Fantastic location, privacy from public, spotlessly clean, everything good quality and comfortable, including bed, shower wonderfully powerful. Nautical books a thoughtful extra.
Beautiful location. Everything was spotless and whole place was comfortable and relaxing Will come again
Lovely cottage, stunning location.
Have stayed there 4 times in the last 2 years and find it an idyllic place to enjoy some peace and quiet. Set behind gates in its own private environment the rest of the world passes you by. Superbly presented it has all you need for a holiday along with the most stunning views imagineable. Cannot recommend highly enough
A wonderful cottage in an awesome location. The cottage was beautifully presented & the whole booking /arrival process was very smooth.
Secluded, comfortable, beautiful views, nicely presented and ideal for a quiet retreat.
We were very pleasantly surprised and delighted to find the cottage was so well equipped and nicely decorated. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch as were the quality toiletries. We felt however that the cottage could do with some window coverings such as blinds in the kitchen and bathroom as the windows are obviously old and draughty. It's not very welcoming to use the nice bath at night looking at cold, uncovered glass.
Fabulous location; atmospheric and excellent cliff and rural walks on the doorstep. St Ives just a short drive away. Comfortable, warm and well equipped. Friendly help and advice from Diana throughout.
Stunning location, lovely cottage and high standard of cleanliness.
We are frequent returners to Solebay Cottage which speaks for itself. The whole experience of staying there is so relaxing. The housekeeper Diane is a great asset to staying here.
Fabuolous accomodation in wonderful location. An opportunity to stay in an unusual property. Accomodation was extremely clean and comfortable throughout. Easy access to Penzance, St Ives and Sennen. Easy access to the coast path and beach, perfect for those evening walks to watch the sunset. Will definately be returning to this property.
Really nicely furnished and everything we could need provided. Diana the housekeeper was delightful. The welcome hamper on arrival was much appreciated too!
The cottage was wonderfully clean, and it’s a gorgeous place in many ways. We will return but there are a few issues: I am not sure it was necessary to remove the pictures and cushions, so I wonder if you can rethink your policy on that? Whoever planned the kitchen did a really bad job. It looks very smart I agree, but that cutlery drawer is the stupidest thing ever. It’s a cottage for 4, yet they only gave a narrow dishwasher. There would have been room if there hadn’t been a silly narrow cupboard. And it’s false economy to buy cheap dishwashers hobs etc anyway - brands you’ve never heard of - this one didn’t get things clean. It was a cheap hob too and kept cutting out at odd times, so it wasn’t worth getting a repair man out.
We agree, Solebay is a gorgeous place! Thank you for your lovely comments about the cleanliness. We have taken out the cushions and other soft furnishings as it is felt that these cannot be cleaned effectively during each changeover however we have not actually removed any pictures. We are sorry that you, and the housekeeper, had difficulty lighting the rings on the hob -this seemed to rectify itself and no further action was required. We have not received any other comments regarding the dishwasher and the housekeeper has not experienced any problems with it.
Super location, very clean (thank you Diana), cosy and well appointed. Décor smart and in very good order / well maintained. Only two small points: bathroom sink very slow to drain and lots of woodlice in 'outer; toilet room' - appreciate difficult to eradicate in older buildings - and was pre-warned by Diana! It was thoughtful that Diana phoned us to check on preferences as to Bread and Wine for the welcoming hamper - this was a very nice thought and much appreciated. All in all, a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday -notwithstanding the storms and gales. We would definitely recommend Solebay and Rural Retreats and will most definitely consider booking another holday with them.
Beautiful location; great accommodation- sparkling clean, comfortable and lacked nothing. Diana was a friendly and welcoming host. Couldn’t wish for a better place.
This was the second visit in 3 months, it’s a wonderful location and the cottage was superbly equipped and presented. The housekeeper is easily available if required but you’d be hard pressed to find anything wrong. If you want peace and quiet there is nowhere better yet shops and pubs are just up the road. Highly recommended we shall be going again later in the year. Oh and don’t forget the views!
Excellent cottage- clean, well presented and welcome hamper was great! Host also very welcoming and friendly.
Spectacularly presented and wonderfully equipped. Fabulous place for a quiet break. Housekeeper on site should you need anything (which we didn’t) couldn’t have asked for a better site for a very comfortable stay. Plus the views! Unbeatable
Stunning location and roomy cottage. Very clean and homely. Definitely coming back.
Stunning location! We had a wonderful holiday and look forward to going back.
