Rathillet

This is a wonderful place in which to stay, not just because of its views overlooking the creek but more because the house is perfect in every way.

It is well looked after, well-equipped, comfortable and spacious. The owner has made every effort for her guests. Nothing is a problem for her. She lives next door but is in no way intrusive but lets us know that she is available should we want her. We can't recommend this house highly enough. We just don't give the house 5 stars for everything, we give it, and of course its owner, an addition gold star !!!! We'll go back again.

Wonderfully set, very helpful owner, well equipped, a lovelly peaceful place.

We had a great stay at Rathillet.

The house has a fantastic view and was very comfortable. All the bedrooms were of a good size with large beds. The kitchen was well equipped. The owner had left scones, jam, clotted cream, and milk for our arrival that was very appreciated. In our experience, this is one of the best holiday homes where we have stayed.

One of the best equipped and well presented properties we have rented.

Located on a hill it does have a steep driveway but it overlooks the tidal creek in a quiet and very picturesque area. There is easy access to Truro, Falmouth and beyond.

We had a week of terrible weather, but that didn’t dampen our spirits !

The house was easy to find and it does have a very steep, narrow drive - but this caused us no problem for our one large vehicle. The house was in a lovely position and was very clean and the beds were super comfy!. The dining chairs had slippery covers over them which were annoying to sit on and the chairs beneath were in a bit of a worn condition. It would be nice to have sofas uncovered and not covered in throws. Maybe that’s my personal view ? Everything you could want was provided. We met the owner once and she was very nice and helpful.

House was perfectly clean and comfortable and very well-equipped (best we’ve stayed in in terms of kitchen implements etc.

) The location is great with a fantastic view. Drive tricky to park on with a very tight bend. Outdoor space can only be accessed through a bedroom or by going around the outside of the building. There was no information left about the property which would have been appreciated. Owners were lovely but very close for comfort - could be heard through the wall and very visible on site which at times made us feel a little uncomfortable.

Rathillet is a lovely split-level accommodation with amazing views across the estuary from the lounge/diner and master bedroom.

The home has a double bedroom and bathroom downstairs with little balcony. There are 2 further double bedrooms on the main level (one of which can be made up as a twin), along with a shower room and kitchen. The fittings and furnishings are of a very high standard and the home is very well equipped. Anna the owner is friendly and available if you have any queries. She provides lovely extra touches in toiletries, washing products and ensures milk and tea and coffee are there for your arrival. Rathillet is in a great spot for exploring. Truro is nearby with all its amenities as is Falmouth. You can easily visit the Roseland, as well as the Lizard and St Michael's Mount and other areas. The drive down is steep and took a bit of getting used to with a larger vehicle. However it wouldnt stop me coming again. We had a great week and hope to return. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

Rathillet is an excellent cottage.

The owners were exceptionally helpful and made us very welcome. We would definitely stay again.

We had a super week staying at Rathillet- the gorgeous weather helped too.

A definite home from home with everything we needed (still no tin opener unfortunately). Only niggle from a personal view is the patio area can only be accessed from the downstairs bedroom.

This is a fantastic house with outstanding views across the creek.

We were so pleased that we managed to extend our stay. The equipment provided was exceptional, everything possible had been thought of and the scones, clotted cream and jam left for us was a lovely addition. The only thing missing was the information usually provided about operating the appliances. The house was so peaceful despite the building works across the road. You cannot see any of it when in the house as almost all the windows face the other way, ie over the creek, and we were not aware of any noise while we were there. Would thoroughly recommend.

We thought the property was fitted out to a good standard, and the quality of the equipment was very good.

We had a great time and the views from the property far exceeded what we expected from the descriptions We were disappointed that there was no guide to the property, the various appliances etc, and some hints about where to visit and eat.. We appreciate in the reaction to Covid such material was withdrawn, but surely it can be circulated as pdfs etc or stuck in laminated sheets. We were disappointed that the washing machine (almost new) didn't work. We accept that the "workaround" solution offered was very helpful. One minor point - we couldn't find a tin opener. Finally lovely comfortable beds, sheets and duvets

Rathillet is beautifully situated with spectacular views across and down the creek.

It is very well equipped, but it would be quite useful to have the usual folder of information about the property and its facilities.

This is a beautiful and lovingly created place with beautiful views in a sensational part of Cornwall.

We had a wonderful extended stay here. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner who is available but not intrusive at all. We are sad to leave and can’t wait to return.

Rathilllet is a fantastic place we all loved the house.

in a lovely setting and the view is amazing from the house over the creek. Everything you would need was in Rathillet that you could wish for. Highly recommend this property who wants peace and quiet ❤️❤️

The house exceeded our expectations.

The property was very well equipped, decoration and furnishings were excellent. We particularly liked the location close to Truro and views over the tidal creek. The owner was very helpful and friendly.

We really enjoyed staying at Rathillet as it was so quiet and peaceful and had spectacular views across the river inlet.

The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable and every utensil required for cooking our evening meals was provided and at hand. It was the perfect base to explore the many attractions in and around the area.

We had an amazing week here.

The house was clean with everything you needed to be a home from home. The beds were amazingly comfortable and we slept well as this is such a peaceful place. The home is in a beautiful quiet setting, overlooking the water. We loved being able to sit watching the tide going in and out. It feels remote but is only 15 mins to Truro and easy access to the rest of Cornwall. Trelissick gardens is nearby and King Harry’s ferry is a great way to get down to St Mawes for a visit. There is a lovely pub (The old Quay Inn) about 20mins walk away. The hosts were very helpful and accessible but were unobtrusive. It was a perfect place for our family to stay

We booked at the last minute for a week at the end of August and were very impressed.

The house is spacious, arranged over 2 levels with fantastic views from the upper level across the water. Well equipped with everything almost brand new and perfect for a family holiday ( 2 adults + 2 teenagers). The wifi was very fast so you could potentially decamp for a couple of weeks or longer to "wfh". As mentioned there is building work across the street but the noise was minimal and no issue for us. The owner lives next door and was very pleasant and helpful. We used the house as a base to explore and drove to various beaches and further south. The fish shop at Mylor is a real find - recommended. Overall we had a great holiday and would definitely recommend the house.

We had an excellent week at Rathillet, it served our needs very well and Anna, our host was very helpful in every possible way.

It is a pity that the dry weather broke and we had a couple of wet days, however we found plenty to do and our nephew’s wedding went very well.
