  I asked several times before travelling down as to whether there was a iron and ironing board in the house as i had a family event to attend.

  Also, as the listing mentioned a pond but didn't show any images i asked if it was covered or safe with dogs about. I heard nothing back on either of these points. There was an iron and an ironing board but the board didn't have a cover. As for the pond, really think the word pond is stretching it. It was a large puddle in a stone. My dog liked to drink from it though which i discouraged him from obviously. The garden itself was lovely and well kept. Spent many a chilled hour. It has sun all day and really is a treat for this part of Cornwall. The house was like visiting your grandparents house. It had a real family owned feel, and was generally fine. There are lots of spiders but that didn't bother us. Really think though that a double bed rather than two singles in the backroom away from traffic noise would be an idea. There was dirty linen in a bag in the bathroom, and might have brought back some creepy crawlies with us but not sure if that came from the house. I loved the kitchen feel, and liked the way you could open up the door to the garden. Equipment wise it was all fine, feel the TV could do with an upgrade. All in all at the right price we would return!

  Upstairs in the cottage was lovely, though downstairs the living room was very small, photos on website do not show the dining table also in the lounge, and a large un-needed coffee table taking up all the room!

  !! No drainer to dry pots on if you wanted to handwash. Plus side, lovely garden, outside tap, Badge Inn across the road was lovely, and great train access to St Ives. Cleanliness - sofas were covered in dog hairs, and absolutely stank of wet dog. I hoovered them after we arrived and left the rugs covering them in the corner all week which made it a bit better. Leaflets in the basket were years old, the window in the kitchen was so dirty on the inside you could right your name in it, Whilst checking around when we were leaving, under the sofa was also full of 'tumbleweed doghairs', and 3 draws upstairs were full of someone else's clothes from a previous visitor!!! Not great housekeeping standards, I appreciate it was dog friendly, but not everyone has dogs and surely it should be cleaned properly and deeply after customers!! Its not difficult to hoover under a sofa as opposed to round it. Would not recommend the cottage because of this, and we noticed there are other comments in the visitor book regarding same issues.

  We loved Pippin, it is a beautiful little cottage in an amazing location.

  So close (but not so it effects the peace of the cottage) to the train shuttle back and forth to St Ives & the bus route - we only used our car once during our week stay. There are great facilities & it is clear that the owners have thought long & hard about what is needed for a comfortable stay. It was lovely having the little well tended garden. Lelant is a great village and Porthkidney Sands just a short walk away is breathtaking! The bathroom was fantastic, the underfloor heating was a real bonus to keep it dry. We were disappointed that there wasn’t any recycling facilities, we even walked up to Tesco at Carbis Bay with our plastic, cardboard & glass but there wasn’t anything there either. A footstool would be idea in the lounge just for that extra bit of comfort! Some confusion about check-in & out times, the listing differs from the email received and the guest books differs again. 3pm check in and 10am check out would be ideal as 5.30pm & 9.30am takes a whole day of your holiday away.

  The location worked well for us, 10 minute walk from the train station and down the hill to Copperhouse Pool and shops.

  Most of the facilities/equipment were fine. Like other Reviewers we'd have appreciated an additional comfy seat in the lounge. Also an occasional table for the settee area. Main concern was the dangerous toilet seats! All three were loose and slid side to side. Your Cleaner MUST have known about this so it was totally irresponsible to allow guests in to use the property with them like that, resulting in a finger injury to my right hand, and lucky you that no more serious injuries resulted, especially with an 80 year old in our party. To your credit, the seats were rectified the following day, but only after the stress of my having to contact you, through your emergency number....and an email. It is also a fact that by the time guests have occupied the properties you manage, often on a Friday, and discovered problems, your office is closed....for the weekend! It was a nice touch to find various spices & condiments in the kitchen cupboard & the makings for a cream tea. Nice.

  Boundys House was wonderful even though on a very busy main road.

  It had masses of space downstairs and a lovely garden. Beds were very comfortable. What was missing was inability to open windows (apart from the front bedroom which I occupied, and the toilet) as they seem to have been painted over. I always have to sleep with the window open so I could achieve that but the bathroom and other two bedrooms had sealed windows. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was plenty of crockery and cutlery and everything essential for cooking. We arrived by train so were using public transport to get around and it was so easy for us with the bus stops just yards from the house. We did find it a bit strange that only one toilet roll was supplied for 3 of us for 1 week! Clearly not anywhere near enough. I had requested ahead of our visit for a hairdryer and was told that it would be taken out of the locked area for me, and indeed it was there on arrival.
