“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 ...

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...

“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

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. Owner relations

“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 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.
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 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.
Mrs Thrower July 2019

“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 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.
