Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cottage's spotlessness and high standards of cleanliness, with many giving top marks. The repeated emphasis on this aspect across multiple reviews justifies a near-perfect score.
The location is generally well-regarded for its proximity to local amenities and attractions in Cornwall. However, some guests noted the run-down appearance of neighbouring properties and the town, which slightly impacted the score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. A few guests had issues with the mattress and lounge seating, which prevents a perfect score.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped and maintained, with special mentions of the kitchen and the log burner. There are minor comments about the need for a lick of paint and steep stairs, but overall, the facilities are highly rated.
Many reviews highlight the thoughtful touches, such as welcome goodies and excellent pre-arrival information. While these are appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not a guaranteed amenity.
About this property
Primrose Cottage is in the heart of Penryn, quietly tucked away off the high street, yet only a two minute stroll from the pubs and shops, a charming terraced cottage over two levels. Step through the stable doors in to the entrance hall with flagstone floor and follow through to the living room with cosy wood-burning stove. The open-plan kitchen-dining room is separate. At this level there is the family bathroom and a separate WC. Head up the stairs to two double bedrooms. The enclosed courtyard garden has bistro table and chairs. A characterful and stylish cottage, close to Penryn harbour (water taxi) and within easy reach of Falmouth's town and beaches.
Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbourside pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture.

Paula
The cottage was perfect for us and excellent value for money. Every room was comfortable, very clean (top marks to the house keeper) and whilst it was dog friendly there was no evidence of previous furry friends. Everything was considered. Comfortable beds, long area and great positioning near to the River and in easy reach of both Penryn Town and Falmouth. Really happy with the stay and will definitely consider again in the future.

Only downside for us is there was no real immediate green space for dog walking.

Lots of homely touches so felt very welcoming during a very wet blustery week in Cornwall. The stairs are quite steep, so might be a consideration for anyone with mobility difficulties. The courtyard garden is paved and small but is fully enclosed for dogs that might try to escape. Great location for exploring Cornwall.
