Eine phantastische Unterkunft an einem umwerfenden Ort. Hier muss man gewesen sein. Wir waren nur drei Tage dort. Zu kurz. Die Wohnung ist sehr komfortabel und bietet alle Möglichkeiten einer Luxusferienwohnung, die man sich denken kann. Der Blick von dort ist nicht zu toppen. Das Auto parkt vor der Tür und Wanderungen in der Nähe sind möglich.
Wonderful accommadation with excellant views and very nice situation
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad that you have enjoyed your stay at Argus Cottage.
absolutely loved it. Location and facilities were wonderful.
Pendeen lighthouse was een unieke ervaring. We werden uiterst vriendelijk ontvangen door Diana. De locatie is fantastisch!!!
Good position nice sunsets
Fabulous from the moment Diana took us in and showed us around. We weren’t expecting to have good weather all the time, and indeed even on sunny days, the cold wind was a bit challenging for coastal walks, but to return to the cosy Argus cottage each day, was sheer pleasure. It’s kept spotlessly clean by Diana, and so well equipped and decorated too, which we really appreciated.
Wonderful location for walking. Very well appointed and beautifully clean. we expect high standards from Rural Retreats and the cottage lived up to expectations in every way with someone to greet us on arrival. Lots of places to visit in close proximity.
Location is unique and outstanding. Very spacious and high quality accommodation. Good and friendly caretaking service from Diana. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Slight problem with woodlice seeking shelter in the accommodation, but in no way did this detract from a wonderful stay.
Superb location with magnificent views. Argus cottage was spacious, well equipped and felt very light and airy. The beams of light from the lighthouse at night was mesmerising, watching the rays trace across the sea and back along the cliffs. Sadly the Milky Way was not visible at this time of year but the stars on clear nights were fantastic. Seals, Gannets and many other sea birds around and butterflies in abundance on the surrounding cliff edge flowers, just a brilliant relaxing week at the start of June. Now looking to book another!
Die Lage und Ausblicke sind unbegreiflich schön. Daher sind wir auch schon so oft dort gewesen.
Accommodation in fantastic location and was absolutely pristine throughout. It was also tastefully furnished and very comfortable. You can walk into Pendeen with 2 pubs & a cafe that does tapas 2 evenings a week. Lots of things to see & do in the area. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful Argus Cottage, adjacent to Pendeen Lighthouse, in a stunning remote and peaceful location, with wonderful sea and cliff views. Watching the lighthouse at night was fascinating. A place to be during both stormy and sunny days! The cottage is lovely, very comfortable and certainly one of the best equipped we have stayed in; with full sets of crockery, cutlery, glasses and catering equipment. Diane ensured the cottage was warm and welcoming (March) for our arrival. Many thanks.
The standard of accommodation is excellent. It’s our 10th visit to this property.
The location is magnificent - sea views to die for. Cottage itself wonderfully looked after by housekeeper but someone needs to fix issue with boiler! Flue outlet needs to be properly protected from onshore winds. Lack of heat & hot water a problem if temps drop. Despite that, we’ll definitely return.
It’s a lovely cottage, and generally well-equipped, Diane looks after it very well, and we love it, but the cottage itself has a few drawbacks: 1. The dishwasher doesn’t always get things clean. We had to rinse everything before putting them in. It’s a shame you could not fit in a large sized one… 2. There isn’t enough cutlery especially knives! 3. Can we *please* have hooks on doors in bedrooms and the kitchen for dressing gowns and aprons? 4. We hated putting all rubbish to go to landfill/incinerator and not being able to separate out things for recycling. Can you please allow this? 5. The bin in the kitchen is badly designed so it was a struggle to get the full bag out, as the lip gets in the way. I recommend a Brabantia one - more expensive but easier to use. 6. This website is annoying- it keeps flashing at me as I type!
We are delighted that you love Argus and thank you for your suggestions. I am pleased to reassure you that the rubbish does not go to landfill/incinerator. It is sorted at the site so it does not need prior separation.
The stay was amazing Dianna was perfect host and made us very welcome ! Place was clean and tidy with plenty of space and beautiful views !! only down side couldn’t leave the dog for a hour or so to go shopping or a meal out even though we brought a cage for her so couldn’t case any trouble which left us restricted. But overall 10/10
Argus is a truly magical coastal cottage with uninterrupted sea views in two directions. You will definitely need a car as it’s well over a mile’s walk to the bus stop. There’s a little bit of noise from Sole Bay cottage next door (I think their kitchen is next to the Argus bedrooms) but nothing awful. The cottage is well equipped and maintained. You don’t get many TV channels if that sort of thing is important to you.
Wonderful location and the accommodation was immaculate and had everything one could need.
Fabulous cottage in an amazing location. We went for our 50th anniversary and it was perfect in every way. Comfy bed, very well equipped, nicely furnished.
Fabulous location clean, welcoming and luxurious. With a touch of the wild, isolated away from the world’s problems and terrors. We did not want to leave. The surrounding area offers so much to see and do, and the countryside the opportunity to walk and breathe in the silence. We particularly loved the Black night sky allowing us to see the stars and spot the constellations. The light pollution in the rest of the country prevents us seeing this fantastic view anywhere else we have been.
