Mollys Cottage

Just had a great week in St Just Cornwall staying at mollys cottage the cottage is clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen the welcome pack was very much appreciated thank you.

This is the second time staying at mollys cottage it is so well situated the town is just a short walk away where there are places to eat and shops you can walk from your doorstep to cop valley and Cape Cornwall. The buses from St Just are regular and you can get about very easily we had a lovely stay

Key box v difficult to open on arrival cottage clean and warm but needs money spending on it If this was the 1st time I had booked with you I wouldn't be using your company again Settee was old and uncomfortable Tub chair back leg needs fixing Twice on sitting down chair went back on me Had to prop chair up with books to stop this happening This was reported in a review 2 years ago and hadn't been fixed!

Carpet worn and dirty Stair carpet had holes and gaps in it Wouldn't take a huge amount of money to sort this place and make it more comfortable

We loved our stay.

Thank you. Only marked it down on comfort as didn't find the Sofa and chairs very comfortable. Also the bed was rather low and a bit hard for us. We are an older couple ! We loved the cottage feel and it reminded me of my Nan's house when I was a child. Although a small street with on road parking and lots of cars we always managed to get parked. Lovely being 5mins walk to the town centre. A lovely week.

Very clean on arrival Nice welcome basket Quite location What let's the property down is the overall condition/comfort.

The hallway/lounge/dining roomcarpet is old wrinkled. Sofa and tub chair dated and uncomfortable. Stairs banister comes away from the wall at the top of the stairs The self the microwave was on came away from the wall. There was a musty smell when entering the property, this was localised to the hall way, maybe a damp issue We would not put our coats on the hooks under the stairs, same over powering musty smell. Wallpaper in the bathroom staring to come off the wall at the joins. Suprised this is 3 star accom, do you not check the properties??? Disappointed with this accommodation.

Lovely cosy traditional Cornish cottage on a quiet street near the coast path.

A lovely cottage in the perfect location for exploring Cot Valley, walking the coastal path or swimming in Port Nanven.

About 7-10 minutes walk up to St. Just for shops, cafes, pubs and the Kurt Jackson Foundation Gallery. The cottage is very clean and cosy, with a well equipped kitchen, the hamper was truly excellent, lovely Cornish food and drink. It can sometimes be tricky to park directly outside but we just unloaded and put the car in the car park, which is free and 5-7 mins walk away, so no problem at all. There's a local library next to the car park with very helpful and friendly staff where we got a small booklet, "A Well Walk in St Just", by Rory Te' Tigo. This took us on a lovely walk through the beautiful landscape of Cot Valley, with stories and historical information, which we really enjoyed. Would happily go back to Molly's Cottage.

Thanks for making our holiday perfect.

Thanks 4 the big welcome basket, still enjoying it. Very good location, 5 minute walk to everything und need or want. Would we come again, yes !!!

A cosy cottage in an excellent location slightly let down by parking issues.

...had to leave car quarter of mile from property as nothing available nearby

Stair rail loose at the top of the stairs.

Everywhere else was lovely.

Lovely little cottage and reasonably priced

We absolutely loved the cottage and the stay in St Just was amazing.

The only issue was the mattress in double bed quite thin and not very comfortable. Put a very comfortable stay otherwise!! We loved the peace and quiet and always found a place to park. We were left a box of goodies which on arrival was very welcome. Thank you so much.

The property is on a very narrow small road and hardly any parking available.

The road to the property is nearly in accesable especially if anything stops. The house is very dated, all the equipment, furniture and floor coverings. The shower is not sealed properly it drips into the front room onto the sofa when using it. Overall it is in need of money spending on it.

a cozy cottage in a good location, perfect for excursions and hikes on the south west coast path.

Finding the switches for the hot water was a bit confusing at first, especially for hot water in the kitchen. In the living room we would have liked a small table lamp for cozy evenings on the sofa and a small table to put down a drink. A notice for parking cars would also be good. We parked one night in the public parking in the village center (about 7-8 minutes walk away). The other days we were lucky enough to get a space in the street.

Lovely and cosy, some really nice goodies too.

.. I love that end of town so good for trips down to the Cot Valley!

Cute little cottage.

A bit old fashioned, but we kind of liked that. Had no trouble parking right outside the house which seemed to be an issue for other guests. Very clean, and comfortable bed. The only complaint is the cold water pressure upstairs was pretty non existent - the hand held shower on the bath is more a prop than a useable shower! Still, overall a nice little base to explore the beautiful coastline. We walked to Bottallack (about 2 hours) and had lunch in an excellent pub, The Queen's Arms. Would also highly recommend The Star in St Just- great atmosphere, and the Chinese was excellent!

Cottage was dated, in desperate need of some upgrade, carpet's were threadbare, cobwebs everywhere, plug sockets all in the wrong place nothing functionable.

We've stayed in approximately 8/9 different places in St Just over 20 year's and this is by far the worst. We're here for another week but thank goodness we are staying in a lovely place for the 3rd time for our 2nd week.

Generally happy with our stay , could do with some TLC in places , but nothing that compromises your comfort or holiday, great location for visiting all the surrounding areas, pizza place in the village is highly recommended

the cottage was very clean well equipped nice area .

there was a problem with parking I had to bring my heavy suitcase from the bottom of the road and other items I'm 64 was very hard to do I'm only seven and half stone and on my own I was exhausted driving 6 hours to get to cottage didn't help having no parking space every day some onec took the parking space could never get my car outside had the same problem when I got ready to leave it needs addressing if you were disabled in any way it could be very difficult shame because its a lovley place but could not book it again due to this only parking

The house was tidy, clean and as advertised.

Good location in St Just with lots of pubs and a shop in walking distance. There was usually parking outside the house or if there wasn’t then the free town car park is just a few minutes away opposite the library which we didn’t mind parking on however this would probably be a bit of a pain if you had small children or had limited mobility. The house was comfortable with everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable. We did notice a damp patch on the carpet on arrival, I messaged the property owner directly but didn’t get a response. We assumed this was just due to cleaning but on our last evening noticed that there seemed to be a small leak from the bathroom. This appears to be the seal on the bath so probably needs looking in to and resealing.

The parking is an absolute nightmare and as such had a very negative effect on our holiday.

To have a 80% of a parking spot we had to be back in the property by 4.30 and daren’t go out again. The information states there is a large free car park in the town, some 10-15 minutes away BUT seems not to know that this car park is constantly full. We have friends in St. Just and they tell us some of this is due to people holidaying on the Scilly Isles park their cars in St. Just because it is free whilst the charges at the airport are very high. Also the narrow streets of the former miners cottages do not have on site parking, many of the roads have double yellow lines and so the residents also use this car park for overnight parking. The cottage itself was charming and furnished to a very good standard with good quality fittings but because of the parking difficulty we would not consider it again.

Cottage was lovely however with the housekeeping asking us to leave the cottage exactly how we found it ( including the stripping of the beds) we were very disappointed that we missed a whole day on arrival due to not checking in until 4pm and also the early check out.

As the property was tiny and after cleaning the place we found it hard to believe that it would take six hours to prepare it ready for the next guests. So yes very dissatisfied and on this basis would not recommend.

Car parking is a problem at Molly's cottage, could there be some way of leaving a couple of traffic cones in the house, then you can try to reserve the car space outside the cottage.

Everything else was very good, Nice quiet place the stay, and enjoy St Just, and the area.

Overall, cottage was pleasant and St Just was a nice little town with 4 pubs.

We particularly liked the Commercial which has a great beer garden. The listing stated it was “coastal” which is not entirely accurate, you can see the sea from the small bedroom but it’s 20 mins or so walk to a rocky beach. Parking a little difficult as very much first come first served and not many alternatives apart from the free car park 10 minutes walk away, fortunately got parked ok to unload and load. Some nice beaches in the area, recommend Carbis bay and Sennan Cove.

Shower hose needs to be detachable property smelt damp had to turn heaters on as clothes damp , the double bed needs replacing as the repair carried out we thought on several occasions the bed was going to collapse, finally some of the residents need to respect the parking arrangements I know its first come first served and that there is free parking in town ,but would they at lease leave room to off load load your car would be appreciated.

Finally we did enjoy our stay many thanks. Mark and Lynn.

Having no wifi was not an issue for me but for my husband who is not on a contract phone, he found it a bit hard because while out in Pubs, he finds it rude to be checking his tablet while in public.

I did have good phone reception throughout the property with Vodafone. The cottage was lovely, warm and dry after walking through sheets of rain around the scenic country side! We enjoyed our stay for this past week in your lovely cottage. Thank you.

Very clean and well equipped.

Conveniently situated as only short walk into town centre with amenities and to bus services. Mile walk to beech very picturesque and ideal location for series of short walks under 5 miles. Wi-Fi would enhance the cottage especially as phone coverage with some networks is variable at best and several attractions prefer online booking. Parking could be tricky but not an issue as near by car park was free.

We had great difficulty getting key out of key safe.

Plus the key to front door and the lock needs attention as sometimes works and other times very difficult to get access. Also the shower was either too hot or too cold. No wifi is a big disadvantage but luckily I have family in St. Just so was able to get access to the internet. Trouble with re-cycling as could not find the correct bin next to the car park. Please can you provide bags for recycling. However we did have a good time and despite the items mentioned the cottage suited us very well.

Parking was tricky, may want to warn other guests.

Everything else was wonderful.

Sea views from the cottage perfect location for exploring coast line

Molly's cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the Cornish coast.

Highly recommended!

Molly's Cottage is a small terraced old miners cottage within easy walking distance of the central square in St Just.

The cottage was sparklingly clean and warm and cosy. The lounge/diner is small but cosy. The TV is ridiculously small. The kitchen is compact but very well equipped - and the fridge is a fridge with an icebox (not a fridge freezer). The washing machine works well and there's both a line outside and an airer for when it rains. The yard at the back catches afternoon sun and has a picnic table. Both bedrooms are a good size with excellent storage space. The electric shower is good and the slightly shorter than normal length bath is deep. There is no wifi at Molly's Cottage, but we had an excellent 4G signal with Vodafone. We had a minor problem with the shower leaking, but house keeping resolved it on the same day that we reported it (and the lockbox for the keys meant that we didn't have to stay in for it to be fixed). Details on how to recycle do need to be updated on the house manual and both the kitchen and the bathroom would benefit from extractor fans - it was relatively warm and dry when we stayed, so opening a window wasn't a problem. Finally, the street is narrow and parking is difficult as there are more houses than parking spaces. We managed to park outside on Friday - handy for packing the car on Saturday morning, but you should expect to park your car in St Just's free car park.

Great location close to the town and local pubs and restaurants, and ideal for walking, lots to see and do.

a very quiet street and area. Parking can be a bit tight, but the main town car park is a short walk and is free, we found that there was a space out side the cottage which was free most of the time. We loved the place and will book again.

Emailed owner re parking .

.told out side front door. Lucky if you managed it during day as builders in adjoining cottages. Free cark quite near told 3 minute walk. Anyone with walking problems would find it hard as long slow hill. Would have liked bath or shower after travelling. No hot water until next morning as economy 7 heats overnight. Luke warm water then. Mixer on bath doesn't work. About 4inchs of water when bath run. Called person on cottage info , she arranged a plumber but that took a week. He adjusted some thing on hot water tank then wonderful hot water. Tv not reliable suggest ariel adjustment to pick up BBC. Upstairs bedrooms nice but living room could do with up date dark and gloomy. Having said this I would return in summer months not Sept/Oct.

The cottage was lovely and cosy, and the area was just perfect.

Lots of nice coastal walks nearby, however the lack of WiFi and with there being no signal in the property, this was a big disappointment. Mostly all rentals have WiFi these days, not being able to make bookings or get a hold of family would stop me from coming back here. Also the shower was really poor, if there was WiFi and an electric shower I would come back in a second.

Comfy place.

However, lighting is very poor downstairs as is far too bright- A lamp or two would sort that out. Also, it's just as well that we brought a spare blanket as there was a shortage of blankets.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village with cafes, pubs and art galleries, and a great base location for exploring Cornwall.

The hike from the cottage to Cape Cornwall doesn't take very long and the views are amazing. We had everything we needed, and the sea view from the small bedroom was fabulous. The cottage would really benefit from a power shower and a better mattress in the main bedroom, but we have no complaints and have had a brilliant stay.

The cottage itself was really quite nice in appearance and cleanliness.

What really let it down was the fact the most important things involving sleeping and personal hygiene were a complete failure. The double bed was a poor quality basic bed which had been easily broken by previous guests a year ago. It was mended using pieces of wood and screws making it look unprofessional in quality. Also there was the likelihood it could be easily broken again with rough activity. The mattress was made of a poor quality memory foam which made it impossible to either get a good nights sleep or to turn over without the bed squeaking and creaking or myself or my wife disturbing each other as the bed sagged rather badly in the middle under our combined weight of 31 stone. Furthermore, being elderly, I am 72 and my wife will soon be 70, we were unable to bath, shower and fulfil basic levels of cleanliness only with extreme difficulty. On the one occasion I tried to have a bath, my wife took about half an hour to get me out. My legs could not allow me to stand up as my feet could not get a grip on the wet and slippery plastic base of the bath, there were no handles to hold on to support my weight and I kept on slipping down. Neither of us wanted to repeat this terrifying experience! The hand held shower mixer was useless as the hot water which had very little pressure was quickly nullified by the overpowering pressure of the cold water, making it impossible to mix the two as soon as the unit was raised above the level of the bottom of the hot water tank. All the windows apart from the front bedroom we were unable to open, until unlocked by the owner.

The cottage was lovely would recommend it , very cosy and convenient.

We only had one problem we could not get the shower to work, but that did not bother us we used the bath. Reg & Sandra

We really enjoyed our days at Molly's Cottage.

everything was fine. We like to come back! Thank You very much

Lovely little cottage which included all the little things you would not expect to find in a holiday property.

Would definitely visit again.

This was accommodation for guys working away from home.

The landlord very kindly let us have this cottage for a a number of weeks during the busy holiday season for which we were very grateful as a hotel would have been very expensive. Sykes were very easy to deal with and gave a very efficient service. Staff were always friendly and professional.
