It was great
10.0 / 10.0
What an absolutely fab little place. It’s small but perfectly formed. So very cozy and everything you could want. I was using it as a base to work from in Cornwall for a few days to coincide with a family commitment. WiFi was great which was a must, there’s a little Tesco 3 mins walk away for provisions. Really great value. Gina was super accommodating and also allowed me to leave late on my last morning so I could work until lunchtime.
I couldn’t charge my EV on site was the only very slight disappointment, but Gina suggested a couple of local chargers. I left the car overnight at the leisure centre car park about 10 mins walk away. 55p per kWh so much cheaper than on the motorway.

The property was very cute, extremely comfortable, cosy, and contained everything we could need, plus more. It was within walking distance of the town and other amenities, and there was public transport nearby for getting to the beach etc. I did not meet the host in person because she left us in peace and didn’t interrupt our stay, but I knew she was attentive and I could call on her for anything I might have needed, and that was lovely and reassuring. I will book again if I’m in the area.
There was nothing I didn’t like about this property, or the host.

Very quirky! Lovely little touches added ( milk, bread, custard tarts plus usual tea etc ) which meant we didn’t have to dash to nearest supermarket . No tv, which was wonderful; we read , talked & chilled.
The pillows… but I am fussy.

Beautiful decor, comfy bed, everything we could want. Friendly owner who was happy to go out of her way to help. Great facilities, ideal location for us, basics like bread, milk, tea and coffee provided plus an extra treat. Spotlessly clean and tidy,definitely be returning.
Could be difficult getting in and out of parking space at busy times of the day.

This was a cosy property on a main road location. Once inside the decor was what made it unique. Like a tardis it hid many surprises. Our host made sure we had everything needed.
It was warm and cosy during a very wet spell of weather & a very comfy bed.
Close to places of interest.
The weather made it hard to venture too far on foot and major roadworks were rather confusing for driving to isolated locations (Beyond our or host's control.) No TV to fall back on during downpours.

This is an extremely comfortable living space with attention to detail to enable comfort. The decor is 'puffy boudoir' and fulfills the needs of any holiday maker or couple wishing to explore the surrounding sights.
Easy access to clay mine walks and to Charlestown on foot (latter a 2km walk but you are straight on to coast, beaches and coastal walks). Town is around 1km away. Shops are nearby.
Extremely comfortable double bed.

Shabby Shack was exactly as described. Very unique. The location was perfect for us within easy reach of town centre. Plenty of tea & coffee in room plus a pint of milk in fridge on our arrival. Very clean, plenty of towels. Overall very happy, lovely place.
8.0 / 10.0
The location suited us, away from the town centre. We very much liked the overall theme of the decor and appliances.
Excellent shower.
The food items left in the fridge was a nice touch.
Driving from the premises out onto the road was a bit difficult, owing to the restricted view.

Lovely stay at the shack, everything you could possibly need and the bed was SO comfortable
It was quite cold - bear in mind it's a converted garage space - but the space heater warmed it up quickly. Also note the shower is quite narrow, to be aware of if you're on the larger side.

The arrival was made really easy and we were made very welcome. The photos don't do it justice and so we were very pleased with the decor and comfort of the place. It was a perfect place to stay for visiting locally and with all the facilities we could need. There were lots of little treats and snacks made available, and with the use of a mini kitchen and fridge!

very pretty holiday let a lot of thought had gone in to the decor the host was lovely she provided a welcome pack very generous bread croissants tea coffee biscuits etc
didn't like a curtain over the bathroom no privacy when using the toilet also no TV I know you don't go on holiday to watch TV but we were further from pub and restaurants than we thought so we took the car to Charlestown which was so lovely but too far to walk so we returned early in the evening and a TV would have been nice.

Lovely, well thought out design. Great facilities, really comfy bed.
The only thing I’d say is that if you’re on the bigger side, you might struggle to use the shower! But it’s extremely well designed for its size.

The location was excellent, short drives to places we wanted to visit
An outside space & perhaps somewhere to cook?

Everything was great! Gina was so attentive and easy to talk to! She provided us with a few things in the fridge which was a lovely gesture. Shampoo and other toiletries were also provided.The place was tidy, so well decorated and homely, its the little things that you wpuldnt think of that Gina did. The bed was honestly the most comfortable thing and was exactly what was needed after a 5hour journey.
Thankyou Gina! Hopefully we can arrange to come and see you again soon!

Shabby shack was spotless, smelt divine and had everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay in Cornwall. We were so close to the Eden Project which was our main reason for visiting but it was also a great place to stay with good public transport access to other local areas. Gina the owner was also fantastic and made us feel so welcome and at home. Nothing was too much trouble for her and the attention to detail (and the wine!) was outstanding. We will 100% be back.
Faultless. Shabby Shack was everything we hoped it would be and more.
10.0 / 10.0
Shabby Shack was one of the main highlights of the holiday. Access was very straight forward and we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The place is beautifully decorated and the host kindly added special touches, such as milk etc which made our short journey so much easier. Gina was absolutely lovely and I knew if there was any issues they could easily be resolved, however we experienced nothing but pleasure when being there.
There was nothing not too like.

It's self catering but the host leaves a croissant butter and jam in the fridge for the first morning and bread in the freezer plus milk tea coffee and some wine as a welcome pack.

Comfy bed. Lovely decor. Nice to see that Gina had taken the time to place a welcome pack of goodies in the fridge such as water, wine, croissants and spread, jams and bread as well as the usual expected tea and coffee. Plus, free WiFi.
