We had a lovely week here - the cottage was well decorated, very clean and comfortable with good wifi. The gardens and ponds are beautiful and full of bird song. Well located, just a few miles from each coast with lovely beaches. Access to the cottage is by very pretty but typically narrow Cornish lanes! There is plenty to see and do locally. Many thanks Jeremy for the lovely cream tea on arrival!

Quiet and homely

Jeremy was an attentive host, and made our stay comfortable. The cottage is secluded and took a while to locate, with some help from Jeremy. It took a day or so to settle in, but after that we were quite happy.

A wonderful stay

We’ve rented this property for 7 nights. Peaceful, beautiful surroundings, picturesque garden and a cozy little home with very clean rooms and bathrooms. Jeremy has been very accommodating, and it’s very hard to think of things to complain about. We will definitely think of this hideaway again if we want to have another holiday in St Ives.

Secluded piece of paradise

Absolutely fantastic stay at this secluded little cottage. The grounds are absolutely amazing. Jeremy was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Communication great. Close enough for exploring the surrounding area. Great addition to our stay was the cream tea on arrival. Will definately return. Thanks so much Jeremy you are amazing.

Quiet and seclude

If you want quit and/or secluded thats the place to go. Lovely gardens. Unfortunately the weather was a bit cold with a lot of wind. That made sitting and anjoying the ouside problematic. We went out with the car a lot to visit like Mousehole and stIves etc.. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Driving on the narrow roads was quite a challenge.

A peaceful place with a beautiful big garden. The cottage was nicely furnished and, although a bit dated, it was very cosy. We especially appreciated the scones with jam and clotted cream (a lovely cream tea!) and the fresh flowers on the table. The beds were comfortable, and having two bathrooms was very convenient.The only downside was the musty smell of mould in the right-hand bathroom. It really didn’t smell fresh. We kept the window open and the door closed, which helped a bit.

Wunderschöne zwei Wochen im „Hideaway“ in Cornwall! Wir hatten einen absolut erholsamen und traumhaften zweiwöchigen Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft. Das „Hideaway“ war für uns der perfekte Rückzugsort. Ein großes Dankeschön an unseren Gastgeber Jeremy – wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen und können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Die vorhergehenden Bewertungen können wir nur bestätigen.Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Cottage ist klein aber sehr gemütlich und gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Lediglich die Ablagemöglichkeiten in den Schlafzimmern und den Bädern sind aufgrund des begrenzten Raumes sehr knapp. Auch der Außenbereich ist sehr schön und die absolute Ruhe traumhaft.

Schönes Haus in toller Lage

Die Lage des Cottages ist total ruhig. Man hört nur das plätschern des Baches. Zu dem Haus gehört ein schönes Gartengelände mit mehreren Teichen. Auf dem Gelände wohnt auch der nette und diskrete Vermieter.Im Haus findet man alles was man braucht, auch um ernsthaft zu kochen und zu backen. Das Internet ist schnell genug um Filme zu streamen. Mit dem Fahrrad ist man in 10 Minuten in St. Ives, zurück brauchten wir aber eine halbe Stunde.
