“We loved the position of the cottage , the river running by , the swans , the quaintness of Penryn .”

...We thought the accommodation was very well equipped. Lots of thought had gone into Covid 19 with prior emails etc . The Famous Barrel pub was a stones throw away , the Mariners fish and chip bar a few minutes away.

“The shower in the en-suite was, at times, hit and miss to get hot water.”

It would be beneficial if the hand held shower over the bath, could have a bracket to affix it to the wall, and either a shower curtain or screen. I had read from previous reviews that parking was tight, which it was, although I appreciate that you cannot control where other drivers park. The welcome pack was much appreciated. All in all, we had a nice few days away. .

“If a family has 2 or more vehicles then they will have to endure the Falmouth curse of finding an alternative parking space nearby due to the location of this cottage being within its own quaint setting.”

However the allocated space is fine for one vehicle and the little welcome pack was a nice touch.Looking forward to our next visit in October staying in Flushing at Puffin Cottage.

“We have just spent a wonderful week in the cottage.”

It was perfectly located to explore Penryn, Falmouth and the Helford River. The house had everything we needed, the welcome biscuits, milk and chilled bottle of wine were a lovely touch. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The house was lovely and clean when we arrived. Parking was actually fine, we have a large car and had no problem getting in and out of the space. The only thing worth mentioning is the noise from the pub across the river on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night but it was all stopped by 11.30pm and the children slept through it and was nothing more than chatter and laughter from the beer garden. We wouldn't hesitate to re-book 5 Summer Court and recommend to anyone looking for a base to explore the area.

“Positive: Great location, warm and safe environment.”

Great local shops and takeaway restaurant options. Sights and sounds of Cornwall in easy reach. Improvement: Some fittings in the bathrooms are mouldy and rusted and need replacing. The chairs and sofa both need replacing as the cushions are not supportive.Plug sockets in living room are in strange positions. Extension cables would be useful.

“Excellent holiday home!”

Absolutely loved this cute little house. Perfect location and perfect sized house for what we needed and really reasonably priced! I would totally recommend!!! Family of 5 made up of grandparents, mother and 2 teenage daughters. I cooked a family dinner most nights, (including a roast dinner) very comfortably in the little kitchen. But there were plenty of places nearby that we could have gone out to eat. Falmouth was very easy to get too either by car, bus or train (if you don't mind walking up a steep hill to get to the train station!) Lots of lovely places to visit in Cornwall - so many places-not enough time. Highly recommend! We will definitely be going back again!

About the location

PENRYN

Falmouth 1 mile; Truro 9 miles.

One of the oldest market towns in Cornwall, the pretty port of Penryn boasts a wealth of historic architecture and harbour heritage with attractive granite buildings steeply sloping along the cobbled streets down to the sea. There’s a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs in the town, along with a museum offering free entry, and the tranquil Enys Gardens on the outskirts of the town, providing a range of grounds and a peaceful haven. Further along the Penryn River, just one mile towards the sea you’ll find the famous seaport of Falmouth, with a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries offering spectacular views, stunning Blue Flag beaches and a bustling town centre. Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, superb set gazing out to sea. You don’t have to venture far from Penryn to discover Cornwall’s many sights, delights and stunning coastline, and this is the perfect character base from which to see it all.
