Our family loved our stay in this beautiful property.
We had lovely views of the sea and were very close to Carne & Pendower Beaches and St Mawes. Highly recommended.

Perfect Family Holiday
Beautiful house, in a perfect location. We loved the walk to Pendower beach, just perfect for our multi-generation beach holiday.
Plenty of space in the house, which was spotlessly clean. Lots of nice touches to ensure a relaxed holiday.
We had an unfortunate issue with the heating, though the owner did her very best to respond and rectify.
We would love to go back there!
More dishwasher tablets and coffee pods would be nice !

Dingles Cottage
Generally good accommodation and condition inside.
Feel there should be some flagging of the fact it is on a busy road and when windows are open there is a lot of road noise. Not relaxing. Also there were maintenance issues e.g. peeling paint on garden wall, grass not cut and patios not swept... definitely took away from it being a 'Finest Retreat'

Cornwall ist soooooo wunderschön
Es war ein wunderschönes Haus, es hat an nichts gefehlt, wir waren vollkommen zufrieden. Nur eines hätten wir auszusetzen. Man müsste an der Ausfahrt vom Grundstück einen Spiegel für den Verkehr anbringen, denn die Ausfahrt ist unübersichtlich und gefährlich.
Wir würden immer wiederkommen und auch mit Finest Retreats buchen.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you found the house beautiful and were completely satisfied with your stay. We truly appreciate your valuable suggestion regarding a traffic mirror for the exit we take guest safety very seriously and will certainly look into this. It's fantastic to know you would come back, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
