Cowslip Kabyn - Set In Enclosed Two Acre Garden in the St Ives Bay Area

We had a really lovely stay at Cowslip Kabyn. Peter was great, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for hosting us, we will be sure to keep you in mind for any future visits to Cornwall.

A cosy place to stay and enjoy the holidays in Cornwall. Peter, the host was very kind and welcoming. The place was spotless and had everything you might need. Definitely a place to back to!

Great property in a super location. The lodge is clean, really well equipped and the outside space is perfect t if you are bringing children or dogs. The location is great for access to town and a short drive to all the local beaches. Peter and his wife we’re great hosts and really communicative ensuring we had an easy booking and check in process and that we had everything we needed during our stay.

Communication was very good, and on meeting the owners, all seemed to be fine. The kabyn is well furnished and equipped, with lovely grounds. However, the rooms were extremely cold on arrival, maybe it had not been occupied for a while. The electric heaters made little impact, and it was almost two days before it became comfortable. The internet connection was vey poor, as my wife and I have different devices, and had varying connection on both, lasting up to 20 mins. On Friday, my wife took our dog out for a short walk first thing. On arrival back at the kabyn, she ascended the decking steps. The rotted wooden step gave way, as did the support post with the rope handrail. She fell sideways onto the ground, and shouted for help. I rushed outside and helped her up. She had hurt her ankle, leg and back, and was badly shaken up. The owner was informed, and said he would deal with the repair. After a while, we left to go out for the day. I did the driving, as my wife was in pain. When we returned, the step had been replaced, albeit on the same rotten frame. Some of the other treads and boards look to be in a similar condition. The most disappointing part is that the owners did not make contact after the event to enquire on my wife's welfare, even as we packed up and left the following day. There are scars and bruises on my wife's legs, and she is still in pain. She will attend our doctors surgery on Monday (26th Nov) to assess the damage. In the interest of Health and Safety, there should be a full inspection, to avoid a further occurrence of such an accident. We shall be in touch about the outcome of the doctors findings.
