What our customers say about their holidays

  Overall we were happy with everything Cornish Horizons (aka Original Cottages) did to describe the property and provide support. We were happy with the property too apart from one issue. The very low score on the cleanliness is only because the mattress on the bed had an unpleasant smell (a bit like sweaty feet), which meant we were uncomfortable the first night, until we stripped the bed, stopped using the duvet, and eventually worked out that it was the mattress that smelled, not just the duvet or mattress cover (we thought it was at first it was the duvet, then the mattress cover, but we think they smelled because they had been in contact with mattress). Apart from that, the rest of the property was clean and well presented. I can appreciate that spotting that the mattress smelled bad is probably not something the owner or cleaner would have easily noticed (unless they had tried to sleep in the bed). Hopefully, the owner has done something about the mattress after the comments I called and left with Paige on 0333 0151348 and the note I left on the stripped mattress for the cleaner/property owner.

  The hosts Roger and Ian could not have been more caring, more helpful and more generous and obviously love to share their beautiful property and surrounding gardens with visitors.

  Upon arriving we were greeted and welcomed so warmly by them and Roger had baked us a delicious welcome cake. We’d ordered a meal which was cooked by Roger to 5 star restaurant standard and the dishes were then cleared away for us. The property is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is in a very peaceful location - ideally situated with a short walk (around 10 minutes) to the spectacular South West Coast Path leading to beautiful beaches. A short drive away is the Bodinnick ferry across to Fowey, and Polperro, Looe and St Austell are also not too far away. We really cannot fault our stay at all and, as experienced cottage holiday renters, Pendower House has to rate as the best we have ever visited. In fact, although Roger and Ian were not a continuous presence during our stay - we left feeling as though we had made some really good friends - and had found a holiday cottage that we’d love to experience again. We highly recommend Pendower House. All through our stay we were made to feel so special and nothing was too much trouble for them.

  Just back from a much needed break at Mariners Rest.

  The weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t matter one bit as we were able to enjoy our beautiful place and surroundings come rain or shine! Lovely spacious and bright accommodation with a view of the sea to wake up to, such a calm, comfortable space to relax in, both inside and out. And thank you to our fabulous host Georgia who was excellent with her communication & kindly on call if we needed anything. But we didn’t as everything was perfect ! Super location to explore too - we enjoyed just being able to walk out the door and walk the costal path from Gorran Haven to Port Mellon on a beautiful sunny day with stunning coastal views and we even saw some seals ! And nearby, well worth exploring the fishing villages of Charlestown, Mevagissey and Fowey. We recommend the Polgooth Inn for an amazing breakfast treat especially the ‘marmite melt!’, the local Gorran fish and chip shop a short stroll away & the Crown at St Ewe for supper! Can’t wait to return to Mariners Rest and the fabulous Cornish coast - missing you already!

  The flat itself was lovely.

  It was clean, spacious and appeared well maintained. Unfortunately the promised welcome pack wasn’t there on our arrival but the owner kindly sorted this out by the following morning which was really welcome! Sadly, our stay at this flat was ruined by the noise from the restaurant below. Yes, the fact the flat is above a restaurant is mentioned in the details but the reality of this situation was very upsetting for us. There is clearly no soundproofing between the restaurant and the flat and you can feel vibrations from the music and conversations through the bedroom floors which went on until very late in the night, keeping us all awake and upsetting the children greatly. Sleep and rest while on holiday is vital but this situation resulted in only getting minimal sleep each night and coming home feeling horribly tired and disappointed. It’s such a shame the restaurant noise has spoilt such a lovely flat and a potentially relaxing holiday. We sadly would not recommend this particular place, sorry.

  A fab property.

  We were lucky enough to be staying here, right in the middle of Gorran Haven, over New Year! Although the weather let us down some of the time, we can’t fault anything else. Lovely welcome treats for us and the dogs on arrival, everything we needed to feel at home straight away & a great location. Cakebreads just down the road (village shop, cafe, bar & post office all mixed into one!) serves up a cracking breakfast (outside so wrap up warm) which set us on our way for fabulous walks in all directions… although the walk to Vault beach is a must on a sunny day, especially if you combine it with a walk to the Barley Sheaf pub….best Scotch egg ever & amazing steak!!! Mevagissey is also within easy reach, with a nice stop off at the Rising Sun in Portmellon. Great fish & chips in Gorran Haven to head back to al the end of the day too! Everywhere we went was super friendly, to us and the dogs! (Although, this may alter in peak season!) Highly recommend both the property & the location!
