“We had a lovely stay at Tops’l Cottage, despite arriving a day too early (I blame the perimenopause!”
). After a night spent elsewhere we arrived the next to a lovely and clean cottage complete with scones, jam and cream and tea bags - thank you so much! Kitchen was well equipped and lots of lovely fresh flowers around the place. There ended up only being me and my husband and I do think space would’ve been an issue if my daughter and son had joined us. It really isn’t a big cottage and there is nowhere to hang your clothes apart from a few hangers on a wall hook. This didn’t bother us but ...
). After a night spent elsewhere we arrived the next to a lovely and clean cottage complete with scones, jam and cream and tea bags - thank you so much! Kitchen was well equipped and lots of lovely fresh flowers around the place. There ended up only being me and my husband and I do think space would’ve been an issue if my daughter and son had joined us. It really isn’t a big cottage and there is nowhere to hang your clothes apart from a few hangers on a wall hook. This didn’t bother us but it may bother a larger group. The shower downstairs was good and it was useful to have an upstairs and downstairs toilet. Please be warned the stairs are narrow and steep and may not be good for those with mobility issues. Also, the front lounge did smell of dogs. We love dogs and have a dog, but to some this may be off-putting. These are just little niggles and we really did enjoy our stay. A great location for exploring Falmouth and further afield.
Thank you for completing your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. There isn't really room to have a chest of drawers and a wardrobe, in the bedrooms. The stairs might also be slightly narrower than perhaps what you might be used to, as it a very small Cornish cottage. We are glad that you were able to explore Falmouth and the local area.
