“Wash basin in bathroom I found inadequate although my wife didn't.”

Sofas not that comfy really, cooker very slow....minor things really but still a bit annoying. Apart from that a nice, cosy place in an ideal spot to explore.

very secluded and quietgreat for walks and a romantic getaway disappointed that the local pub has closed due to covid and the other 1 is an hours walk however 10 mins in the car

- Samantha, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your break at Pond Cabin. The village pub is closed temporarily bu the locals are hopeful that new tenants will be found soon. In the meantime the Golden Lion at Stithians Lake is going strong and is a 10 minute drive or a 45 minute walk. Property Owner

“The sofas where uncomfortable.”

It was like sitting on the floor . Mattress on the bed you could feel the springs . The access to the pond cabin was over grown causing scratches to my car in the lane . . It is a nice place but needs updating . And the lane to it needs cleaning up over grown trees

- Philip, July 2020

We were sorry to hear that Pond Cabin did not meet your expectations and we aim to provide a comfortable environment for our guests. In response to your points regarding the sofa and bed; the sofa is lower than some but we would not agree that it is like sitting on the floor and the mattress was commented upon favorably by other guests staying in the same month. Regarding the access lane this is a public highway with the verges under different ownerships and so is not something we can strim. Vegetation can encroach in the height of summer but we drive the lane everyday without scratching our cars. We take great care of the garden which is within our control. We hope that you still enjoyed your week in Cornwall. Property Owner

“We have just returned from a week long stay in this beautiful lodge along with our 11 month old black labradour.”

Such a beautiful, relaxing setting and so pretty and comfortable inside with everything we need to enjoy our stay with even a dog bed provided for our dog. A lovely big field, garden area to sit outside and let the dog have a roam around and also a bbq supplied to enjoy outside dining. Everything was so clean and the bed very comfortable too. We even had fresh flowers, coffee and shortbread left out on our arrival..Thankyou so much for this wonderful stay, we are very sad to be home today and wish we could have enjoyed another week there. Highly recommend anyone to stay here, its truly lovely and we would love to return one day. Thankyou so much x

Nick July 2020

“The setting is beautiful - lovely, tranquil valley with lots of shrubs and a wonderful huge lily pond.”

The cabin itself was ideal for us, pretty well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Very convenient for both coasts, and away from the crowded tourist traps. A nice walk up the lane behind the hamlet to Stithians Lake, keep walking to the other side and the pub has a big, well spaced out garden.

Eunice October 2019

“It was such a peaceful site perfect for my husband, myself and our dog.”

So central for all our trips, and lots to do and great places to eat nearby. Unfortunately the owners were away the week we were there and on the info left in the cabin they said as there was no washing machine they would do a wash for us, as they were not there we couldn't take this offer up. Luckily the weather was great and we were able to make do with the clothes ect we took. It would have been very different had it been bad cold and wet weather and maybe this needs to be looked at if they are away again when the cabin is booked. We are not complaining only making a suggestion. The scones jam and cream on our arrival was a wonderful surprise and really appreciated. Hopefully we can go back sometime.

“Ideal for dog owners.”

Very peaceful and good location for south west Cornwall.

- Lesley, September 2019
Iain September 2019

“Superb getaway, conveniently nestled away in a quiet location, easy access to all routes and within an hour or so of most locations.”

The cabin was clean, cosy and well appointed. We had cream scones, milk, tea and coffee for our arrival. There was a lovely kitchen with all utensils, oven and coffee machine, even the pods to go with it. Towels and bedding supplied. If it was cool there are plenty of fires to keep you cosy. Just a wonderful break, thoroughly recommended.

- Iain, September 2019
Debbie August 2019

“Absolutely lovely cabin in a beautiful location.”

Claire and James gave us a very warm welcome with a lovely cream tea and biscuits for the dogwaiti g for us after a long journey. Would highly recommend Pond Cabin for a peaceful break away from it all.

Kimberley August 2019

“The peaceful setting.”

Everything you need close by. Such a lovely place to just relax in and enjoy the surroundings.

Richard July 2019

“Location was amazing and the setting for the cabin was brilliant, quiet, secluded it was very peaceful and relaxing.”

15 minute drive to a very nice dog friendly beach and 10minutes from the centre of Falmouth. The cabin was cosy and facilities were adequate, some of the cabins features I feel are in need of an update. An appropriate height BBQ would've been handy instead of cooking from the floor and the mattress was very uncomfortable. Overall we were very happy though the cream tea upon arrival was a very nice touch.

- Richard, July 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sorry to hear you weren't impressed with the bed. The current mattress is quite new and others have reported it to be rather comfortable! Rest assured we will investigate this further. Property Owner
Melanie July 2019

“A lovely setting, good value for money, ideal with a dog with the use of a wonderful field, owners wonderfully friendly and extremely obliging, the welcoming scones, jam and clotted cream was a nice touch, sadly the bed was a little uncomfortable.”

- Melanie, July 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It was lovely to meet you. I am sorry to hear you weren't impressed with the bed. The mattress is quite new and others have reported it to be rather comfortable! We will investigate this further in between bookings. Property Owner

“The lady owner unfortunately gave me the wrong key code to access but we soon sorted that out with a phone call In general excellent location and facilities May me worthwhile investing in a DVD player or possibly Sky TV as the TV choice was a little dated But OK for a weekend ?”

Does need a few small repairs ir Toilet door lock Electric Fire (Broken) Bedroom window blind (Broken) but these are really petty and overall a great stay

Simon June 2018

“Very quiet and a central location to explore south north & west as we did.”

Didn't need to go east on this trip. The cabin was lovely, clean and comfortable. Would book again if in Cornwall but unlikely for sometime due to the need to go to other parts of the UK now that my circumstances have changed.

- Simon, June 2018

“Pond Cabin is a lovely, peaceful retreat in a gorgeous setting away from it all but within easy driving distance of everything you could want from a holiday.”

Highly recommend a stay.

“The owners lived on site and were excellent even supplying scones, jam & cream.”

- W, March 2018
Janet March 2018

“Pond cabin was the most delightful little cabin.”

We were greeted with flowers and a wonderful cream tea with fresh baked scones. It is so peaceful and lovely here with easy walks to the village ( the Seven Stars pub does fabulous meals ) and to the dam and reservoir. A car is a must for getting around Cornwall and this cabin is situated perfectly for anywhere you might want to visit. Ideal garden for children and dogs and we had a very friendly visitor in Harry the cat! The hosts are great, very helpful if you need anything but you have total privacy otherwise. We were snowed in for a day and the cabin was warm and cosy. We had a lovely week and would recommend to anyone.

The property

An idyllic tranquil spot, this cute log cabin is perfect for a romantic getaway.

Sitting within 2.5 acres of lush gardens with a rippling stream and leisurely walks it is tucked away from the owners' residence overlooking a picturesque pond.

The property sits in the tiny hamlet of Tretheague Mill, just a mile from the village of Stithians and within a few miles of Falmouth with its modern art, museums, cappuccinos and cocktails.

The town has a vibrant feel with the vast harbour forming a dramatic backdrop.

Super yachts, dinghies, cruise ships and even the odd battle ship vie for space and we recommend hopping on a boat trip from the town quay to take in the spectacle.

With regular excursions around the Carrick Roads, to Truro or the delightful village of St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula, there are plenty of options. For quintessential Cornwall, head to the villages of Helford Passage and Helford; linked by a passenger ferry these little gems are best explored on foot.

Also within a short drive are the spectacular sub-tropical gardens at Trebah, Glendurgan and Trelissick; some of Cornwall's finest.

The villages of Stithians, Perranwell and Ponsanooth are nearby with shops, inns and restaurants.

Visit the Golden Lion Inn and Lakeside Restaurant and sample some of the delicious local cuisine and then take a wander around the lake or try your hand at sailing or windsurfing at the water sports centre. The wood clad interior has been cleverly designed with a truly comfortable sitting room with squashy sofas ready to snuggle up together.

The dining area opens to a functional kitchen with an electric 2 ring hob built into a small freestanding oven.

The harmony of stylish furnishings and fabrics blend cleverly with the outside environment to create a warm, inviting ambience that will appeal to honeymoon couples and those seeking romance. Enjoy the beautiful views over open countryside from the pretty patio and garden, where you can relax with a chilled drink on the benches dotted around or dine alfresco in the sunshine, relax and soak up this very special holiday home.

For groups of up to four adults Pond Cabin can be booked with Pond Cottage (next door).

Please see reference 959223 for details and prices.
