The Quillet

Superb location; accommodation is small but perfectly adequate for two and very well-equipped.

Fantastic scenery from the property and easy access to the sometimes strenuous coast path (4 hours to Zennor and 2 hours to Cape Cornwall). Large supermarkets in Penzance (20 minutes) but local shop very basic.

Lovely welcome from Mrs North.

Cosy and comfortable has amazing views. Had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

We love the area and have stayed in Quillet once before.

It's a private and peaceful place to stay with beautiful views of the sea and amazing sunsets. There was a lovely welcome tray awaiting us in the kitchen. Hope to return.

We always have a wonderful stay at the Quillet.

The views from the lounge are breathtaking, it's so peaceful. Can't wait to go back! Jane Parry

Lovely little cottage, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Got everything that you need.

A clean, well equipped property that provides comfortable accommodation.

Well placed to explore this lovely area with the SW Coastal Path just a short walk away.

This was our third stay at the Quillet and we’re already looking forward to booking our fourth!

There is everything you need for your stay, a lovely welcome pack is supplied, it’s peaceful and the views are wonderful, especially if you’re lucky enough to see the beautiful sunsets. The bus stop, local shop and pub are a 10 minute walk away and only a 20 minute walk or quick drive to Pendeen lighthouse. It’s a great base to explore the local area. Mrs North is a gem, doesn’t bother you but is there if you need anything. Only one let down was the bed which could do with the mattress replacing, but that is just our opinion and won’t put us off going back! Already counting the days to next year’s holiday!

Lovely peaceful stay.

Light-filled living room and well kept garden with gorgeous views are highlights.

Very friendly and helpful hosts.

The internet wasn’t working properly when we arrived but they worked hard to resolve it and by the middle of the week it was fixed. Really nice little place with a lovely garden and in a great location. We had a very good week walking bits of the coast path and hanging around in beautiful coves. Perfect house for us. Well equipped and very peaceful. Would definitely book again.

I've lost count of how many times we have stayed at Quillet.

We love it so much because it has the most beautiful sunsets, it's so peaceful and it's in a prime position to walk to stunning Portheras Cove if you go right at the lighthouse and the Tin Coast to Cape Cornwall in the other direction. And Mrs North always chats to us and makes sure we're okay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Quillet, it is in a unique and beautiful location.

The kitchen is fully equipped. The cottage is very quiet and private, the garden is stunning. Thanks to Ann for the very welcome Cornish tea and biscuits. Thanks to Jennie for local walks and swimming and tipsx

We holidayed here last year and booked again for this year before we left.

It was wonderful to be back but unfortunately, due to family bereavement, we had to leave on the Tuesday. We will definitely be booking for next year.

We had a lovely stay,so peaceful,lots around to visit,and good walks, Mrs North was very pleasant lady, greeted us on arrival,tea and biscuits appreciated after a long journey.

Would not hesitate to visit again thankyou.

We had a fabulous time at the Quillet lovely little property garden was lovely with beautiful views and secluded, we didn’t use our car at all fabulous walks and a great bus service,Mrs North was very friendly and welcoming.

We will be going back in the future

We found the quillet to be exactly as described.

It was easy to find. It had stunning views, good facilities and a lovely welcome pack. It was in a good location for sightseeing and amenities. The only problem being the bed, which was extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was really hard, ( suggest an mattress topper) also the knobs are loose on the wardrobe and kept coming off each time we opened the doors. But we would stay again. It also had a lovely secluded garden.

Gemütliches, kleines Cottage mit eigenem Garten.

Schön ruhig gelegen, mit großartigem Blick auf das Meer - die Sonnenuntergänge kann man direkt vom Esstisch aus sehen. Günstig gelegen für Ausflüge oder als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen auf dem Coastpath. Anne und ihre Söhne sind so freundlich und herzlich, wir haben uns sofort willkommen gefühlt. Danke für wunderbare zwei Wochen in Cornwall!

Everything was lovely apart from the bed this was really hard and uncomfortable

We were welcomed by the owner Mrs North who was very friendly.

The cottage was really clean, comfortable and well equipped and had a beautiful small garden with sea views. We had an excellent time there and would recommend it to everyone.

Very comfortable, well kept and very clean.

Appreciated the extras provided (welcome tray). Great location with views of the sea over the secluded private garden. The owner was very welcoming.

An enjoyable week at The Quillet.

Unfortunately the shower was very substandard.

Photo of inside the cottage is different to what it actually is Maintenance could be improved IE outside drain from kitchen overflows onto path , broken hinge in porch window broken , DVD player doesn’t work Storage heaters in lounge and bedroom very poor and complex controls for some people ,there is one portable heater in the lounge as a backup No conversation on arrival from the owner about points of interest in the area or nearest shops , no full freeview tv programming very few channels Nice views from lounge overall, cottage would benefit from updating

We booked the Quillet after reading the feedback and we’re so glad we did.

Mrs North is a delight and very helpful, the setting is beautiful, the cottage itself is clean, tidy and with the most wonderful views, we had a stunning sunset on our first night. We also appreciated the unexpected welcome pack of Cornish tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. The local shop, bus stop and pub are just a ten minute walk away, Pendeen lighthouse is a 15-20 minute walk, or a couple of minutes by car, where we spent an hour each teatime enjoying the views (with a pasty!). It’s a wonderful base to explore the local area by car, Penzance is lovely for a stroll and to buy anything you need, and if you want to visit Newlyn, park in Penzance and walk along the front, it’s that close. We enjoyed our holiday so much that we were only 4 days in when we booked next year’s stay!

The cottage is extremely well situated, near the coast with views of the sea, 10 minutes on foot from a village shop and bus routes to Land's End, St Ives, Penzance (so avoiding parking problems at these popular sites).

Although on a farm near other houses, the cottage and garden are not overlooked and feel nice and private. The owner was helpful and we had everything we needed for a very pleasant fortnight's stay.

There was no picture of the outside of the bungalow so wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a perfectly pleasant place to stay.

The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped but not over stuffed with extra mugs, glasses etc. Which left plenty of space for groceries. Plenty of hot water, shower was fine. The garden was secluded and the surrounding shrubs provided a wind break. The views and surrounding countryside were exceptional. The walk to the village was easy. The footpath to the beach was not for the faint hearted but we managed it and it was stunning and very clean. The mine museum closes on a Friday and Saturday. The host was very friendly. The local pub was pleasant, we didn't eat there but the beer was good. We would love to return soon.

The cottage had everything we needed and was good value for money.

We were very grateful for the additional electric heaters and blankets provided as the night storage heaters didn't provide enough warmth. It was a good base for birdwatching, beautiful scenery and looking at Ancient stones etc. It would have been useful to know which rubbish can be recycled as each county is different.

100% ideal - perfect!

! It was like home-from-home for us, cosy, comfortable and beautifully relaxing - cant wait to go back! We loved the farm bungalow setting with sea views and felt totally at home there...thank you!

I've lost count of the number of times we've stayed at the Quillet, it has all we need for our perfect holiday, waking up to a view of the sea, the Tin Coast and Portheras Cove within walking distance and guaranteed peace and tranquillity.

We've already booked for next year, thankyou for letting us share your corner of paradise, Mrs North! Jane Parry

Ideal if you want to get away from it all.

Need to be able to travel to sightsee. Property is clean and as description but perhaps a little dated.

Great location and lovely owner.

Good for walks along the coast and easy reach of food and shops; quiet too!

The cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped with a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits The location was very good with easy walking to a Spar, pub and the coastal path.

There was a regular bus to St Ives and Lands end. It did help that the weather was excellent for walking and the wild flowers were everywhere.

Better than what we thought it might be like ,great value.

Brilliant views from every window ,10/20 minutes walking to pendeen or coastal path .

Had a lovely five night break .

Clean comfortable bungalow in a quiet location with lovely views. Lovely coastal walks , Tregwainton gardens and St Michaels Mount close by , Nat Trust . Geevor Tin mine , and train from St Erth into St Ives all worth doing. Little garden at the back is a sun trap , and owners dogs and pony very friendly.

Excellent location for walking on the coast path and inland.

Cottage is well equipped and it was nice to have use of the secluded garden.

Cottage could do with updating, it looked a little tired.

Not a lot of instructions on how to work appliances.

Great location , amazing accommodation , lots of interesting places to visit close by

Easy to find, well located, great views, comfy place for two.

A dishwasher would have been a bonus but that’s just me being lazy!

Had a really great stay at the Quillet, the cottage was as expected, everything we needed, the surroundings and setting were beautiful, peaceful and quiet, not far to walk to the coast path and able to enjoy evenings watching the sun go down.

Would definitely return. A lovely touch by the owners leaving us complimentary Cornish shortbread biscuits for our arrival with some Cornish tea. Thank you.

Everything was perfect, the cottage was just perfect for my wife and I , not I grant you a penthouse apartment ,but perfect for us.

Location was again for us 10/10 and we will be going back again no question.Mrs North was the perfect host and was there if you needed anything.The farm itself was perfect bliss and right on the southwest coastal path. I don't like to go on about a place because if you do it's become's unavailable due to being fully booked so ignore my comments!

We have stayed at Quillet many times.

It's like our second home! I cry when I arrive and when it's time to go home! It's perfect - so quiet, so much light in the lounge, stunning views, only a 15 minute drive to 3 major supermarkets, a 30 minute walk to the breathtaking Portheras cove with its crashing waves and even when we had a power cut on the Thursday evening, Mrs North was straight on the phone to the electricity company and offered us candles! We have already booked again for later in the year Mrs J Parry

It was a perfect holiday cottage in these troubled times, everything you needed for a quiet getaway in a stunning part of the world.

Just what we needed, Thankyou.

The Quillet at Calartha Farm was just what we needed.

Extremely peaceful and quiet with fabulous views. Just perfect after the noise and bustle of London's Eastend. Just a 20 min drive from Sennen Cove Beach and not far from Penzance and all the big stores. Lovely countryside, great pub with restaurants, St Ives easily accessible, just park in St Erth station carpark and get the short hop train into St Ives, the beach beneath the station is great. Visit the Geevor mine and the Pendeen lighthouse. The Spar in Pendeen sells newspapers and stocks the essentials. Mrs North is lovely and very helpful and the walks along the coastal paths breathtaking. A lovely break.

Lovely cottage in Nice location near all sights and easy access to local amenities, shops in village for shopping and takeaways.

Owner wellcomed us and very helpful. Wellcome pack in cottage milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits and everything you need is in the well stocked kitchen. Garden lovely with views and neighbours in field next to cottage horse, cow and some rams. Recommended 100%

The bungalow was in a lovely setting although the the track to get to it is very bumpy.

The bungalow itself was clean and had everything you needed. Also if any one is nervous around dogs be aware the owner has 2 which like to run up to meet you. Mrs North was friendly and was there to meet us. The area around farm is stunning so much to see and do and the coast path very near by . The bungalows garden was lovely with it being a sun trap and with sea views . All in all a great holiday

We loved the peaceful setting and this part of Cornwall.

The Quillet was quite adequate and very much as expected but not exceptional. We enjoyed our holiday and staying at the Quillet very much.

It was our fourth stay in Quillet - we love everything about it, especially the location and the peace and tranquility.

We never want to come home

We had a lovely peaceful holiday in a bungalow on a diversified farm run by a lovely elderly lady who was very interesting to talk to in an area of outstanding coastline,how could we not have a great time?

.

Excellent location.

Always have relaxing holidays with Sykes at excellent value.

We were very happy to spend our holiday at the cottage.

It offered us the best of Cornwall.
