Absolutely fabulous cottage full of character and charm, in a wonderful location. Many places of interest on the Lizard Peninsular within a few minutes drive. Cottage was extremely spacious, comfortable and clean. everything you needed for your self catering holiday. Added to which was a good size garden with outside seating and a BBQ so plenty of space to relax and dine outside. The hamper was fabulous, the home made lemon drizzle cake was very moreish and wine was very welcome. The setting was idyllic, having access to the Bonython Estate outside of opening hours was a real bonus with many a pleasant morning and evening walks on estate. The Estate Grounds are absolutely beautiful and really enjoyed listening to the Barn and Tawny Owls in the night. We were scheduled to holiday on the Isles of Scilly, but Covid 19 resulted in us having to change our plans and this was a real find, so in this strange world we are in, this was a positive. It was an absolute pleasure to be welcomed to the cottage by 'Tara' the owners dog who visited everyday on her daily rounds. Certainly will be booking again on the estate and cottage are just so beautiful.

Overall, a spacious, comfortable, quite well equipped cottage in a secluded yet reasonably convenient location midway between Helston and Lizard with limited outside space and no view but free access to lovely estate gardens. Furnishings are essentially fine but the electric Mira showers are rather pathetic and the mattresses on the beds in the twin room feel tired and are not comfortable. The wood stove in the sitting room needs better ventilation as it won't stay alight unless loaded up with rather too much wood. Only occasional helicopter noise (Culdrose is just up the road)but otherwise the only sound is birdsong and wind in the trees. This comment box is annoying because as soon as you start to type your text disappears from sight below your keypad - at least it does on an iPad.

Property is in a good location but requires some attention. First thing that greats you as you walk in is the dampness (never great). Kitchen is below an expected Rural Retreats standard (quite outdated). Good range of utensils but the knives were very poor. The upstairs bathrooms were also below the expected Rural Retreats standard. Duvets did not fit the covers or a few beds. Hair dryer once requested was pretty poor quality (must have cost all of £5). That said both the owner and the housekeeper were very nice and welcoming.
