“Location fantastic and cottage very sweet.”

Son over 6ft so found ceilings an issue, could also do with fans when it’s hot.

“Pebble Cottage is a hidden gem.”

Close to beach and facilities. Lovely comfy beds and beautiful new en suite bathroom. Would recommend.

“Beautiful cosy little cottage.”

2 minute walk to lovely beach. Portreath is beautiful and easy access to A30 to visit other places. Would go back

Mrs Duffy October 2020

“The cottage was extremely well equipped with extras we really appreciated such as soaps, fire wood and scones on arrival!”

The cosy decor and comfy beds made it feel home from home. It is in a perfect position for a 2 min stroll to the beach and Portreath was charming. Thank you - we will definitely book again!

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely spot in portreath”

“The ensuite shower was useless.”

There wasn't enough water pressure for the shower so had to use the downstairs bathroom. Unfortunatley by the end of the fortnight the water was backing up from the drain in the shower & we had to mop the floor. We didn't get a change of bedding or towels but we used the towels in the second bedroom as there are only the two of us. The mattress was uncomfortable too. Apart from this the cottage is very nice & in an ideal location for the beach, shops & pubs. We recommend the Bassett Arms for food especially Sunday lunch. Also recommend the Atlantic fish bar. We enjoyed our holiday & love Portreath.

“The cottage is an excellent location for the beach and very cosy.”

“Two things .”

The ensuite shower does not work. Water pressure is so slow it was nothing but a trickle or nothing at all!!. Secondly it should be mentioned that during the summer months, dogs are not allowed on Portreath beach. We booked the cottage thinking we could enjoy days on the beach, when in reality we had to drive to a beach each day.

- Mrs White, August 2020

Thank you for completing your feedback. The issue with the water pressure at Pebble Cottage has now been resolved. We would advise checking with the Tourist Information Board regarding dog friendly beaches especially during the summer months, when a lot of beaches do have restrictions in place. Owner relations

“1 Backyard was slippery weeds were growing through the decking.”

2 The freezer bottom was rusted. The top draw would not open because the freezer had not been de frosted. The level of hygiene around the freezer was very very poor 3 The carpet are filthy. 4 When we pulled the beds out to make sure that we had not left anything behind we found toenail clippings and a false nail which we left there because the room was not cleaned properly. 5 When we arrived the dustbin had not been emptied so we had to keep our rubbish in the summerhouse. When we vacated the property we had to put our rubbish at the front outside. No recycling bags are provided to sought are rubbish out. 6 The all the windows were filthy. On the kitchen window there is a vent which was had not been cleaned. Because of the extra hours that we lost due for the need to clean for the COVID situation I feel we have been short changed.

- Mr Oram, 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. There is a regular gardener and a window cleaner that attend to the property. The freezer will be replaced in the coming weeks Owner relations
Mr Gold July 2020

“Pebble cottage is in a great Location by the beach of Portreath and within easy reach of all other attractions in Cornwall the only thing that was not right is the en suite as the water supply to the shower meant it did not work so could not use it same with the shower downstairs but ran better enough to have a short shower.”

“Cottage was as described in the listing and with great amenities in the village, made for a very relaxing week.”

We enjoyed the cream tea!

“Great location, very cosy.”

Car broke down and we needed to stay an extra couple of days. Sorted no problem, thank you.

- Mr Osborne, November 2019
Mrs Stanford November 2019

“We had a lovely stay, and the cottage was cosy and had what we needed.”

The only thing I would say, is that the gate needs fixing, ( which I think the owners do know about from previous comments) as we had to block the hole/gap with something, because we had dogs. Also it says there is a DVD player, and there wasn't one, but this wasn't an issue for us. Other than that, all was well :)

Mrs Jenkins August 2019

“A lovely cottage set in an ideal location just across from the beach in Portreath, perfect for surfers, children and couples.”

We had a lovely holiday. The garden needs a bit of attention but overall we were very happy, clean, tidy cottage with up to date kitchen and bathroom, all kitchen amenities, comfy beds, overall very happy

Ms Aylott June 2019

“The cottage was ok but the worst we’ve had with Sykes (and we go at least three times a year with Sykes so have a lot to compare to).”

Very small cottage so it was very hard to get in shower (there was some reference to this in the listing but it is very awkward), storage heaters weren’t giving out enough heat so it felt chilly, mattress on double bed very soft and gave us both back ache. Some small things missing from kitchen like salt and pepper, tin foil, hand soap. Double bedroom very dated. We had a nice holiday in Portreath though and I think the owners could easily rectify things. Thanks

- Ms Aylott, June 2019
Mrs Hunt June 2019

“The cottage was excellent, even dog treats pop bags and dishes even though we took our own.”

Cream tea milk and tea coffee sugar, cleaning. Materials bed linen utensils etc if a great standard. Local pub the Bassett four doors away allowed us to have a take away meal but beware if you not large eaters one between two is great quality of good outstanding great week.

Popular Portreath has shops for provisions, cafes, a deli, coffee hideouts and inns.

This little resort has a chirpy vibe and the sandy beach with dinky harbour is well loved, with a stream running across the sands and excellent surf for bodyboarders.

Scenic rambles are guaranteed from atop the South West Coastal footpath which showcases magical seascapes.

Walk to Bassets Cove (five miles there and back) or head northbound to lively Porthtowan, a four mile stroll through beautiful scenery.

Once there, reward yourself with refreshment in the Blue Bar café and restaurant, tucked aside the dunes with big ocean vista.

The north Atlantic coastline is a hot spot destination.

About the location

PORTREATH

Truro 14 miles; St Ives 15 miles.

With its sheltered harbour, beautiful Portreath was, in the 1800s, a hive of activity and industry as a major tin-exporting port. Today, the village attracts visitors from around the world with its wild and rugged coastline. High cliffs, secluded coves and sandy, surf-washed beaches typify the area while all around are reminders of the area's rich industrial heritage. Portreath offers a small fishing harbour, shops, a number of pubs, three cafés and a Chinese restaurant, while its safe, sheltered sandy beach is a popular attraction. For a great day out, visit the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, shopping centre, theatre, museum and great restaurants, just 14 miles away, or travel a few miles along the coast and follow the vast expanse of sandy beach, which leads down to Hayle and on to St Ives. A delightful holiday location.
