April cottage was an absolutely fabulous place to stay. There was me, my 4 children (2 in travel cots), my sister, her partner, dog and 2 cats. There was ample space for us all and we never felt like we were in each others way. It was so great to have so many things provided (like tea towels, bin bags, all the essentials). Great instructions on how to get there. The price for our weeks holiday in August was amazing. The only slight thing I would say to the hosts is that in your instructions you say that you can put recycling in the main car park, this is not the case as most local recycling bi...more
This is our fourth stay at The Lodge. We love it there. It's so peaceful and quiet, with plenty of beautiful walks from the front door. St Mawes is a short, and regular, ferry journey away. Once in St Mawes , Idle Rocks, Tresanton Hotel and St Mawes Hotel are all in easy reach on foot. A new one for us was The Standard In Gerrans. We visited there three times during our stay. We'll definitely be visiting again. Michael and Merietta Raymond
I stayed at Chywartha with my sister and both of our dogs. The layout worked well for us and the cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all we needed for or stay. The view from the lounge is amazing. We would book it again. Amanda and Dawn with Ralphy and Sid
Excellent location, very comfy cosy cottage big enough for two, has all the facilities you need. No complaints.
The pictures on the website are accurate. This is a lovely apartment in a perfect location . Heating and hot water are important especially at this time of year, and they were excellent . Well equipped, very comfortable. The sun lounge area with sea views was lovely. The owners were really nice, and available if needed. We saw dolphins from the lounge, did lots of walking, used the ferry, ate out at the local pub, and generally had an excellent time. The narrow roads in St Mawes needed to be driven with caution, but this is a delightful cornish village. We would definitely recommend.
Amazing hide-away @ Loe Beach. Much appreciated welcome pack. Our second visit and hope to come again soon. Wonderful views out over Carrick Roads. Super athletic squirrels! Powerful log burner to keep you toasty at night. A great historical place to visit re the English modernist movement; Wells, Nicholson's, Hepworth, Woods, Lanyon, Heron et al. A big thank you to Seaview Farm and our lovely hosts. Enjoy!
Everything about the cottage was perfect for us. Beautiful location, clean, comfortable. We could see the sunrise over the sea from bed! There is en-suite shower room not pictured in the description and so that was a nice surprise. The parking space allocated for the cottage was possible but a little tight for our large estate car, so we chose to pay for a week’s parking in the public car park, a slightly smaller car would be fine. Portscatho is a lovely base from which to explore the peninsula too.
The week we had in Heathfield was most enjoyable, both the area and the house suited us well. We needed four bedrooms which Heathfield gave us and to have two sitting areas a bonus when you have family with different ages and needs. Kitchen was well.supplied.with utensils. Our visit was over the winter holiday period so to have efficient heating was appreciated as well.
Loved staying here. Lovely, very comfortable cottage & hosts. Thank you & we hope to return very soon!
The property suits us down tot he ground for what it offers. It is dog friendly, there is an excellent walk to the beach, plenty to do nearby and some great places to eat. The owners who live adjacent are very friendly and helpful. Will be trying to book it again in the future.
Fal Cottages staff was excellent. This place had everything we needed, and we hope to be back next year.
This is the fourth time we (me, my daughter and nine year old grandson) have had the pleasure of holidaying in this delightful cottage. It’s our home from home and we cannot imagine going anywhere else, truly. We love the location, the cosy feel of the cottage, and our wonderful hosts. Annie is so welcoming and will ensure you have everything you need. We just love this two bed upside down living because we can see the fields and woodlands beyond. It’s also short walk from the quaint old Melinsey Mill. One word to sum up: fabulous.
What a wow property in St Mawes, perfect in every way. So spacious, with fantastic views from so many of the rooms. The location was amazing.
My partner and I had the most amazing stay here. It has everything you could need and is in the most perfect location. It’s on the smaller side but exactly as described and perfect for short stays. We extended our stay! The owner was so kind in allowing us to check in slightly earlier than the stipulated time. A wonderful stay- well definitely be back. Thank you so much.
First, the good: the house is in a fabulous position, with lovely views. The layout worked really well for our family of five; the kitchen is well-equipped, great shower and hot water pressure, and the summer house is a bonus although we didn't use it. It's just a little dated in places: a new bathroom suite or at the very least a loo seat that fits; the kitchen wooden worktops are also looking very tired with gaps to trap dirt. Having said that, we really enjoyed our week and would probably rebook – if they'd still have us after this!
Good location parking outside door all equipment their that's required. Pub over road quite good , cafe good . Enjoyed my holiday their , especially good for dogs .
Lovely apartment overlooking boatyard and river, provided everything we needed. Beautiful area and very quiet during February which was lovely for us. Not suitable for anyone with disabilities as steep hill and flight of steps to apartment. We’d definitely book again, thank you.
We were greeted most days by 2 little dogs aggressively barking at us at us every time we returned to the apartment as we came up the steps. The owners had no control over them. They also barked at everything that moved & went past the apartment! Also we have never stayed in a holiday let that had carpet in the kitchen as well as the 2 bathrooms. That is very un hygienic especially when you think about spills & leakages etc...Do you vax wash after every holiday maker has stayed ? Apart from that all good !
The parking is diabolical with no guarantee of a space outside the cottage. The path outside needs renovating as it is dangerous and the table and chairs need updating. The stairs are very steep, especially difficult to use with a heavy suitcase. The lighting is not very good for reading. Apart from that it was a delightful cottage right by the harbour and the weather was kind so we could enjoy touring the area.
Very convenient for walking in to St Mawes and the local footpaths. We enjoyed our stay and would try and book again but have noticed that the price has increased for 2025.
The farmhouse is well equipped, comfortable, with adequate heating and hot water, and provides a stock of firewood for the nice warm wood burner in the lounge - which really helps to make the space cosy. This is necessary as the old lounge windows are very drafty when a cold easterly wind is blowing, as we experienced, despite the heavy curtains used to block out cold air. The house has great views east to the sea, and the walk through the farm down to the pretty beach is enjoyable too. A great location and attractive area, with your own car necessary to access.
