“The cottage was a lovely base for our holiday, fully equipped and so cosy, the perfect base for enjoying Cornwall.”

The owners were lovely and very helpful with suggestions for food and places to visit. We had a lovely and relaxing week. Thank you .

“We are waiting on our new home to be finished and have been staying in many holiday accommodations since January.”

We had instructions after a quick phone call to the owner about where the key was hidden outside the property. The sleeping accommodation and bathroom was downstairs with the living area and kitchen upstairs. It was situated in a nice little village. That’s about the only thing that was nice about our whole weeks stay! The whole place looked tired, grubby and a bit worn! The seating on the sofa was so low and uncomfortable we weren’t able to sit on it. It had collapsed in the centre. We spent our evening sitting on the dining room chairs. The kitchen was fairly well equipped. Very old appliances but they worked. Downstairs the bathroom had a good shower in it. The sink had to be scrubbed before we could use it. The bed was unbelievably uncomfortable. It was so low and so soft we woke up with really bad backs. At night it was a chore to try and sleep as the old fridge upstairs makes the loudest buzzing noise. We didn’t speak to or have any contact whatsoever with the owners. Everywhere else we have stayed, the owners have rung us or spoken to us to see if everything was ok. I understand the unusual times with Covid but it’s polite just to even say ‘Hello’ even from a distance. All in all, we would not recommend this holiday accommodation. The price we were charged was extortionate for the tiny space and what was in it. It’s been the most expensive and the least nice we have stayed in.It’s clear to see this is a way for the owners to make a fast buck! A total rip off! .

Thank you for your Feedback I wonder what the motivation is for posting such a unusually terrible review? We have overwhelmingly positive and supportive reviews, our guests enjoy their holidays in a clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Regards Owner of Wits End Property Owner
Ms Meadows July 2021

“The location of the cottage was excellent with good access to both the North and South Coast.”

The owner was extremely helpful with restaurant and days out suggestions. Beautiful country location. Would definitely book again.

Mrs Dunne May 2021

“Wits End is a delightful little cottage in a quiet little village.”

Location is very central meaning that you can easily reach lots of places on both coasts of Cornwall.

Mrs Partridge October 2020

“We arrived just as Covid 19 instructions changed so in our time we had in Cornwall due to these limitations we made the most of our stay in Witts End.”

The property is so lovely, peaceful and an ideal location to get around to see local attractions. It is clean, cosy and the owners are lovely, when we saw them. My husband and i had to cut short our holiday but we will be back in the future for our 5th stay!!! Highly recommend**

- Mrs Partridge, October 2020

Mr Partridge August 2020

“My wife and i on to our third visit to the property, we are due again to visit Wits End in a few weeks time.”

The property is lovely, so nice to chill out in a lovely cosy property, it is clean, tidy and a perfect couples retreat. The area is so peaceful too. Great location to get around Cornwall with Padstow and Wadebridge nearby. The owners are lovely. Highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you Matthew and Susan Partridge, Halesowen

Mr Emm November 2019

“Just returned from a weeks break at Wit,s End Cornwall.”

Weather awful but cottage had all you needed for a wet stay. Found parking a little bit tight,but a large car park can be used across the road. Owners very helpful should you need anything. Very good spot to cover all parts of Cornwall on your days out. Would recommend this well equipped cottage.

- Mr Emm, November 2019
Mr Partridge October 2019

“My husband and I have now been to this property twice, each time we have had a wonderful time, despite the weather, this however did not stop us from going out every day, We like the property that much we have booked to return twice next year.”

The property is situated in a lovely quiet village with the likes of Bodmin, Wadebridge, Padstow etc a drive away. This location is ideal if you want peace and quiet, it definitely suited us. It is a lovely well maintained property, very clean, cosy and the owners are lovely people, from our arrival they left us alone but I am sure if any issues had arisen they would have been there to put right. Would recommend to any couple who want a home from home, cant wait for next year's holidays to come around!!! First class property. Thank you. Matthew and Susan Partridge, Halesowen October 2019

Mr Campbell August 2019

“Charming cottage, with all needs catered for.”

Great location to explore Cornwall. Found ourselves hitting the North Coast quite a lot, with Newquay / Padstow all within 20-25 minutes driving.

- Mr Campbell, August 2019
Mr McFadyen June 2019

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Nanstallon is a lovely location and an ideal base for visiting both coasts of Cornwall. The cottage is also just 25 minutes walk from Camel Valley Vineyard which is well worth visiting.

- Mr McFadyen, June 2019
Mr Brierley June 2019

“Have stayed at this cottage before.”

Its well equipped, in a quiet spot, and with easy access to main through routes. We received a warm friendly welcome, and after a brief bit of unpacking went off to find lunch. Nanstallon doesn't have shops / pub etc, but a 10-15 minute walk to the Camel valley trail you will find the Camel valley tea gardens. Tables are on terraces overlooking the trail, hot and cold food, drinks, cream teas etc. In the opposite direction, past Boscarne junction station (steam railway) there's the Borough Arms pub. good food, carvery etc. If you need a fish and chip fix, there's an award winning chippy in Lanivet, just a few minutes drive from the cottage. For exploring Cornwall, for those who don't wish to drive all week, Bodmin park and ride rail station is only a couple of miles away. Links to most major towns in Cornwall.. Had another great week!

- Mr Brierley, June 2019
Mr Meredith October 2018

“Lovely place with good facilities.”

Have to go everywhere in the car as no local facilities.Only need to be aware of that if it would cause a problem

- Mr Meredith, October 2018

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were not informed that the local pub is a short walk along the camel trail which serves food and drinks all day. Also the camel valley vineyard is a little further in the opposite direction. Property Owner
Mr Hillman September 2018

“The location was ideal for visiting lots of places from beaches, quaint villages to National Trust properties”

- Mr Hillman, September 2018
Mrs Davis August 2018

“We had a very enjoyable holiday at Wits End.”

It's a lovely cottage with a very well equipped kitchen, and we appreciated all the books, games and dvds in the evenings. Great location for exploring most of Cornwall! Perfect with a three month old baby but probably less so when they get to the rolling stage. Few minor points - We did find the bed rather uncomfortable and the paintwork could do with a general refresh soon to make the most of the lovely building.

- Mrs Davis, August 2018

Thank you for your feedback. We have now replaced the mattress with a silent night pocket sprung mattress. We aim to provide our guests with a comfortable nights sleep. Property Owner
Dr Mahoney July 2018

“Another lovely week at Wits End!”

- Dr Mahoney, July 2018
Miss Bate June 2018

Mrs Palmer May 2018

“Cottage is in a super location, within minutes of the Camel Trail.”

Well equipped with two outside seating areas - one catches the morning sun and the other is great after a days walking. Inside is a little tired and could do with a general refresh, especially the mattress and the sofa, both of which we found uncomfortable.

- Mrs Palmer, May 2018
Mr Partridge March 2018
