  The cottage has everything you need for two people. It is in a great location for visiting this part of Cornwall and we had plenty to do while we were here. The fantastic weather we had all week was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

  Hello, the outside seating area is only for use by Long View as we the owners only use the back garden. The garden is gated for those who stay with a dog. Thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

• "The holiday let is only the right hand portion of the whole property in the picture (door and 2 windows)."

  Finding the lane entrance was difficult especially with no mobile signal strength along Penhale Road. Leaving the lane was always "hope nothing coming" as impossible to see with walls either side. However, the property was clean, bright and comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were lovely people. It was all we needed for a 'base' for our short break in Cornwall.

• "A lovely quaint little cottage for two, limboing up and down the stairs was quite a novelty but only to be expected at 6' 3" a fully useable kitchen, very peaceful and quiet and a constant fascination watching the birds feeding at the window feeder."

  The only criticism would be finding the occasional time when the shared washing machine and tumble dryer were not both full with washing but not on and stayed like it for hours!

  Yes the washing machine is the one we use as well, most people text me to let me know the want to use it and i will make it available. Property Owner

• "A lovely little cottage and pretty garden and provided a useful unexpected stay for me."

  Just for the property owner- I found all the different air fresheners way too pungent and cloying. The key safe is loose and I imagine can be opened without the code. I moved some of the air fresheners to the laundry room and hope you didn’t mind. If they are needed one scent would be better than the many in use. It’s such a small dwelling I think it would be better without them. The bedroom heating wasn’t working nor the outside light, as my stay was short I didn’t bother contacting you about it. I would have appreciated a tea towel.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Longview cottage but there were a few jiggly things that we found unusual."

  There were no cleaning tools. The only way to sweep the floor was to ask for broom to which we were given a rechargeable dyson vacuum. A broom and mop would have been useful especially as we had our dog with us who sheds hair. When we arrived we were surprised to find the washing machine and tumble dryer were in an out door utility and whenever we needed to use it we had to ask as the owners washing was in them. Finally over the 2weeks we were there a large amount of mould developed on the walls, we kept the windows on the latch to allow the cottage to breathe as requested but it made no difference. There was condensation running down the walls in the bedroom. We live in a similar age cottage and have had this problem in the past and have been able to deal with it. My husband suffers with asthma and the spores from the mould can aggravate it. We did enjoy our holiday and these things weren’t too big a problem.

• "Just back from a week long stay at Longview Cottage."

  Great central location for exploring Cornwall! The cottage is lovely and cosy for 2 + a dog! Very very tall people may struggle or people with mobility issues, but we loved it :) Things to note: The cottage is attached to the owners house but we never heard a peep out of them, just heard their dogs when they got a delivery. The instructions for using the garden could have been clearer - we had to look back on the photos to see what we were allowed to use! (It’s the front garden with the table & 2 chairs on the gravel). We had to buy some additional basic items whilst we were there, just in case this is useful! Tea bags, coffee, sugar, milk, toilet roll, kitchen cleaning spray. The shower scolded me on day 1 - do not flush the toilet before going in to the shower as it plays havoc with the hot water and it didn’t seem to cool down for AGES, then completely stopped and when it started again came out boiling hot (safe to say I didn’t do that again). And the shower pressure is pretty terrible but I guess that may be an issue with older properties? As the property is small, the fridge/freezer is also understandably pretty tiny. If you’re staying for a week like we did you won’t be able to put many days worth of food in there! It gets very hot in the bedroom when it’s sunny - bring a fan!

• "Was a lovely, peaceful, clean well equipped cottage, the garden was beautiful, instructions on how to use equipment was good."

  Bird feeder on the window was a brilliant touch with loads of little visitors. Owners were not intrusive but was assured if anything was needed then you were welcome to knock. Loads of information on places to visit. Central to Cornish amenities. Close to main A Roads. If we could make one suggestion if possible please?? mirror at the end of the drive positioned to enable you to see clearly up the road, a car (that was speeding) nearly took off front of our car as we were edging out. Fantastic break and plan to return next year x

• "Had a lovely holiday."

  .The cottage is ideal as a base for going out&about to lots of areas. Not everyone especially those as us with a long journey of up to 7 hours with stop offs, brings their own foods we did bring some&pets things but a Welcome pack would be lovely things like bread, milk, tea, coffee, eggs , all local we were left ciders they were lovely. Needs to really state what the village has and opening times as the only shop only open to 530 or not late same as the chip shop.I would also let people with small children and pets know that their is a stone wall re garden & there is a drop if climbed on or to car park if got under the hedge. Would be ideal if small fencing was put around this area as our pup got on the wall and jumped.. Lovely lady who owns the cottage & good that you can nip to a shed and use a washing machine and dryer.. If you are wanting a very quiet break with just the lovely birds&local cats, or for going out and about this is ideal..

• "We were not impressed with the stay at Longview Cottage, the area had abandoned cars littered around the village or vehicles that were being repaired and as the car parking area for the cottage could not be seen from the property we did not feel secure in leaving our vehicle there ."

  In the promotion photos it stated that there was a patio area to use attached to the cottage, how can you use this area when you have to jump over a brick wall to access it ?. The facilities were ok but no washing machine , the property was clean and tidy but a lot smaller than expected and as such the problems we have mentioned did not encourage our stay at the cottage, and as we was on holiday to celebrate my 70th birthday we did not feel comfortable in staying, so after 30 minutes or so we returned home.The promotion shots portrayed a cosy romantic cottage for a nice break away but in reality it was nothing of the sort !!!!

  Thank you for your review. Penwithick is a lovely ,safe Cornish village. There are no abandoned cars. The safe car park is inside our property and is gated at night. The pretty patio is easily accessible from the cottage path, you do not have climb over any walls. It is a beautiful, peaceful, exclusive sun trap, we have an abundance of flowers, plants and lawn. If you sit still long enough you might see some wildlife. the washing machine is located in our outhouse along with the tumble dryer, you only needed to ask for directions. The cottage sleeps two, and as such, is a lovely, cosy relaxing place to spend time within. We are in close proximity to a plethora of wonderful beaches, visitor attractions, gardens and harbours. We are sorry that you personally felt the cottage and location was not for you, but the majority of our lovely visitors, who have stayed with us, have had a wonderful time. Property Owner

• "As a property that allows dogs, cleanliness is always an issue with the soft furnishings."

  In this property rugs had dutifully been cleaned however I think the sofa may be beyond help. Lovely scented candles were provided but the sofa was giving off an aroma all of it's own. I did also have to clean under it. They hadn't moved the sofa and done this. Low light fittings and a section at the top of the stairs is very low. A warning of this would be good. The reading lamp was an excellent extra. Never had that before. All in all a lovely place with good heating and facilities.

  The house is over 200 years old stairs are steep as the write up states .The sofa is old and converts into a bed for the renters to use if the stairs are to steep we will clean moor the soft furnishings Property Owner
