  Cottage was clean and cost, and a great base to explore the lovely area with all its beaches and coastal walls, we were also blessed with lovely weather all week. The area that the cottage was set is rural and quiet, the use of their field was great to walk the dog first thing. Would recommend this cottage

• "Had I known the route to the cottage involved navigating a mile of single vehicle track every single time you left the property I would’ve found alternative accommodation."

  I drive a large vehicle and this daily challenge took the shine off the holiday. Also both pathways both front and rear are overgrown meaning the front entrance could not be used at all and we had to use the lawn to enter the property from the rear. Aside from this issue the cottage itself was lovely as were the owners

• "Lovely cottage and the hosts were very welcoming."

  You won’t regret booking this one. It’s quiet, clean and the beds were very comfortable and we found it a really good base to see Cornwall. Kitted out with all the stuff you may not have brought for cleaning, etc.. Only thing to note, the 2nd room has a sky light which hasn’t got a blind to prevent morning sunlight coming through and to high for a black out blind - meaning the kids were up even earlier! Apart from that the cottage was perfect.

• "Superb holiday accommodation; a delightful stone-built eco-friendly Cornish cottage, beautifully renovated/rebuilt."

  Owners are local, and exceptionally kind and helpful. We stayed for 2 weeks and had barely touched the surface in terms of fabulous walks in the area. We alternated days exploring beaches, coves and NT properties etc., with no-car-day walks from the cottage with our dog. Just a joy to stay there. Do visit the Cornish Barista, just up the lane, as often as possible and check out the amazing whisky and gin stocks in Constantine. We loved Halvasso.

  We loved all the beautiful pine wood inside and were absolutely over the moon to find a CD player, DVD player and board games - we made extensive use of all of these as we only play music through CDs and only ever watch DVDs! Everything in the cottage was perfect for us - so PLEASE DON'T CHANGE A THING!

• "We had a fantastic stay at Halvasso."

  The cottage was very comfortable, warm and cosy. We really enjoyed use of the log burner and everything you may need was thought of even down to a lemon squeezer! The dishwasher and washing machine made the stay practical and minimum fuss also. Beds were very comfortable and i would thoroughly recommend staying at the property and am likely to return in the future. Candia and David were perfect hosts and on hand if required. The location is also superb for exploring both the North and South Cornwall coastline and at just over a mile off a main road was not difficult to access. An excellent property.

  For various reasons we haven't been able to go back in many years but it was always our favourite and we finally got to go again and we still loved it. It hasn't changed a bit and really felt like coming home. The owners are brilliant, left lots of nice treats (thank you so much) but more importantly popped over instantly when we thought we had an issue with the heating. Their customer service is second to none. It remains our favourite cottage.

  Perfect location for visiting Falmouth, Lizard Point and the beautiful Helford River. The hosts are delightful and on hand if needed. Two minor points - the steep step down to the cottage was dificult for me as have minor mobilty issues and this was not mentioned in the listing. The cottage is perfect for two adults, maybe three, but 4 would be a bit of a squeeze as second bedroom very small.

• "Quaint cottage and a beautiful cottage garden although access down the path restricted due to overgrown bushes and plants."

  Step down from garden to back door large which can make it difficult for people with mobility issues. Shame about the front garden not being usable as it would make a lovely sun trap when the weather is good. Didn't feel very dog friendly with the number of restrictions in place despite paying a lot of money for the privilege of bringing our dogs.. Apart from that the owners are lovely people who went the extra mile to ensure we felt welcome. Would definitely recommend this cottage as the comments above are merely our opinion of our experience during our stay and in no way are meant to convey anything other than that.

• "In the details of Halvasso Cottage, it should explain that the second bedroom with two single beds is particularly small!"

  The two beds are against the wall on each side and space down the middle for you to access your bed is about 5/6 inches! Therefore only one can get into bed at a time! There is nothing in the details of the cottage to say that there is no wardrobe and no cupboards or drawers! The only hanging space is one hook on the back of the door. The room is also so small that you actually cannot shut the bedroom door as it cannot get past one of the beds. We had to share our friends wardrobe and drawers in the main bedroom. Very difficult as we had to ask our friends if it was ok to come in and put our clothes away and, in the morning, to ask if it was ok to come in and get out our clothes in the morning. There is no room at all to leave clothes on the floor, not that we wanted to do that! Our shoes we left in a bag in the lounge to try and make life a little easier! I would suggest that the cottage is only suitable for a family with small children or just one couple. If a family has two children of age, say, 11 or over, it would be too small. As the access to the cottage is from the back where you park the car, the path down the garden to the back door is overgrown with lovely roses and flowers but, if it has been raining you either walk through the wet grass or brush past soaking wet roses and bushes to get to the door. It is a small thing but annoying if raining. We did mention it to the owners when returning the key but the gentleman said that his wife loved the beautiful bushes, roses etc. Access can be made at the front of the cottage but as the car is parked at the back, it makes more sense to use the back gate.The lounge and kitchen are absolutely fine, comfortable and clean, it is just the upstairs and maybe some garden maintenance would help! I hope this feedback is helpful to you and would appreciate your comments.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The owners carefully monitor the comments from their customers and will always take the appropriate action based on the general consensus of opinion. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our trip to Halvasso cottage."

  The cottage itself is well presented with a good selection of items to make it feel like home from home. We particularly appreciated the efforts the owners put in to accommodate us having a baby and also the Covid related measures necessary at this difficult time. The bottle of wine, milk and chocolates on arrival, together with the owners both popping round to check we were OK were also greatly appreciated. In terms of location, if you stay here, the Pandora Inn and Herron Inn are both relatively close and good pubs to visit. Kynance Cove is further away but a must if the weather is good. Trelissick Gardens and Trebah Garden are also both close and great for a picnic in the sun. I'd also say book early and rent a boat on Helford River. It's a great way to see the stunning Falmouth estuary which is on the doorstep of Halvasso. Thanks for a great stay. Best.

  However I would not have booked if I had known how far from the main road down basically a farm track the property was . Also the second bedroom really would not fit two adults so it needs mentioning on the part of sleeping four . Staying one week also became a challenge for storing clothes as the wardrobe space is inadequate to say the least . We are retired and average ten breaks a year and felt disappointed this time . We left after five nights Thursday 10th of May and checked into a hotel for the last two nights .

Garden ideal for our small dogs. Would definitely consider booking this property again. Property says it sleeps 4 but I think that would be a tight fit for four adults.
