Overall, the cottage offers a memorable and relaxing holiday experience, especially for those seeking peace, nature, and outdoor amenities.
Several guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, but others reported issues such as dirty bed sheets, mould in showers, fly droppings, and general lack of thorough cleaning. These mixed experiences indicate that cleanliness can vary, with some stays falling short of expectations.

Had the most perfect week at No Place, the weather was so hot we barely left the beautiful cottage gardens and swimming pool which we were more than happy to do.It really is a lovely, unique holiday stay, there's a wonderful calmness to the place, and the views from the garden are stunning.

Had the pleasure of spending a week here between the 8th and 15th of May. The cottage, gardens and pool/hot tub facilities are amazing. The location is perfect for both walking and relaxing. Lands End and Nanjizal Bay are beautiful locations just a walk away, and being able to see Sennen Beach from above every morning is nothing short of amazing, the pub, surf lodge, shop and chippy were all great and there's also a fantastic farm shop a short drive away. The weather was great and locals very friendly. We would return in a heartbeat!
