  I only gave equipment 3 and not a 4 because I felt a few small items were missing such as hand soap both downstairs in the kitchen and upstairs. There is no hand basin in the toilet, though I understand the preference for a washing machine instead of a hand basin (washing machine was very useful) but liquid sanitiser in the toilet would have been useful. Foil would have been useful as is not the sort of thing you think of bringing and more tea towels. also hooks in the bathroom and bedroom doors that are not the stick on variety as they just fall off with the slightest of weight. also the tv remotes really need checking every time as they had a real problem, maybe the batteries. time and time again this is a problem in rental properties as they are never thought to be checked properly. Comfort, generally very comfy, especially the bed which was wonderful. It was also lovely and warm, too warm in fact so we kept turning it off. a good size kitchen lounge and bedrooms too. The settee though was not very comfy for us. Generally we loved the cottage very much, especially the view and the proximity to the beach. I have stayed in Perran most years for 40 years. During childhood I stayed in 'Sunnyside' but now we have a dog and they do not take dogs and it is very expencive so I was very pleased to find 4 Withey cottage with a secure garden for our little dog. Please do not change the garden to AstroTurf monstrosity as that is no good for dogs, wildlife, or children's bare feet as it getting burning hot in the sun and just does not look like the Cornish countryside and a suitable foreground to the fields and sea view.

  Great cottage for exploring this corner of Cornwall with everything it has to offer from historic mines to amazing scenery and far more than we managed to see in one visit. An extended original "miner's cottage" there was a great connection to the past we wanted to investigate in the area. Great food at the local Trewellard Arms and at Geevor Mine among many other locations. For those wanting to explore the mining heritage, having three major mines practically on the doorstep, and within walking distance if you try a bit, is great and you can watch sunsets over the mine heads and stacks from the cottage. Visitors with dogs may want to be careful of the local cats who like to sun on the courtyard wall, but cat lovers will need to avoid adopting the bravest who will try to come in if you leave the back door open. Maybe not great if you have a large car, but them most roads around that part of Cornwall are better suited to small cars anyway. The road outside can get you fretting about getting in and out unless you are confident getting in and out of a fairly blind turn into a narrow road or turning the car within the shared parking area. Don't see that as an issue with the cottage though, it's the nature of Cornwall and a world which remains much unchanged since before cards existed - take the chance to live a different life for a while.

  We have stayed at this property a number of times over the past couple of years, we have noticed a general decline in standards this year. The house needs a good refurb and painting, the paintwork is dirty especially downstairs, although the house is generally clean, the beds, bedding and towels were fine. There seems to be a general lack of attention to detail, there's not a set of six of any type of glass or cup, only 2 wine glasses and one beer glass!!, the house is meant to sleep six!!. The mattress on the double bed in the front bedroom is very uncomfortable it needs replacing, one of the patio chairs is broken and was just left propped up against the wall, the garden front and back look generally unkept, the grass was cut this time but was so long in April we couldn't use the garden. We have loved staying here but the house needs some work done on it to keep it up with the standards of other properties for the same price. The positives are the house is in a lovely village with the beach, pub and two cafes on your doorstep.

  Upstairs in the cottage was lovely, though downstairs the living room was very small, photos on website do not show the dining table also in the lounge, and a large un-needed coffee table taking up all the room!

  !! No drainer to dry pots on if you wanted to handwash. Plus side, lovely garden, outside tap, Badge Inn across the road was lovely, and great train access to St Ives. Cleanliness - sofas were covered in dog hairs, and absolutely stank of wet dog. I hoovered them after we arrived and left the rugs covering them in the corner all week which made it a bit better. Leaflets in the basket were years old, the window in the kitchen was so dirty on the inside you could right your name in it, Whilst checking around when we were leaving, under the sofa was also full of 'tumbleweed doghairs', and 3 draws upstairs were full of someone else's clothes from a previous visitor!!! Not great housekeeping standards, I appreciate it was dog friendly, but not everyone has dogs and surely it should be cleaned properly and deeply after customers!! Its not difficult to hoover under a sofa as opposed to round it. Would not recommend the cottage because of this, and we noticed there are other comments in the visitor book regarding same issues.

  We loved Pippin, it is a beautiful little cottage in an amazing location.

  So close (but not so it effects the peace of the cottage) to the train shuttle back and forth to St Ives & the bus route - we only used our car once during our week stay. There are great facilities & it is clear that the owners have thought long & hard about what is needed for a comfortable stay. It was lovely having the little well tended garden. Lelant is a great village and Porthkidney Sands just a short walk away is breathtaking! The bathroom was fantastic, the underfloor heating was a real bonus to keep it dry. We were disappointed that there wasn’t any recycling facilities, we even walked up to Tesco at Carbis Bay with our plastic, cardboard & glass but there wasn’t anything there either. A footstool would be idea in the lounge just for that extra bit of comfort! Some confusion about check-in & out times, the listing differs from the email received and the guest books differs again. 3pm check in and 10am check out would be ideal as 5.30pm & 9.30am takes a whole day of your holiday away.
