Guests say
Fox Cottage in Falmouth is praised for its character, cosy atmosphere, and private garden that catches the sun. It's situated in a quiet location with convenient village amenities and is close to beautiful Cornwall landscapes. The owners are helpful, and a welcome tray adds a thoughtful touch. Some minor issues with facilities and comfort are noted, but overall, guests seem content and some plan to return.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is described as lovely and quiet, with easy access to local amenities and nearby attractions in Falmouth and Truro. The surrounding area offers nice walks, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the location.
Guests find the bedrooms comfortable and the cottage cosy, but mention that the sofa is uncomfortable and the bedside lamps are too small for reading. The garden is a sun trap, adding to the comfort of outdoor relaxation.
The cottage is well-equipped with white goods, and there's a generous supply of TVs. However, there are issues with a broken BBQ and a lack of Smart TV, and the garden furniture is noted to be rusty. The presence of steps and the locking away of the BBQ are also concerns.
The owners are described as helpful, suggesting places to visit, and a welcome tray on arrival is mentioned, which indicates thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, future guests should consider this a pleasant possibility rather than an expectation.

It was a lovely house and location. It stated in the details that a bbq was available. This was broken and not usable. The owner was quite unpleasant to my son as he thought we had used it on the decking when we hadn't used it as it was broken. He then locked it in the shed so we couldn't use it, although it was falling to bits! Apart from that, a beautiful house and a lovely holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Fox Cottage. The cottage was very characterful, warm and cosy. All our needs were provided for. It is in a lovely, quiet location with all the amenities we could want. The owners were helpful, suggesting places to visit. We had a really good takeaway meal from The Lemon Arms just down the road. There were nice walks from the cottage, by the creek, which were lovely in the evenings. The welcome tray and music on the radio on arrival was a lovely touch. Only one thing missing which was Smart TV in the living room. It would be a great addition if added. We have booked again for next year!
