Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, comfortable beds, and the thoughtful touches from the hosts, including a Christmas tree and homemade marmalade. The spacious outdoor area is a hit with families, and the property's eco-friendly features are well-regarded. While some minor suggestions for improvement are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and immaculate. One review suggests room for improvement in replenishing toiletries, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall excellent feedback.

The location is praised for being peaceful and convenient for exploring Cornwall, with attractions like the Eden Project nearby. Some guests note the presence of mines and a less picturesque village in the vicinity, but these do not detract significantly from the property's appeal.

Comfort is highlighted with mentions of comfy beds and a cosy corner sofa. The property's spaciousness and the quality of the showers are also appreciated. A few guests mention the twin bedroom being small and a desire for more comfortable pillows, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

The Corn Store is well-equipped with modern facilities, and guests are pleased with the eco-friendly touches. Some reviews suggest adding blinds or curtains to manage heat and light, and there are minor comments about the need for bathroom hooks and better vacuum cleaner suction. However, these are minor compared to the overall satisfaction with the facilities provided.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the extra touches like a decorated Christmas tree, mince pies, cream, and homemade marmalade. While these gifts are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
