Julia

Great location - access to many beaches.

John

This was our 4th visit since 2016 (every 3 years) and sadly probably our last as the grandchildren will have reached the age they no longer want these holidays but you never know. It is such a fantastic house for family holidays with all the nearby beach's and local pubs. The reason we first chose it was the safety aspects of it, no main road outside and no water hazards. Had some good BBQ's this year and a good pool tournament. Value for money for the whole family.

Derek

The cottage was spacious , clean and was well stocked in terms of equipment

Veronica

We throughly enjoyed our wk at Cross Cottage, facilities were very good and lovely gardens.

Gillia

Stayed at Stone Cottage for 10 in St Issey for Christmas with my family. We had a perfect stay and created many memories, especially in the games room with the table tennis. Great house for a large get together, plenty of space so not feeling on top of one another. Comfortable beds and very well equipped kitchen, the whole house was warm and cosy. Great location. A fabulous stay.

Kenneth

The house was perfect for a fun family holiday

Lisa

The cottage was beautiful and the well kept gardens. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms all to a very high standard. Wifi was hit and miss, plenty of kitchen equipment i.e. pots, pans, cutlery. The most used room i would say was the games room it was loved by us adults and my 4 grandchildren!! Lots of fridge and freezer space too, very helpful have the extra fridge. 10/10 outstanding!

Sarah

This is a beautiful big house that will accommodate large families, without ever feeling on top of each other. The furnishings are dated, but in theme with the house in general. The beds are extremely comfortable, three bathrooms and two living areas, albeit we only used one. The WiFi is hit and miss

Sabina

Perfect house for a large group, lovely large dining room can seat 10, beautiful gardens all around, and we all loved the table tennis!

Paul
