Ideal cottage in an ideal location

My husband and I stayed at Matthew's cottage for a little over two weeks and it was perfect! Very comfortable rooms, good kitchen (we made our own dinner on a few occasions), dishwasher, washing machine...most of the comforts of home but in an idyllic location of rolling hills and hidden coves. Close to great seaside towns and beautiful hiking by paths. We miss it and can't recommend it highly enough!

Lovely property, great views , just didn’t have the weather to enjoy it to its credit. Would be superb in good weather. But the property was very warm and welcoming to come home too after a breezy wet day.

Lovely property and lovely family

We stayed for a week and couldn’t have been happier. Although slightly dated furniture wise it is all clean and good condition, it is a beautiful property in a fantastic location. The Gilham family were really nice helpful people who had lots of info of local places to visit. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you for making myself and family feel so welcomed .

Matthew was a great host. Cottage was perfect, location & wifi amazing, would definitely recommend.

Stayed in the cottage Feb 2023 with husband and teenage son, he was thrilled that the WiFi worked amazing! Location of cottage was perfect for beautiful local walks, Polruan, Fowey, Looe and Polperro all within few minutes drive. The cottage itself was great with all appliances we needed. Matthew the host was there to greet us and at hand locally if ever needed. Would highly recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a quiet location with beautiful rolling hills scenery and sheep in the garden. Thank you Matthew and we look forward to staying again.

Great holiday

This is a lovely cottage with good size rooms and a comfortable bed. The kitchen has plenty of cutlery, pots and pans, crockery and glasses. It also has plenty of cupboard space for food, We had control of the heating thermostat so were always warm enough. Matthew was a great host. My husband and I are both disabled and Matthew offered to help with the luggage. He also helped get my wheelchair into the house to be charged as we couldn't managed due to the gravel path and back out the next morning. We had a problem with the power going off on the first evening and Matthew was round within a couple of minutes of my texting him. He arranged for an electrician to come and kept me informed when they were going into the cottage and what the outcome was. The electrician said that the dishwasher was faulty and Matthew went out the next morning to buy another one. I've never had a problem sorted as quickly in a holiday home as this one was. We just couldn't fault it. My husband thinks I should have given 10 stars out of five. I wish I could. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage.

Great holiday

Large,comfortable, well equipped cottage with beautiful views. Approximately 1 mile walk from the south west coast path and Lansallos beach which is a pretty and quiet little cove. The walks can be very strenuous if you're not used to the hills.Close to many attractions such as the eden project e also found some smaller places to visit such as Porfell rescue centre, Caŕnglaze caverns and Golitha falls. The cottage is also close to a "dark sky" area on Bodmin moor and if you're able to stay up late and have a clear night, the stars are absolutely amazing. Matthew and family incuding the dogs are very friendly and helpful .A lovely holiday.

Idyllic location

Best place we’ve stayed in Lansallos. More comfortable than nearby properties in the village itself. Position is exceptional in terms of privacy. Matthew is a great host and lets you get on with it - always courteous if he needs to access the gardens etc. He provides all you need to ensure your stay is as amenable as possible. He also orders the best weather imaginable for the location! Thank you for everything, Matthew - we will return again someday for sure .

Nurturing and peaceful.

We had a wonderful week at Matthew's place. It exceeded the description. It is clear, spacious, yet homely. The views are tremendous, overcto Bodmin moor. It is a great location, a few miles only from beautiful coast, and some great places on the moor. Stone circles, and the highest tea room in Cornwall. Loved it. Mattew was helpful , cheerful, and kind. The beds are super comfy. We will deffo be back !
