“We spent a week in the cottage which was very well equipped and comfortable.”

I enjoyed being able to see the sea and those wonderful sunsets from every window in the front! The location is great for people who enjoy being off the beaten track and there are many walks and beaches within easy reach.

“We had a wonderful stay at Jenny's Cottage on Calartha Farm.”

The setting is wonderful - remote and quiet but with easy access to the coastal path, Pendeen lighthouse, nearby tin mines, as well as towns such as St Ives, Newlyn / Penzanze. The cottage is perfectly well appointed and we had other family members in other cottages so it worked really well for a larger group also. Portheras Cove is a beautiful beach - well worth the 15 min walk down there from the parking spot or 20-30min walk straight from the farm. The wifi - not that we used it much - worked fine and 4G reception also fine. We will certainly be back. We had lovely chats with Ann who was telling us about the history of the farm and the area. Thank you Ann!

- Mr Bristow, July 2021

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Jenny's Cottage. The Owners don't usually encourage group bookings at the farm but it sounds like it worked well on this occasion. Owner relations

“A lovely setting with shops conveniently located nearby.”

Excellent contact with the owner. Very comfortable and we had all we needed.

“Jenny’s cottage is in the most beautiful location.”

The views from all windows are to die for. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage was generally well equipped. We had everything we needed for our holiday, plenty of hot water and the shower over the bath was not too bad. Parking is right outside and there are any number of walks in any direction from the doorstep. A few little niggles just took the edge off and this was regarding the wood burner which was so heavily sooted up on the doors that you literally couldn’t see the flames! I tried cleaning it which helped a bit, but not much but regular cleaning would have sorted this. The downstairs bathroom proved to be a pain, despite us knowing about this beforehand. Lastly the cobwebs need dealing with, there are a lot! However if you want character, idyllic location and a genuine 400 year old cottage you will love this place.

“Everything was as listed in the description sweet little cottage very authentic but with modern amenities”

“It was dirty.”

Had to wash everything up and clean fridge before use. Cups etc stuck to shelves. Hair in cups. Cobwebs everywhere. Litter under bed. Nothing to clean with apart from washing up liquid. This is bad anyway, let alone under pandemic circumstances. Made owner aware by email, privately as didn't want to leave a review. She apologised then I asked for local info as there wasn't anything offered previously. She ignored this. We met her as we were leaving and she shouted and was very aggressive about us complaining. Very nasty unreasonable woman. Said she didn't believe me (after apologising via email) I asked her name as she hadn't introduced herself, said she was the owner, asked if we were ok and had enjoyed our stay, nothing, just attacked us. She didn't stop so we just drove off. She spoilt the last day of our holiday as we were so shook up by her abuse. She shouldn't be running a holiday home if she can't keep it clean (and safe during pandemic circumstances) or accept feedback when things aren't good enough.

- Miss Robinson, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. As you’ll see to date, comments on the property, cleanliness and the owners have been complimentary so far and yours is the first which isn’t so. We’ve spoken to the owners who dispute your statement on cleanliness and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified. Their cleaner attended the property and spent many hours preparing the property for your arrival in the usual way. We are sorry that you had a disagreement with the owner upon your departure, we understand that you had overstayed on the final morning and the owner was merely anxious to begin preparing the cottage for the next set of guests. The owners take their letting of Jenny’s Cottage very seriously and they pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences – this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.

“Jenny's Cottage is a charming cottage for two in a beautiful, quiet location with wonderful views to the sea.”

Great area for walking the coastal path and still relatively unspoiled compared to much of Cornwall. It was very clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped. Full of character with a big inglenook in the living room and a large, light filled bedroom with a comfortable bed. Would definitely return again in the future

Mr Tompsett September 2019

“Perfect for what we wanted - near the village, the coast path and a bus route”

“Lovely location, warm and accessible.”

Have stayed here before and will again!

“Nice cottage welcoming host,( especially tea and biscuits) and everything clean( except cobwebs!”

) and in working order. Having only 2 of everything was sometimes difficult and a few more plates and bowls would be helpful. I found the narrow staircase and downstairs bathroom a bit of a challenge during the night and did not realise this from description. Good peaceful location with a chaffinch singing for you! Good place to relax but close to good shop , lovely walks and things to do. Very friendly village.

- Mrs Hollick, June 2019
Mr Grooms June 2019

“Cottage was very cosy and had a lot of character.”

The layout of the cottage consisted of a narrow kitchen with cooker, fridge and washing machine and adequate pots and pans. Adjacent to the kitchen was the bathroom with a first class shower over the bath. Then came the lounge which had a table and two chairs, and a two seater settee and matching arm chair. There was a wood burning stove. There was a nice TV but the remote unfortunately didn’t work during our visit though the owner made every effort to get it working. The bedroom was accessed by a narrow staircase and both my wife and myself found the bed very comfortable. The only drawback in our case was the great difficulty with parking a large car with a poor turning circle. Good practice though for Cornwall roads.

Mrs Howard May 2019

“We prefer an upstairs bathroom but we managed.”

Blind on the velux bedroom roof window would be good, very bright early morning sun. Cottage cosy and comfortable.

“Really enjoyed our stay at Jenny’s cottage.”

Great place to stay nice welcome on arrival. Very nice and clean facilities just a little pop round with a cobweb brush would have made it perfect.
