    It is said that it is secure for dogs - ours is only a young pup and although there is a garden at the back there isn't a completely secure gate - but this was fine as we just kept him on a long lead so he was still able to run around.

    House was much bigger than expected. Gorgeous lounge and dining room and very spacious kitchen. Bedrooms were lovely. Linens all provided and of good quality. Hosts were happy for us to bring our dog (at a small extra charge). Beautiful walks in and around the house. Hosts were super helpful. Lovely touch of a jug of milk in the fridge and tea & coffee. Very clear and useful information about the house and local areas. Would definitely return and recommend.

    The main toilet is too high and the freestanding bath doesn’t seem to be fixed. The kettle needs replacing as it leaks. The front door key area is close set to the door and can catch your fingers. There is a very sharp strut under the dining room table. For me these are minor matters as overall this is an outstanding property. However, the Wi-Fi is hit and miss, which could be a draw back for those dependent on technology or planning to combine work with leisure.

    Spacious, airy, very well stocked kitchen (great to have extra cutlery and crockery ) and bookshelves. Great space in the dining room. Very comfortable lounge lit with the choice of main or lamp lighting. Two fridges, reliable working oven. luxurious master bedroom, exclusive garden. 3 toilets. Really interesting ornaments and paintings. Plentiful parking, quality accommodation, peaceful and set in a beautiful location.

    Excellent accommodation in quiet spot on edge of a country estate, not far from the sea and Falmouth

    Slightly restricted turning area for car parking (5 to 7 point turn), resulting in my damaging the scoop of my largish car on the outside stone steps. But that was my own fault.

    Beaufifully maintained internally-modernised old stone house by the entrance to a 18-19th century country estate with parkland. The modernisation was tastefully done, retaining the character of the (probably 19th century) property with two large bedrooms, two excellent ensuite bathrooms and a large farmhouse style kitchen with adjoining large dining room in an adjoining wing converted from a store room probably. Modenr heating system worked well and kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed for self-catering.

    Nothing, although a second standup shower over the bath, with a curtain, would have been great.

    A lovely house in a quiet, peaceful, rural setting. It was like a home away from home, very cosy and comfortable. It was also a handy spot to drive to St Ives, Lands End etc.

    All was perfect, the only improvement I'd suggest is some extra pillows and also we had a double sheet on what must have been a king-size bed so the sheet would end up coming off the corners every night. Not too much of a problem though.

    Lovely quiet location with good parking and only 15 mins into Falmouth. Really nice spacious home. The peacocks that wondered around the grounds were a great, interesting addition. We had everything we needed for our stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Lovely selection of books and games to choose from too.

    It would have been nice to meet up with the host at some point during our stay. The WiFi didn't work so I would recommend it is removed from the advertising. Phone signal is very poor (not the host's fault) and this could also be why the WiFi was so poor. It would also have been nice to have some local information such as Restaurant's pubs shops etc and sights worth visiting.

    Very Nice clean property. Very nice to have 2 fridges but a fridge and a small freezer would have been better.

    En-suite shower fitting fell apart a bit and shower door not fitted correctly, a few to many spiders, but that was easily sorted.

    Amazing setting, lots of space and oodles of character.
