“We absolutely loved it, a beautiful setting and a fantastic property.”

- Mark, March 2024

Thank you for your excellent feedback, it’s very much appreciated. Property Owner
James November 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Cottage, the view is spectacular, the cottage is warm and cosy and the bed is extremely comfortable.”

Great location for relaxing by the sea and exploring the local area. Highly recommend staying at this property. The problem we found was that the sofa triggered my partners allergies (feathers?) and it was also a little too low. Thanks for a great stay

- James, November 2023

Thanks for your wonderful feedback, we’re sorry to hear about your partner’s allergies, the sofa is filled with duck down. We have just increased the height of the sofa by installing new (loaf) legs which should remedy the height issue moving forward. Property Owner
Beverley October 2023

“A wonderful property, we loved our stay.”

Being able to sit and look at the sea, or just nip down to the beach. It had everything we needed, we couldn't fault it.

- Beverley, October 2023

Thanks for your excellent feedback, it really is appreciated. Property Owner
Susan October 2023

“The cottage, which is big enough for a couple, the location and the facilities are all superb and the views are spectacular.”

The only minor issue was with the sofa which was not too comfortable. You will also need to be fairly fit as the road up to the car park is very steep (there is a sligtly shorter footpath but it gets very muddy if it rains). That said, I would not hesitate to recommend it and have already booked up again for next year.

- Susan, October 2023

Thanks for your excellent feedback, look forward to seeing you again next year Property Owner
Andrew October 2023

“We have just been and stayed at Beach Cottage, we are probably a little older than the average clients being 82 and 84 so the sea has to come to use, rather than us going to the sea.”

On the plus side this was a wonderful place to stay and have a weeks holiday, the views are tremendous from the lounge window overlooking the sea and watching the fishing boats come and go, the bed was comfortable and the shower was perfect for the older person. .On the downside the sofa as mentioned in many reviews as a real pain, it may be a Loaf expensive sofa but it'e far to low to get out of, please put it up on some blocks to make it higher therefore making it easier to get up from. We gave up sitting on it and just sat on the dining chairs instead. We were taken in by this photo (As others too have seem to have been!) as we had the grandchildren down to see us as they live in Cornwall and thought that there would be enough chairs for everyone, (We only wanted five chairs) not so. One more thing , we arrived at the property feeling excited and ready for our holiday, standing at the front door with the key code all ready to open the key box, it states it's one the right of the light blue front door, no it's not, its on the left side of the door. Hope that this helps other people thinking about this lovely cottage Andrew and June

- Andrew, October 2023

Thank you for your feedback, really glad you enjoyed the stay. We have amended the listing to note the table and chairs you reference are not part of Beach Cottage we have also amended the location of the key safe. The sofa has just been kitted out with new comfortable inserts, the height is really down to personal preference. Property Owner
Sandy September 2023

“The location was superb although the track to the cottage was very uneven.”

The settee was far too low and by design was uncomfortable. We had a problem with the Wi-Fi mainly because we did not expect to have to switch the router on at the mains. Positionally perfect and very well equipped.

- Sandy, September 2023

Thanks for your excellent feedback, the sofa will receive a new set of inserts at the end of September and we have asked the housekeeping team to ensure the Wi-Fi router is on before arrival. Property Owner
Dawn August 2023

“Lovely little gem for a relaxing time away with fantastic views .”

The owner does need to listen to the feedback about the sofa …. Change it !! it’s so uncomfortable and low and let’s the experience down . Shame the chairs and table is chained up .abit of a pain to not trip up when getting up . Also the picture in the photos of the property with the front door is misleading as we thought the table and loungers where with our property but they are next doors

- Dawn, August 2023

Thanks for your excellent feedback. All feedback is acted upon promptly to ensure continues improvement. As noted in an earlier response ‘ We have ordered additional sofa inserts which should be installed within the next few weeks’ The property is next to the sea and can be quite windy from time to time which is why the patio table is connected by plastic wires. I’m sorry you misinterpreted the photographs, the properties patio can be clearly seen through the patio windows. Property Owner
Phillip August 2023

“What a gorgeous place.”

Quaint yet modern. Everything we needed, thank you. If I were adding anything to the description, I might mention the v poor phone signal coverage outside the cottage - I had planned to loh on and remind myself of the key box code, but I couldn't. Tiny but maybe useful point? But oh, such a pretty place.

- Phillip, August 2023

Thanks for your wonderful feedback! The WiFi allows use of WiFi calling on Apple devices but as you point out the signal can be quite poor dependant on provider. We will update the property description accordingly Property Owner
Bren August 2023

“Sofa a bit uncomfortable.”

Badly needs a mirror above bathroom sink.But the cottage was lovely and we had a great holiday.

- Bren, August 2023

Thanks for your excellent feedback. We have ordered additional sofa inserts which should be installed within the next few weeks and will install an additional mirror in the bathroom in the near future. Property Owner
Rachel August 2023

“I'm rather loath to leave a great review as selfishly I don't want others to find out about this gem of a place!”

This really was a wonderful little place to stay in an amazing location. The locals were all really friendly, wonderful little local inn, BBQ on the beach, crab shop next door, swimming right outside, coastal path walks from the door - what more could you want? I'm astonished that others have left reviews about the lack of Sky TV - I can only assume they didn't see the amazing view outside the huge patio doors... I will be returning at some point, but I'll be staying for two weeks as it's just such a wonderful relaxing place to be. It is worth people knowing that Cadgwith is a working traditional fishing village and that half the building this property is in is still a fisherman's loft, so depending on the tide times, you may be woken by the fishermen going out very early - this all adds to the charm of the place. I travelled by public transport and this is entirely doable (and really, seeing the cars diving into the hedges on the narrow roads, recommended!). It would be worth when sending location details to include directions for those coming from the bus (at Ruan Minor). All in all, a fabulous stay - thank-you.

- Rachel, August 2023

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We will amend the directions as you recommend. Property Owner
Jonathan July 2023

“We thought the location and cottage was fabulous.”

Luckily we didn't have to use the car park as there was a space outside to use, the walk to the car park was quite a long distance so we are pleased not to have had to do that. Whilst we appreciate that the sofa is a Loaf and good quality, we did find it a little uncomfortable to sit on for a while as the big seat cushions moved forward, they are quite heavy to adjust too. We used the TV, but found that any Sky station we wanted to see said not subscribed, in fact we could only find Sky news to watch. But we did enjoy our stay and felt very relaxed at the end of our holiday

- Jonathan, July 2023

Thanks for your great feedback. We’re sorry the sofa didn’t suit your taste, we have introduced additional cushions to give extra comfort when required. The TV has access to all the usual terrestrial channels but does not give access to the likes of sky sport or sky cinema. Property Owner
Val July 2023

“This is the most beautiful contemporary property where we have just had one of our most restful, pleasurable holidays.”

The location is stunning as is the property. We would certainly return. My only negative comments to the owner would be 1) the settee looks good but is so uncomfortable the floor was a better option. 2) Saying the area is hilly is not enough to describe the difficult access to the door for someone with mobility problems.

- Val, July 2023

Thank you for your excellent feedback. We’re sorry that the sofa didn’t suit your taste, it is however a brand new Loaf product which is renowned for comfort and luxury. The duck down cushions do need plumping up from time to time to maximise comfort. There is a flat level access to the property, Cadgwith itself is a hilly cove as described in the listing.

About the location

CADGWITH

Lizard 3.4 miles; Helston 11.1 miles; Coverack 8.2 miles.

A traditional fishing village on the tip of the Lizard Peninsula, Cadgwith is unspoilt and timeless. Quintessentially Cornish, its narrow streets are lined with former pilchard cellars, higgledy piggledy whitewashed cottages and charming smugglers’ inns. Time here is spent walking the coastal footpath, building sandcastles on the beach and fishing the waters for mackerel. The village is home to a small number of shops including a gift shop, craft shop and a fishmonger’s where you buy delicious crab sandwiches. It also has a lively events calendar, with weekly sea-shanty nights, summer barbecues, a regatta and a fortnightly fishing competition. The market town of Helston is eleven miles away, here you will find an excellent farmers’ market on the first Saturday of the month – a great place to pick up some local produce for your stay.
