The cottage was pristinely clean and cosy. We probably had the best night sleep there lol.
I loved that radiators were large enough to kept the whole place nice & warm as we arrived in December.
We loved stocked up fridge with milk, butter, eggs & scones 殺 The little cottage had Christmas decorations too! Thank you so much to the owners
Perhaps, my only gripe was that the fridge was a bit small as we were self catering and dishwasher would be lovely too.
Other than that, we had marvelous time in Cornwall and we will sure be back this year.
I can't recommend enough this accommodation

Great find, will definitely be back to this cottage, central and easy access to a main road within easy reach of all of Cornwall. You even have use of the owners dog Buster, who calls round with his ball. As Arni would say. I’ll be back.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and well-appointed property which has everything we needed for our stay. The owners are very friendly, kind and provide a lovely welcome pack. The cottage is in a quiet, countryside location with great access to many popular visitor locations and provided us with a very tranquil base in which to relax and unwind after days out. We would recommend it to anyone!

The holiday cottage was beautiful and the owners Penny and Royston made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrive, we had the most amazing starter pack, everything you need when u have had a long journey,we had travelled on motorbikes so a much needed cream tea was appreciated Buster the dog was a lovely member of the family who called round every morning making us throw his ball for ten minutes,would also like to mention on our last evening at 6.30pm my partner noticed he had a nail in his back tyre, not good as we had 400miles to travel in the morning, Royston made a few phone calls to friends and my partner took his motorbike just a few miles down the road and had it repaired, so a big Thankyou to Royston and and the young man from Rapid Tyres.Will definitely be stopping there again .Beautiful cottage .

We enjoyed our Christmas stay at Little Willow, warm and cosy while the Weather was wet outside.
An excellent welcome pack, probably the best we have had in all of the places we have stayed over the years. Penny the owner was very nice and helpful, and was at hand nearby should she be needed.
Had most things for a comfortable stay, TV with Sky, video player, and a music centre, which was great as we brought our Christmas CD's with us. The property is tucked away up Country Lanes and you will need a car to visit the local area, but easy driving distance.
Our only other comment is that we found the Fridge with the small Icebox a bit small for us.
All in all though, a nice place and we would certainly recommend it.

The cottage was the best equipped we have been in. The owners were very welcoming and on hand if you required them. A fantastic welcome pack, again the best we have had. Location is ideal as you are pretty much within 45 mins of anywhere in Cornwall. We would certainly look to come back if we were in Cornwall again. Lastly a special mention for Buster the dog, what a character, make sure you put some time aside to play ball with him, he's a star. A great cottage and we had a great holiday. Many thanks Neil and Sharon.
