Feedback from the chamberlains

Really enjoyable break in this lovely cottage. Very tastefully decorated with every thing you would need. A real home from home. I would recommend this property to my friends and family however the location was rather remote and as it is early May there was no beach bistro or pub open.

Nice property relaxed lication

We enjoyed our stay. The property was ideal for the two of us and two dogs. The location is very peaceful. Only downside was the the pub had lost its chef so there was nowhere to eat out within reasonable walking distance. They were working on that so hopefully not an issue for future bookings.

Lovely cottage

The cottage was well equipped and the garden opposite was a little place to escape from the family. Port Hallow was remote and the pub opening times were erratic and the Beach cafe simply wasn’t open despite information to the contrary when l emailed them prior to our visit. Beds were very comfortable. The cottage is a short walk to the beach and the whole area is dog friendly. It took me a while to get used to the small Cornish roads and reversing skill is essential. I would recommend the Fat Apple cafe that is 0.4 miles away - brilliant friendly service and excellent food.

A hidden gem.

Just a lovely property in a great location. It's obviously on the small side being a Fishermans cottage but it's bigger than it looks in the photos as was big enough for the 4 of us. The dining table seats 4 easily. The decor is lovely, really calming and the upstairs bedroom are lovely and light with the high ceilings. The beach is great for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking etc. The Fat Apple Cafe is definitely worth visiting as well. The thing we liked the most was how quiet is was compared to even the surrounding beaches. Will be staying here again and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Jon!
