A wonderful stay
We’ve rented this property for 7 nights. Peaceful, beautiful surroundings, picturesque garden and a cozy little home with very clean rooms and bathrooms. Jeremy has been very accommodating, and it’s very hard to think of things to complain about. We will definitely think of this hideaway again if we want to have another holiday in St Ives.

Quiet and seclude
If you want quit and/or secluded thats the place to go. Lovely gardens. Unfortunately the weather was a bit cold with a lot of wind. That made sitting and anjoying the ouside problematic. We went out with the car a lot to visit like Mousehole and stIves etc.. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Driving on the narrow roads was quite a challenge.

Schönes und friedliches Plätzchen
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche bei Jeremy! Das cottage liegt auf einem wunderbaren Grundstück mit einem kleinen See und vielen Pflanzen zum Entdecken. Hier hat man absolut seine Ruhe, um nach den Ausflügen ein wenig zu entspannen. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt, dazu gab es einen Grill und Starbdspielzeug in einer Box. Jeremy selbst lebt mit seiner Mutter direkt auf dem großen Grundstück und war zu jederzeit hilfsbereit. Alle Tipps von ihm waren Gold wert. Der Strand war super für uns als Familie, der Pastiesladen mega lecker, der Pub mit tollem Ausblick… Wir können das Cottage nur empfehlen. Liebe Grüße an euch Jill und Jeremy! Ps: Die Cream und Scones zur Begrüßung waren ein Traum!

Idyllisch
Wirklich hideaway. Abgeschieden, schön, klein Alles sauber. Aber es müffelt leicht, wenn man reinkommt. Die idylische Lage macht das aber wett. Morgens kommen Wildkaninchen bis vor die Haustür.

Garden and Cliffs
Positiv: Empfang und Hilfsbereitschaft Vermieter (20 m nebenan im B & B Swietwater Farm), Cornish Cream Tea zum Empfang, Umgebung Cottage (wo kann man Hasen schon vor dem ersten Kaffee beobachten?!), viele Highlights innerhalb 60 Minuten zu erreichen, 2 Bäder, Bank und Stühle für draußen Neutral: Küchenausstattung zweckmäßig, aber nicht topp. Warmwasser über Gastherme - dauert manchmal etwas länger Negativ: recht kalt und klamm im Cottage - ging nur mit Weste, Wärmflasche und Decke auf Couch. Echt schade, aber das ist wohl die Bauweise - warme Sachen also nicht vergessen^^ (wollte Vermieter aber auch nicht fragen ob wir Heizung anmachen dürfen, um ehrlich zu sein) **** Und die Dorfstraßen in Cornwall sind schon speziell ;)

Idylle pur - ein Platz zum Träumen
Wir hatten hier eine wundervolle Woche in einem zauberhaften Refugium. Jedes Zimmer hat sein eigenes Bad, das jeweils gepflegt ist. Insgesamt ist das Häuschen zwar klein, aber für vier Personen absolut ausreichend. Von hier sind sämtliche Besonderheiten im Südwesten sehr gut erreichbar! Vielen Dank für die warmherzige (und sehr leckere) Begrüßung! Jeremy ist stets da, wenn man Fragen hat und extrem sympatisch und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Tranquil setting
A lovely unexpected cream tea awaited us on arrival, with ample milk for a well earned cuppa after travelling. Peaceful and calm setting, the grounds are lovely to have a walk about. Off the beaten track, so no noisy neighbours. Slight critique, personal preference would of liked more plumed up pillows (they were a tad flat, and double mattress on the firm side) slept OK however and would highly recommend. Ideal spot for reading, writing or painting, thank you to G & J for sharing your lovely Cornwall plot, oh and not forgetting the beautiful Blue hydrangeas. Xx

Another Wonderful Holiday, Thank you
Our 3rd consecutive stay, The Hideaway Cottage was very clean, had everything we needed, comfortable bed, lovely shower and the new sofa and chair were very comfy too. The grounds were as amazing as ever, we spent more time there than anywhere else, the wildlife is amazing. Jill and Jeremy are perfect hosts, lovely welcome, cream tea waiting for us too and they also made recommendations of where to visit. I would highly recommend staying here.

Ein Kleinod in einem wunderschönen Garten
Ein wunderschönes kleines Cottage, mit viel britischem Charme in einem herrlichen Garten, das Cottage ist versteckt, abseits der Straße u. der Hektik des Alltags. Die Gastgeber empfingen uns freundlich u. mit offenen Armen, das Häuschen wie beschrieben, der wohl traditionell gereichte Tee u. die dazu dargebotenen Scones haben inbesondere meinen Partner und mich begeistert. Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht gleichzeitig aber auch die Möglichkeit Trubel zu haben ein Auto hat ist dort sehr gut aufgehoben. Gruss Michael B.

It greatly suited our needs as we were planning many short trips to attractions in the area. It was easy to access but at the same time gave a place of total peace and quiet. Our host supported and assisted us in every way. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Nice cosy cottage in quiet location
Cosy cottage in secluded quiet location just a few miles from St Ives. Cornish Cream Tea on arrival was very welcome. As others have mentioned there is limited storage in the cottage especially for clothes. The lounge furniture has also been changed recently and unfortunately is quite uncomfortable.

Maybe harsh but true
Firstly beware! What you see is NOT what you get! The photos are really old and do not reflect the property NOW! This review will be truthful and therefore somewhat harsh. The location of Hideaway Cottage is stunning and it has so much potential which according to the old photos was once fully reached. However, sadly it has now become run down, very tired and unkempt! I will begin with the positive. We stayed in October when the weather was not good but there was plenty of hot water and the heating was efficient and lovely to return to on a cold Autumn day. The double bed was very comfortable and the showers worked well. Dining area was comfortable and the Kitchen generally good. The host was helpful and friendly and answered requests promptly. Crockery, cutlery and glass were acceptable but could do with a couple of proper wine glasses (only 50p!) The tv is ok but really needs updating as the colour was poor. Plenty of DVDs and games. There was a nice cream tea on arrival and fresh roses, much appreciated. The grounds are stunning although rather let go, such a shame. But it was Autumn so this may be different in Spring. REALLY NEEDING ATTENTION The bed linen was awful, it had been washed but the pillowcases were stained brown with use and other stains on the duvet covers Pillows were poor quality and uncomfortable. The twin beds were really uncomfortable and we had to ask for a duvet to soften the surface a little. One of the worst things was the sofa and chairs in the lounge! Firstly they were NOT the comfortable suite shown in the photos but small hard leather or plastic ones that were back breaking after a few minutes. I will try to attached photo, not even a 10 year old could stretch out on the sofa. We had to get a sun lounger in from the garden for my son to comfortably watch a movie. There are no wardrobes or drawers to put clothing in. There is plenty of space to put substantial three drawer bedside cabinets to facilitate better storage. Also a wardrobe could be fitted in in the hallway next to the shelves! The twin room seemed very damp in the bedside cabinets and there is an ugly dirty area around the toilet, probably indicating a slow leak from the toilet. Kitchen was ok but some pans are very gunged on the outside, need ditching! There was no small sharp knife but when asked we were provided with one. Non of the other knives and scissors would cut butter! Both lamps in lounge were broken. Site now going to to stop me!!!

Beautiful private cottage
Lovely little quaint cottage, excellent for a quiet stay a bit spooky at night though. Had to wash all the greasy pans and utensils before use, and sanitised throughout. Thick dust under the bed and cobwebs on the light fittings but overall not a bad cottage. If you want peace and quiet I would recommend. Enjoyed the cream scones on arrival
