Beautiful cottage which was immaculately clean. Stunning location within easy reach of the beach, The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Lovely pub only a 5 min walk from the cottage. Can't recommend this property enough we hope to return in the summer.

A lovely, well equipped, spotless cottage that is well placed for visiting the area. The garden is really nice and all enclosed, which was ideal for our dog. The local pub is just a short walk away and the food is very good. The host was very friendly and quickly responded to any questions.

Gosh, what a wonderful time we spent at Brookside - I really don’t think the pictures do justice of this cottage! I can’t put into words how happy we were here!!It truly was idilic, with its enchanted gardens and exactly what we were after, for a very special family getaway.The dogs were content and enclosed, enjoying wonderful countryside scents in the garden. Our toddler was safe with the baby gates and the residing as a whole.As a mother, I was able to pop a pie in the fabulous oven & cook up spuds, upon our arrival, which really took the pressure off! There’s ample space and facilities. You may miss the property when driving, which is foolish because once you spot it, it’s so beautifully obvious with its Wisteria parking spot and stairs down to the humble cottage. So enjoy a slow drive down the lane (right of the farm gate, left of the pub) and you’ll soon spot the sweet slated plate with the cottages name. I felt so welcomed by Geoff, his communication leading up to our visit was superb. He was so considerate with our family needs, he even provided local recommendations!We've made some previous memories, thanks to our stay here, thank you.

Lovely visit

A wonderful stay in this part of Cornwall. Property was lovely and we had the comfort of the garden being totally enclosed for our two dogs. A great Pub within a 2 minute walk and location was perfect for nearby Polperro, Mevigissey, Fowey, Charlestown etc

Fantastic cottage - spacious, light, warm and has everything we needed for a great holiday. The kitchen had a rangemaster which was really nice to use, and the large family room (dining room/lounge) was a really lovely space. There are enclosed front and rear gardens which was perfect for the dog, and nice walks/runs right from the door. We met the hosts a few times and they were lovely and helpful. Would love to come back

Beautiful holiday cottage

We had a wonderful week at Brookside cottage. It was comfortable and peaceful and the garden was very beautiful. Having the Polgooth Inn a short walk away was an added bonus too! Perfect location for the Eden Project and exploring the local area. Our hosts, Geoff Jeanette were very welcoming.

Nice spot for our familiy holiday!

We enjoyed our two week stay at Brookside, a peaceful place with a beautiful green closed garden, a nice house with a large kitchen, a nice design of the interior and enough space for 5 people. From here we started our visits to the next beaches and gardens. Dear friendly and helpful hosts, thank you!

A lovely family home from home

Were all really impressed with the property, rooms much more spacious than the photos suggested, and exceptionally clean. Very good location with many activities and tourist attractions within easy reach. Geoff's communication with us was great, as well as both he and his wife Jeannette being friendly neighbours on hand if needed. We will definitely be looking to book with them again when next visiting Cornwall.

Stunning cottage, wonderful hosts - highly recommend!!!

We genuinely cannot recommend this cottage enough. It is a beautiful property, with stunning gardens. The house was spotless and had everything you could need. It's much bigger in real life than it seems in the photos and felt very spacious for four of us. The hosts are very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. We are so grateful to have found this property last minute - it really is a gem. Absolutely will be coming back!!!!

Outstanding stay

Geoff and Jeanette are warm hosts who go out of their way to ensure you have a comfortable and idyllic stay. Cottage is outstanding - I was immaculate and beautiful. The garden is magical. Pub 200 yards away and a cute small holding adjacent. Tranquil and private setting. We took our dog and the stair gate they installed helped. We had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
