“Lovely accommodation which exceeded our expectations.”

Our host, Melanie, also added some thoughtful extra touches and was very helpful in answering any questions we had about the area. We had a lovely holiday and I would thoroughly recommend this property.

- Heather, June 2022

Hi Heather I just wanted to say thank you for your super feedback and I am really glad that you all enjoyed your stay with us while you revisited some favourites and discovered new ones too. We were in your part of the world at the weekend and it was beautiful from start to finish.We are both lucky to live in quite special parts of England and you know where we are if you decide to stray this way in the future. Thank you again for staying at Little Westwards,Kindest Melanie . Property Owner
Catherine May 2022

“We had a great stay.”

It's a small property, but has everything you need and the owners are really helpful; on hand if you need them, but not if you don't! Many lovely 'extras' provided and quality bedding, sheets etc. The listing called the property an apartment, which was confusing, but we rang to query this as we wanted a cottage not an apartment (which we thought of as wholly contained within another building). It turned out it is really a separate,self-contained, semi-detached part of the owners' home. Unless I had queried this, we probably would not have booked the property, which would have been a shame. The comfort score is only a '4' because the beds were rather too firm for me (issues with my back). If you like a firm mattress, this is no problem at all. One other comment; there was milk, tea and coffee when we arrived and a lovely bottle of wine, but a small loaf and some butter would have helped as we had to pop out for that as soon as we arrived. (This has been pretty common in other cottages we have stayed in). However, we were sent a list of what would be in the welcome pack, so we should have realised!

- Catherine, May 2022

Hi Catherine Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed revisiting this part of Cornwall. I`m sorry that you found the beds a bit firm -its such a difficult one to get right as too soft can be equally uncomfortable. The description of the property is designed to get across that it is not a stand alone cottage and I have stated that it is independent of the main house, but will take a look and see if I can tweak this further. I hope you enjoyed Wells on your journey home, Kind regards Melanie Property Owner
Ron May 2022

“The holiday property was very clean,well stocked everything you could need.”

The owners were very helpful with information. We could not have asked for a better place to have stayed.

- Ron, May 2022

Dear Ron Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.It was a pleasure to meet you and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the mixed weather and your long journey.Hopefully you will be able to spend some time in your garden and caravan over the summer and we send our best wishes, Kindest Melanie.

Julie May 2022

“Fabulous property and location , clean , comfortable and everything catered for ...”

Fabulous property and location , clean , comfortable and everything catered for , my only reservation was the outside area which I think was lacking something more relaxing like reclining chairs or sunlounger as the area is gravel it’s not the most relaxing place but this aside it’s a great property and lovely hosts

- Julie, May 2022

Hi Julie So glad you enjoyed the property. Although your immediate space is gravel and patio all guests are invited to make use of the lawn in front of the house too and I do have 2 x sun loungers on order to put in the private space along with the outdoor rugs we have just added. All the chairs do have cushions and benches also have bench cushions so hopefully the sun loungers will help future guests enjoy the outside space even more . Kind regards Melanie Property Owner
Linda April 2022

“My Cousin and I stayed at Little Westards for a week, from the 22nd to the 29th of April and it was extremely excellent.”

From the moment we arrived and found a gorgeous welcome pack and card, to flowers in all the rooms, the place was absolutely spotless, home from home. I have never stayed in such a place that has thought of everything, so many wonderful little touches, it was fabulous. We are both in our 70s and have had many holidays with our late husband's but none compared to this for cleanliness and having everything we needed from day one. I myself have stayed in many Villas abroad but this even beats them. Thank you Melanie for everything, it's a credit to you. Kind Regards Linda Stephens

“Just spent a week at Little Westwards from 8th -15th.”

We were 2 couples and a 1 dog. We were all extremely please with the accomodation from the welcome beer, wine and biscuits to the lovely cotton bedding. The location is perfect with any sights within a short distance. We also found some lovely walks direct from the apartment. We would have no hesitation in recommending Little Westwards and will certainly return.

Kirstin May 2021

“Absolutely perfect location for us in a quiet spot, but with amenities within walking distance and a great base to explore from.”

Melanie gave us excellent recommendations of places to visit, vegetarian eateries and local dog friendly spots. The kitchen was well stocked, the accommodation comfortable (with the biggest bed I've ever stayed in!), the garden was secure for our dog, easy parking and the welcome hamper was a wonderful treat too... What more could you ask for! A dream stay (even in the pouring rain!) - thank you!

- Kirstin, May 2021

“Our stay in Little Westwards was wonderful: the accommodation was spotless, inside and out, and everything very well appointed for a comfortable stay.”

Bronwen October 2020

“Guests are welcomed with a generous welcome hamper, including treats for any pets that are in tow.”

Little Westwards is in a perfect location fo exploring the many highlights of the area on the North and South coast and The Lizard. It feels considerably more relaxing when the day trips are close to base. There are many walking paths in the area and the coast path very close. We want to thank the hosts for their generosity and being so very helpful and welcoming.

- Bronwen, October 2020
Paul October 2020

“We arrived at Little Westwards for the start of our Holiday we were greeted with the beautiful Welcome pack much so appreciated Flowers through out the accommodation.”

Well what can we add that's not already been said other reviews we found Little Westwards "" top notch "" outstanding accommodation throughout. Location for us was ideal walks rambles to coast for the fitest from Little Westards Gardens and main places to explore we crammed a lot into our hols. We would defentatley recommend to family /friends this accommodation and we hopefully stay Again the future. We could fault this accommodation. Please ignore negative reviews its homely every home comforts Well Done to Mel and Family.

Keith September 2020

“This is a pleasant 'cottage' in a good situation.”

The owners, who are on-site, left fresh flowers and a generous welcome package which we appreciated. While the accommodation as a whole was spacious and generally comfortable we found the main bed quite hard (as reported by a previous guest) and the heating (three completely different and individually set electric radiators plus two towel rails) a bit of a nuisance to get right during warm days and chilly mornings and evenings. It was also unfortunate that there were problems with the TV when we first arrived and although the owners were prompt to try to rectify that we found the process for finding and selecting programmes a bit long winded compared with just turning on and entering a channel number. China, cookware and kitchen tools were adequate but all the glasses were large, a set of small tumblers would be a good addition. These weren't big problems but just a bit irritating.

- Keith, September 2020
Mark September 2020

“Once you enter this accommodation it becomes apparent how homely it is.”

The care and attention given is outstanding. The welcome pack is very helpful along with the beautiful flowers placed around the accommodation is a lovely touch. It is very well equipped for your every day needs. All correspondence with Mel and Claire was very helpful and comforting especially as we were traveling a distance. They were on hand if you needed help or further advice on the area for places to visit and eat out. Our stay between 11th -18th September 2020 was a very relaxing experience, a bonus as the weather was superb. We would highly recommend Little Westwards as a base for your holiday.

- Mark, September 2020
John September 2020

“The apartment was very very good it had everything you could require, seating was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could need.”

We had a dog and the closed courtyard was just what we needed, Goldsithney is in an excellent area and in a lovely village with two pubs. The only downside was the beds were a little hard for my liking but the Holliday was still brilliant.

- John, September 2020
Daniel August 2020

“Loved our week in Little Westwards, owners Melanie and family were really welcoming , and the welcome pack at the property was fantastic, bottle of wine, fudge and lots more.”

Melanie was super helpful with letting us know when markets ect were taking place locally. Great location to explore the south west of cornwall, beautiful beaches. Everything you need at the property iron hairdryer, even comfy cushions for the outside seating. Many thanks for a great holiday

- Daniel, August 2020
Sean July 2020

“We had a great week at Little Westwards.”

The apartment was lovely and all the fixtures and furniture were of a very high standard and Everywhere was spotless clean. The bed in the main bedroom was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Melanie the owner was very welcoming and was always on hand for advice on where to visit and any other information you might need. The welcome treats for us and our dog on arrival were especially appreciated after a long journey. The gated garden area was ideal so the dog could have freedom to roam the property both inside and out. I would definitely return to Little Westwards in the future

Kelly August 2019

“Little westwards was an amazing place to stay it was so clean had everything we needed and more.”

We requested a cot for our 3 month old and Melanie sent a picture to make sure it was okay. The information we received with directions and instructions was so helpful and very welcomed after a long drive. There was ample space for parking, very secure and also just a lovely place to stay. There were welcome goodies for us and also the dog. Milk was put in the fridge so that we could have a cup of tea. This was our first family holiday with our little boy and it didn’t disappoint not only was the place lovely but it was extremely close to all attractions and walking distance to a lovely pub the trevelyn which was exceptional following a recommendation from Melanie. She was able to tell us where to eat where to visit and also offered to help with anything we needed. Melanie, Mel and Lugo were fab and very friendly and I cannot wait to stay again. Can not recommend little westwards enough. Above and beyond well worth a stay. Xx

Maurice July 2019

“A truly fantastic stay, the hosts were absolutely wonderful and their welcome fantastic, evenue the dog, (Lugo) was so friendly.”

Just one tiny thing, the shower screen rubber seal needs replacing as the floor gets wet when taking a shower.

- Maurice, July 2019
Patrick June 2019

“Melanie’s holiday bungalow was ideal for our holiday.”

There is room for the dog outside and he was made very welcome. The location is perfect for exploring west Cornwall. The owners were both helpful, welcoming and friendly. And even little touches such as welcoming gifts for both us and our dog, made the stay special. Couldn’t fault the accommodation. Would highly recommend.

- Patrick, June 2019

Christine May 2019

“We have visited a number of places all over the country and stayed in some lovely properties.”

Little Westwards is truly one of the best we have stayed in. The owners have worked hard to ensure everything is provided for and offer the warmest of welcomes for two and four legged guests. The personal touches make all the difference. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

- Christine, May 2019
Tim May 2019

“I would like to say that the owners Mel & Mel (yes that's not a typo!”

) were fantastic people who welcomed us warmly on our arrival. Both genuine friendly hosts. The accommodation, well where to begin? Faultless in every aspect from layout,decor and presentation. Cleanliness was 10/10 and you wanted for nothing. There was flowers, wine and welcome gifts on arrival, all beyond expectations. Even Ronnie our Border Terrier had a welcome toy and treats.The wife and I will definitely be looking to return in the near future. We genuinely have racked our brains to find any negatives, but to no avail. Fantastic location for dog walks and dog friendly pubs. Superb 10 star!!! Tim,Karen & Ronnie will see you soon x

Jacky April 2019

“Owners, Melanie and family were once again very welcoming.”

(It was our second stay with them.) They accommodated my elderly mother (92) by putting in a high-backed firm chair for her (as the main sofa is soft and squishy for relaxing in). Lots of lovely welcome gifts for us and dog. Very helpful with advice about area. I could see where they had made improvements from a few moths ago, e.g. new oven, radiator, door lock, dog bed and even ordered a coffee maker after I enquired if there was one there. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are keen to do their best to make you comfortable and have a great time. Cottage is well appointed and garden is secure for your dog. Comprehensive information pack in cottage on places to visit and eat at, walks, and manuals for equipment, e.g. new radiator. Only did small smile for comfort as my husband and I had a little back ache in the regular double bed, but that's probably just us! My mum was very comfortable in the big bed. Otherwise, very comfortable in the cottage, with everything you need. My husband liked the little touches like Arran Aromatics hand soap and moisturiser in the bathrooms. Great base for local area, super quiet village with local walks and lots of places nearby to visit, e.g. gardens, walks, restaurants. So many places are dog-friendly too, including Seal Sanctuary at Gweek. We can't wait to come back again!

Karen March 2019

“Our week in Cornwall was wonderful, it was made extra special by the welcome we had from Melanie and her family to this exceptional property, including Milo our dog.”

The property itself is immaculate you really couldn't want for anything. We went to so many places in our week at Little Westwards from Lands End to St Ives all within easy reach. So impressed we have already booked again. Thank you

Warm welcome ( including Ludo) very comfortable accommodation and very well equipped. Placed in a very beautiful part of England with plenty to see and do. I would recommend this property to anyone. I would give this property, if I could, 6 out of five stars.

Colin September 2018

“Little Westwards provides a very comfortable, well equipped, base for a holiday in this part of Cornwall.”

The property has everything that a holiday home should have and more; the level of comfort, on many different levels, was outstanding.

- Colin, September 2018
Paul August 2018

“We absolutely loved Little Westwards.”

It was extremely clean and very homely. It was extremely well equipped and the spec was very high. The beds were so comfortable - to the extent that my daughter made me ask the owner where we could buy the mattresses from!!! The location itself was very quiet, could even hear the owls hooting. It was a very short drive from Marazion and St. Michael's Mount, and easily within reach were Penzance, St Ives, Falmouth and Lands End (amongst others). Would highly recommend this place to anyone. It's also on a single level so would be ideal for anyone who has issues climbing stairs. Also very dog friendly, to the degree that they left dog treats and dog bowls and bed for use. They also left milk, wine and biscuits for when we arrived. Loved it.

About the location

GOLDSITHNEY

Marazion 1.5 miles; Penzance 4 miles; Helston 11 miles.

A typically Cornish country village with picturesque houses, shops and village pubs, Goldsithney is set back from the coast, thus escaping the main tourist rush, yet lying close to all the main attractions. Dominating the area and just 2 miles away is the off shore island castle of St Michael's Mount - reaching it via the causeway when the tide is out is a must. Right on the doorstep there are fabulous beaches, the coastal path (winding its way over the cliff tops) and plenty of sailing and fishing. Visit Penzance, with its slightly bohemian air, the cliff-top theatre at Minack or the stunningly beautiful fishing villages of Marazion and Mousehole - a superb base for exploring beautiful Cornwall.
