"Absolutely beautiful cottage and would happily return."
It was booked as a birthday treat for my other half and we were not disappointed at all. It was everything we wanted and a welcome escape. The owner even left us a cream tea to enjoy whilst we were there. The only downside was we couldn’t get the bottom oven to work whilst we were there but we managed to use the top oven anyway so not really a problem. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Good evening oven is working it seems that it was on timer so all ok ... Thank you for your kind words Property Owner

"Lovely host, understanding and accommodating"

"Our second consecutive stay over the last two years and it was as good as the first."
Immaculate, clean and very comfy place to relax for a quiet week away. Perfectly situated to explore all of Cornwall and neighbouring Plymouth. Being extremely picky, the TV could do with an upgrade to a Smart TV where guests, if they wish could sign in to their own TV platforms such as Netflix, Disney, Prime etc. and have a wider choice than the FreeSat channels. This is just my opion and would by no means stop me visiting a third time next year. My wife and I love stopping here at Nightingale Cottage.
Thank you for your lovely feedback it means a lot glad you enjoyed your 2nd stay with us noted about TV see you next year Property Owner

"The property needed a bit more cleaning."
Cobwebs/ hand rail bathroom door were unclean.. property owner arsked for comments at the end of stay wich we did. But wasn’t happy with our comment.. ie. Flys coming in every time frunt door open.. was told it’s the country. And to be expected.. yes it was nice of owner to leave scones and cream. But nice if we could have milk to go with. Glasses in bathroom. None. Was told dangerous. U can use plastic???. Cottage photos need updating to the ones on web site..
good morning i have no words to be honest have a happy summer Property Owner

"The property was beautiful, clean and welcoming, the property owner had left cream teas for us on arrival which were delicious."
Everything was in the cottage that you could want for self catering. The owner delivered fresh bedding and towels for our second week it was lovely to meet her in person, very personable and friendly. The location of the cottage was great , we went site seeing every day with so many beautiful places to visit and most not too far away. The area where the cottage is situated is really peaceful apart from the birds which is always lovely to hear, with no light pollution and clear sky's at night we slept really well ever night. Would thoroughly recommend

"We had a lovely week at this sweet little cottage, although small it had everything we needed."
The courtyard garden was a real sun trap & very pretty, it was also very private, & the communal areas were very well maintained. A perfect place to come back to after a busy day.

"We had a lovely stay at Nightingale Cottage."
Very well equips and clean. The cottage is in a great location for exploring different parts of Cornwall. We would happily stay at Nightingale again. The only thing we did find was still bring March, during our stay, at times it was a little on the cool side in the cottage.
Evening There are extra modern heaters on the wall in both bedroom and lounge area it is all listed in the handover folder if you got chilly....also wood burning stove in bedroom.... but i'm surprised as it's on control set at 21 so it should always be warm with the underfloor heating. i will check the controls to make sure no one has fiddled with them.., see you again hopefully glad you enjoyed our little cottage .... thank you Property Owner

"We had such a beautiful time in Cornwall and Nightingale Cottage was a big part of that!"
So comfortable, welcoming and incredibly well equipped. A very warm welcome when we arrived, directions were spot on too, definitely don’t follow sat nav. Loved the decoration, was just perfect. We ate at the cottage every evening and didn’t want for anything in the kitchen. My only suggestion would be some more ideas on restaurants/take away in the local area, we did want a take away one evening but didn’t know where was best. The folder left in the cottage had lots of great information about walks and places to visit too. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your lovely comments I take on board all comments and will look into adding some takeaways restaurants in and around the area To the folder at the cottage Thank Karen Property Owner

"What a find this little gem is."
There is nothing that has not been thought of. Immaculate - if you are a 'neat-freak' then this is one place you will be able to relax in, it is cleaned to a very high standard. A comfortable 'firm' mattress, and nice bedding & towels that smell delightful. Quality furnishings and the added bonus of a washing machine and dishwasher - detergents included. Lashings of hot water and great rain-head shower. Located in an ideal spot - 20 mins to a beach by car. This is a quiet spot and is surrounded by the beautiful Cornish countryside. Highly recommend you give this lil gem a try.
Thank you I work hard to make all my guests feel comfortable , glad you had a lovely stay see you again next year hopefully........ Karen Property Owner

"Wonderfully peaceful stay at Nightingale Cottage."
Perfect base for trips into Looe, Fowey and Mevagissey. Lovely walk for our 9 month old Cocker Spaniel at Golitha Falls. The Cottage was comfortable and cosy. The welcome pack was a lovely bonus, with biscuits for the dog too as well as a bowl and towel provided. Would definitely use again.

"A lovely cottage."
Lovely little hamper for us and our dog too. But there was no toilet roll or hand towel in the bathroom when we arrived.
Good morning Toilet roll always left on toilet seat, I clean them myself so I know it was there, also I leave bath sheets small towels have been used for dogs in the past so no small hand towels left now....just bath sheets...... Enjoy your summer Property Owner

"Lovely cottage."
Had a wonderful time. Lovely welcome pack of local produce. Very minor problem was several heating systems and the underfloor heating never seemed to activate, this was not a major problem as we were very comfortable. All in all a wonderful cottage and a fabulous stay.
Thank you for your feed back, the underfloor CH system is pre set at a comfortable 20 degrees. You will appreciate that our rental fees are calculated around the price of electricity and that if the ambient is greater then 20degrees the CH will not activate Hope this answers your comment.... Have a good summer Property Owner

"This little cottage is a delightful find - so cosy and relaxing with everything you could possibly need."
Its close to some superb Cornish holiday spots e.g. : Looe, Fowey, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Eden Project etc. But we also found some cracking dog walks in forest and on the coast. My dog and I enjoyed it so much we have booked another week later in the year.
Thank you for your kind words Much appreciated Have a great summer Property Owner

"The cottage was very well equipped and the facilities were first class."
The bed was extremely comfortable , The furnishings and fixtures were very well selected, the only missing item as far as I could find was the absence of a plate draining rack on the kitchen sink, which was only a minor drawback
-

"Great location, excellent cottage well equipped, quiet, plenty of space for two plus dog, king bed and good size en-suite, excellent shower."
Well laid out, everything we needed, lovely location, nice outside space with table and chairs, lots of games, books and dvds if needed. Central for going to the south coast or north, and the various attractions. Everything worked without a problem, booking, communication, arrival with key box on the door, contact point (although didn’t need). Had a great time, would return again. Only thing I’d add to change would be some wedges under the coffee table to stop rolling about, as on wheels, but a small thing.
Thank you so much for a lovely positive feedback Yes we will look at the coffee table point taken. Hopefully see you again Have a great summer Property Owner

"Thank you for the welcome hamper."
A stable door might be beneficial to let more light in, or a clear door panel. Otherwise a lovely place.
Thank you for your feedback, the door has frosted glass for privacy but still let’s in the light. Glad you enjoyed your stay...... Property Owner

"Would like to say how much we really enjoyed our stay, the the cottage was superb with a delightful welcoming basket."
One tiny, tiny suggestion for improvement would be tissues and hand soap, and one other minor point, the temp of hot water was scolding hot.
Glad you enjoyed your stay at nightingale cottage. We supply toilet roll, kitchen roll, and liquid soap at both sinks......... Have checked water temp and it is fine? Doesn’t appear to be a Scoulding....... Have a lovely summer Property Owner

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance.

The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.
