  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Penang."

    The property was very clean and comfortable with all mod cons. Perfect location for beaches and sightseeing. The only downside was the steep slope and steps leading up to the property, but once inside, it more than made up for this. We would definitely consider coming back.

  • "The house was beautiful."

    Homely and comfortable. All facilities were clean and well stocked. Could not have asked for anything more. The garden was safe for our dog. The parking perfect. Location was spot on - I would stay again and recommend to anyone wishing to visit Cornwall.

  • "We had a lovely visit here, we were surprised by the amount of space and comfort, and enjoyed the welcome package!"

    Would recommend a family staying here, there are lots of places nearby for day trips and all facilities were top notch. The only thing we’d suggest is sharpening the knives and providing more cutlery/cooking utensils, but otherwise we had a fantastic stay thank you.

    Hi Debra, Thank you ever so much for your kind words, I'm thrilled that you had a lovely visit. Also, thank you for the constructive feedback, we have since sharpened the knifes and added more cutlery and a few extra big pans! You're welcome back any time, Best wishes Ben Property Owner

  • "The property itself was one of the best we have stayed in."

    So clean and brilliantly equipped. I could not fault it at all. My feedback for the house would be a top rating. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the location. St Austell was not the quaint Cornish town we had imagined. There was nowhere within walking distance to eat or visit and everything in town was shut down. The photos of nearby Charlestown on the website for Penang were misleading as this was not where the house was and the pictures were part of what drew me to the house. We drove to Charlestown one afternoon and realised the photos were from there and wished we were staying there instead of St Austell. It would be fine if you only wanted a base from which to drive to other locations, but we like to holiday in a nice location where there are places to walk to, shops and restaurants/ pubs on the doorstep.

    Hi Katy, thank you very much for your kind words about the Property. I'll take your feedback on board re location, thank you for sending them through. Best wishes Ben Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the property was spotlessly clean and well maintained."

    We were comfortable and relaxed and found it the perfect spot for travelling to Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan, there's an Asda 5 minutes away so we didn't have to pack food to travel, and the children were thrilled that there was a (very clean and quiet) McDonalds within walking distance. Our labrador loved lazing in the peacful and well maintained garden. We would most definitely return and recommend to others.

    Real cosy feel to the house. Close to all amenities and easy to get to other places in Cornwall. We had a fab time and would definitely recommend this home for a holiday. Looking forward to hopefully staying here again in the future.

  • "Excellent stay."

    Penang served our purposes well. We were hiking in the area while also working, and with no car, we appreciated the proximity to buses and trains, as well as lots of meal options ... even a Tesco Express over the road. The Wi-Fi worked well with both of us working and holding virtual meetings, and the house was very comfortable and well suited for two people working. Lots of space (even more than we had anticipated in the description). Everything we needed in the kitchen. Unfortunately, given the time of year, we did not get to make use of the outdoor amenities or the garden room, so can't really comment on them. However, we did enjoy being able to have a fire on a couple of chilly nights. Despite the proximity to the road, the house's elevation, plantings and good windows meant that we were not at all disturbed by any noise when we were inside.

  • "We had a wonderful stay!"

    Penang is a truly lovely property, with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. A real feeling of luxury, peace, space and light, whilst also being warm and cosy. The facilities, decor, bedding, towels and garden are all beautiful and very well thought out. We would highly recommend a stay here. We were visiting the Eden Project and Heligan, so perfectly located for this. The local beaches are wonderful. We were a mixed bunch of adults, teens and our old Labrador, and we all felt very at-home and had a wonderful stay.

    Thank you so much for staying at Penang and for the wonderful and kind review. I’m thrilled you had a lovely time, you’re most welcome to come back anytime! Best wishes Ben Property Owner
