What our customers say about their holidays

  This was an exceptional apartment in the most stunning gardens.

  The standard and attention to every detail far exceeded our expectations and was so superior to other places we had stayed while travelling around Cornwall and other countries over the years. Such genuinely welcoming owners who went above and beyond to help with advice on all the fabulous beaches and coves to visit. We arrived tired from travelling and the little special touches such as a bit of milk, tea and coffee were very appreciated. We were amazed to have been left a bottle of wine and packet of gorgeous Cornish biscuits. A lovely welcoming gesture for weary travelling Kayakers. This was quite an unknown area of Cornwall to us. We have been stunned and amazed at this location with it's tremendous beaches, coves and historical harbours. Access to some excellent restaurants and cafes on our doorstep was a fantastic bonus. The quality of the accommodation and the beauty of the area has captured our interest beyond what we had expected. We didn't want to leave on the last day. Wow, what a location. We are planning to return within the year.

  Greeted when we got there and really enjoyed the wine and Cream tea that had been left.

  Family was very nice, there if you need any help but also happy to leave you to get on in peace if you wanted. Property was Very Clean which was lovely. The front garden is an area set for you to sit and relax. Everything you need is provided for, When I booked the holiday I made the mistake of not realising there was no full size oven but that was MY mistake. There is a combination microwave oven and all instructions for all appliances are there if you want to work out how to use it. Not far from many places to drive and visit. Walking distance into Charlestown along the SW Coast took about 30 minutes, you have to be very able bodied to do this. Enjoyed a wander around the local par market which also has food and takeaways.

  The cottage was very clean and whilst listed as a small facility, which it truly is, there were a few things we felt we should raise.

  The bed felt "tired" and was, in our opinion, uncomfortable. The bed creaked every time you moved within it, and the quilt was very heavy for a summer- a lighter weight one would have been better. Whilst the cottage is for two people, the kitchen equipment was lacking. With only one saucepan and one frying pan and very little surface space available; cooking meals was challenging. There should be more bowls and cutlery - you end up re washing the one pot or pan and you cannot put out a complete meal. The location was good - just a few minutes walk to shops, the beach and Charlestown. We adapted but felt there is room for some small improvements.

  Super place to stay, very cosy, with everything a couple need.

  It was lovely to sit in the front garden, either for breakfast, or in the afternoon, with a nice glass of wine and a good book, whilst you recharge your batteries for an evenings exploring. A short walk away from the property is Charlestown. A beautiful historic, former china clay harbour, with a fantastic array of places to eat, drink and be merry. Or simply have a coffee by the harbour side and just people watch! Just a 5 minute walk away is the lovely Carlon Bay beach. Again, lots of beachside eating and drinking opportunities, all on this beautiful beach. As you can probably tell, we had a great holiday. Robert and Elizabeth.

  Absolutely brilliant place to stay.

  Within easy reach of all of the places we intended to visit. Really nice welcoming touches of biscuits and bottle red wine. This has to be the cleanest place we have stayed in for many years. Everything was spotless. Very comfortable. Everything we needed was in place. Cannot fault The Little Beach House at all. Unfortunately we did not get to meet Rebecca but she was very helpful when I spoke with her on the telephone. Chris was a great help especially at the end of our stay when there was a problem with the car. Thank you so much again. Cant wait to stay again in the future.
