We were warm and cosy in the property when the weather was windy and raining. The furniture and beds so comfortable, the house is well equipped and the cream tea was a really nice welcome.
This was our second stay at Cockleshell and we will be back.
Thank you to the housekeeper for your input it was so clean and homely.

The property was lovely and clean and well equipped. It was a fantastic location for the village and a lovely walk down to Mullion Cove.

Another great stay at Creigan House. From the moment you open the door and you're greated by cream tea, everything is lovely. Very clean and welcoming, a home from home. Views are fantastic and ever changing, local shops, cafes and beaches all in easy reach. Noone wanted to leave but we all left very relaxed and talking about our next stay here.

We loved Amber Cottage - the house itself, garden and location so close to the costal path were perfect!

Hawkins, DERBY, Apr 2026
This was our 2nd stay at Avalon and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. Perfect location for walking the coastal paths with our Labrador. Lots of board games to play which we made full use of every night. The garden is 100% escape proof for dogs and the sea view bedroom upstairs is perfect for watching the sunset.
We are already planning our next visit to Avalon next year. The caretakers and housekeepers are a credit to the owners. And the owners are incredibly lucky having such an amazing property by the sea. Thank you for a wonderful week in Mullion :)

The Nook has a welcoming atmosphere for families. There were toys and books for the children as well as a secure garden for them to play in. The property has plenty of parking and is in a quiet location near the centre of the village. We had a wonderful week in Mullion and look forward to staying again in this comfortable property.

We have had a lovely time at Sea Breezes. The house is wonderful and had everything we needed. The weather gave us some lovely warm days and also some not so lovely.
We really do love coming here.
Thank you all for a lovely stay.

We had another lovely week at the cottage. Having the SW coastal path on the doorstep is just a big bonus. The house is also in a great location near shops, ice-cream parlours and pubs. All in all a great place to stay.

The Round House

Excellent. Well managed character property in attractive location. Worthy of a return stay.
Wynwallow Cottage
West, Harrow, Mar 2026
Our fifth stay in six years and - as always- it's been an absolute delight!!
A beautifully presented, cozy (but not small) cottage- within ten/fifteen minutes walk to the lighthouse/cafe/old lifeboat station (and the Coastal Path). Wonderfully equipped and such a comfortable place to wake up to/get back to.
It's only 11 miles to Helston (Sainsbury's/Tesco superstores) so everything on the Lizard Peninsula is within 25 minutes driving realistically. That makes for a really relaxing holiday - stress free.
If you look back through the reviews, you'll see my previous entries - and they're all very similar in tone. Because Dynnargh is the cottage that doesn't really change, but evolves naturally to visitors needs. I can't think of a nicer compliment.
Thank you - you should be proud of your wonderful cottage and - without question- we will be returning ASAP!!
P.S. Bev is the greatest housekeeper too!!
