“I've recently returned from a great week stay at the lovely Pippin.”

I previously stayed there in October last year, and was let down by lack of poor cleaning standards. This now seems to have been rectified, and great care has been taken to bring the cleaning standards up to scratch. The Pippin is cosy and very well equipped, with some lovely touches throughout, also with a pretty well maintained garden. I look forward to returning to The Pippin again!

“Pippin is a lovely cosy cottage with a pretty and well maintained garden, and in a great location.”

However, the overall cleanliness was very poor and I needed to clean the shower and toilet area before feeling comfortable in using it. There was a fair amount of dust and cobwebs in various places and the kitchen cupboards were dirty. Having said this, I had a great time, and felt that this cute cottage had been let down by the cleaning standards. I'm hoping these comments will go towards some improvements being made, and then I would have no hesitation in returning to the lovely Pippin in the future.

Thank you for completing your feedback. The cleanliness issues have been dealt with; new housekeepers have been sourced and have done an amazing job. The owners recently visited the property themselves and found it to be pristine. They would like to assure guests that cleanliness issues will not be a problem in the future. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Pippin and very much look forward to welcoming you back in the not-too-distant future. Owner relations

“I had filled in a Feedback for Pippin cottage the other day and put.”

The Pippin cottage at Lelant was well decorated and comfortable with a good back garden where the dog could be free. Parking in the narrow street without pavements could be difficult at times. Although there was no washing machine there is an excellent laundrette two miles away at Hayle does a service wash. All in all an enjoyable holiday

“A lovely cottage conveniently situated about 25 metres from the Badger Inn, also about 10 minutes walk from the nearest dog friendly beach.”

A nice if slightly strenuous walk into St Ives along the coastal path but close to Lelant railway station at the bottom of the hill. A nice walk along the bottom of the hill towards Hayle. The Birdie Café does really nice food. Parking was a bit tight but once parked outside the cottage it is quite safe. We had a great relaxing holiday and will try to book something again next year.

“Beautiful house in a beautiful location.”

Lovely and clean, kind neighbours (number 5) and the time we spent there was just perfect. The cottage had everything we needed and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you

“Upon arrival after 8 hour journey we arrived 15 minutes after check in time to find the cleaner was still there!”

We had to return 30 minutes later. After gaining entry the whole house absolutely stank of fish! This lasted for 2 days. The floors had not been mopped, we found the previous customers had left a dirty towel, their used soap and a travel cot in the main bedroom by our bed, the box downstairs in the living room. There were used tissues behind the bin in the bedroom. The garden was in dire need of a good cut and tending to. While Pippin is in a good location the house itself is very dark downstairs and very small. Upon reading the guest book it appears previously that the owners had left a welcome pack of which there was none to be seen and would have been a very welcoming gesture. Overall we were very disappointed and sadly we would not return. It felt as though the owners had forgotten that we were coming at all!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We are sorry that the property wasn’t ready upon your arrival. In light of Covid-19 we have had to adjust our arrival times to allow the cleaners extra time and our apologies if you did not receive the notification advising of this. We check this property regularly and it has always received good cleanliness scores in the past (as can be seen by the other feedback displayed) and we are sorry if it did not meet your expectations on this occasion. The garden of the property is maintained every Friday so we were surprised to hear that you felt it was in dire need of attention. Following receipt of your review we visited the property in order to check upon it and can happily confirm that we found it to be clean and in good order throughout. At present we are unable to supply a cream tea welcome pack as we would have done in the past but we still provide a starter cleaning pack, toilet roll etc and we hope to be in a position to present fresh goods in the not too distant future. We are sorry to hear that you will not be returning to Pippin but would like to reassure future customers that Pippin is as advertised and we have every confidence you will enjoy your holiday here.

“Perfect”

This was the second time of visiting this lovely cottage. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and perfectly located for a coastal walk into St Ives, or a drive around the beautiful Cornish coast. We would highly recommended staying here and we will definitely be having a third trip very soon!

“Fabulous”

What a beautiful and amazing place to stay. Everything about this beautiful little cottage is positive. The amenities, the location, comfortable and cosy cottage, enclosed garden, and within 10mins walk of one of the most beautiful beaches I've been on, and so dog friendly too. A fabulous pub just meters away, wonderful food and ambience. So many beautiful beaches and places to visit, an excellent location. Please don't miss the chance of staying in this little haven on earth. I've booked to return before I'd even left. Not a thing I can say can do it justice, just beautiful.

The property

With beautiful beaches on the doorstep, pretty village surrounds and St Ives just minutes away, The Pippin offers the best of all worlds.

A cosy retreat, the cottage is in the heart of Lelant, a peaceful village which is bound by the Hayle Estuary to the east and the sweep of St Ives Bay to the north.

The white stretch of Porth Kidney Sands are just 10 minutes' walk away; relatively unknown this beach is simply stunning and lined with incredible sand dunes.

The estuary is literally moments away, where you can hop onto the coast path at low tide and explore the shoreline which is dotted with ancient shipwrecks.

Please do not try to swim in the estuary though as the water is very fast flowing.

The Pippin has characterful accommodation with a lovely inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove making the sitting room a warm and welcoming haven.

Behind this are a small kitchen and a bathroom, with the two bedrooms up on the first floor.

Outside the sunny garden has a barbecue and plenty of space to relax and catch up with a good book.

Lelant has limited facilities but the nearby Badger Inn serves food daily and is also home to a basic provisions store.

Golfers will enjoy the 18 hole links course on the edge of the village which welcomes visitors.

With the St Ives branch line just down the hill you can be in the hubbub of the town in no time but be sure to check train times!

The official park and ride is also on the edge of the village if you do miss out.

St Ives needs little introduction; full of life at any time of year there are fabulous restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and galleries lining the picturesque harbour.
