• "Location is very good to access Cornwall."

  Owners were lovely and the property was very clean and very well maintained. It is very cosy for two. Only criticism is storage in the bedroom not a lot of room for clothes. Overall a very good holiday home.

  Hi Thanks for your feedback we do take feedback and appreciate your comments. There is a built in wardrobe with shelves above for jumpers and several drawers in the wardrobe. There is also hanging space in the hall but I can add some hangers here to add space for coats. It is a smaller 2 person property hence the very reasonable price compared to alot of holiday lets in Cornwall. I do think there is plenty of space for a holiday as it is a holiday let not a house or hotel. Thanks we are glad you enjoyed your stay despite the wardrobe space. Property Owner

• "This was a very small ( almost tiny ) place The toilet seat would not stay on ,the shower was very slow There was no oven therefore very difficult to cook your own foods even the microwave was difficult to use The microwave was very noisy The kitchen/dining area was extremely small and the sofa was too low and difficult to raise up from."

  We had to leave the hall light on all night as it was dangerous to walk from the bedroom to the toilet due to the danger of falling on the steps to use the bathroom/ toilet in the dark. The television was small. It was not possible to open and leave the windows open at night more than half an inch at the most thus very little fresh air coming in

  This review is unfair. It is not dangerous as there is a sign for the very small step. As you say there are plenty of lights. The television is new and has all connections to netflix etc. It is a shame you did not mention any of this when you were here. We are not a house and do not advertise ourselves as such. The windows do open fully to let air in, there is a catch at the top to allow this so this is also untrue. Property Owner

• "Thank you for the little extras."

  Bed comfortable and lovely linen. The beach was on a slope more than 5 minutes away and not suitable for folk with mobility issues. Maybe that should be advertised so folk know in advance.

  Thanks for the feedback. The house itself is on a flat site and there are pavements all the way along the road which is also very flat. Cornwall is quite hilly and many beaches are at the bottom of steps or slopes, although there are many close by that you can park at such as Pentewan. Also our facilities have recently had a refresh, the garden is maintained weekly by a gardener and as you can see from the photos it has new windows and the mattress and TV are also brand new. The driveway has been power washed and the windows have been cleaned. Property Owner

• "The location was perfect for the places we wanted to explore."

  The property was easy to access and had everything we needed. The two-ring hob and microwave were sufficient for the cooking we intended to do, and we were provided with ground coffee, milk, biscuits and chocolates on arrival. The sauna was an unusual basis especially when we came back soaking wet and needed somewhere to warm up. The owners were friendly but unobtrusive. Highly recommended. Great value for money.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday. Chris and Rebecca Property Owner

• "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.

  Thanks for the great feedback. It was a pleasure to host you both! We are so glad you had a great time! Property Owner

  The property was clean, tidy and very peaceful, we had access to the front garden where we could enjoy a drink in the evening sunshine. It was also very cool which was a welcome bonus given the heatwave we were having.

• "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.

  Nothing went wrong just very disappointed with holiday let for the price charged,no comfortable seating no cooker as such no kitchen utensils will not be booking again

  Thank you for your thoughts, we are sorry that you were disappointed, we have had many positive comments as you can see from the past feedback. There is no cooker at the property as stated in the description, there is a combi microwave oven, and electric 2-ring hob available. Thank you for bringing our attention to the sofa which has since been repaired. The Little Beach house is very well equipped with all the usual utensils plus some extras. The price is also very reasonable. Property Owner

• "Very good location but that’s about it."

  The furnishings in the property are old and uncomfortable. The property needed a good deep clean, there was so much dust at the side and back of the bed frame that it was starting to mould. Luckily we had a beautiful week of weather so only needed to spend limited time inside the property.

  Thank you for your feedback, we take all comments on board and will action the points raised accordingly. If you had contacted us during your stay we would of been happy to assist with any issues you had. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location of the property. Property Owner

• "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.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the location of the property. Had you mentioned, when we spoke to you during your stay, that you would have liked further cooking equipment we would have made this available for you. We do feel that bed comfort is personal preference and it is hard to please all guests in this regard. The property is cleaned by ourselves to a high Covid standard on every changeover so we were surprised to read your comments. Our feedback is normally positive and we have many repeat guests to our property. Property Owner

• "Lovely little holiday."

  Place was clean and tidy. Jacuzzi was nice. Welcome scones were a bonus. We went all around Cornwall and neighboring areas but not much to do there so we did get a little bored. Owners live directly joining the building so not suitable for noisy people who may like a drink and play lively music As you can hear every movement. But overall a nice break in a nice little beach house.

  The little beach house is in an ideal spot for everything you need. Close to a beach which was busy but not overcrowded. It had places to get food and drink, ice cream van. Pub,restaurants,supermarket all within walking distance. The little beach house had everything you needed with an added extra of your own private sauna which we used every day. The owners also welcomed us with a few cornish goodies in the fridge to start our holiday with. Lovely place, lovely setting, gorgeous weather and lovely owners. Couldn't ask for more !!!

  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.

• "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.

  Chris and Becks were welcoming and there was a "cream tea" and a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Thank you. The apartment is well placed to get to all sight seeing venues.

  Rebecca and Chris very friendly and helpful. Accommodation small but well appointed. Small double bed was a slight issue for us as we are used to a super king. Could do with a little more cutlery in our opinion. Lovely area for exploring. It was a shame that the imminent arrival of storm Callum decided us to make a run for home two days early but we had had four beautiful weather days to start our week so we’re quite happy.
