Ideal property as a base to explore the area. House was cosy and had plenty of room for us all. House isn’t an immaculate super clean and clinically clean new build/reno, it has character and charm
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
My son and I stayed at the cottage as we waited for our new home to become available, and it served as our first step in our new life in the area. It provided much-needed comfort and cosiness in a transitional period of our lives, as we explored the area and my son began his time in a new school. The owner was very responsive to questions. It definitely has a lived-in vibe: the owner lives there when not away, and it gives the property a very particular character!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2024
The cottage is excellent, clean, convenient and has everything you will need. Penryn is quiet, so it’s a trip in to Truro or Falmouth for entertainment, but the buses are excellent. A great place to stay and explore Cornwall.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Good base for visiting the area. Small and compact cottage with many personal belongings and quite large furniture that made it feel smaller. Also not very clean.
