“Got the real wow factor when we entered the house, there was absolutely everything you could have wanted, fantastic welcome back, including ice, milk, cream tea, cleaning materials to even your own slippers and some fresh flowers!”

Felt home from home and lovely and relaxed.

“When we arrived the first sight we saw was the bins overflowing and had not been emptied prior to our arrival.”

When we entered it was obvious that the property had not been cleaned, the downstairs wet room smelt of blocked drains and when we tried to use it, it overflowed into the hallway. We contacted Sykes and the bins where emptied the next day and the property was re-cleaned on the Monday, the downstairs wet room was not sorted so we did not use it. The area the property was situated was great just a shame about the initial issues.

- Mr Morley, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you experienced some issues on your arrival and glad they were dealt with. We would love to welcome you back to Kober House. Property Owner

“Lovely and clean,plenty of space for 5 Great location”

“The driveway is very awkward.”

Limited room to turn car around

- Mrs Nicol, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. As you can understand there is little we can do about the driveway of the property. There have never been comments made on this before, suggesting most people find this arrangement fine. We hope this did not impact your stay too much. Property Owner

“What a house, we had a lovely stay at Kober House.”

It is clean, smart and filled with loads of extras. The weather was great for our stay so we made full use of the garden and bbq. The garden is fully enclosed and safe , it is not over looked and is quiet. The house has many features like the keyless door entry, smart tv and a fully equipped kitchen.The cream tea was a nice touch for when we arrived. There is plenty of parking for 2 cars .I wound recommend the holiday home and will return

“Our Holiday was originally booked for 2020 but got moved forward 12 months due to COVID.”

This was straightforward with no hassle. We found Kober house to be clean and nicely decorated. We found everything we needed and the location was great for coastal walks and a base for our travels around south Cornwall. There is plenty on room for two vehicles but don’t leave a wheel overhanging or the friendly neighbour will pop round to point it out. I would definitely recommend the place for a family looking to explore the area. I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.

“We couldn’t find the key to the dustbin”

Mr Wierucki May 2021

“From the clean house all round to the sharp knifes in the kitchen every moment spent in the house was great.”

They even thought of the gaming generation xbox 360 is with few games so on the rainy day something to do

Dr Phway April 2021

“We love everything about this property and the location.”

So much so that we have broken our rule of not going back to same place we have been by booking another week here for next year March! I won’t add what there is already on the other reviews. What made this property exceed our expectation is the little touches that they have left for us and how well equip this property is inside and outside! Great for those intending to do water sports as there is a hose outside and the walk in shower downstairs. The launch pad for any water sports with equipment hire (open seasonally) is just 5 ins drive away!

“Property very draughty and not clear on how to use heating, took a while for us to figure this out”

- Miss Smith, December 2020
Mr Taylor October 2020

“Very enjoyable break and well needed!”

Well equipped everywhere for a place to sleep, rest and relax. Located perfectly for 20 + places to visit within 30-45 mins including Lands End. Only gripe is the upstairs toilet light and door- the light has no override and when you walk past it always comes on. 2ndly the door is awkward to open and shut (understand based on space) but it meant we used it rarely. 100% recommend though. Kitchen and entertainment systems great looked new and of a high standard. Probably need to narrow the wall where you need to park as it’s clearly been bashed several times!

- Mr Taylor, October 2020
Ms Bucknor October 2020

“The house was fantastic, well equipped and very clean.”

Would highly recommend to friends and family and would definately stay here again.

Mrs Chick October 2020

“Our holiday at Kober house was fantastic, a really warm and clean house.”

The only faults we found were the very small basin in the upstairs bathroom, which was very awkward to use and the horrid green light over the window in the small bedroom, which was a nuisance when trying to sleep, it was constantly on and made trying to sleep often difficult. Otherwise all was great a lovely area for a weeks walking with our dog. Thank you everyone.

- Mrs Chick, October 2020
Mr Keatley September 2020

“Kober House was furnished when it first became a holiday let to a very high standard, but it appears little has been spent on it in recent years Eg 1) Front Door is marking the hall floor 2) Upstairs central heating thermotstat doesn't function - the batteries in it had leaked into the workings.”

3) Many of the kitchen pots and pans need replacing. 4) Door handles on sliding doors keep coming loose. Overall it needs to have a bit of TLC

- Mr Keatley, September 2020
Mr Oloughlin August 2020

“The arrival time was changed to 5:30.”

We assumed that this was for a deep COVID clean to the property. When we arrived it was very clear that the property had not been cleaned to any kind of level. The bathroom and kitchen had a cloth go round it and the bedding had been changed but that what that. The floors where dirty, crumbs on the sides in the kitchen, dishwasher was full on dishes, dirty cutlery in the draws, both bathrooms was covered in hairs and general dirt from a weeks use. Bedrooms needed hoovering and dusting. Floors needed mopping. The outside area was covered in old apples and the hedges needed a cut. Mirrors had not been cleaned, batteries was dead in all the remotes for the TVs. Cupboard draws for clothes was full of hairs and not clean. Even the oven gloves and apron provided was dirty and badly stained. No effort was put into cleaning the proper at all. Even the next door neighbour said that they couldn’t not of been in there long enough to do a proper deep clean. They was in for less than an hour and it was disgusting. We have picture to prove this and will be contacting you with these

- Mr Oloughlin, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the property was not cleaned to a high level which we would expect during this time and are surprised as usually we have positive feedback regarding cleanliness. We have raised your comments with our housekeeping team, who will address the issues raised immediately assuring future guests that the property will be clean upon arrival. Property Owner

“The cottage is well equipped.”

The kitchen especially is one of the best equipped we have seen in cottages. The house in general is well suited for four people. We had a baby and a pet in addition, and this worked really well. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated. There is enough and comfortable seating in the living room for four people (which is not often the case in all cottages). You can walk to the beach from the house (it's about 15 minutes by foot) as well as Mullion cove. The surrounding area is great, lots of lovely beaches within 20-40min driving distance as well. Whilst some people have commented that the door is weird as it talks to people, we found it really practical as it requires no key collection and you can simply enter a code. If you share with friends, everyone can just come and go without worrying about who has the key. I can really recommend the cottage. There are a few areas of recommendation for the owners, some of which have been mentioned before by others: The upstairs bathroom door - it's really awkward - it cannot be opened properly from the inside as there is no knob to push the door outwards with. It would be much better to fit a normal outward opening door. The lawn outside: given that it's a pet friendly cottage, having artificial grass is probably not the best idea if you don't have a dedicate area (e.g., of sand or something similar) for pets to toilet... just a suggestion. The starter kit for the log burner involved one soaking wet log - luckily we brought our own seasoned wood, but it would be worth thinking about this...

“Kober house is in a great location in Mullion.”

It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The underfloor heating in the shower room is great.

- Mr Ward, February 2020
Mr Leigh November 2019

“Very clean, modern property in a pleasant little village.”

However there was an issue with the bathroom door which didn't work properly and the front door lock which talks at you noisily. House doesn't have much character but was warm and comfortable and we had a lovely week.

- Mr Leigh, November 2019
Mrs Farrington October 2019

“Kober House is perfectly situated from which to explore the Lizard peninsula and further afield.”

It sits quite centrally between and within the very best bits of Cornwall. It's within walking distance of Polurrian Cove and only 10-15 mins drive from some glorious beaches (many of them disappear at high tide, so check tide times). Within a few hundred yards of the house there are several pubs that serve good food, a decent chippy and an award-winning pasty maker (in the Spar shop). From Kober House we struck out further afield to Botallack mine, Sennen, St Michael's Mount and the Eden Project. It's a modern, clean house which was very comfortable. We enjoyed our week there and were reluctant to leave. However, our complaints are: The parking was very tight for us. We have a 4x4 and it took a lot of manoeuvring to get out of the allocated space, especially as the neighbour parks on the turning area at the front. It is not made clear in the description that the drive is shared. The upstairs bathroom is rather pokey with a sloping ceiling that we constantly knocked our heads on. The garden is not secure at all with large holes in the rear hedge and a significant drop to the garden behind. This could easily be rectified with a chain-link fence. There are no recycling facilities.

- Mrs Farrington, October 2019
Mrs Greenaway October 2019

“The location of Kober House is good for exploring the area.”

Mullion is a very picturesque place, and there are some stunning beaches, coves, and clifftop walks nearby. The local shops are well equipped and easy to reach. Plenty of eating places, the curry place was excellent, fish and chip shop very good and pubs nearby too. We had a wonderful family holiday, and the fact that we could take our dog made it extra special. The house was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed having a log fire. Parking wasn’t a problem, and we easily got two cars alongside the right hand side of the house, leaving the drive free for turning. There is parking on the road if needed. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were good, but the sink in the upstairs bathroom is small, and the door is a little tricky to slide across until you get used to it. The kitchen was home from home, and the lounge was great for relaxing in, especially the large, circular chair. There are two complaints, both are important to note. Firstly, there was no recycling bin on site which made sorting our waste more tricky. It wasn’t possible to take all our recycling to a local collection point, so we would love there to be recycling containers at the house. Secondly, the garden is not enclosed and safe for dogs. We have a largish dog, a lurcher, and he found at least six holes in the hedge to escape the garden. We could only take him out in the garden on a lead. Worryingly the other side of the hedge is a drop of a few feet off a wall into the garden behind. Also there was some rusting wire tucked into the hedge which could hurt an unsuspecting dog. We thought the problem could easily be remedied by some fencing ( wooden or wire) behind the hedge to stop escapes to the neighbouring garden, or the holes in the hedge being blocked with fencing. It can’t be described accurately as an “enclosed” garden when you have a dog with you. Both those points are minor, and they didn’t detract from the holiday, but I feel it is important to draw attention to them. The cream tea on arrival, numerous leaflets and holiday information, visitors book, and WiFi made for a more personalised stay. We would love to return to the area in the future, and would definitely stay at Kober House. We thoroughly recommend it to anyone intending to stay on the Lizard or nearby.

“Lovely modern clean house.”

Well equipped and a nice garden. Garden was secure for dogs. You really must park to the right hand side of the house, it’s quite tight but the lady next door is very unpleasant and blocked us in one morning as we had apparently not parked close enough to the house. Do NOT be fooled by the large gravel drive it is her land and not Kober House!! The Village Inn pub is great for a meal and a short stroll away. Poldhu Beach is only a mile away and a very clean beach with all facilities and parking. All in all a great place to stay.

- Mrs Thrower, July 2019
Mrs Butler July 2019

“We loved the cottage from the moment we pulled up, it is beautifully designed and has everything you need (and more!”

). It is very family and child friendly, our 2 year old granddaughter absolutely loved the mud kitchen and Twigwam in the garden! Mullion is a nice little place and everything is within easy reach, either on foot (a 5 minute walk to the nearest shop (CoOp), 2 minutes to the Fish and Chips shop, 20 minutes to the beach (although dogs are not permitted on the beach the walk down is perfect for them) and a couple of pubs) or relatively short journeys by car to gorgeous places to visit. We arrived in two relatively big cars and both fitted snugly into the car parking space to the right side of the property - however, this is not agreeable to the next door neighbour who appears to be very unhappy with that arrangement.... The one thing that would have been useful is a rubbish bin outside of the property; a couple of bags had been left out/forgotten by the housekeeper and were targeted by seagulls. We have had a wonderful stay at Kober House and can wholeheartedly recommend it - we would certainly return. Many thanks.
