Lovely location. Well decorated. Comfortable bed and pillows. One kitchen window has damp problem below and needs attention For dishwasher it would be helpful to have more cutlery and crockery - only 5 forks
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location and the cottage. We will address your constructive feedback, thank you.
Fantastic location and lovely comfortable cottage
Lovely location. Difficulty contacting housekeeper; phoned four times, but eventually had to contact Rural Retreats office for assistance.
Lovely location and venue
Lovely New Year break with friends. Fascinating site by Lizard Lighthouse and short walk 0.4m to Lizard Town with cafe, bar, shops. Cottage good size, comfortable and clean. Sharing 1 bath/toilet not ideal but public toilets a 2 minute walk away.
Overall, the accommodation was what we hoed for i.e. clean, a pleasant place to come back to in the evening and very warm which was welcome in the cold weather. However, the kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking - two not very large saucepans and only one lid is inadequate even for two people. As new customers we noted how much emphasis Rural Retreats put on the provision of a hamper so we were really shocked to see that the eggs provided were from caged hens. Animal welfare organisations such as the RSPCA are campaigning against such practices. The lack of any facility for recycling waste is also surely unjustifiable these days.
Thank you for your feedback. We have asked the housekeeper to look into the kitchen equipment and we have also advised that eggs should absolutely not be be from caged animals. The waste at Longships is actually sifted through at a transfer centre.
The whole experience was great. I was late contacting for the keys, but the lady was soo helpful. The cottage was well maintained, and clean. The welcome hamper was a delight. Plus the whole location made it worthwhile. We will be back, without a doubt.
perfect place to stay for us
Great accommodation super clean with lovely welcome basket and fantastic location. Easy to find and ease of locating keys. Everything you needed at the property and impressed with eco friendly coating products.
Fabulous view of the sea. Very modern. Excellent welcome hamper. So excited to hear the fog horns go off and our trip around the lighthouse was brilliant π π
Everything was good but more crockery and mugs would be useful as either had to run dishwasher half full or get stuff out to hand wash. Also frying pans not very efficient on hob
Lovely Cottage, including welcome package, had a wonderful holiday in Cornwall. Will definitely return.
Lovely cosy cottage with plenty of space and we appreciated the warmth. Very comfortable beds. Would have rated it with 5 stars but some of the kitchen cupboards werent as clean as they could have been.
Had a really lovely time in a very beautiful location.
Lovely, very spacious, cottage that has been done up to a high standard. A perfect place to spend a couple of days relaxing by the sea, especially with the access straight out onto the SW Coastal Path. The welcome hamper was both very well stocked and completely unexpected (as we had assumed that with Covid-19 changes this wouldn't happen). Arranging key collection was also very easy and non-contact. Good communication throughout. Be aware that there is no WIFI and phone signal is rather limited - both a plus point in our view but may be problematic for others.
Brilliant location great cottage.
The cottage is very well presented with comfortable beds, sitting and dining rooms. However, we can not award 5 stars for 2 reasons. 1. Wifi is impossible to find - even the BT Hub as mentioned by a previous visitor. Also, unless you are able to access O2 there is no mobile phone connection. 2. Beware, the hot water is scaldingly hot and there are no warning notices. To wash hands etc don't turn the tap past halfway until the water has heated through or you could suffer a nasty burn.
I am delighted you found Longships to be well presented and comfortable and thank you for leaving your review. We do not advertise Wi-Fi at this cottage because, at the moment, due to the location, there is unfortunately no Wi-Fi available. Again, due to the location, the mobile phone reception is sketchy. Regarding the taps -they are actually mixer taps, so the temperature is adjusted as you use them.
We arrived in the middle of Storm Dennis. The cottage was warm, well laid out and very comfortable. The welcome hamper provided was superb. We arrived too late to shop on a Sunday evening, the hamper provided all we needed until we shopped on Monday. It was without doubt one of the most comfortable holiday cottages I have stayed in. Everything was provided, beds made and towels laid out. The sea views from the bedrooms, lounge and dining room were excellent. The fog horn sounded through out the night on a couple of occasions but we did not find the tone irritating and soon forgot it was there (without earplugs). I would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to our next stay.
Excellent location, very comfortable cottage. Felt like home! Stunning scenery. Would highly recommend a visit.
