  Great cottage surrounded by beautiful gardens which were perfect for our 3 girls to play in, and they did!

  Although the cottage is secluded it is only a ten minute walk into the small village of Lerryn where there is a great pub and lots of long, enjoyable walks. Lerryn is a superb place to reach lots of different activities and beaches easily, getting around was incredibly easy. We loved the village. It is obvious the cottage is loved and well looked after; the beds were super comfortable and many of the items in the cottage felt like new and of good quality. Unfortunately, the downstairs toilet broke in the first week (nothing to do with us, it just stopped taking water in to enable a flush) and, despite the housekeeper's quick response to the problem, it wasn't fixed during our stay and it began to smell. This meant we couldn't use the downstairs shower as this was in the downstairs toilet area. The second shower was used up to that point - being a family of 5 it came in really handy. On the cleanliness aspect, everything was clean except for one thing that had been missed - the utensils at the side of the cooker were covered in fat/oil splatters. This was rather off putting; as I picked one of the utensils up, not knowing this was the case, I found my hand was covered in oil. Before I used any of them, I had to hand wash them.

  A wonderful cottage.

  The garden extends all around the house, plenty of space to find shade if you want it, and large enough for badminton and mini cricket with the family. Everything is of good quality - the kitchen is well equipped - plenty of plates, glassware, etc; sofas comfortable, beds and pillows very comfy with spare blankets; wifi works well, large smart TV for films on a rainy night; logs provided for the wood burner. Garden and BBQ space are sheltered from the wind, so as soon as the sun comes out its very warm in the garden. Space to park the car out of the way in the shade. Its about 10-15 mins walk to Lerryn with its wonderful shop and pub. Only thing to watch out for is the driveway - always approach from the west near (Wooda Cross / St Veep side) as the road is very narrow and likely to scratch wider cars if coming from the east. Also if you have low ground clearance you will find your car scrapes on the road when exiting the driveway (we have audi a5 and it only just made it). Overall a fantastic place to stay, especially if you want to chill out and relax without going out too much.

  We had a wonderful time at Kingbarth, the location is amazingly peaceful and a beautiful setting in the heart of the countryside.

  The house was immaculate and furnished to a very high standard (everything including the kitchen was from John Lewis!) The beds and sofas were very comfortable and entertainment systems being the latest tech. The kitchen had everything we needed. Having a holiday home ourselves, we tend to notice every feature and things that we could be done better (or we could have) and we can honestly say that nothing could have been improved/upgraded. The village has a nice pub and a great shop that serves breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea on the lawn by the river. We spent most of our time in Fowey together with a bike ride along the Camel Estuary and a trip to Padstow. We were very sad to leave and disappointed that we couldn't book for a few more days to extend our stay!.

  We loved our stay and many thanks to Vicki for her call prior to our holiday.

  The cottage was very relaxing and comfortable. We did manage to spend a little while enjoying the garden in between showers. Our only comment would be that the directions misled us a little. It stated that Kingbarth is the only property up the narrow lane but there is also the back of a converted barn halfway up which our satnav took us to and then lost signal! Would suggest more detailed directions and maybe a sign at end of the lane to indicate the direction to Kingbarth. The directions also said that no other traffic uses the lane - we encountered a farmer trimming the hedgerows and maintenance van filling the pot holes on separate days plus a contractor's van visited the barn on site. We became quite adept at reversing back up the lane!

  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!
