Guests say
Holly Cottage is a charming property with a cosy, well-equipped interior and comfy beds, appreciated for its location ideal for exploring Lizard. Guests enjoyed the secure garden and the proximity to local amenities, though some noted the garden could be better maintained. The cottage's character adds to its appeal, despite some concerns about low ceilings and steep stairs.
Cleanliness
The cottage generally appears to be clean, with no major complaints from guests. However, there were mentions of a damp smell and overgrown garden, which suggests room for improvement in these areas.
Location
The location is praised for being a good base for exploring the Lizard area, with local delights nearby. However, concerns about busy roads, parking difficulties, and noise from farm vehicles slightly detract from the overall appeal.
Comfort
Guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, but some found the lounge chairs uncomfortable and the steep stairs challenging, which may affect the comfort level for less agile guests.
Facilities
The cottage is well-appointed with a lovely shower and open fireplace. However, issues with insufficient crockery, a small fridge, and maintenance concerns like a hazardous light socket and lack of stair gate for children suggest that facilities could be better maintained.

About this property
Helford 3 miles. Nestled in the small hamlet of Newtown St. Martin in the Cornish countryside, is the quintessential Holly Cottage. The cottage is just a short stroll from the village pub where you can enjoy a meal and a night cap. This three-bedroom property dates back 250 years and with exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a wood burning stove, the cottage retains much of its character. Bring along your friends and loved ones to this charismatic abode and step inside to discover the open-plan living space, with a contemporary kitchen area, which offers everything you need, including electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. Savour mealtimes together at the dining table or on a summer evening why not carry the conversation outdoors onto the rear garden, with a glass of wine in hand. As night draws to a close, retire to the sitting area, where you can sink into the sofa with a tub of popcorn and choose between a selection of DVDs. After a day exploring the sweeping countryside, take yourself upstairs to the tiled bathroom, where you can soak in the tub or rinse the day away in the overhead shower. When sleep calls, there are three bedrooms to choose from, with a double and single with built-in wardrobes and a twin bedroom with bedside table. Take a short scenic car journey to several beaches and coves, the scenery is stunning. If you're looking for a charming town steeped in history and natural beauty, look no further than Helston, with its boating lake and an array of shops, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The fishing villages of Coverack with local restaurants and Porthallow is also worth a trip, with a very quite pebbled beach and pub, that offers good food. The village of St Keverne also hosts The Three Tuns, a fantastic restaurant and bar that serves up delicious food and drink. You will not be short of places to eat with a short car journey. For a cottage brimming with charm, consider Holly Cottage.
The South Helford village of Manaccan has an outstanding restaurant, a welcoming inn, and a lovely 12th-century church. South Helford is one of Cornwall's most beautiful, unspoiled areas. The area is calm, lovely, and timeless, with winding country roads, picturesque rivers, and waterside settlements. South Helford's protected coves are great for playing on the water and wandering along the shore. Leave your phone behind and enjoy simple pleasures like kayaking in the shallows, exploring hidden coves with a St Anthony boat, and picnicking in the woods.
