Cottage was very comfortable, and well equipped. However, some of the paint was flaking and needs redecoration. The shower was disappointing as the water pressure wasn’t sufficient for the water to come out as much more than a dribble. Many of the windows couldn’t be opened. Generally a good cottage but needs some attention.
Nice location, access road is in a terrible state.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful private location.
Lovely cosy cottage in a unique setting, it made the perfect Christmas getaway.
Fantastic experience. Booking process was simple and efficient. Location is stunning with excellent coastal walks. Cottage very well equipped and comfortable. WiFi reliable. Lots of wildlife including dolphin and tuna.
everything was excellent - location, accommodation, furnishing - the only problem was the lack of a second bathroom. Even a toilet downstairs would be a great bonus.
Great location. Very nice, well equipped cottage. Comfortable and very warm in mid November. Would be 5 stars except 1. When it's windy, the kitchen extractor fan makes a really loud howling noise and there's a big draft and whistle round the front door. Given the location this happens a lot. 2. A 3 bedroom holiday cottage could really do with a second toilet/shower room. This one doesn't despite probably having enough space for it.
Beautiful place to stay and very clean and well equipped. We saw seals and dolphins from the outside seating area, and there were gorgeous walks around. The only caveat I would give is that the road to the lighthouse is extremely narrow, with a drop (behind a low wall) on one side. I am scared of heights and found that bit terrifying. But it was worth it! And sainsbury’s deliver there, so it can’t be that bad!!
Absolutely amazing place. Feels very special to stop there, very exclusive. The property itself is very well equipped and comfortable, but the best thing is the view and it being so special to be away from everything at a lighthouse
The lighthouse site was rocky and dramatic and attractive, and the house was comfortable. The only thing that went wrong was that 50% of the guests injured their feet by stubbing theit toes hard on bed posts in two of the bedrooms. The posts project, and thereby catch the toes. My own were aching and dark blue days later.
It was a comfortable cottage. We did not have enough towels for the size of party. Given the windy weather, we found the air vents in the bedrooms to be very noisy and draughty, making the rooms cold. Otherwise we found the cottage very comfortable and loved the location.
This is our third visit to Start Point and it never fails to impress. Since our last visit it has been tastefully redecorated which make it a very comfortable recluse. Despite its isolation with very narrow roads to negotiate there is always a sense of adventure with wonderful cliff top walks in the wildest of weather.Even when it’s pouring with rain and the wind is lashing around the house it is a warm haven of constant surprises.Congratulations Rural Retreats, very much up to your usual standard.
Absolutely beautiful spot, quiet in January. Gorgeous views, sea life, birds and fantastic walks. Cottage spotlessly clean and everything you need there. Very nice welcome hamper. Definately another visit on the cards
Amazing location and great cottage which was fitted out with everything we needed for a quiet weekend away
Slightly disappointed, cottage was fine but you didnt get the sense of being so near to the sea as we had hoped. You could see the sea out of the windows but the main view was either the blank wall of the lighthouse itself or the other cottage on the site. The grounds were mostly fenced off near the sea as well. We did have very calm weather when we were there though, maybe it would have been more fun if we had experienced a storm while we were there. Walking along the coast path was good, especially as it meant we didn't need the car for a few days, so didn't have to drive down the scary road leading to the property
Lovely clean and cosy cottage in a stunning location. Looking forward to booking again in the future.
The cottage was very well equipped and due to its location enjoyed stunning views. We were lucky to enjoy good weather which made the stay even more enjoyable and we were able to see some amazing local wildlife including Peregrines and seals. The cottage was a great base to walk the SW coastal path
Had a brilliant time. Fantastic walks and the cottage was newly refurbed and cosy Would definitely go again
The cottage is in a fantastic location, it was very clean, comfortable and warm with a brand new bathroom and kitchen. As long as you love the sea the views are to die for! It is situated on the coastal path so perfect for walking.
