Pond Cabin

• "Very friendly owners and helpful."

  Nice quiet area and ideal for sightseeing on either coast. The property was very clean and well maintained and equipped. We did not give the top marks only because my wife found the cooker a little to high for her to see what was cooking in the pans and a little awkward to control the temperature of the rings. This was just our findings and probably ok for most people. We would still highly recommend and will to our friends. We would like to thank Claire and James for a very pleasant week break. Great garden and a lovely touch the flowers and coffee. Thank you again Pat and Peter

• "The property was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay very much."

  Being October the weather was variable but didn’t impede our stay. The owners were very friendly, we live in Australia so we will recommend The Pond Cabin to those of our friends who intend to have a holiday in the UK.

• "Excellent location, remote, beautiful, peaceful and quiet."

• "It is a lovely log cabin with a design I personally have not seen before, central bedroom, kitchen and dining at one end and living room at the other bathroom at one side and a wardrobe, storage and dressing table in the other side which keeps everything tidy, eg suitcases etc."

  The situation is idyllic in a large wooded garden. Touring the bottom part of Cornwall is easy with nothing very far but remember most Cornwall roads are not quick!. We really enjoyed our stay here and when we are back in the area, would pick pond cabin again without hesitation if it was available. David Hope

• "Spent a very relaxing week at Pond Cabin in absolutely beautiful gardens."

  The cabin had everything we needed and more. The extra touches were greatly appreciated. It was comfortable, clean and had very lovely furnishings. The local pub was about a 20 minute walk away (nice walk through fields but close to a main road). The owners of the cabin were friendly and helpful, all in all it made our holiday very special. It was just a shame about the poor weather

  Although the cabin is small, everything was there to be confortable and have a wonderful stay inside. We spend 2 weeks of wonderful time and deep rest.

• "Comfortable but could have been bigger."

  The basin in the bathroom was far too small, would have been ok for a two or three day stay, any longer it was a bit congested. Position of the cabin and grounds was lovely.

• "A lovely peaceful place to stay."

  The cabin was equipped with everything. The sofa and bed very comfortable. Loved walking around the pond. And the gentle stream next to it was very relaxing. Much appreciated the WiFi too. Maybe the only downside was the mini oven as you can only have it on one setting at a time. Despite that, would stay again.

• "Pond Cabin is a delightful little home, snuggled into the Cornish countryside, a short drive from Falmouth, with plenty of local walks."

  The cabin is well insulated and has instant hot water. There are comfortable couches and all the comforts you would expect, including a range of kitchen equipment. If I could have one wish, it would be to have a more sophisticated stove/oven. The system is limited as you cannot have the oven and hob on at the same time, so cooking has to be well timed. That said, everything else was excellent and the lovely owners even provided a coffee machine and packet of delicious Cornish biscuits.

• "We had a really lovely week staying in Pond Cabin."

  James and Claire have thought of everything - even down to flowers from the beautiful garden, coffee pods and delicious Cornish biscuits. Had I known that they would supply so many extras, I would not have taken up space in our luggage with things like kitchen rolls, toilet rolls, tea towels, cling film, tin foil, washing up liquid, soap, shower gel, shampoo...the list goes on and on. There was even a dog basket and dog towels for Jack the Labrador! So kind and so considerate. We send them a big thank you and wish them well for the summer season.

  Thank you for such lovely comments Property Owner

  very secluded and quietgreat for walks and a romantic getaway disappointed that the local pub has closed due to covid and the other 1 is an hours walk however 10 mins in the car

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your break at Pond Cabin. The village pub is closed temporarily bu the locals are hopeful that new tenants will be found soon. In the meantime the Golden Lion at Stithians Lake is going strong and is a 10 minute drive or a 45 minute walk. Property Owner

• "The sofas where uncomfortable."

  It was like sitting on the floor . Mattress on the bed you could feel the springs . The access to the pond cabin was over grown causing scratches to my car in the lane . . It is a nice place but needs updating . And the lane to it needs cleaning up over grown trees

  We were sorry to hear that Pond Cabin did not meet your expectations and we aim to provide a comfortable environment for our guests. In response to your points regarding the sofa and bed; the sofa is lower than some but we would not agree that it is like sitting on the floor and the mattress was commented upon favorably by other guests staying in the same month. Regarding the access lane this is a public highway with the verges under different ownerships and so is not something we can strim. Vegetation can encroach in the height of summer but we drive the lane everyday without scratching our cars. We take great care of the garden which is within our control. We hope that you still enjoyed your week in Cornwall. Property Owner

  Such a beautiful, relaxing setting and so pretty and comfortable inside with everything we need to enjoy our stay with even a dog bed provided for our dog. A lovely big field, garden area to sit outside and let the dog have a roam around and also a bbq supplied to enjoy outside dining. Everything was so clean and the bed very comfortable too. We even had fresh flowers, coffee and shortbread left out on our arrival..Thankyou so much for this wonderful stay, we are very sad to be home today and wish we could have enjoyed another week there. Highly recommend anyone to stay here, its truly lovely and we would love to return one day. Thankyou so much x

  The cabin itself was ideal for us, pretty well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Very convenient for both coasts, and away from the crowded tourist traps. A nice walk up the lane behind the hamlet to Stithians Lake, keep walking to the other side and the pub has a big, well spaced out garden.

• "It was such a peaceful site perfect for my husband, myself and our dog."

  So central for all our trips, and lots to do and great places to eat nearby. Unfortunately the owners were away the week we were there and on the info left in the cabin they said as there was no washing machine they would do a wash for us, as they were not there we couldn't take this offer up. Luckily the weather was great and we were able to make do with the clothes ect we took. It would have been very different had it been bad cold and wet weather and maybe this needs to be looked at if they are away again when the cabin is booked. We are not complaining only making a suggestion. The scones jam and cream on our arrival was a wonderful surprise and really appreciated. Hopefully we can go back sometime.

• "Location was amazing and the setting for the cabin was brilliant, quiet, secluded it was very peaceful and relaxing."

  15 minute drive to a very nice dog friendly beach and 10minutes from the centre of Falmouth. The cabin was cosy and facilities were adequate, some of the cabins features I feel are in need of an update. An appropriate height BBQ would've been handy instead of cooking from the floor and the mattress was very uncomfortable. Overall we were very happy though the cream tea upon arrival was a very nice touch.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sorry to hear you weren't impressed with the bed. The current mattress is quite new and others have reported it to be rather comfortable! Rest assured we will investigate this further. Property Owner

  We were greeted with flowers and a wonderful cream tea with fresh baked scones. It is so peaceful and lovely here with easy walks to the village ( the Seven Stars pub does fabulous meals ) and to the dam and reservoir. A car is a must for getting around Cornwall and this cabin is situated perfectly for anywhere you might want to visit. Ideal garden for children and dogs and we had a very friendly visitor in Harry the cat! The hosts are great, very helpful if you need anything but you have total privacy otherwise. We were snowed in for a day and the cabin was warm and cosy. We had a lovely week and would recommend to anyone.
