Lovely cliff top property

Good response and help booking with Holiday Cottages. We had a lovely stay, nice property and furnishings, well equipped kitchen, good white linen on beds and easy parking. A welcome pack of essentials much appreciated, thank you.
Garden with large patio and big table with two benches. Views were spectacular, your right up on cliff top, pity we went in winter and had rain. Roads were narrow and hill down to Polruan. Well priced quality detached property.
Any issues found are just an email or phone call away, open late, questions answered and gave follow up email. Pleased we enjoyed our holiday with family, returned rested yesterday.

Perfect Short Break

Booking was easy and hassle free. The accommodation was just as described and just what we required - quiet, relatively local to us (for a quick weekend getaway), dog friendly, well equipped, comfortable and so near the beach. Will return!

Lovely property and reliable owners

Lovely property and reliable owners. Everything great bar the garden which is not attached to the property you have to walk across a car park.
TV Volume was set low at 15 and was told we’d have to wait for a company to call out and change. Didn’t want to waste time in day waiting around.
Great facilities in property they think of every thing you need.

A warm comfortable house lovely decor . Good beds & duvets & pillows. All mod cons. Good location about 10 mins walk to market square . The house is on a very steep hill so might be a problem for anyone one with a disability. An all round good experience.

We had an amazing stay at Caerffynnon Hall. The property is stunning, spacious and beautifully maintained, with a perfect variety of rooms for our group. The views were outstanding even in the rain. The hot tub and spa facilities were a real highlight and enjoyed by everyone. Everything was immaculate and well stocked with plenty of cutlery and essentials. 10/10, we can’t wait to return!

Family Time

We had an amazing time at the Barn, The unpolluted clear night sky was a must for stargazing. The environmental positives of the farm. & the history behind the family was also educational, and shows how farm communities have had to adapt. The barn was beautifully equipped with everything we needed. Hot tub was a definite bonus, and surprisingly out of season, we had nice weather apart from a few showers.
