  I would like to start by saying Thankyou for allowing us to stay in your beautiful property for a 3 night stay.

  The welcome was very friendly and helpful, giving us a guided tour and instructions on how things worked..There were scones, Prosecco and eggs which were very welcome. Our party consisted of 4 adults..ages ranging from 47 to 67 years. I would like to write this review from a person who has mobility problems .. eg: difficulty in walking. There was also a member of our group who had ‘allergy’ issues as well as other health problems. I have read through the information about the property again before I start this review as I do not wish to offend the advertiser. Upon arrival, we were faced with the steepest drive I have ever encountered… but, as the owner said ‘we would get used to it’.. which we did and we mastered the art of driving a vehicle up and down quite well. There was a manageable slope from the car park area to the front door… First impressions when walking into the property was Wow… such a warm homely feeling. I was so pleased there were down stairs bedrooms to choose from as I found the stairs difficult. May I suggest a second handrail on the stairs. There are 2 shallow steps from the front door through the hall to the bedrooms, stairs and toilet/shower area ( I used the stone walls to grab onto ) I started in the main bedroom but decided to move to the bedroom outside of the shower room for easier access during the night as it was a long walk and had to leave the corridor light on for visual access. The shower room also had a step ( May I suggest a grab rail for supported access). Kitchen area was brilliant, we all loved to 2 different areas.. and separated working/preparation areas. The kitchen was well stocked and we made full use of the facilities - Thankyou. Conservatory - this was our morning Gathering area to plan our day ahead. We used the dining area for main meals but We found the dining chairs very difficult to sit on for long periods of time ( sorry) Upstairs: the lounge was large, spacious and extremely comfortable but not all members of our group could use it. NB: there are raised flooring at the entrance to the rooms which were tripping hazards to our mobile group members. Bedroom with 4 poster bed was used.. family members were very pleased with it especialy the walk in shower. Swimming pool: I booked this property because of the ‘private’ pool and jacuzzi but did not realise that we had to share with 2 other properties. Again, speaking from a physically disabled point of view.. I found the pool very challenging to access ( in and out) and needed assistance with both. I would like to apologise for sounding so negative about my experience, because.. although it was challenging for me, it may not be for others.. but I believe this information is important to know when booking properties. However… as a family unit, we would like to thank the owners for such a lovely ‘stop off’ before travelling to our next destination.. We are home now after covering almost 1000 miles around England .. we have been on a ‘mission’ and fulfilled our quest.

  We have had many self catering holidays in the past but this one at 3 The Old Smoke House surpassed all our expectations. The owner Brian Green was extremely helpful with information and directions. The location at Charlestown and its little very ancient harbour of Tall Ships fame and film sets was delightful with many eating venues and pubs all within less than 5 minutes walk. We were very surprised on arrival to find that the owner had left us a lovely gift wrapped present of local coffee, biscuits and salt etc. Thank you Brian - this was much enjoyed.The property itself was of an extremely high standard, exceptional well-fitted with appliances and the necessary kitchen utensils. The bedrooms, bathroom/shower and sitting room were immaculate and plenty of hot water. In particular I loved the "monsoon" shower although my wife preferred the other attachment since she did not want to get her hair wet! The house and very well maintained little garden was perfect for our dog and the small beach, outside the harbour, ideal for recreation.All in all a perfect holiday and we will definitely return when we are next down in Cornwall.

  We had a wonderful time during our long weekend at Chapel Green.

  We were a party of nine ranging from 8 to 78 years old and we all enjoyed having the use of the indoor pool, hot tub and games room. We found that we used the conservatory as our main hub as we all fit snugly, the countryside setting is lovely (we enjoyed watching the sunrises) and it is right off of the kitchen. The location provides easy access to the area yet the property location is beautifully quiet. The mobile signal is not the strongest and the Wifi is a bit hit and miss too but as we were there for quality family time, this worked in our favour as the kids were happy to play games and go into the pool opposed to being on their phones- they also loved playing hide and seek due to all the space and hiding places. The hosts Julia and David are warm and welcoming and truly showed the positive differences between a home managed by the owners opposed to a management company... fantastic homemade scones too!

  We had a lovely stay at Chapel Green.

  Would go back again. The children enjoyed the pool and garden so much they were reluctant to go out during the day. The garden directly outside the house was great for our old blind dog as it was big enough for her to explore and not wander too far away. The accommodation is spacious with two large double rooms on the lower floors with a shower room. There are a few steps on the lower floor. We found the double kitchen helpful when getting food ready as we had space. The weather was terrible while we were there but having the pool, games room and gym was enough for the children to enjoy and the conservatory was great for us adults to look out at the terrible weather and have a drink and chat. The hosts were lovely and helpful, around if you needed them. The location is great as a base to visit other places like Newquay, local beaches, Eden project and many other places.
