Guests say

Guests have enjoyed their stays at The Old Piggeries, particularly praising the comfortable master bed and the peaceful area. The welcome gifts of scones, cream, jam, biscuits, and milk were appreciated. However, some guests reported issues with dampness and cleanliness in certain areas.

While the property was described as extremely clean by one guest, others reported dampness, mould, and cobwebs, indicating inconsistency in cleanliness standards.

There is not enough information provided in the reviews to accurately assess the location of the property.

The master bed received high praise for its comfort, but there were suggestions for a king size bed and complaints about dampness affecting comfort in other areas.

Guests did not use the Kenegie facilities and there were negative comments about the property's maintenance, including damp cupboards and mould on equipment.

The provision of welcome gifts was a thoughtful touch, although it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Settled on the outskirts of Gulval, Cornwall in the breath-taking Penwith Heritage Coast area and on the popular Kenegie Manor Park is The Old Piggeries. This single-storey lodge benefits from a fantastic location on a holiday park offering an array of family-friendly activities including an indoor swimming pool, tennis court, putting lawn and children’s play area as well as an on-site pub and shop and welcoming, open-plan interior perfect for families looking to explore the wonders of Cornwall. Make your way into your new home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen area where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar. Later, snuggle up in front of the warmth of the crackling woodburning stove and flick on the Smart TV ready for a much-needed movie night. When the sky darkens, tuck the kids into the fun twin room before washing off the day’s adventures in the shower room and sloping off to sleep in the sumptuous double bed. If you can tear yourself away from the park and its amenities, venture to the coast where you can spend sunny days meandering along the shores of long rock beach, an idyllic spot to admire the picturesque views across the sea while the kids and your beloved canine companion splash around in the sea. The beautiful coastal town of Penzance lies nearby and houses the Penlee House Gallery and Museum, the Savoy Cinema Bar and Restaurant and the stunning harbour home to an array of bars and eateries with a waterfront view, there is also an outdoor lido where the kids can swim safely. The iconic Cornish town of Marazion is also easily accessible offering the opportunity to walk across, or take a boat, to St Michaels Mount home to a medieval castle boasting unique views of the mainland and across the channel as well as charming sub-tropical gardens. Make unforgettable memories at The Old Piggeries.

Gulval is a small Cornish town located in what was once the Penwith area. Gulval, like Heamoor, was formerly its own parish but was merged with that of Penzance, Madron, and Ludgvan in 1934, making it essentially a suburb of Penzance. However, Gulval has kept its old-world beauty, and the local church has features that date back to the 12th century. There is also the Coldstreamer Inn, rumoured to be one of the oldest in the country, and a granite drinking fountain from 1910 in the town square. All around the area that once served as the town square is a fascinating assortment of Victorian-era homes and cottages. You should definitely check out the historic district of Penzance, which is renowned for its profusion of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical vegetation. The surf beaches of Sennen Cove and Porthcurno are other popular tourist destinations. The Minack Theatre, St. Michael's Mount, Poldark Country, Mousehile, etc., are also excellent options for fun day trips.

    I complained to Sykes holidays because we had no photos they dismissed it.very unhappy would not use again

  • Gary

    Lovely touch by the owner and a big thanks for the scones, cream, jam, biscuits and milk on arrival. Nice quiet area and perfect for families. The only negative comment would be the rear bedroom cupboards are very damp and equipment left by owner such as baby high chair & ironing board etc. were all covered in mould and I would not recommend hanging any clothes in this cupboard.
