• "A really peaceful & rural location."

  We used the Little Retreat as a retreat! having a new kitchen installed. Being older we did not go far but were just happy to be local & call home if necessary. The bed was really comfortable & bungalow very clean. Every attention was paid to what we might need, thank you. We would have no hesitation in recommending the 'Little Retreat' to others.

  Thankyou very much for your great feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay and found everything you needed and to your liking. Thankyou also for recommending our bungalow to other people. Many thanks.kind regards and best wishes Property Owner

• "Nicely appointed and well kept property."

  The one small niggle was the rather flakey WiFi signal - maybe we just hit a a poor WiFi period.

  Thankyou for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. We have private wifi installed and is 100% normally, maybe the weather affected it briefly perhaps.? Kind regards and best wishes Property Owner

• "Lovely property with what you would expect from a holiday."

  The only problem was because of the foliage at the rear, the lounge area was always dark. It would have nice to have a bench seat with a table so you could sit outside of an evening. It’s a small point, if you are leaving biscuits and milk for your new customers, some tea, coffee and sugar would help to make a drink when you arrive otherwise the milk on its own doesn’t work.

  Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay, our cleaner normally leaves a small pot of coffee, tea, and sugar and milk(and complimentary biscuits!) but forgot this time so apologies the coffee ,tea and sugar were not there when you arrived).the patio area is a nice private area compared to others and enjoys the afternoon sun and the main lounge door opens onto the patio, so I suppose it's a personal preference depending on your daily schedule. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

• "I spent several weeks in Little Retreat in Rosecraddoc."

  It is a two-bed detached bungalow and is located in its own corner of the estate, a good distance from the bungalows opposite, with just one neighbouring property. The bungalow is well-proportioned, measuring roughly 25' x 20' - approximately 500 sq. ft. Plenty of space to feel right at home. It has a private garden area which is partially secluded. Claire, the host, is very friendly and always happy to answer any queries or provide assistance.

  Thankyou SO much for your great review. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed your stay and found our property to your liking. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future Best wishes and kind regards Claire Property Owner

  On entering the property we could smell damp I think If someone had gone in before we arrived and put the heating on it might have prevented this but that was a big put off the living room was very dark even through the day we had to have the lights on the TV was on a bracket on the wall which was broken and it was on a slant and too far away from were we was sat the heating was at the opposite end of the room to were we was sat so we didn't feel the benefit on the Friday and Saturday 29th +30th of September it rained over night causing damp to come on the ceiling of the main bedroom and over the patio doors I made the owner aware of this he said he would get somebody to look at it but said I hope it doesn't affect your stay but it did on the monday 2nd of October my wife went down with the flu then on Tuesday I also went down with the flu so the second week we did not go out anywhere due to being too ill I have a video of the damp which I've already sent to you it spoilt our holiday we even came home a day early and stayed at the premier Inn halfway home because we was too ill to travel all the way we put this down to the damp

  Hello and thank you for your review, The cleaner leaves a welcome pack of tea, milk and biscuits, and will put the heating on when it is cold in the property. The living room has patio doors and windows as can be seen from the pictures on the website and is a light and bright room on a sunny day. Unfortunately it sounds like it was a dark and miserable day when you arrived ,there are double lights in the ceiling and also a stand up lamp in the corner. The TV bracket pulls out and away from the wall first, and then swivels towards any position you prefer including facing the sofa. The chalet has radiators with thermostats in every room and can be set to heat the whole chalet to 32 degrees if necessary. We have rented and also stayed there ourselves in the winter time, when icy and snowy conditions. The chalet is double glazed and can be heated throughout to any comfortable temperature and the large boiler provides hot water for showers and baths. You called me on my mobile phone when there was heavy rain for two days and said that a damp patch had appeared in the ceiling. I asked you if you were ok to remain there and you said you were. If you had informed me that you could not stay there then we and Sykes could have found you alternative accommodation on the Rosecraddoc Holiday Estate. In the absence of any other contact from yourself we presumed you were ok to stay for the rest of your break. I said we would get someone to look at the issue. We have now had pictures of the ceiling and the builder has concluded that a break in the drain pipe at the back of the house has meant that water has been slowly leaking into the ceiling, and the two days of terrible rain tipped the damp patch into a bigger issue. There has been no leak from the roof as all of the tiles have been checked and are fine, so unfortunately it was a slow leakage from the broken drainpipe until the heavy rain. The builder has now been contracted to mend and clean all of the gutters and remove the current damp and then damp-proof and repaint the ceilings. We immediately purchased a de humidifier when we saw the pictures, we could have had that delivered to you while you were there, but as you had confirmed you were fine to stay there we did not know it was necessary to do so. Of course it is unfortunate that the weather was terrible in Cornwall during your stay and you caught the flu. I do hope you have both recovered and can please understand we always try to help in any way if there are any problems during peoples stay at our chalet. Please if anyone else is reading this review before considering staying at our property, we would kindly ask you to look at our overall ratings and reviews and be aware if there is ever any unforeseen circumstances we always try to help asap. Kind Regards and Many Thanks Property Owner

• "Little retreat was exactly as described."

  It had everything could you need inside and was very clean and tidy. It was lovely sitting outside first thing in the morning and later in evening feeding the various birds and couple of squirrels that came to patio. A clean well kept tidy site. It would of been nice to get the local news and weather on the TV instead of the Midlands news, but the radio gave us that so that's good. The only negative from us and I must stress this is purely a personal thing is we didn't find the bed or settee comfortable.

  The interior was very good but the exterior needed a clean there is a large pine tree to the rear and it sheds its needles and as the patio is covered with moss and it was a wet week they stick to your shoes and consequently transfer in side as there was no broom I bought one and swept them as best I could

  It would be good to have a few more bowls and large plates (to serve on) especially if there four people staying. 3. The listings stated that the pub and restaurant on site would be open, but it appears its only open certain times of the year. 4. Although there was tea, milk and biscuits left as a welcome, (which was great) perhaps a larger welcome pack could be left to get the holiday makers over to the next day to go shopping, as the nearest shop is quite a distance from the site. We only say this as we were hoping to have a meal in the restaurant when we got there and were going to go shopping the next day, but as the restaurant wasn't open we had to go shopping immediately after a long journey, . 5.
