“Had the weather been better, the large very private deck would have been magnificent and certainly its best feature.”

We'll equipped and a shame we couldn't use. ...

We'll equipped and a shame we couldn't use. We'd been looking forward to the hot tub on arrival but were very disappointed that due to no electricity there were no bubbles and it was in fact a warm(ish) bath. Sari agreed when approached and said there were issues with electricity overload. The TV was disappointingly tiny, neither remote worked and we were stuck on one channel until managing to twiddle the tiny highly sensitive control on the back. This too was raised with Sari but never resolved. The owners were off site and communicated by email only for the first few days. The kettle lid wouldn't open, it wouldn't fill through the spout and despite being promised a replacement it didn't arrive during our stay. The cutlery wasn't particularly clean and needed a wash before use but no big deal. The shower head kept slipping down which was irritating but manageable. Sari queried if the shower door was loose and needed tightening but we said to review at changeover as we hadn't at that time noticed any shower issues. A square table instead of round may have helped with a lack of space and storage for our own food as there was no empty cupboard or shelf. The wardrobe was tiny too. We were glad of the electric heaters provided as it was a cold and wet week producing much condensation on the windows each morning. Also the throw on the bed. Beautiful setting and friendly owner and despite the issues we thoroughly enjoyed our return to Cornwall.

Sincerest apologies the weather wasn't great during your stay, unfortunately this is not something we can control. But so happy you appreciated the studio's well equipped private deck even though you were unable to use it regularly. I am afraid there is a bit of a misunderstanding regarding the hot tub. Our hot tub is a log fired hot tub, which is clear from the photos of the property and also in email correspondence there are two documents attached regarding the log fired hot tub and how to use it safely. Lights and bubbles are generally not a functionality you will find in a log fired hot tub. We do specifically ask guests what time they would like the hot tub ready for first use, so that we can ensure optimum temperature for the hours of intended use. We do also leave additional log wood, kindling and fire starters so guests can also continue to use the hot tub independently. The vast majority of guests love (and prefer) the experience of a log fired hot tub. The TV remote was giving trouble and I informed the guests before they arrived of this, and that the TV and channels could be controlled manually. We have since replaced the TV with a brand new one. We have also replaced the kettle and were unaware of any issues with it prior in regards the lid not opening easily. We appreciate you leaving feedback and all issues have been attended to.

“The cottage is so sweet, The photos don't do it justice of how much private space you have to enjoy outside.”

It is situated in a stunning natural setting. Very rural and private which is exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the privacy as we had eloped to get married in secret from Norfolk. The hot tub was waiting for us on arrival as requested. The hosts were very helpful dealing with emails and texts. Thank you. I only wish we could have stayed longer and taken advantage of the Yoga, facilities and reflection. Would definitely recommend.

“It was lovely and private.”

Ideal for a romantic getaway ☺️. The owners had got the hot tub ready for our arrival, and it was perfect. The only negative we found was the rules and regs for cleaning before we left and being out by 9.0clock spoilt it a little. It felt a little pressurised with the emails and the notice regarding the list of cleaning. However we do also understand some people would leave it in a mess. I think maybe just one notice about it would be sufficient. We would definitely recommend this holiday cottage though. It was all very well thought out. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Rohanna March 2022

“The place was lovely, perfect for a short getaway.”

Me and my partner found the room very cosy, and the log fire and fairy lights were a bonus! The hot tub, to our surprise, wasn't actually a hot tub, and took a very very long time to heat up. The property is a perfect location and close to the most amazing views and walks. Definitely would recommend

“We booked five elements at very last minute.”

3 hours before to be precise!! From the word go Sari our host was amazing. Within minutes of arriving we had all the information we needed. The room was welcoming and warm with fairy lights. Given it was such last minute everything was perfect and Sari had already got the hot tub going to get it nice and warm for us! We even had a little cornish hamper which was such a lovely touch! Any issues we had with heating up the tub Sari was on hand to get everything sorted for us and we couldn't have felt any more welcomed! We would highly recommend to anyone we know to stay here as it is the perfect little romantic escape and has everything you need. Plus a stones throw from St Agnes and Perranporth two very beautiful places! The property was spotless and had all the facilities including logs and firelighters for the log burner! We left there feeling super happy. Thank you so much

“We felt that while the surroundings were great and this was a good base to travel to other towns from, we were disappointed with the facilities at the studio.”

Despite our best efforts we couldn’t get the hot tub to heat up and when I tried to light the log fire it just filled the studio with thick oily smoke and we gave up on that as well. We appreciate that this is a studio accommodation but even so there was not enough storage for clothes. The kitchen and bathroom areas were fine and were clean and functional but a microwave would be a welcome addition for convenience. One final comment on the track that leads down to the parking area - there are so many potholes along it that we scraped the underside of the car every time we used it, and this definitely needs attention.

- Sarah, September 2021

We want all our Customers to enjoy their holiday and are on hand to help at any time. We weren’t contacted about any of the issues raised. We ask guests before they arrive to let us know when they would like to use the hot tub for the first time so we get the hot tub to temperature. The hot tub is insulated and has a cover that helps retain the temperature therefore the next next one wants to use it, it won’t take too long to light the log burner and get it to temperature once more. If the guests had let us know they were having difficulty we could have come to help. Regarding the inside log burner, this is the first time we have heard that guests have had issues regarding thick oily smoke. We will have the chimney swept. Many thanks for letting us know. Guests usually stay at Five Elements studio for one week, this is the first time we have heard that the wardrobe is insufficient to accommodation clothing. We will be supplying the studio with a microwave at our earliest convenience. Thanks for this feedback. There is a short section of road to Five Elements which is an unmade path. In the peak season it has gained a few potholes, which we will repair in off season. But this is the first time we have heard of guest scraping the underside of their car. It is an rural country lane and by reducing speed and going slow this can be avoided. Property Owner
Richard August 2021

“Very happy with accommodation.”

The owner Sari was on hand the answer a couple of very minor issues. We haven’t holidayed in Cornwall for a long time but are more than likely to seek out the availability of Five Elements should you choose Cornwall again.

“As there was nothing around we ate in quite a bit.”

Couldn't get takeaway as would be cold by the time got back so really missed a microwave. Missed the luxury of a dishwasher but understand limited space. I wasn't a fan of the log heated hot tub it took ages to get to temperature and used a bag of logs each time minimum. A lot of messing about. The 2 larger buildings behind housed a lot more people and could hear activity and music from gardens which made the hot tub area feel a lot less private even though you couldn't see anyone. The studio was basic but lovely. The hosts were really nice and helpful. Pub half hour walk Miners Arms food was good and staff really nice. Taxi ride from St Agnes was approx 10 pounds and to walk just over an hour. Beautiful scenery saw wild deer and the couple also lend their field to neighbours with Shetland ponies. We spent a day at paradise wildlife park which was good value and the wild parrots were amazing. Fresh eggs available to buy on the grounds.

“The studio is so beautiful and the gardens are perfect for bringing along a dog, plenty of space to keep them entertained.”

Sari and Oli were very friendly and helpful too.

Catherine April 2021

“We had an incredibly relaxing stay at the Five Elements Studio.”

The location is really peaceful: the deck was a wonderful spot to light a fire and watch the sun set, and the wood-fired hot tub was a real bonus, in a lovely setting. The studio itself is spotless, comfortable, homely and warm, although we didn’t spend much time indoors as we were lucky enough to have some amazing weather! Sari was fantastic and helpful, and provided a top up of wood. We hired electric mountain bikes from the nearby Coastal Trail Cycle Hire and James kindly delivered and collected them from the property - Perranporth was only 20 mins away, and local pubs around 10 mins cycle - well worth doing if you fancied an afternoon at The Watering Hole! All in all we had the best time staying at The Studio and would love to return one day

“When we arrived we noticed that there was a hot tub at the property, it had clearly been used by previous guests as it was still wet inside.”

The previous two parties had written in the guest book to how lovely it was in the hot tub. However when we contacted the owner about using it, we were told it would be an extra £40 to set it up. We agreed to this so that it could ready for the next day only to be let down and told that we couldn't use it due to not having insurance in place. This didn't seem to be a problem for the previous people to use it. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay and great for our dog, although it should state that there is no WiFi as there is no signal at all.

- George, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We’re so pleased that you found The Studio such a lovely place to stay and that it was very dog friendly. We’re very sorry to hear you were disappointed about the hot tub, however the property isn’t advertised as having a hot tub and it wasn’t included in the cost of your holiday. At the time of your stay we were in the final stages of installing a hot tub for future guests, as we think this will be a great addition. The guest book comments you mentioned were added by family who had stayed at the property the previous week and had tested the hot tub during their stay, but it wasn’t yet available for our guests. We do hope that you had a fantastic holiday and we would love to welcome you back to Five Elements in the future Property Owner

“The listing was very detailed and accurate.”

The Studio is a lovely peaceful and tranquil hideaway perfect for getting away from it all. The Studio was very private but Sari and Oli were on hand if we needed anything and were so happy to help. Great hosts. Can’t wait to go back.

“An idyllic setting.”

Deep in the countryside, and apart from the dawn chorus, peace perfect peace. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place, and yet it is so close to all of the interesting and tourist places that you might want to visit while in the country. Would recommend to anyone, and will hopefully return in the not too distant future.

- Stephen, April 2019
Philip February 2019

“Quite a quirky place but very remote.”

Excellent place for a romantic escape but you need to be good with steps . Saw a deer of sorts in the back garden. I emagine The decking at the rear would be superb in the summer evenings. The wardrobe is kiddy size so don’t bring a lot with you Cheers

Hannah October 2018

“Stayed here twice now.”

... Was worried about returning but the owners had only improved the studio and area and it was a very relaxing and peaceful break away perfect for our four legged member of family....

M September 2018

“Sari and Oli extremely helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble .”

Carried our luggage to the cottage as there were several steps to negotiate. Beautiful surroundings, quiet and peaceful and very well equipped spotlessly clean and comfortable, the perfect place to relax. Would not in my opinion be suitable for people who are wheelchair bound due to access, otherwise could not fault it. Will certainly be back in the spring.
