  Born and bred in Falmouth, I have visited Cornwall many times over the years and stayed in a lot of cottages and I must say Woodbine Cottage is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

  Spacious with room for 8 people, the cottage has a nice balance of comfort and practicality. The lounge/diner was cosy with plenty of seating for our party and the kitchen was very well equipped. The 4 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 WCs, were key in our decision to book the cottage. It was good to be able to enter the cottage via the large utility room and to be able to remove dirty outdoor clothing and use the handy downstairs bathroom before entering the living areas. There was plenty of off-road parking for our 2 cars and a lovely secluded patio area with seating and a fire pit. On our arrival, the cottage was a little cool, but the underfloor heating and panel heaters soon had it lovely and warm. Regrettably, it was not cold enough to warrant firing up the woodburning stove. Must come back in the winter and try it out. The cottage is set in the beautiful village of Mylor Bridge which has everything you could want. There is a lovely pub in the village serving Cornish ales and an extensive menu. The village has two shops including a post office, a butchers and a fresh fish shop. There is a large well equipped play park for children of all ages. The scenic walk from Mylor Bridge around the headland to Restronguet Creek and the Pandora Inn with its floating jetty, is not to be missed. Close by, the town of Falmouth offers a bustling town centre with plenty of restaurants and shops. Falmouth has several good beaches. Pleasure boat cruises on the Fal and Helford rivers are a great way to take in the coastline. Within a short drive, you can access the world class visitor attractions of The Eden Project, St Michaels Mount and The Lost gardens of Heligan. Despite the inclement weather, we managed to fit in a visit to the Eden Project, a Fal river cruise, a walk to the Pandora Inn and several trips to the beach. We had a great holiday and look forward to staying in Woodbine Cottage again in the near future.

  On arrival the house was very cold with no heating on.

  Additionally the house was filthy and smelt appalling.Nothing had been hoovered the stair carpet in particular looks like it's never seen a hoover.The smell turned out to be all the downstairs hard floors had been mopped using a filthy mop that smelt of stale urine and has long seen better days.There we're filthy crockery in cupboards and as for the cutlery what can I say truly horrendous..u Upstairs was no better the bathroom has toilet seat that doesn't stay up or even fit and the grouting on the floor is filthy the sink doesn't hold any water.in the bedrooms things are no better very old poor quality mattresses in each room covered by toppers that don't fit.also why would you put double bed size bedding on king size bed? On our first night we went out and bought replacement bedding crockery and cutlery.Additionally the thermostats on most of the radiators don't work so you either cooked or froze the heating in the front bedroom room does not work at all.The blind in the twin room is broken Outside the garden is not dog proof with fencing being down in several places You also have to put out other people's rubbish which considering there is only one small bin is unpleasant Overall if I could leave zero stars I would.It appears as long as it's being booked the owners don't care about guests holidays or even there own property.All this points have been left by previous guests either in visitor book or online so please please do something about it before you ruin more people's holidays.please note that we booked this in 2019 and then had to change because COVID lock downs etc so at time booking we're unaware of poor previous reviews

  Cream teas and milk in the fridge on arrival was great and the property was clean, but is very tired and dated.

  It has the potential to be amazing but it feels like you are living back in the 1980’s. Every cupboard in the kitchen is absolutely full of ‘stuff’ meaning there is nowhere for you to put food or anything you brought with you. The TV only worked sporadically as it has a loose connection and the shower was disappointing and the front door only stays closed if you lock it! We were aware there was no downstairs WC, but it was more of an issue than we expected as we took elderly family with us- the utility room is a huge waste of space - plenty of room to incorporate a downstairs WC- but as I’ve already said- the house needs money spending on it. The garden is a positive, getting the sun for most of the day. We also had telecom workman digging holes in the road for two days, blocking the driveway and starting work at 7.30am - it would have been good to be warned! The property is in a great location, but a bit basic - so sadly not for us.

  Lovely comfortable house and we very much enjoyed our stay.

  A welcome pack of house info would be nice, little things like nearest shops, and walking route to the beach, which is really quick and easy once you have found it!! Some basic cleaning supplies would be good too, I like to keep the properties I stay in clean, especially the kitchen but there was no cleaning products at all. The patio door needs looking at, it doesn’t slide very well and we had trouble closing it so decided not to open it again. Not a problem im March, but summer visitors will need it as there are no other opening windows downstairs. Not wanting this to sound too negative as it is a lovely comfortable house in an ideal location to explore from. We would definitely visit again.
