Guests say

Guests consistently praise the Manacles cottage for its cleanliness, comfort, and friendly staff. The rural setting is appreciated for its tranquility and proximity to local attractions. The well-equipped cottages and additional facilities such as a communal hot tub, sauna, and games room add to the enjoyable experience. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, but overall, the property is highly recommended for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, with several guests describing the cottage as 'spotless' and 'very clean'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The location is praised for being peaceful and ideal for rural setting lovers, as well as being a good base for visiting Falmouth and other areas in Cornwall. However, there is no specific mention of proximity to amenities or attractions, which prevents a perfect score.

Guests find the beds big and comfy, and the presence of en-suites adds to the comfort. However, some guests noted a lack of hanging space for clothes and a small wash basin, which slightly reduces the comfort score.

The property's facilities, including a communal hot tub, sauna, and games room, are well-received. However, some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues such as squeaky doors and a noisy boiler system, indicating room for improvement.

The mention of a goody bag of treats for guests and their pets indicates a level of thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, it is important to note that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, may not be a consistent feature.

About this property

Manacles is a delightful two bedroom stone property, converted from the old dairy barn of the original Tresooth Farm. Set in the central courtyard, Manacles is ideal for up to four guests and two pets looking to experience the attractions of Cornwall. After a day of walking, the open-plan living space will welcome your return, complete with ample seating so you can enjoy a sit down and catch up on the TV. When hunger sets in, move over the kitchen and utilise the electric oven and gas hob in preparing a delicious meal, whilst the dishwasher will come in handy for washing up. Whisk away to either of the bedrooms, one with a superking bed, one with twin beds (which could also be a superking), both with en-suite shower facilities, so there's no need to queue in the morning! Look forward to a charming stay at Manacles, perfect for accessing the delights of Cornwall in any season.

Mawnan Smith is a charming tiny village that is situated close to the mouth of the Helford River in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has a few stores, a chapel, a restaurant, and a traditional tavern. There are several creekside and forest walks in the area, as well as subtropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah, making it ideal for ramblers. Along with fishing, the Helford River also provides chances for sailing and kayaking. The National Marine Museum, a variety of shops and restaurants, and the surrounding maritime town of Falmouth make it a well-liked vacation destination. Another option is to take the ferry from Helford Passage to Helford Village and tour the charming South Helford. From Falmouth to Truro, Enterprise Boats offers cruises up the River Fal, passing various oceangoing vessels that anchor in the river as well as famous nautical sites and landmarks.

    The cottage was well-equipped and very clean. The games room was lots of fun and a great addition! A bit more space to hang clothes and wet towels would be good. A clothes rail in each room would be perfect!
