    “It is a lovely cottage, but there are things that need improving.”

    There is a lovely garden but it’s quite neglected. The natural sunlight was blocked from the garden always due to so many overgrown trees. This was a shame because sitting in the garden wasn’t enjoyable as we couldn’t get any sunlight. Lots of overgrown bushes also. Blocked sunlight also made the cottage very dark in side.

    There is a lovely garden but it’s quite neglected. The natural sunlight was blocked from the garden always due to so many overgrown trees. This was a shame because sitting in the garden wasn’t enjoyable as we couldn’t get any sunlight. Lots of overgrown bushes also. Blocked sunlight also made the cottage very dark in side. The facilities within the cottage were good. the description of being able to walk to local pub needs to be updated. It would be quite dangerous to attempt the walk as the roads are windy and there is no room or walking paths for pedestrians. The smoke alarm needs to be moved . Everytime we used the cooker it went off. Also advised in booklet in cottage a full bag of wood would be supplied. This didn’t happen. On our first day, I banged my head on the stairs which was so painful. More obvious signs would be helpful. The hardest things was manoeuvring in and out of cottage driveway. This really needs to be addressed. There were many close calls the entrance could be opened up more to make getting in and out of cottage easier. Overall a pleasant stay, but would we go back- No.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we're so glad you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed our lovely cottage and garden. As described on the listing, this is a woodland garden and most people comment on how lovely and private it is. We have an amazing gardener who looks after it and does cut it back from time to time. Tinners Cottage is a 200 year old property set in Cornwall lanes, which are traditionally narrow and windy, cars do not drive fast in case there are pedestrians or other vehicles on the road. It is possible to open the kitchen window to alleviate issues with the smoke alarm and we do not tend to leave wood for the fire in the cottage when the weather is warm. We are sorry to hear that you banged your head, there are clear signs highlighted in yellow on the stairs so that this can be avoided. Finally, with regard to the parking, this is a country cottage and we have found that large vehicles such as Range Rovers/people carriers etc can access the drive safely Property Owner
