Lower Colvannick is a highly praised cottage offering peace and tranquillity, with guests appreciating its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped facilities. Its location provides a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility to local attractions. The absence of Wi-Fi is noted, yet the strong mobile signal compensates for some. The thoughtful touches, such as a tasty cake and ample provisions, add to the welcoming experience.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and spotless, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained throughout the property.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to nature, with easy access to the A30 and local attractions. However, the lack of entertainment options in the immediate vicinity is a minor drawback for some.
Reviewers find the beds very comfortable and the house warm, even during a heatwave. The spaciousness and quiet environment contribute to the overall comfort of the stay.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities, though some guests missed having a dryer and Wi-Fi. The presence of a strong mobile signal and other conveniences like a dishwasher and outdoor furniture are appreciated.
The provision of items such as dishwasher tablets, soaps, teas, coffees, and a cake suggest a thoughtful approach to hospitality. While these gestures are warmly received, it should be noted that such gifts are a courtesy and not guaranteed.

A wonderful, wonderful place. A little slice of heaven. So peaceful - you feel you are away from everything but are in easy reach of some many shops and attractions. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Only two small details would change - would have liked a dryer as this was the second week of our travels and the only place to wash clothes and just need a couple more floor/table lamps in the living room to be able to read more. As you can see though if that’s all that could be added then it’s close to perfect 😊
