Little May

Little may cottage was exactly what we expected, clair was a lovely and very helpful explaining where places were, the cottage was 5 stars had everything you needed, there was plenty of running area for our 2 border colliers, Thank you clair for the doggy biscuits for our dogs

The loviest little barn.

Totally adequate in every way. Extremely clean and comfortable. Owners very accommodating. Had our daughter, partner and their dog to visit and they also completely bowled over by it.

A lovely little cottage situated a little off the beaten track which we like.

Plenty of places within easy reach to explore with the beaches being a big attraction. It was particularly good for exercising the dog !

Unfortunately there were some dog hairs on the bedsheet.

Otherwise everything was great..quiet and peaceful. Hosts were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect. We would definitely go again..!

We had a lovely holiday at little may Clair was lovely helpful nothing too much trouble everything you need in this charming cottage, we will be back 10/10 Thankyou Claire

Lovely cottage with excellent facilities, however the lounge area could do with updating i.

e. comfy sofa and dining chairs, a stable coffee table. A window blind in the bathroom would also be beneficial.

This was supposed to be a quiet cottage in the country.

Not so! There is a yard outside the cottage, where we had two allocated parking spaces. This leads to a paddock where we could exercise our dogs. After we arrived, I received a text message from the owner, who lives next door, telling me that there would be a few more cars in the yard, as she holds swimming lessons. This was a gross understatement, as there were up to six cars parked right outside the cottage most days. Our holiday suddenly changed beyond all recognition. We were no longer guaranteed our parking spaces, as parents of swimming-club children would park in them. We could no longer take our dogs over to the paddock in safety, because of the coming and going of traffic. We had no privacy. One morning I was in the kitchen wearing my dressing gown and making my breakfast, with an audience of two cars full of children staring in. We also had no peace and quiet. Our dogs were constantly disturbed by the sound of traffic coming and going, car doors slamming, people talking and children shouting. We could no longer leave the back door open to help disburse cooking smells. We spent the week with all of the curtains and blinds closed. None of this is mentioned in the property listing, or conveyed to the holidaymaker until it is too late. I would not have booked if I had known that the cottage is situated in a busy car park. We have been duped, and I am extremely annoyed about it. Needless to say, I will not be returning or recommending this property to anyone. This issue needs to be rectified immediately.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the little may cottage.

The host Claire is excellent and friendly. The property is just a short way from Newquay and provided us the ability to visit many places whilst in Cornwall. The house was extremely clean and even included dog treats for our pup! There is a great field right next to the house to stretch out all of our legs and is even included in the price! We would highly recommend the little may cottage to our friends, family and anybody looking to explore Cornwall.

Lovely little cottage.

Very quiet location.

Lovely cottage, nicely secluded with very friendly owners.

Would recommend to anyone and would stay there again.

It was a great property and the hosts were so helpful.

Will definitely return, just perfect for us.

Vacuum cleaner would be useful addition to the equipment.

Overall very happy stay at Little May.

It was an intrusion into our holiday not being able to have the backdoor open for the dog to go out due to the cars arriving and leaving between 3pm and 6pm on the days we were there.

We had not been forwarned prior to booking the holiday. No information on what could be recycled. No leaflets on local attractions in the are. The fridge door was hung on the wrong side to gain access to the fridge. You needed to lean round the door. The door was reversible.

We had a fantastic holiday in Cornwall and Little May was as described.

Clair was marvellous, nothing seemed too much trouble at all . Quiet and rural location with good access to Newquay and the surrounding area.

2nd stay at Little May.

Excellent location. Clair & Andy are lovely. Loved little May. Felt relaxed staying there & completely at home. Scenery is outstanding. Would highly recommend a stay there. Can’t wait to go again.

This is a lovely little cottage that is perfect for couples, and Claire is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble for her.

It's in the perfect location for Newquay, Parenporth, Hollywell Bay etc, but there are some need to knows that considering guests should be aware of. Pro's 1. Location 2. Very clean and modern 3. VERY POWERFUL oven and hob (I know because I cremated a pizza in it in less than 7 minutes!) 4. Amazing Host. 5. Stunning views Cons. 1. The owners live next door and you can see their garden from the living room window that may feel a little obtrusive to some people. 2. Claire teaches swimming lessons in the evenings from 4pm-6pm and on Saturdays from 10am - 12pm so parking can get busy, but Claire ensures no one parks in your bay and her students remain considerate to her guests. 3. There is no washing machine or ironing board at the cottage ( understandable because it is small) 4. The bed isn't very comfortable, but isn't a huge inconvenience. 5. No local shops - everywhere is a drive (didn't bother us, but may do with some people) Overall, we enjoyed our stay at little may, and I would recommend it to anyone if you just want a get away where you can be left alone to venture out with your pooch.

Little May is homely & comfortable.

Beautiful scenery & the field is lovely for our dog to runaround. Owners friendly & accommodating. The location is excellent to go into Newquay (few minutes drive) & further afield. Will highly recommend to friends & family. Can’t wait to go back.

Excellent stay, cottage compact but had all amenities needed.

Great area for our dog to roam. Very friendly and helpful owner. Excellent location for sightseeing.

Lovely little cottage with great hosts.

Thoroughly recommend a stay. Can’t wait to go again.

Perfect holiday accommodation for 2.

Comfy bed, Good equipped kitchen. Nice location for Newquay & beaches.

Had a lovely stay at Little May.

Clair had thought of everything & the cottage was comfortable & clean. We will definitely be back in 2023.

Fab property wish we had booked to stay longer

We had a wonderful stay at Little May very clean owners were lovely made sure that we had everything we needed.

Location in a beautiful spot with lovely views. Can't wait to go back we definitely recommend Little May ideally located for travelling around. Caroline and Olivia Tillston

We had a fantastic stay at Little May.

The setting with the views over the fields was outstanding. The cottage was perfect for what we needed and, most important of all, it was ideal for the dogs. Great hosts, friendly, approachable & knowledgeable about the area. All in all it was exactly what we needed.

The property is set in a lovely area with good views across farm fields.

It is in an ideal location to get easy access to the whole of Cornwall. The property has all the necessary facilities that are needed. The property was clean and in a good condition.

We had a great week at Little May Cottage, it was very cosy and spotlessly clean it's location was fantastic with great views across the lovely countryside especially from the field which you are allowed to sit and exercise your dogs, the Cottage was down a lane away from any passing traffic and very peaceful, the owners were friendly and approachable and very respectful of your privacy.

All in all we had a great time and will definitely return to Little May

The cottage is lovely and comfortable, however the knives and forks plastic were child size and flimsy.

We were contacted by owner for access when we arrived as they were away until Sunday. On Sunday no contact but asked the husband and he said he'd get some but not to throw old ones away, quite stand offish. These were given to us Wednesday,. We thought we had a patio and access to shared garden/field, this turned out to be a car park for swimming lessons in hosts pool 4pm to 7pm and Saturday mornings. The amount of traffic as we sat trying to relax/eat outside was upsetting as this wasn't in itinerary, we booked last August. Reading feedbaxk from this year someone else has left similar feedback, we booked last August as we certainly wouldn't have booked it. No local walks as stated either. We didn't see female owner until we were packing to leave Saturday in passing asked if we'd had a good week, we mentioned not knowing about swimming lessons and car parking, she said it does say in description, and we had to share area, quite rude. The owners also had a large alsation dog, our dogs petrified when it barked We wanted a quiet get away with our 2 dogs, this wasn't quiet or completely dog friendly as stated.videos and photos taken to back this complaint.

Excellent property and location that far exceeded our expectations.

Loved our stay.

Perfect location for us and owners very welcoming

Lovely little cottage, clean everything you need, close to many beaches and activities, would definitely recommend.

A nice little comfortable cottage with friendly owners.

We had a lovely holiday. Cottage in a good location for exploring coastal areas.

The owners were lovely and very approachable.

I even managed to cook a three course Christmas dinner as facilities were great. Definitely need a car to explore beaches and nearby places. Would recommend

Cottage clean & comfortable Hosts were welcoming & said if we needed them we could contact them Did greet us on passing Grassed area to exercise dogs only drawback as most days cars we coming in & out visiting the indoor pool which caused my dogs to bark alot Did not locate any walks for our dogs without going out in car as end of track was a busy A road Plenty of places to visit in surrounding area Other than this we had a lovely time quiet in the evening to relax

Little May is lovely and the owners are really nice and their dog Duke is gorgeous.

We really enjoyed our stay and so did our dog tilly. Will definitely be booking again.

Fabulous home from home.

The cottage was the perfect base for us to explore Cornwall. The owners were super friendly and gave us some great info of the area and recommendations. We loved sitting out on the swing seat and taking in the beautiful views and our little dog had a blast running around the paddock. Thanks for a great holiday!

Great place for what we needed.

Everything supplied and if you needed something I'm sure the hoist would supply. Very friendly and helpful. Perfect place for our dog to have a run around first thing, dry off from the beach on the grass or last thing at night (secure and the option of closing the main gate if you needed). Will recommend and already thinking of booking it again next year

Very comfortable accommodation with everything you need.

Andrew and Clair were very helpful and friendly and know the area really well. The cottage is set in lovely grounds and is central to many surrounding towns and beaches. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay at Little May was really good just what we needed the facilities were as advertised.

The only thing we would change would be slightly more seating. The area for the dogs was brilliant and the owners were very friendly. It was a shame the weather was not too good but that's Britain for you.

Property very compact but sufficient for a short holiday.

The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We hoped to walk from the property, but not possible.

Very peaceful and relaxing thank you

This was our belated honeymoon a week without children so we were very excited.

Got lost trying to find little May don’t use satnav only phone a phone will take you directly there. Once we found the cottage I was blown away a small cosy cottage In a beautiful setting we bought our beagle along with us garden fully enclosed. Once inside cottage very clean very modern amazing storage and cooker. Only downside as it used all my data no WiFi. I’d 100% stay here again And planning on it just need childcare the owners are the most lovely helpful couple recommend a few walks for us loved them..., their red book with beaches etc highly recommend. Can’t thank them enough thank you so much for making our honeymoon one to remember.

The cottage is ideally situated for rambling beach walks and headland hikes.

Our dog was welcome and he thoroughly enjoyed romping in the enclosed garden. The facilities were just what we needed for a few days away from the city. We were made to feel very welcome and Clair was a great host. We will definitely come again. No internet meant that we had more time to read. Thank you.

Lovely clean cottage good location would definitely recommend
