  Merlin Cottage is beautiful and so well located for easy access to many landmarks in Cornwall. There are amazing walks immediately as you step out of the front door and having the river so close by is a real bonus. The cottage is set in a tiny hamlett with friendly neighbour's. Be prepared to drive down some very narrow lanes with no passing places to get there! The nearby town of Lostwithiel is quaint but well serviced with a coop, restaurants and takeaways. We can highly recommend the Moonlight Tandoori. Lostwithiel can be walked to in around 30 minutes through the countryside and along the picturesque river. Lovely beaches are about 15 min by car. We loved the nearby town of Fowey and the Eden project is on the doorstop. Top tip, Eden offer a very generous discount if, like us, you're on universal credit. The cottage it self is full of charm, well equipped and clean. The owners left us tea, biscuits, fresh milk and toiletries which was a nice touch. Ceilings are low, you can't stand straight if you're over 6ft like my son. This is to be expected of a 500 year old cottage and part of its charm. We enjoyed cosying up in the evenings around the fire. Remember to bring matches to get the fire started because these weren't provided. Merlin has some fantastic outside space to sit and eat or have a coffee. We made full use of this whilst we were there. Aside from benches and and an outside table, deck chairs and loungers were also provided. Overall, Merlin Cottage is the perfect base for a Cornish holiday. Just watch your head on the beams!

  We have stayed at over a dozen Sykes cottages over the years and 4 Mowhay Cottages was by far the nicest!

  It was spotlessly clean and it had everything we needed and even some things we didn't know we needed! The Aga was lovely and kept the house so warm during a couple of very wet and windy days. We appreciated having a washer and a dryer and wood/kindling for the fire. On our first day there the shower broke but, even though it was a Saturday, it was replaced while we were out that day! Fabulous service! There's plenty of parking by the cottage and the neighbours we met were all very friendly. Such a peaceful community. The location is perfect for the most beautiful beaches....check out Hemmick beach if you are brave enough to drive along the very narrow road. This secluded beach is breathtaking. Of course Gorran Haven harbour is wonderful (great fish and chips) and Mevagissy and Charlestown (fish and chips on the harbour are amazing!) are both lovely too. Caerhays and Carylon beaches were two of our favourites and all dog friendly which our terrier Fynn enjoyed. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are stunning and we can highly recommend the Sunday roast they serve. The farm shop there is wonderful too....try the apricot flapjacks if you're lucky enough to catch them while they are in stock. Very popular and sell quickly! We had such a wonderful week in Cornwall and we can't praise the cottage highly enough. Thank you x

  We had a very enjoyable holiday at Quay House.

  The property is located in a quite area of Charlestown, though still close to the main facilities on offer. On arrival we were provided with a very nice welcome pack. There is plenty of space to relax after a busy day. The kitchen had everything you would require on holiday, even the Aga was easy to use. The bedrooms were also spacious and comfy. Restaurants we recommend are Rebellion (just opposite the property), Pier House and The Boathouse all provided a very good choice of meals. We had plenty of walks along the South West Coast Path, which is easily accessible from the house. Places we enjoyed were Fowey, Mevagissey, Bodmin Jail. We were very disappointed with The Lost Gardens of Heligan, very expensive entry fee for what was on offer. We would definitely stay again at Quay House and highly recommended it.

  A lovely well equipped cottage in an amazing location and generous welcome pack.

  The beds were lovely and extremely comfortable. The only slight issue we had was there were no instructions to operate the heating. When ‘rads’ switch is turned on on the timer in the kitchen they cannot be controlled by the room thermostat on the landing. When small bed radiator is turned completely off it still gets very hot. In order to the turn the upstairs radiators off you have to turn all the individual underfloor timers off in each ground floor room. And the Underfloor heating doesn’t work in the lounge. We didn’t contract the owner as we used a process of illumination as my brother in law is a heating engineer, however I think this needs attention. We were unable to work out how to get the terrestrial channels on the tv but this was not an issue but instructions would be useful.

  Lovely cottage and so handy for the lovely pubs, shops and restaurants. The garden is gorgeous, having a lovely sitting area. Also, 15 minute walk to Readymoney, which our dog loved and great that dogs are allowed up to July 1st. She spent hours swimming. First floor bedroom is very comfortable and bathroom great. Kitchen has everything you need, with a great TV also. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, just a pull up the hill to car park, which was hard going. Encouraged us to stay in Fowey, just having one drive out to Mevagissey. Fowey is our favourite UK holiday destination and made perfect by the lovely weather we had. We’ll be back!
