Guest Reviews
We’ve recently had a wonderful weeks holiday at Old Kiddlywinks Cottage. We booked directly with the owner and Liz responded to my emails promptly and in a friendly and professional manner.
The cottage has been beautifully decorated and is really well equipped – everything you could possibly want in a kitchen was available, the beds and the linen were so comfy it was like staying in a 5 star hotel and it’s most definitely the best sleep I’ve had in years. We enjoyed making the most of the extensive DVD collection and had movie nights most evenings after having enjoyed the sun trap of the patio. The garden is spacious and secluded but sadly we didn’t get the time to make use of the sunbeds as we were enjoying the coastal path walks so much. The cottage is in a lovely, quiet hamlet and Cubert Common is within easy walking distance – I had many gorgeous walks with our dog there and we walked to Porth Joke beach from the cottage too which was beautiful. The cottage is really well located for reaching lots of beautiful bays, headlands and the coastal path. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did
