Thank you we had a wonderful time

The house was exactly what we wanted as a base for our time in cornwall. The house is a high standard our only small gripe is the size of the tv. Visited Eden project, Lost gardens of Heligan, Greats walks and food in Charlestown, Mevagissy, Lands end and St Ives.

Clean and Tidy everything we needed a home away from home

The perfect summer getaway. Cove House has served our family well. Its in a great location for Charlestown harbour and Porthpean beach right on your doorstep. As a family we used it as a base for exploring cornwall. Eden Project, Carlyon Bay closeby and slightly further afield Newquay, Fistral Beach, Crantock Beach, St Ives, Lands End and Sennon Cove. Cant wait to visit again.

Really recommend this property

I began planning for “An Expedition to the Eden Project” at the beginning of ’66, which changed personnel and timing throughout the year till August ’26 and i was the only original member left. I invited perhaps my oldest friends from Bordeaux – La famille Le Faurichon – my 3 favourite Frogs husband, wife and daughter. I am 90 now and cannot promise to come back, but please accept that we will recommend cove house as a base from which to discover Cornwall!

Spotlessly clean & tidy throughout.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. We found it spotlessly clean & tidy throughout. It is well equipped with everything. The beds were very comfortable. We used the home as a base and spent each day out and about.

Lovely house

A lovely house from which to base our all too brief stay in Cornwall. Very comfortable, kitchen worked well. We enjoyed the Eden project, checked up on family history and the lost garden of Heligan. Very delicious dinner at Polgooth Inn, atmosphere so different to Australia! Would love to come again to Cove house.

Pleasant stay

We stayed for three nights and had a lovely time. The house is comfortable and has everything you would need. Very bright and airy and clean. The garden is enclosed and very pleasant. Also a great location! Thank you for the welcome gift. The third bedroom single bed is more of a put up bed and small. TV took a bit of working out and heating upstairs didn’t work.

We had a lovely 7 days at the Cove House.

We felt very much at home. The Cove House had everything we needed and more. The house was the perfect base for exploring Cornwall and Dartmoor. We'd love to come back. Many thanks. Melanie and Detlef and dog Lilly Georgsmarienhütte, Germany
