“Comfortable, clean and welcoming cottage in a peaceful and historic village.”

The Seven Stars pub round the corner is a great spot to sit outside in the evening sunshine. There’s a handy village shop and the Falmouth passenger ferry which runs every half an hour is a fun way to reach all the amenities of the town. I would particularly recommend the lovely coast path walk around to Café Mylor which overlooks Mylor harbour.

“Not the cleanest of properties on arrival, bathroom not clean and previous guests towels behind the door.”

bathroom requires an update and extractor fan - signs of damp. flushing is a lovely quiet location, friendly locals and good pubs. ideal place to explore local and further afield areas.

We are very glad that you enjoyed the location of the cottage, the friendliness of the locals and the many amenities of Flushing. Thank you for the heads - up about the cleaning. We have obviously slipped up on this occasion and hope it did not spoil your holiday. Rest assured, the matter is in hand and at the first opportunity a deep clean will be done. Owner relations

“We did not have WiFi the entire time we were there.”

The owner tried to rectify the situation without success. He did offer us a small reimbursement for the inconvenience. It is difficult to plan a vacation without the internet to book activities. The WiFi problem seems to have happened before so not an isolated problem. The home is lovely and nicely situated. Would definitely book again if WiFi is corrected.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Quarry Cottage. We have spoken with the owner who confirmed that following a fault with BT the wifi is now up and running and working perfectly. Owner relations

“The quirkiness added so much charm to the cottage.”

Surprisingly a lot larger than it looks from the outside. The homely touches (dog treats, dog blanket, cleaning products, Cornish biscuits, tea, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge) were a lovely added bonus. Good sized towels were also appreciated, a big bug bare of ours is these titchy towels you often get in hotels! Two great pubs in the village serving good food. Cornwall is very dog friendly. Falmouth and St Ives are must see visits.

“The cottage is perfectly located for ease of access to surroundings.”

The arms on the sofa are very hard on the edges and both of my sons banged their heads on them on separate occasions. The parking is terrible for all, on many an occasion we had to park at the top of a very big hill and walk back down to the cottage. Overall the cottage is lovely and is very clean and well equipped.

“We had a superb holiday, and a huge factor of it being fabulous was our lovely little cottage.”

So charming. Flushing itself is also a beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend Quarry cottage.

“We were so pleased to find a property 1) back with helpful holidays and that had not been taken over by some of the overpriced agencies that seem to think every one needs a 5star property that you don’t feel comfortable in.”

2) at a great price and excellent value for money. 3) A home from home that was fantastically kitted out, comfortable, spotless and beautiful I have spent my whole life coming to Flushing with my family and could not have asked more of what we received; Dee was a wonderful and so welcoming on our arrival, Helpful Holidays service is second to none. Well done and thank you so much for making our holiday so wonderful.
