“This is a lovely little cottage in a good location.”

However it should be pointed out that it is really not suitable for arthritic pensioners, as the stairs are steep and uneven. Parking anywhere near the cottage is a nightmare. The roads there are very narrow and there are double yellow lines and other restrictions ( a school ) nearby. As the information and pictures for this property were obviously written/taken some years ago, perhaps it is now time for an update.

“Great location, clean, and comfortable beds.”

It’s obvious this place is remotely managed with owners not taking any interest. The cottage is tired, in need of a good decorate and updating. The pictures and decorations look like they came out of a second hand shop - some while ago! The photo in the ad must have been taken several years ago as there is now a 3m palm tree in the front garden. The front garden is badly neglected, full of weeds and overgrown - not an inviting start. The back courtyard was grubby with old furniture and mould growing on the walls. So much more could be made of this space, as it was, it wasn’t an inviting place to sit. It felt very much as if this was simply a money making investment by the owners, that they didn’t really care about their customer’s’ experience.

Thank you for raising these points. We are sorry to read your impression of Redinnick Cottage, we take care of our property and can assure you that we do our best to ensure that all our guests enjoy their stay. This is a 19th Century Fisherman's cottage, presented in a vintage style, which has been furnished and appointed with careful thought and local themes in mind. It may not be to your taste. The front garden is fully planted with plants (not weeds) and an attractive palm tree, these are fast growing in this area. With regard to the courtyard at the back of the property, as we are in Cornwall, a couple of minutes from the sea, nature can be harsh and energetic; there is some moss on the walls, which grows quickly in this environment. These conditions also cause outdoor furniture to become weathered fairly rapidly, however, it is sturdy and secure. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant that works to freshen up the courtyard had to be delayed and we are sorry you found this to be an issue. Notwithstanding, we hope that you enjoyed your stay.

“A few little niggles .”

.... 1) The back door key broke on our first evening and we couldn't get hold of the caretaker. I left voicemails and we just used the bolt to secure the door. I messaged her again the following day, she responded that the signal was bad in Cornwall and best to use landline (we didn't have that!) and she would get maintenance onto it. We just used the bolt for the next three days. 2) The plug on the very pretty microwave doesn't sit flush to the socket hence unusable. 3) Two front door keys would be appreciated. But overall a lovely comfy place, well situated and we had a fabulous break.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback following your short break at Redinnick Cottage. We are sorry that you experienced an issue with the back-door key. We arranged for the lock to be repaired as soon as possible, bearing in mind it was over the weekend. There are two further locked doors across the high walled backyard to the outside, so the property would not have been unsafe at any point. Due to the poor mobile signal in many local areas, we do provide you with both the caretaker’s landline and mobile numbers, prior to your arrival and in the Instruction Booklet at the cottage. We have checked the microwave and are unable to find a problem with it. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your break. Owner relations

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.

Note: The stable door to the courtyard has a low head height of 5'6".
Note: Open fire place in sitting not operational.
