Delightful 300 year old cottage in quiet country lane

Just perfect

We would like to stay in a pretty Little Cottage during our Holiday in Cornwall- and this was exactly what we hoped to find. It was clean, well located… just an 2 hour Walk to St. Michaels Mount, half an hour with the Bus to st. Ives… Perfect And Karin was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful cottage in a great location

Cuckoo cottage was the perfect property for me and my family while we were on holiday in Cornwall. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby seaside resorts but only 5 minutes to St Michael's Mount and 15 minutes to St Ives. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. It was a struggle to drag ourselves out each morning. Excellent communication from the owners and Karen. We all agreed that we would stay here again.

Lovely Cottage

We have enjoyed our stay in Cockoo Cottage very much! All appliances work well, everything you need is there. The cottage is quite old, which means that you bump your head alot and it is quite humid. But beyond that it is just extremely cosy. The check in/out process was easy. We were there with two adults and two children and there was plenty of room for us. It is a pity that the pub down the road was closed (for good?), meaning for dinner you needed to drive to Penzance. But there is a little store down the road that had everything for breakfast. Many thanks to the host!

Beautiful cottage! Clean, well epuipped and comfortable.

Lovely open fire for chilly evenings. In a quiet village with plenty of long walks nearby and good position for exploring the west coast of Cornwall. We went in January so weather not great but had nice evenings sat by the fire in the lounge. The wood burner uses a lot of wood (not provided) so we used the open fire. The cottage was warm without this but was cozy to have the fire. Bed was comfortable and kitchen well epuipped. Pub, Chinese take away and Spar shop in the village and plenty of large supermarkets a few minutes drive away. Penzance, St Ives, St Michaels Mount and local beaches in easy reach and plenty of country walks across coast paths and farmland. Take plenty of £1 coins for the electric meter although the post office in the Spar will give change. The housekeeper is local and happy to help with any queries. Altogether a happy and relaxing break. Would recommend Cuckoo Cottage without hesitation.

Das Cottage ist wirklich niedlich und enthält alles was man braucht. Dadurch, dass das Haus sehr alt ist, hängt leider überall ein modriger Geruch, das ist aber das einzige Negative der Unterkunft.

Ruhiges Nest mit guter Lage zu den Stränden

Ein wunderschönes typisch englisches Cottage mit komfortabler Ausstattung, die sehr gut in Schuss ist. Vor allem in den Betten haben wir sehr gut geschlafen. Wir waren zu Viert dort und gerade unsere Kinder haben das Haus sehr geliebt. Überrascht hat uns die gute Lage zu den Stränden von St. Ives und Land‘s End. Mit dem Auto ist alles leicht erreichbar. Aber auch die Busanbindungen im Ort sind besser als in Deutschland. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

I could live here

A cosy cottage in a small village. Within walking distance to a convenience store and a pub, with only a short drive to Penzance for any serious shopping in Penzance. The cottage was clean and had all you could need for a comfortable stay. Communication with Louise was excellent while the welcome by Karen was warm and informative. I certainly highly recommend Cuckoo Cottage to any visitors to this region.
