"Our second visit to Faraway Cottage."
The weather for once was dry. A mix of sun, cloud, wind. A couple of amazing clear skies so we had a great opportunity to use the telescope. We chose not to use the car for day trips, instead walking straight from the cottage door or just enjoying relaxing, reading and watching some good films on Netflix which is a bonus at a holiday let. also we enjoyed some nice food and purchased locally in Cornwall in addition to the great hamper. We will miss the wonderful scenery from all windows but look forward to our return visit. Thank you for a nice clean cottage.

"Another lovely week at Faraway as always."
We stayed near the cottage, Sennen Cove bring the furthest we travelled. Our week started with some warm pleasant weather but ended cold & breezy. We can recommend Shanty's Fish & Chips in Sennen, very good- but only open Fri & Sat 5-8pm at this time of year. Had a lovely meal as the First and Last Inn and we love a nice meal at the Land End Hotel, magical views on what was a beautiful day. Not as many birds on our walks this time, but a highlight was a chattering of 9 Chough by Carn Les Boel- Our favourite place on the cliffs below the cottage. Looking forward to Bosistow in November and back to Faraway next March.

"Faraway very much feels like my annual ‘home from home’ having stayed for several years in Jan/Feb and there’s something comforting and secure with that familiarity and will be back next year."
In summary, very very happy in Faraway - thank you!

"Thanks for a lovely week in a cosy cottage with everything we could possibly need."
The weather has been so windy that weve not been able to enjoy the cliff top setting but have been to Penzance, St Ives and Truro.

"Comfortable, inviting and off the beaten track - perfect for what we like about a cottage."
Bed extremely comfortable but pillows were rock hard. After a pretty much sleepless night and headache from the pillow I felt the pillows in the other bedroom and, fortunately, the last one I felt was soft. This saved driving home (also Cornwall) to collect my own. Thus, unless potential bookers like hard pillows, I’d suggest taking your own.
Fabulous walking from the door and we look forward to staying at this gem again.

"The cottage is in a beautiful location and just what we wanted."
However, the cleanliness was lacking. Cobwebs, general smell of damp. The front of the house as you approach is green with algae which could be washed off. The freezer was dirty with previous guests bits of food in it. The hamper was crawling with little tiny insects of some kind. The ash collector for the fire was full to the brim. The bins were full of beer bottles. So despite the magnificent location, the presentation of the accommodation was poor. The track up to the cottage needs attention, it's getting to the point that only 4x4 vehicles are suitable.

"The track from the big house down to Bostistow Farmhouse is very bumpy and big pot holes right down to Faraway."
I understand you would spoil the effect of leading down to Faraway if it was tarmaced .
if it was gravelled all the way down would be more easy on our cars.

"We had a lovely stay at Faraway and perfect get away retreat."
Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, views and peace. The cottage was very clean and cosy and the locals we met on walks extremely friendly. Beautiful area to explore.
Our down side would be the unmaintained access land to get to the cottage.
We live in Devon in the country( near the Moors) so we are no towny(!) but found the lane extremely difficult to navigate especially after a huge amount of rain, huge holes in land thick in mud. Our car is filthy and it felt like off roading! Maybe a bit of maintenance on this, filling in some of the holes would make it a little more appealing. Unfortunately for this reason alone we decided not to rebook. Other than that we were very happy with the cottage.

"The facilities at Faraway Cottage were excellent and the cottage was warm and very comfortable, the bathrooms are modern and there was plenty of hot water."
The kitchen is well equipped and although there were a few small maintenance issues they were quickly fixed. We were delighted to be staying at Faraway Cottage and hope to return!

"We have had an amazing week exploring this part of Cornwall."
Weather has been good- spent much time on the beautiful beaches with Nanjizal being our favourite. Faraway Cottage gave us all we had wanted for from our stay, faraway from the rat race! Thank you.

"We've just had the most amazing stay here, and really did feel Faraway from everything."
What a beautiful cottage, we felt at home straight away. Watched to Nanjizal cove, to Land's End and the Headland. We both had our birthdays here, and it was perfect. Low tide and high tide both worth spending time at Nanjizal. Cottage perfect, sea views, roaring fire, warm and cozy even with wind howling outside, 2 named storms in our week, with a day of calm in the middle. Sadly Barbara Hepworth garden was closed, so we'll have to return! Enjoyed St Ives and the Dog Rabbit cave was great for vegans and vegetarians. We are renewed and refreshed and very happy. Thank you very much for everything, we loved it all. Nita and Tony

"We booked Faraway Cottage at the last minute and knew it was the right choice straight away."
As Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of all it's parts." From the Awe inspiring location with amazing views, to little touches of "Bloom soap". The open fire, bedding and towels, the warmth and coziness of the heating. The attentive staff and attention to details. All individually important but together as a whole it created an Awesome Oasis for the soul allowing us to recharge and regroup. Thank you all for this Magical Experience! Jon and Vanessa
