• "The property is small, so it would best suit a couple who travel without lots of baggage."

  That said, it is really well thought out in terms of how the space has been used. The sofa and the bed were very comfortable. The location is perfect for quick and easy access to the coastal path, but also just a couple of minutes walk into Lizard. The lane on which it is located is very quiet. We loved our week staying here and have marked it as a favourite if we want to stay at Lizard again.

• "A very pleasant stay at Rocket Cart House."

  A very well thought out little place. We were initially a bit concerned regarding a review we read about the mattress being uncomfortable! We were happy we slept soundly. It’s a very small place but it is mentioned in the information. We were prepared to practically live out of our suitcase. ❤️❤️

• "Too small to be comfortable."

  The description of "courtyard garden" for us was a stretch to far. It truth it is just the entrance to the property, and with the gate closed no view at all. The bedroom was so small there was not even room to store clothing apart from on the wals. Bathroom tiny with no window and extractor did nor work. Curtains very poor. Water stained and needed changing. On a positive short walk to coast path & village, but not worth the money, & owner very helpful in getting the cooker to work Soory to be negative, but these are our thoughts

• "Hi, a wonderful cottage and location."

  Loved it, small and bijou and beautifully styled. But. It was let down by the mattress which was like sleeping on a bag of dirty laundry. Lumpy, thin and uncomfortable to such an extent that as a side sleeper my arms would wake me up due to lack of blood flow every few hours. Spent 4 nights on the couch away from my wife as I needed to sleep. Such a shame, it’s a lovely place but a holiday with no sleep kind of ruined it for us. A simple fix, drop £800 on a new mattress and it would be 5 Stars.

  Thank you for your feedback we are pleased you loved the cottage and its wonderful location. We can assure you the Kingsize mattress is less than 2 years old, and is an award winning, 23cm deep memory foam 'Emma' mattress. It is checked weekly and has been thoroughly double checked by our housekeeper and myself : neither of us could find any faults such as you describe-it remains a comfortable mattress. It is kept scrupulously clean with 2 mattress protectors one of which is also padded. Our Housekeeper would have been more than happy to help if you had called her with your concerns. Property Owner

• "The property was well thought out, and fittings and fixtures were to a high standard."

  It was smaller than we envisage, but perfectly adequate. The bed and sofa were a little low for my hubby , but very comfortable and we slept like babies. Great location with a 4 minute walk to the coastal path.

• "The accomodation is good however,few details we noticed would improve it,ironing board and iron might be nice,kitchen items such as splatter guard,oven gloves, sweeping brush ,dust pan,and non slip bathmat."

  Apart from these small things it was lovely.

  Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome. Unfortunately, there is not enough room to store an ironing board but we will consider the addition of an iron. All our saucepans have lids and there is a hoover and broom for guests to use. I will look into purchasing an oven mitt and a non slip mat. Property Owner

• "Rocket Cart House is a truly unique property in a perfect location for exploring the beautiful Lizard peninsula."

  The property seemed more spacious than we imagined. The attention to detail, tasteful decor and clever use of space made this a very comfortable holiday properly. Our only minor suggestion is that it would be nice to have the option to open the roof lights on warmer days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and may well return!

• "With great thanks to the housekeeper Jane who went out of her way to make sure I had a hairdryer to use, providing her own for my use!"

  I am also very interested to know about the water heating system at the property, being electric and very efficient, I need to upgrade my own home system and this would seem to be perfect. If you can get in touch I would really appreciate it. This week in the Landewednack/Lizard was perfect, just as I had hoped it would be. Rocket Cart House really is a lovely bolt hole and we didn't want to leave the area, will certainly be back!

  Hi Melanie, We are so happy you had a lovely stay at The Rocket and enjoyed the Lizard.The water heating system we have is as follows: https://www.screwfix.com/p/ariston-undersink-water-heater-2kw-15ltr/9720g Hope this proves useful for you. Property Owner

• "The house looks very similar to the photos, if not a little smaller."

  Space is utilised well throughout and the place was fully functional - hot showers and a very comfortable bed! The location is amazing, feels very remote but still within walking distance to restaurants etc. The only improvement was that although the kitchen/facilities and bed was clean, the sofa and floor felt very dusty/covered in bits which could have done with a Hoover. Perfect stay!

  Thank you for your feedback and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rocket Cart House. In order to give guests a more luxurious touch the owners invested in a black velvet Chesterfield sofa and sometimes this can pick up lint which can be difficult to remove even though the sofa has been thoroughly cleaned. They have therefore taken your comment on board and will be using a different upholstery brush in future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you'll return to Rocket Cart House when you next holiday in Cornwall. Property Owner

• "Outside area was disappointing and we had to clean on arrival to make it usable"

  Thank you for your review. The owners are in the first two months of letting out Rocket Cart House and are sorry the outside area was not to your liking. They have taken up your comment with their House keeping service and understand that when heavy Southwesterlies blow through the Lizard, the honeysuckle around the outside area can shed small leaves and twigs. They will ensure at every change over this area is thoroughly swept in future. Property Owner

• "Everything was as promised - we knew it would be very small."

  However - the cutlery was slightly irritating - trying to manage with tiny teaspoons, then large soupspoons for eating was a problem. The pillows on the bed were very hard - easily remedied. Beautifully dressed and in a great location, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
