  We were very, very happy renting Little Trespettigue for a week over the New Year.

  As parents, we loved it, and so did our two girls, especially due to the many birds, dogs, cats, horses and sheep, lots of life to enjoy seeing around, and the huge forest to explore just nearby! We absolutely enjoyed having a fireplace to set alight at the end of every wet and cold day. We were surprised by the facilities (especially for cooking) provided, we are so used to not having useful pans that we always bring our own, and this time that was absolutely not necessary! One thing that we could perhaps suggest to improve: waste management (e.g. green/brown, blue, black bins, ashes), although this must probably be dealt with at the community level if no facilities to separately collect these are presently provided. Simon (unfortunately Beverly was not around when we were there) was extremely friendly and helpful and we were very impressed by the generous welcome pack.

  Cottage was peaceful, clean, and well equipped with wonderful views.

  The owners were friendly and on hand in case of any problems. Our only one was that at first we couldn't get Wi-Fi but it was soon sorted. If you didn't fancy going far there's a lovely walk down to the river, or we found a stroll round the village after supper enjoyable - the church has a wonderful graveyard with stones going back to the 1700s. There's so much to do quite close. Both Dartmoor and Bodmin, but the beaches are also not far - although we were there for Moor walking really so didn't get to the coast. We did visit the Otter Sanctuary and Davidstow Airfield Museum, both we would highly recommend. Our four night stay was just perfect and we would highly recommend the property. OK is this too good to be true? Here we go then I've found a moan ....... The very hard British Isles Jigsaw has a corner piece missing!!!!!!!

  As a family of five, we stayed at Little Trespettigue over the Christmas period and found it was perfect for the occasion.

  The cottage is lovely and the owner had kindly left us essentials on arrival which were generous. A Christmas tree and other tasteful decorations had been added, which were also a pleasant touch. The views from the cottage are wonderful, especially from the shower room and the cottage itself is well equipped, comfortable and provides everything needed. The setting of the cottage is perfect if you enjoy being out in nature and like peace and quiet. The woodland walks which are accessible from the back of the garden are very enjoyable and we just wish that we'd had more time to explore. The owner of the property named Simon is extremely helpful and welcoming and made us feel at home. It was a pleasure to meet him. .

  Lovely little cottage on the banks of the river.

  One neighbour has appointed herself traffic/parking officer and makes no secret of the fact that visitors are not welcome and parking in the road is/should not be allowed. (no restrictions are on the road) However it's not too difficult to park in the road across the river, accessed by a pedestrian bridge. The cottage is fine, ideal for two or a small family. One thing must be remedied is the heating. It has a locked thermostat box. No problem with that but during the colder months the temperature must be raised. Having the internal temp.set to 21 degrees when the outside temp. is below zero will nit raise/keep the internal temp. sufficiently warm. Oyher than that a good holiday home.

  Rainbows End is a true Cornish gem!

  There’s not much I would change about this wonderful cottage. From the minute we walked in we felt at home, the open plan downstairs makes it feel very light and airy. The kitchen is very well equipped, the lounge is comfortable and the downstairs shower and toilet is a great advantage. The whole cottage was clean and decorated extremely well. The location is great too, 30 minutes to the coast each side, lots of amenities close by. We loved listening to the ducks on the river and the cockerel next door each morning! One duck in particular sounded like he/she was laughing just at the right times during our conversations :) We will definitely be returning, it was perfect!
