  • "Best holiday cottage ever!"

    Clare was amazing, so friendly and helpful. Loved everything about the cottage. Kitchen is a cooks dream. High end equipment, couldn’t believe finding an Ninja air fryer and a Hotel Chocolat velvetiser. Not what you would normally expect from a rental cottage. Garden and views amazing. Enjoyed the company of the hens and horses. So nice to be welcomed by the ingredients for a Cornish cream tea.

    Wow Janet, thank you so much for your wonderful review,so glad you enjoyed Bumblebee Cottage, for our first season it’s lovely to hear the feedback! Claire and Deryk Property Owner

  • "A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting."

    Well kitted out kitchen with plenty of electrical sockets all over. The small roads can be a bit tricky if you’re not used to it. The cottage is well placed to explore the whole of the area north and south coast and the many inland attractions, including the Eden project and the Luxulyan valley. We particularly liked Fowey, parking at the north end and walking down through the village.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed Cornwall, Claire and Deryk Property Owner

  • "We stayed in Bumblebee Cottage during the week of 13-20 September 2024, with our lively sprocker Bailey, and the cottage is FABULOUS!"

    ! The owners have created a comfortable, cosy and well-equipped retreat, with everything presented spotlessly clean. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. The beds were really comfy, and the WiFi and TV reception was excellent. The area is great for dog friendly beaches and pubs, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Bumblebee Cottage as a great place to stay. You won't be disappointed.

    John, Heather and Bailey. We’re thrilled with the feedback you’ve posted. Thank you. Its comments like these that makes letting out cottage worthwhile spurring us to create a retreat for others to enjoy to sample the gems local to our area. I hope you will all return as it’ll be a pleasure to have you back. Deryk & Claire. Property Owner

  • "It’s been an incredible enjoyable stay at bumblebee cottage."

    Beautiful wished we stayed longer. Exceptional hospitality and just a dream that will be heartfelt. Gold stars from entering being welcome to leaving. The cottage just star quality and the scenery of the landscape garden delux. Fell in love and never seen anything so amazing. Definitely returning at some point and a gem and worth while booking. Highly recommended just to unwind from the pressures of a busy lifestyle or just for anyone seeking the Cornish magic within a short distance of coastline, historic places at the end of the day you can have peace within the beautiful landscaped garden of incredible dragonflies and elegant goldfish/koi fish. Artist paradise.

    Both Claire and I are overwhelmed by your kind words. We strive to make all of our guests holiday experiences the most comfortable and enjoyable as we can. We would love to welcome you back again. Property Owner
