Dog Friendly Cottages in South Cornwall

What our customers say about their holidays

  Our booked six night stay consisted of one night before we gave the keys back and found somewhere else to stay.

  In 25 years of renting holiday cottages, this was by far the worst. Spartan, poorly equipped, no room whatsoever, no storage space and what we believed to be us having the run of a large garden (as the photos depicted) for our two spaniels, we had a 12 x 12ft patch of grass. The tv is at a 45 degree angle to the settee, so you had to crane your neck to watch it. No net curtains so no privacy. A kitchen without a cooker, draining board or washing machine, the latter essential for a cottage that's supposedly dog friendly. As for the front door..... We were told NOT to turn the car around using the property opposite's drive which necessitated reversing down the narrow lane to get out, no mention of this when we booked. Presumably the cottage owners and the neighbour don't get on? The directions to the place weren't even accurate. If this place WAS converted from a barn, I can only assume that the barn was more comfortable. When we departed on the Sunday morning, the owners weren't in, so I texted them to say we'd left the place and to let them know where we'd left the key. Several hours later they replied to say, "oh dear, thanks for letting us know, we hope you find something more suited to your needs". No apology, no " what could we have done to make your stay better?", essentially, " thanks for your £400, 'bye". I just can't believe the glowing reviews for this place, people must have very low expectations. We will NEVER book through you again, a complete and utter disappointment. Yours sincerely Graham & Caroline Brown

  Sheila’s Cottage was perfect in every way.

  Quiet, picturesque surroundings in the owners garden. The cottage, with its super conservatory a bonus, had everything needed for a great relaxing break. We wanted for nothing, there was plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking gear galore….all spotless. Decorated in a cosy fashion…lots of cupboards containing fascinating items, and plenty of books and games etc. Kitchen was amazing and cooker was easy to work. Shower was lovely and powerful in the en-suite bathroom. Plenty of storage space…in a fitted wardrobe. Graeme and Gail were lovely hosts who left us milk, chocolates and wine, and we left with a cutting of a very unusual plant!! A top notch property….we loved it here!

  Little Orchard Barn was a vey lucky find and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

  It is one of the two best cottages we have stayed in. We received a very warm welcome along with some tasty treats. The cottage is comfortable, very well equipped and thoughtful touches make it feel very homely. Please don’t be put off by previous negative comments regarding narrow lane to access the property. It is a very short distance which we managed very well in our Honda CRV, which is not a small car and with due care we were able to drive in, turn round and drive out again with confidence. There is a lot to do in the surrounding area and the shops are close by. Do come and stay at Little Orchard Barn you won’t be disappointed. Many thanks to the owners

  No there was a couple of issues when we first arrived but the owner and his colleague sorted these was were very attentive to our needs. The setting is delightful, it is so peaceful and the lack of ambient light allowed for spectacular star shows at night, the wildlife which we saw was lovely, the hot tub and the isolation was just want we needed as we both have stressful jobs. A great place with a local pub which was a little expensive but to be honest the food w as great. The St Kew farm shop looks like it is part of the golf club but we had the best cream tea and like a lot of places now it is dog friendly. Thanks for a great holiday and welcome.

  Fantastic cottage.

  Lots of space, with large living room / dining room, and a sizeable conservatory. Decent sized walk in shower cubicle with lovely powerful shower. Kitchen very well equipped with everything you could need. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the welcome treats on arrival were a lovely surprise. Graham was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned when our dog had to go to the vet with a shoulder strain. I would definitely recommend staying here - great location to explore Helston, Falmouth and the Lizard. Don’t be put off by the narrow lanes - Sheila’s Cottage is an absolute gem with perfect peace and quiet.
