“Kevrin Cottage is an absolute gem.”

We spent a glorious week there this Easter. The house is very comfortable, well equipped and full of character. The sitting room with its wood burner was a lovely place to relax and watch movies after a day spent exploring the Cornish countryside. Location couldn't be better, right in the middle St. Just, a mere 5 minutes to the shops, cafes and great pubs. There are so many places of interest and beaches close by. Would strongly recommend Kervin Cottage, we will be back.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, great location to explore that part of cornwall, lovely coastal walks.”

Cottage was very well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. Loved the log fire. the bottle of prosecco and biscuits which were left was a lovely welcoming gift, along with the milk and tea bags.... would recommend this cottage.

“We recently had a lovely stay at Kevrin Cottage.”

It was stylish fitted out and clean. Most importantly, the mattresses were very comfortable. The cottage was comfortably warm; we were pleased to see it being heated by an air source heat pump, which gave us the opportunity to experience this first hand. We appreciated the scones, clotted cream and the bottle of bubbles left for us. Although there is no parking outside the property, we were able to park just around the corner. During term time, the cottage does have families walking past in the mornings to get to school, so it may not suit those who want a late lie in. This did not bother us though as we were keen to seize the day and explore. We would definitely stay there again.

“Nice cottage and St Just is a good base to get around from.”

Decent.

“We had a lovely stay in Kevrin Cottage which was spotlessly clean, had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, good showers and is dog friendly!”

It’s a great place to stay when exploring the western end of Cornwall.

“We are a family of four with 2 small children aged 2 and 4 and we have just spent 4 nights at Kevrin Cottage.”

We loved it. I wanted to post this message, as having read some previous reviews I can’t express how wrong they are. The cottage is modern and bright, the showers are lovely and hot, the bedrooms great, the dining room spacious and the living room comfy finished off with a wood fire, which was fine with the kids. I had read previous reviews about the lounge not being comfy or bright enough, but we totally disagreed. My partner and I had 2 movie nights in their in great comfort. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials you would expect and the surprise bottle of Prosecco was thoroughly enjoyed. St Just is a great place, and the town has lots of local amenities that was a great help, fab pizza takeaway, very reasonably priced and the local CO-OP was surprisingly well stocked. The free car park (when did you last park in a free car park???) was a 2 minute walk away. The cottage is well located to visit lots of local attractions including Lands End and Flambards. All in all we had a fabulous holiday and stay at the cottage and would highly recommend it.

“Cottage was warm and as we expected.”

The chairs in the lounge are uncomfortable to sit in for a long time-this applies to mainly winter visitors I am sure.The lighting in the lounge is very poor-difficult to read in the dark evenings .2 comfortable armchairs would be better in the snug, a lovely bright room rather than the ? settee which only seats 1.A gate at the bottom of the stairs would be helpful-it is extremely difficult to keep a dog in the kitchen at night when they have stair access. Great base for exploring the area,good shower, bedrooms . well equipped kitchen ,hot water, good heating ,walking distance to free carpark. St Just has all you need for daily shopping/food/ cafes/pubs etc etc.

- Ann, October 2020

Thank you for you feedback We are sorry that you found the chairs in the lounge uncomfortable we have changed the sofa several times in response to people comments and it seems unfortunately that we are unable to accommodate everyone’s likes. The large chair in the snug is actually a sofa bed for those guests that have an extra need . There is a stair gate at the property ( kept beside the spare room wardrobe ) for use with children and dogs and we are sorry you were unable to access it, if you had rung we would have been able to tell you where it was. We would love to welcome you back Kevin Cottage. Property Owner

“I am surprised no one has mentioned that Kevrin is on a narrow road with passing traffic inches from the front window in a town which, to be honest, is a bit dreary.”

It does, however, have lovely countryside nearby and a wonderful exhibition of artwork by artist, Kurt Jackson, who apparently lives nearby. The house inside is quite nicely done and clean but Covid precautions meant all soft furnishings had to be removed, making it less cosy. In October,in cold weather, the radiators never got very hot so thank goodness for the log burner in the the lounge which belted out heat. Gifts of Prosecco and Cornish biscuits were nice but we would have appreciated some washing up liquid and a spare toilet roll or two. We left our washing up liquid and a note suggesting better supplies. No designated parking spot and parking on the nearby streets is risky, our car’s paintwork was badly scraped by a passing vehicle with all the subsequent bother of insurance claims and garage respray. May be safer in the town square. The many attractions and resorts nearby were still busy, we especially enjoyed the Newlyn gallery in Penzance and the Tate gallery and Hepworth museum in St Ives.

- Margaret, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We apologise for the lack of toilet roll and washing up liquid, this is something we always leave and so am not sure what happened on this occasion. Due to Covid restrictions, we do leave a note for all guests, mentioning the fact that soft furnishings have been removed and we are very sad we have to do this but it is for guests safety. We are sorry that you were cold and we would have talked you through the thermostat setting, if you have had contacted us during your stay. I am glad you enjoyed exploring the local area.

“Located in the lovely town/village of St Just which has every amenity close by.”

Beautiful beaches, scenery and gardens short drive away. Accomodation spotless, well designed and has everything you might need. We had a fantastic few days here.

“Beautiful cottage, extremely clean and the kitchen is well equipped.”

The cottage is much bigger than the photos show which was great as we were worried it might be a bit small. Location was perfect St Just has everything you need for day to day and it’s just a few miles to the A30

“Absolutely loved our holiday in Cornwall.”

Kevrin cottage was amazing, the perfect place to base ourselves whilst exploring the area, the owners left us some lovely welcome gifts and the cottage was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The downstairs wetroom was very well used as we spent everyday on the beach, so sandy feet etc could be washed quickly on our return. The beds were extremely comfy, I am very fussy when away from home and normally take a few days to get used to the beds but I slept like a log every night. We ate out in St Just most nights and had plenty to choose from, The Kings Arms and The Commercial had a good selection of food and The Square pizza take away made amazing pizza and salads, would highly recommend. We will be back to St Just and hopefully Kevrin Cottage.

“We had a lovely stay in Kevrin Cottage.”

Sue and Kevin's cottage is beautifully furnished, comfortable and very clean. We really appreciated the bottle of proseco waiting in the fridge after our long journey. It was the perfect place for a base to explore the area. We were really lucky with the weather and spent most of our time at Sennen Cove beach, where sensible social-distancing was evident. We visited St Ives on a dull, rainy afternoon - along with loads of other tourists! We would not recommend a trip here on a similar day as it was overcrowded, and tourists did not follow the safety measures put in place (ie stick to the left hand side of the lane when you are walking along the shops). Although this may have changed now that masks are mandatory. If you need to visit go early!

“This is our second visit to this cottage, returning this year was so familiar it felt like coming home.”

It’s so bright and airy, with the best shower I’ve ever known. Right in the town of St Just and then a short distance to where we wanted to go. We’ve been to Land’s End, the Lizard, Kynance Cove, Roskilly’s, Gweek, St Ives, Mousehole, Marazion, Zennor, Penzance, Newlyn, Madron, Sancreed, Men an Tol, La Morna and that’s just a few spots! On our way home we stopped at Gwithian. Couldn’t see over to St Ives for a while. Really blew away the cobwebs for our journey home. It’s a great cottage, thoughtfully decorated and very, very clean. Great facilities too. Made packing this year much easier knowing ahead what we didn’t need.

“A beautiful little cottage in St Just.”

The cottage had everything we needed and was very cosy. St Just is a lovely village and was the ideal location for exploring Cornwall. We ate in the king's Arms but didn't rate it. The Chinese takeaway was very nice. All in all a fabulous week and we will be back.

“The property unfortunately let Sykes down.”

It is fifthy. Every inch of that property has dust. I was able to write my name on most of it. Every work top, picture frame, book shelve had dust. It was such a shame. The shower head for example had months of dust on it and we are amazed no one else had highlighted it in the visitors book or via here. Its a very old property and damp is obvious. It needs a good airing and the windows opened. Many of the damp patches have been painted over which is most obvious around the lounger's window. We had dog hair (we hope) all over the main bed on day 1 despite the fact a cleaner had some in. We called Sykes which we've never done before with any operator and we travel a lot. We had concerns but to be fair, Sykes and the owner were fantastic. The problem was never resolved mind you but compensation was certainly provided. Debbie who was a local friend/neighbour was lovely and offered to clean etc the following day. She certainly changed the bed. The communications we had were also great with the occupant. Nevertheless, we didn't stay the duration of my planned stay for the reasons above. It had some great touches and 6-12 months ago I imagine it could have been lovely. But it for us just needs a bit of TLC and defo a new cleaner. It had a decent TV, Sano's speaker, washing machine etc etc which are all lovely little modern day touches for the modern day family - but when there is mould on chopping boards, toast from the last occupants, mould on the draining board, hair on your bed and the smell of damp - it was just a massive let down. We are amazed that it scored so highly for being 'clean'. We've highly expectations with properties being 'clean' than most but I'm amazed people are willing to spend over a £1000 in school holidays to spend the first evening vacuuming the sand off the stairs from the last occupant. By all means - stay - its a lot to offer in the area. But please mind how much is spend. I really do hope that the property gets some TLC and a good clean. Once that's done, it will be loved again I am sure. As for the parking - that was concern when we landed. We will found plenty of spaces all over the place within 20-40 metres.

- Simon, August 2019

The Owner is very sorry if elements of the cleaning of the cottage did not match their House keepers normally high standards. This is the first time this season that any comment has been made about the standard of cleaning at the property which generally scores 4/4. We do appreciate that in a busy season some areas may require a deep clean and we will be planning that into our season for 2020. Additional cleaning was offered to the guests but was not accepted. Granite cottages benefit from being aired well to prevent any issues with damp. The owners are commissioning works to remedy this for the 2020 season and the property will be aired regularly to ensure it remains fresh. We are delighted that you found the service both from Sykes and the Owner excellent. Property Owner

“We stayed at Kevin cottage, 5 Chapel street, st Just, Cornwall.”

We had an important parcel sent to us which the postman posted through next door at 5a Chapel st. His excuse was the two cottages used to be one so he always puts post through 5a!! Sadly the parcel was our spare car keycard as the one we had with us had stopped working. Because of the postman’s action we spent the whole holiday without use of our car. The owners of 5a live in Portsmouth so do not often go to the house. Can we make a plea that the owners of Kevin cottage add this warning about post problems? The Post Office in St Just admitted it is a recurrent problem.

Lounge furniture uncomfortable to sit on could do with a footstool to put feet up especially after long journey driving apart from that other facilities shower rooms bedroom very good

Thank you for your comments which we have taken on board, the sofas have now been replaced. We are happy that you found other facilities within the property to be very good and do hope that you will book with us again in the future. Property Owner

“The cottage was everything we were expecting it to be and everything that we wanted from a holiday house.”

We were very happy with the facilities and it was a lovely looking cottage with beautiful interiors. The location was spot on for us and we enjoyed exploring the village of St Just and local areas. The photos were accurate and we were pleased with our choice. The bed was comfortable and the showers excellent. The kitchen utensils, crockery, glasses and cutlery could have done with a good wash from the previous occupiers. We appreciated the detailed welcome pack and information about the local area which made eating out easier, and the bubbly on arrival was a very kind gesture. The suggested walks and local maps were a superb addition, and we also appreciated the log burner after a few chillier walks along the cliff tops at Cape Cornwall. A beautiful cottage, and we hope to return to this part of the world again soon.

“We bimbled from Cape Cornwall all the way to Kynance Cove sitting on many beaches happily watching the tides ebb and flow.”

Relaxed and happy. Watched a peregrine falcon on the Cape, saw choughs nearby and waited for dolphins. Not this time sadly. Wonderful holiday. Wonderful cottage to return to.

“Great location, being so near to Cape Cornwall is a ideal for those who love to work.”

The village of St Just has all the facilities you need with good eating establishments and two butchers and a grocers where you can buy excellent fresh produce. The bed was extremely comfortable. Wasn't a problem not having allocated parking; was able to park in street and there was the added bonus of free car park relatively nearby. I would say that maybe the kitchen cupboards on the outside needed a wipe and a couple of mixing bowls would have been useful. That said we would highly recommend to our friend and family. We hope to return.

“The walks, Kevrin Cottage is situated in West Cornwall where the coastal paths are ideal for dog walks and breathtaking sea views.”

St. Just is our favourite town in Cornwall, so we just revisited old haunts, The Star pub being our favourite! The cottage was an ideal base, it was superbly equipped and had everything we required. Thank goodness for a superb log burning stove though, because we never managed to fathom out how to get the central heating working, seems it only comes on when the thermostat meets a certain temperature.

“Wonderful cottage, great location and the facilities were great especially the kitchen utensils and the game room for the children.”

Welcome pack with information was also very useful. Would love to have had information on how to recycle, no info on where to put glass, cardboard, plastic etc.

“I would to say this was not the owners fault, as Sykes Cottages now own Cornish Cottages and arrange the cleaning.”

It is a lovely well position cottage, but on arrival it had not been cleaned since the last guests, including the toilet and linen, no welcome pack, no logs etc for the fire, windows opened and freezing cold. The owner was fantastic and organised everything to the way it should be. We requested compensation from Sykes, but told that they had to contact the third party the cleaning company, despite numerous phones calls and promises of compensation we still have not received anything apart from rudeness, rarely received telephone calls when promised no date or time line given when we might expect anything close to answer, no apologies from Sykes customer service given.

“Kevrin Cottage exceeded all of our expectations.”

For a cottage located so far west in Cornwall, it's unbelievable to think how great a location it was for us to get around some of the best and most beautiful beaches Cornwall has to offer, such as Porthcurno and Sennen Cove and take walks to Portheras Cove and Nanjizal. The walk to Nanjizal is a long one, however it is a superb achievement once you're there - rewarded with the sheer beauty of the rocks and the breath taking blue water enclosed by them. The cottage itself was fantastic, with the downstairs shower room a favourite and very luxurious. The cosy atmosphere the cottage bought compliments the friendly and homely environment of St Just. In conclusion, the house became a lovely home for us for the week and the time we spent in Kevrin Cottage was very enjoyable.

The property

Found in the spectacular far west of Cornwall in the popular town of St Just, Kevrin Cottage is a delightful and beautifully styled retreat.

This charming end of terrace granite cottage has been given a stylish new interior which provides a relaxing and welcoming ambiance - especially with the wood burner alight!

Kevrin, meaning secret or mystery in Cornish, will exceed all expectations of those who wish to be within walking distance of pubs, shops and cafes and have fabulous coastal walks on the doorstep.

Here you can forget the car as well as the stresses of everyday life so bring your walking boots or simply relax with a good book. The nearest small beach at Cot Valley is a hidden and little known gem at the bottom of a beautiful lush valley making it the perfect picnic spot.

For those who prefer a wide stretch of sand Sennen Cove and Porthcurno are also within easy driving distance.

There are incredible walks on the doorstep to Cape Cornwall or along the rugged south west coast path towards Lands End in the west and Pendeen lighthouse in the east.

We recommend the drive east along the coastal road to St Ives for a day of browsing boutique shops and galleries or sampling fine seafood in one of the many restaurants which line the harbour.

Penzance is just 10 minutes drive with its' Jubilee Pool, Cornwall's much loved art deco lido, and its' reputation as the new food capital of Cornwall. Immaculately presented and carefully planned the super kitchen/dining room forms the hub of Kevrin Cottage - perfect for friends and family to gather.

The cosy sitting room, with lovely wood burning stove, has plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably.

Upstairs is a master double bedroom and a twin which share the shower room.

Relax in the peaceful snug, with distant sea views, or play on the XBox.

Downstairs is a really useful shower and utility area and outside is a sun-trap enclosed courtyard to the rear of the cottage; perfect for evening drinks and sunny breakfasts.

There is space to hang wetsuits and store surfboards in the courtyard.

About the location

ST JUST

Penzance 7.2 miles; St Ives 12.9 miles.

St Just is the nearest town to Land’s End and is situated approximately eight miles west of Penzance. The town itself is an ancient settlement that has a strong mining history and there are several monuments and prehistoric antiquities to visit including the Bronze Age settlement at Cape Cornwall. St Just is ideally located for visitors to explore the far west of Cornwall as it is situated on the edge of the moors and close to the beautiful north coast. In the centre of the town is Plain-an-Gwarry, a theatre used for miracle plays in medieval times, and in more recent times for the Lafrowda Festival.
