  Cottage is lovely and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Lovely treats left for arrival. Fabulous location for exploring. Can't wait to visit again.

  Thank you Jill. It is lovely to hear that your second visit was as good as the first. Little Hamlin is definitely well placed to enable exploring a wide area of Cornwall and Devon over multiple visits. Property Owner

• "Little Hamlin is absolutely lovely and one of the best holiday cottages we've stayed in."

  It was beautifully furnished and had everything we required for our stay. There is a short walk up a track to reach the cottage and then a few steps up to the front door. The lounge is on the first floor, with two doors leading off, one to the bathroom and the other down a few steps to the bedroom. The balcony, which is accessed via a door from the bedroom, is a wonderful sun trap in the late afternoon/early evening and perfect for relaxing with a cold drink while recapping on our day. All rooms are spacious and very comfortable. This is a gem of a holiday home and we will definitely return. The cottage is located in a small village, with a pub opposite the track. The staff and locals were really friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent. A visit to the establishment is a must, and I have to confess we popped in every day to sample their excellent cider. We will certainly be recommending this holiday cottage to our friends and family.

  Thank you so much for your kind words Kamla. I am very grateful that you have shared your thoughts and I certainly look forward to welcoming you back sometime. Property Owner

• "Lovely clean cottage and a real warm & cosy atmosphere which was needed as the weather in general was poor."

  The bottle of wine and cream tea left by the owner was a very kind gesture and much appreciated after a long drive. The Manor House pub opposite was very friendly and served lovely meals. Interesting and beautiful local walks were, literally, available right from the door. The owner lives next door and was always available but never intrusive. Highly recommended.

  Thank you John, for your recommendations for Little Hamlin. I shared your comments with The Manor and they were very appreciative too. Property Owner

• "Really nice cottage, well furnished and equipped and very clean."

  Perfect for a short stay and great location if you're attending a wedding at 'The Green' wedding venue which is 5 minutes drive away.

  Thank you Peter. I am glad to hear Little Hamlin fulfilled all your needs. The Green is walkable, but through lanes so maybe not in party shoes! Property Owner

• "There are lots of steps inside and outside the property."

  Also a semi steep unmade path up to the property. But once you arrive at the property you will not be disappointed. Every little touch is available, even down to salty and pepper! On the whole we had a lovely relaxing few nights away, in a very quiet place. A lovely place to use as a base for holidays. The bottle of wine and the cream tea were a lovely surprise on our arrival.

  Great to hear you had a relaxing time. Thank you. I’ve only just realised how to reply to feedback, so sorry it is rather late, Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage in perfect area for visiting both North and south coasts of Cornwall."

  Great pub in village and cottage itself is comfortable and quiet. We had a wonderful welcome with scones and clotted cream thoughtfully left for us. Cottage is on a small footpath so parking on road close by, but had no problems finding a space each day. We definitely would return and loved our week in this beautiful area as there was so much to see and do.

  Thank you very much for your kind words. I am sorry it has taken me a year to reply, I’ve only just found where I could. I will be very pleased to welcome you for that return trip! Property Owner

  The cottage is small but delightful and the views of the village and gardens from the first floor sitting room is a real bonus. Deborah, the owner is always very friendly and helpful and the cream tea and wine thoughtful extras. There are flowers in the sitting room and bedroom which gives a homely touch. The cottage is well situated for coast, moor and town. Highly recommend this cottage, so pretty and peaceful.

  There was everything there you could need. We thought the whole house was beautifully decorated and was spotlessly clean. The thoughtful little gifts left for us were delicious, thank you so much. We would highly recommend this place and would love to return.

• "This was a very clean and well presented property which we rented over the new year."

  The owner had even put in a small Christmas tree and left a bottle of wine and a cream tea. However the central heating was controlled by the owner and although there was a very nice electric fire in the sitting room, the kitchen and bathroom were cold in the middle of the day. The bedroom and bathroom have sloping ceilings too which is difficult if you are tall as we are.

• "The cottage was very comfortable and spotless."

  The owner Deborah had left a generous welcome pack and was on hand when I arrived. I'd seen details of the difficulties in parking in several reviews, but this was particularly bad when residents and visitors to the pub opposite were already parked on the return from a day out. I could see from the listing that the access path was unmade, but was not expecting it to be so steep and dangerous with loose shale and rocks. This was a big problem when unloading and loading several items of luggage, and when coming and going each day. The listing should be clear that this property may not be suitable for the elderly and people with mobility problems

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are delighted to hear that you found Little Hamlin to be comfortable. We do our best to ensure that the listings and photos for each property are clearly depicted and described. We have adjusted the text to provide further clarity in this case. We understand that you arrived in bad weather following a storm, so some debris may have been washed down the lane as a result. The Owner does sweep and regularly strim the lane to ensure it is in good order for incoming guests. Property Owner

• "A really lovely cosy place to stay we had a lovely stay, the views from the property are amazing and it is situated brilliantly for walking holidays!"

  Very clean and tidy. The owner is very kind and helpful, on a couple of occasions when returning after dark she left her outside light on until we got back so we could see our way back to the property! The only thing to be aware of is that it is situated on a fairly steep hill so parking on the road at times can be tricky if there are a lot of cars about, although this only happened once or twice!

  Deborah the landlady is very accommodating and welcomes you in which is a nice touch. When you arrive there is a lovely welcome in with Deborah providing a bottle of wine and some super scones and clotted cream. The cottage is immaculate and has all the amenities you need for your stay. The cottage is situated in Rilla Mill which is a great location to be based to start your Cornwall visit. We had a great week there visiting places like Boden and Looe and also had a couple of visits to the village pub accross the road from the cottage. They did a lovely sunday lunch. The locals are really friendly and made us feel welcome. A great experience that we will cherish with some great memories. Thanks Sykes.

• "Little Hamlin is a lovely cottage, very clean and of a good size."

  The added touches of small vases of flowers, the bottle of wine and cream tea was lovely. The only problem we did have was with the lack of hot water, took a very long time to get even warm water from the taps and was very slow running - this is explained in the information pack in the cottage. Owner very nice and welcoming and would definitely recommend.

  Thank you for your kind comments. I am really pleased you would recommend Little Hamlin to others. I am sorry you experienced a problem with the hot water. There was an airlock in the hot water system which I didn't realise about until you had gone. Thank goodness the shower is electric and independent of the hot water system. I hope it didn't impact too much on the enjoyment of your holiday. It's all fixed now. Property Owner

  The views from the living room window, which was on the first floor, were of the village and surrounding woods and fields. The cottage was clean and comfy and well equipped. It is in a great location for visiting Bodmin Moor, the local towns and reasonably close to seaside locations such as Looe and Polperro. Just a few yards away is an excellent pub/restaurant which is friendly and provides good pub food.
