  Immaculately maintained, tiny characterful property.

  The Old Stable had everything we needed for a comfortable week away, although I would not think a longer stay would be practicable owing to the basic cooking facilities (a portable two ring electric hob and microwave) and just a tumble drier meaning handwashing lighter items of clothing, finding a laundrette or bringing lots of stuff. We appreciated the good quality tea, coffee bags and biscuits which are the hallmark of a thoughtful and welcoming host. Towels and tea towels are provided but bring your own beach towels. The bed on its little gallery is comfortable but we found moving the rolling steps to and fro in order to cook then wash up a bit of a faff, be aware they are quite heavy with steel handrails and glass panels. We knew about this arrangement, and it wouldn't put us off staying here again. No outside space of course, which we also knew about, but the quiet beach is adjacent and is one of our favourites on the Lizard. The Five Pilchards pub, which in the past has done good pub food, has closed down and is for sale but we had a great meal at the beach café next door. I know people rave about the Fat Apples café just up the lane but every time we went past we had just missed it being open. It shuts promptly at 5 pm. Our dog enjoyed staying here and we were glad she couldn't get up the steep steps and attempt to climb onto the bed to find us, which she sometimes does in an unfamiliar house. She had to stay in her own dog bed. She knew where we were and could see us so she was content. This was a definite plus for us.

  The Threshing barn is set in a lovely village location perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful holiday. It is about 20 minutes to Truro and Falmouth and also to Porthtowan beach, where you can book surfing lessons and there are cafes/restaurants, beach shops and toilets. As a family of 4 (children aged 15 and 12) the size of the barn was ideal and with 2 bathrooms there were no arguments! I would suggest some hooks to be added in the bathrooms for dressing gowns/ towels to be hung. There were plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped!The outside space is lovely and well-maintained, the patio area has seating and a BBQ - unfortunately the weather didn't permit us to enjoy the outdoor area! There is also two car spaces and a games room with a table tennis table, this area is shared with the cottage on the grounds. We had an issue with the oven the day after we arrived and customer services were very efficient and it was sorted the next working day and It didn't stop us from having a wonderful holiday at the Threshing Barn.

  Smashing little cottage just a stones throw from the sea.

  Bed was comfy and warm as weather was a bit dodgy. Kitchen well equipped. Lounge was comfortable and free view on TV came in handy for evening entertainment. Bathroom spacious, shower good n hot and proper thick bath sheets!. Little secure yard so doggo could be let outside without concerns for a mooch. I did meet the owner x1 and was able to thank him in person for the welcoming bottle of Prosecco for me and treats for my hairy mate. We got a parking for the week at the closely located car park for £35. I am glad we did as the traffic warden made an unexpected visit!. Gorran Haven is a little gem and the beach is lovely, local shop is well stocked with baked goods and other foods including locally sourced veg, and the bar is very friendly. Used the chip shop although they did only open from Wednesday to Saturday. That was great and portions very generous. And this week bar shut around 5pm, hot food was also available there during the day. Hours do extend as season gets busier.

  Bella's Place is set in an idyllic location bringing peace, tranquility and natural beauty to your door. Mark the very friendly and accommodating owner lives just a short distance from the studio and offers a wealth of information regarding Cornwall itself and locations/ restaurants to visit. You will also have the opportunity to meet Mark's four dogs if you like animals with Bella giving you a daily visit if you leave the bottom gate open for her. Tthe studio really is a home from home especially for Bella, she really is adorable. We wanted to rediscover Cornwall as it has been a while since we were last there and Bella's Place provided us with a fantastic base to return to after a day exploring the numerous resorts on our list. It truly is a hidden gem and one we would love to return to when we next visit. It was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed for our week stay. We would definitely recommend 100%

  Hi there! We were OK with the dated decor but we struggled with a couple of things which made our stay not that comfortable (especially given the cost, even during school summer holidays).

  1. There's a heater in the property which was on all the time and which we couldn't work out how to switch off. We called the company and only after chasing got told that we could switch it off at the wall despite the sign in the property. This had no effect and we were basically uncomfortably hot the whole stay. 2. We lost hot water twice. The first time, we called the number in the book - this was meant to be open until 10pm but despite it not even being 8pm there was no answer and we had to leave a message. Despite chasing after the second time we lost hot water we never did get a call back. Cold showers on holiday are not acceptable and we were very disappointed at no-one being bothered to get back to us. Would love some kind of response from the owner and/or letting company as we came away not as relaxed as we should have done.
