The cottage is extremely comfortable - it felt like staying in someone's home, with fresh flowers, home-made flapjacks and a bowl of olives to accompany our glass of wine when we arrived.

11 JUNE 2018

Very well equipped and beautifully-styled cottage. Very helpful, friendly and thoughtful owner.

6 NOVEMBER 2017

Probably the best presented cottage we have ever stayed in. Very good to meet the owner personally on arrival. Loved the extra touches provided covering all our needs eg hot water bottles good range of toiletries etc

31 OCTOBER 2017

very well presented property, excellent decor and well equipped - made for a really relaxing holiday

2 Tregroes Cottage always has wonderful feedback, thank you so much.

11 JANUARY 2017

Property was fantastic. Julie went above and beyond to make the New Year special. The detail and thought that has gone into the cottage makes it one of the best I've stayed in

6 JANUARY 2017

Julie was fantastic and made our Christmas very special. Property was fabulous, meticulous attention to detail and we didn't have to vacate the property at 10am which was a bonus. Hamper was lovely and good quality and her mincemeat slices and orange and brandy butter were delicious!

9 NOVEMBER 2016

Really enjoyed the cottage

24 OCTOBER 2016

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was very cosy and very nicely decorated. We enjoyed lighting the wood burning stove in the evening, the owner had left it all prepared for us. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this lovely area of Wales

27 SEPTEMBER 2016

The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated to a high standard. Equipment was excellent and the owner seemed to have thought of everything even down to a little battery light fixed to the fridge side in case of a power cut. The welcome pack was excellent and there were fresh flowers beautifully arranged in all the rooms. Linen was lovely as were the towels and quality was very good. This is one of the best equipped and beautifully presented cottages we have stayed in via Rural Retreats. The standard of their cottages is very high.

16 SEPTEMBER 2016

This is a very well presented cottage, comfortable and well equipped.

1 AUGUST 2016

Excellent property, better than described in brochure, everything one could want.

9 MAY 2016

This is my second Rural Retreats experience and everything was handled in a professional manner. The cottage had everything we needed and the welcome basket is a winner with local produce. Host was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

24 SEPTEMBER 2018

Solebay Cottage is always presented so beautifully on arrival.
The welcome basket is a great bonus to a prefect place to stay.
Di the housekeeper does an excellent job every time we stay here.
Many thanks to her.

16 JULY 2018

Excellent location, lovely cottage and perfect weather, what more could you want

26 JUNE 2018

Very comfortable accommodation spread over five generous sized rooms. Friendly and helpful housekeeper. Location and views stunning. Going to be hard to top this, Rural Retreats.

5 JUNE 2018

Absolutely fabulous place to stay! The location was amazing and private - spectacular scenery! The rooms were spacious and extremely well appointed. The whole place was modern and renovated beautifully to the highest standards! The kitchen had everything you could possible need and the "Welcome Pack" was thoughtful and had lots of goodies! The whole place was immaculately clean! Very impressed and can't wait to stay here again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

10 MAY 2018

The cottage was immaculately presented thanks to Di.
We always enjoy our stay at the lighthouse.
The views and surroundings are breathtaking.
Looking forward to returning later in the year.

4 MAY 2018

Well appointed and a relaxing location. Only the wind and waves to be heard.

16 APRIL 2018

Spotlessly clean, beautiful rooms and linens, great welcome pack of beautiful treats. Our own problem: packing up and leaving.

3 APRIL 2018

Pendeen Solebay cottage is a wonderful, peaceful holiday venue with spectacular views and an air of history. The high quality accommodation is well equipped and cared for, with great support from Diane who looks after the cottages.

7 MARCH 2018

Comfortable and clean cottage with excellent decoration and facilities. A beautiful location. Peaceful and quiet. Loved it.

26 FEBRUARY 2018

Excellently presented property in superb location -and fantastically wild seas.

25 DECEMBER 2017

A lovely cottage in an incredible location. A quintessential Cornish area. The cottage is well presented and well equipped.

4 DECEMBER 2017

Amazing location, very cosy cottage. Couldn't have wanted for anything!

29 NOVEMBER 2017

Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Impeccably clean and tidy and was nice and warm for us when we arrived

25 SEPTEMBER 2017

Solebay Cottage itself is a wonderful place to stay. Di the housekeeper has everything ready for our arrival to an excellent standard.
We have been using Rural Retreats for many years and hopefully many more to come.
We have stayed at Pendeen Lighthouse now at least 10 times.

One thing that did niggle us this year was the amount of vehicles parked down by the fog horn building. It so spoilt the view from the lighthouse. I have not experienced this before.

29 AUGUST 2017

The only slight criticism was the amount of cars parked at the front of the lighthouse which spoilt the view a little bit. Would be better if cars were parked to the rear.

20 JULY 2017

Thought the Smeg fridge was overkill for a small cottage (wastes a lot of energy), otherwise great place.

23 MAY 2017

We have stayed at Solebay Cottage many times and this stay was just as good as ever. The accommodation is outstanding with the property bring presented in such a clean and welcoming condition.

13 MARCH 2017

I booked the cottage at very short notice, but the property was immaculate when we arrived and the welcome hamper was fresh. Fantastic service.
