A beautifully kept cottage so clean and tidy and we were so lucky to have wonderfull weather. This was our second stay at Verity but hopfully wont be the last
Great cottage in an incredible location. Everything is first class including receiving a very nice welcome pack. Everything as described. The only challenge for us was that the internal layout doesn't make best use of the location. Totally appreciate that this isn't something that can be changed, but the layout and poor weather meant we couldn't just sit and watch the fantastic view. Only other challenge was, the sofa and armchairs are not the most comfortable. Would we stay at Verity again? Yes.
Amazing location, super friendly staff. We WILL be back!
A well refurbished cottage that was stylishly decorated and equipped. It was clean and a very pleasant place to stay. The road from St Merryn is narrow and at peak times, frequent stopping is necessary to allow other cars to pass. There seems to be no mobile signal at all and the internet is sporadic. Overall, it us a great place to get away from it all, with the Southwest Coastal Path and nearby beaches providing plenty of active opportunities. One negative, also mentioned by other people who have stayed, is that the furniture in the sitting room is pretty uncomfortable for any extended periods of sitting. A supply of cushions would help, or better still, replacements would improve the experience.
it was clean, well looked after, delightful setting, unfortunately i was taken ill and could not take time to explore but rural retreats were extremely helpful as always. This is my sixth house taken for holidays all of which have been delightful, clean, and tidy and i will continue to support Rural Retreats, in fact I have already booked my next house for 2023
A lovely, comfortable, clean and spacious cottage. Located in a unique setting and a great location for costal walks and local beaches.
Stunning location. Cottage very well equipped and spotlessly clean. One small criticism would be that the liviing room setee and chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Not too much of a problem for us as we were out the whole day and spent the evening outside watching the sun go down, but would be a issue if the weather was poor.
Beautiful quiet spot very peaceful well supplied cottage very cosy
Superb location,large comfortable well appointed cottage. We had no heating the first night,there were no directions available as to how to turn it on . The problem was quickly remedied by a local electrician the following day who knew the system and was able to turn it on. This has happened before with previous guests,well written operating instructions need to be provided.
This was a very special trewat for my husband's 60th birthday. Trevose Head has been his favourite place in Cornwall since he was young. The cottage, location, hamper were all beyond my expectations. The cottage was clean, very spacious and comfortable, just perfect! The hamper was so fantastic, it made us both feel very special and valued. Thank you ever so much.
great location - lovely cottage - really clean - great welcome pack - if you need wifi be prepared for the slow speed / none - The cliff top walks and views are amazing - Would love to go back in the future.
Well we knew what a fantastic location we were booking but waking up on the first morning and taking in the view of this incredible cottage was truly breathtaking. Traveling from the midlands with a baby we arrived at night. I was slightly nervous for any problems arriving so late but I did not need to. Our wonderful housekeeper was delightful to chat to in advance and provided detailed knowledge and help by providing equipment for our baby. The welcome basket was like nothing we have ever received before and we were truly grateful. The welcome was warm and the cottage inviting. The cottage has also been updated since the images on the website making it even more lovely. The location is simply stunning, and especially good for walkers. The sunsets were beautiful and beaches perfect. This holiday helped us to remember just how beautiful this corner of England really is. There was not many faults except perhaps the poor wifi and lack of phone signal as we were also travelling with our teen, but actually there were no complaints about if from her and we spent more time together as a family because of this. Which is everything I could hope for in a holiday. I rarely return to the same location, with so many places in the world to see but I can see myself booking a Trevose Lighthouse cottage again.
Fantastic location, fabulous food, wonderful weather - what more can I say. Thankyou once again Rural Retreats for a great holiday.
Excellent welcome hamper, clean cottage didn’t want for anything
Lovely location really comfortable cosy cottage and excellent hamper. Caroline the housekeeper was charming .
Wonderful location, very well presented cottage and excellent welcome hamper. Only slight issue was the lack of wifi, phone signal or land line in a fairly isolated area.
I was left in peace......... tho the taxi no. Was incorrect.
The cottage is beautifully appointed and has an amazing location. We felt very well looked after with the hamper provisions and the cottage was very clean and had a feeling of care and attention to detail
Unique setting in a comfortable and cosy cottage. Appreciated the excellent hamper and cleanliness. Wild and windy conditions made walking challenging. Would prefer to visit in calmer weather. Although well equipped, could not find a bread board or chopping board. Also difficulty in workout our cooker as no instructions.
