What our customers say about their holidays

  Penny Liggan was a spacious holiday rental, with amble parking and good outdoor space for our dog.

  However the house felt run down and very out dated with exception of the kitchen which had been refitted. The kitchen taps would make a horrendous noise every time someone used the shower/taps from their bathrooms (we worked out they weren’t screwed on tightly enough). The SKY TV didn’t work, they only provided terrestrial channels as they didn’t have a subscription, they just provide a sky box, which would ordinarily be fine if the TV was smart and would allow us to log in to our Netflix / Amazon accounts but it wasn’t, so for future holidaymakers, bring an HDMI cable and a laptop that you can plug in to be able to watch content on demand, otherwise you will be watching either live terrestrial television or old DVDs (we recommend Enemy at the Gate from the collection). My parents had the large double bedroom, auntie in the 2nd double bedroom and my husband and I in the twin bedroom. The twin had a broken chest of drawers which was difficult to open and no wardrobe, it felt damp in there also. Something also to bear in mind was that the property looked directly onto St Enodoc’s golf course, which is cool, until you realise you don’t have a huge amount of privacy because they can look in on you in 3 of the bedrooms and the living room. The outdoor space was nice, we sat out on the chairs often, we didn’t use the BBQ as we didn’t have reason to. If you like us are keen body boarders in Cornwall, be aware there are no outdoor showers and no dedicated drying space for wetsuits. There is a laundry room but one of the cupboards is locked (standard) but the other cupboard isn’t suitable for wetsuits. The roof light in the painted red downstairs toilet leaks, so if it’s raining you will get wet whilst doing your business. The kitchen is space is lovely with a large table for everyone to have space to eat at and a separate fridge freezer allowing us to store enough food for the week, however all the pans bar two are non-induction compatible so do not work on the hob, so with a party of 8 people, trying to feed everyone with 2 small pans is not ideal. We had a lovely time at Penny Liggan which had a fantastic location and would return but be more prepared next time and would hope some of the issues would have been remedied.

  We have been traveling to Cornwall for over 30 years, and we are delighted to say that Nappers Cottage is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in, it is absolutely beautiful throughout.

  It is so comfortable to return back to in the evenings in order to relax and unwind after a busy day out sight seeing. The lounge and dinning rooms are very large/spacious, and even though there was only myself and my husband staying with out little dogs, there would be plenty of room for a full family to enjoy without living on top of each other. The kitchen is one of the best equipped I have seen, with an extensive range of pots, pans, crockery, utensils etc, there is a large fridge freezer for all your provisions, and an extensive selection of dogs bowls etc, Steve has organised everything beautifully and though of everything that you might need. The bedrooms are spacious, with lovely bedding, and the beds are so comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom is very large with an amazing large bath tub, and large separate shower cubicle. There is a large front garden which is shingled, and a patio back garden with tables and chairs. There is also plenty of parking outside on the roads, which were quiet for the majority of the time, with only the occasional car passing, so a very quiet location. Steve the owner was so helpful and always on hand if we needed anything, very easy and quick to contact/respond if required. We would not hesitate to return again, and or recommend to family and friends, what an absolutely lovely stay at Nappers cottage.

  This is the second time I’ve stayed at Lee Barton holiday cottages but the first time in the farmhouse.

  The farmhouse is well equipped with beautiful views over a valley and when we stayed was very quiet and peaceful. As the details state the shower is over the bath. The bath is quite high sided and would benefit from a grab rail to assist both children and the older person when getting in and out. The heating was from night storage heaters and not particularly effective even prior to winter (a very chilly end of September) and there was no heating in the large hallway outside the bathroom, in the bathroom itself or in the downstairs hallway or kitchen which you need to be aware of if planning a winter visit. The farm is accessed via the very narrow lanes (a car width only) that are common in this area. There are limited passing places although we managed not to meet any traffic although this was simply good luck. Tractors use these lanes and the day we were leaving we had to assist a lorry driver who was attempting to reverse into a very narrow opening. If you aren’t confident driving in these conditions this is not for you. If you are it’s a delightful area with Duck Pool bay only about a mile away (a short pleasant stroll) and easy access to the towns and villages of both Devon and Cornwall. Bonus, if you like cats, is Rebel who is exceptionally friendly and enjoys sitting outside the window in the sun although he will stroll in if given the opportunity!

  We loved staying at nappers cottage .

  The cottage is spacious and modern and beautifully decorated. The host even provided washing capsules ,liquid ,handwash and toilet rolls .. tea coffe milk and even Cornish crackers ! which was a godsend after a long drive so we didn't have to rush to the shops . The beds are comfy and we slept really well . Lovely hot shower and a bath if you need a soak ! The kitchen is well equipped for everything you need . We caught the bus to st Ives just at the top of the road and was only £10 for a roaming family day ticket. We did walk to the beach too - across the nature reserve which was lovely . The cottage is ideally situated to explore that end of Cornwall - we only had @30 min drive either way to porthcurno and kynance . Parking outside the cottage wasn't an issue either . Thank you for an amazing week - can't recommend nappers cottage enough ! :)

  The property is clean, the beds are comfortable, there is everything you need in the kitchen, however… Do not book unless someone is at least 5ft 6in and able bodied, the cupboards are so high you will struggle if you are short.

  There’s a step in the shed apparently, but not sure how safe this fix is? The tv in the conservatory didn’t work, there’s no remote for the tv in the twin room, the kitchen sink drain smells terrible. The cupboard door in the conservatory comes off if you catch it (my dog caught his bottom on it so I had to try to fix the already broken hinge). The loo seat is loose, tried to fix this too but think it needs replacing. Then there’s the front door. The moment there is any warm/sunny weather it sticks to the point it feels like it’s going to completely come off. Overall it just feels a little unloved, which is a shame as it’s ideally positioned for the gorgeous north Cornish coast. So whilst we enjoyed our stay we wouldn’t return to this property.
