Yes I would recommend this property for a quite relaxing break
Stayed there with my husband and 2 dogs. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. On arrival the welcome pack was really appreciated and a lovely touch. The property is really clean and there everything you could possibly need there for a relaxing break. The scenery is breathtaking and so much to do in just short car journeys. Would recommend if you want to escape and unwind and see the beautiful scenery of Cornwall. Look forward to going back.

Amazing place in a very quiet and secluded location. Perfect for families or couples who just want a peaceful romantic stay. Everything you could need is supplied. A lovely little private patio with hot tub and BBQ. Will definitely be returning in the future.
Lovely property, would well recommend a holiday there, very comfortable and clean, everything you would want a home from home. Was welcomed with a hamper of goodies which was much appreciated and very thoughtful. Peaceful location
We had two wonderful weeks in Tamsin's Cottage. The nature, the place and the hot tub were very good. We could see nice places in Cornwall. Thank you for everything.
Fabulous welcome pack, Lesley greeted us and made sure everything was ok. Tamsin’s Cottage was everything we expected and more. It felt loved and homely with everything you needed for a great stay. Our dogs were made to feel welcome and the field along the track was a godsend. The hot tub was a great way to relax even when the weather was rough we enjoyed watching the birds in the garden. The information book was full of great suggestions and covered everything you needed to know about. The beds and furniture were super comfy. Great selection of DVD’s, games, books and maps. We can’t wait to return - Thankyou Elaine & George
After being let down last minute on a previous booking we found this hidden gem last minute. The cottage was very well equiped with everything you need, had super comfy beds and a cosy log burner to warm us up after a days walking. And of course the hot tub...bliss!! There was even a lovely thoughtful welcome pack. Would highly recommend and the area is stunning too
It is ideal for a complete down tools break. The location is quite remote and very quiet. Liskeard and Looe, amongst other places, are only a 20 minutes or so drive away so facilities are well within reach.
A perfect place to relax and explore Cornwall.
Quiet location. Everything you need for a vacation. No wishes left unfulfilled. The hot tub is fantastic.
Many thanks to the hostess for all the information about attractions in the area. If we have the opportunity to come to Cornwall again, this apartment would be our first choice.
What a glorious property with the greatest hosts. The cottage was excellently equipped and the welcome package was divine. Everything was clean and extremely comfortable and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. It was great to be able to walk the dogs straight outside the cottage too. Lesley and James left loads of information on things to do in the area and the info on dog friendly beaches was really helpful. They were so helpful and lovely and we had a very relaxing stay 😀
We stayed in Tamsins cottage for a week in late April, we had an absolutely fantastic time. Lesley went out of her way to make our stay perfect, from a range of greeting treats, to meeting us upon our arrival. The cottage was lovely, clean, nicely decorated, and housed pretty much anything you could possibly need during your stay. We even managed a spot of baking whilst there. The hot tub is an extra touch which we all loved spending time in and watching the visiting birds and rolling hills in the distance. All in all we had a lovely stay in the cottage with our children of 4 and 9 years of age. We can’t thank Lesley enough for her hospitality.The Startin Family
