Really comfortable for two people, 4 sharing would be a bit tight. Not recommended for any one with mobility issues. Very well equipped

I am so pleased Shearwater worked out well for you. It was the first holiday home my Grandmother stayed in, in Cornwall, and is still owned by the same family, so it holds a lot of memories for me too. All the best, Emily

The cottage was in a beautiful location. Lovely to be able to see Herons and Egrets from the window. The steep wooden stairs to the garden are not particularly dog friendly. The cottage had everything

Many thanks for your feedback we will pass this back to the owner. You mention the stay being expensive however, bearing in mind Shearwater sleeps 4 people, the price per night per person is very reasonable. As there are only two of you staying, for your next visit please do call us so that we may be able to help you find accommodation that is more size-appropriate.

Lovely cottage right by the river. We loved SUPing and kayaking from the door. Lots of beaches and coves to explore. Bathroom a bit tight.

Many thanks for your review and feedback from your recent stay at Shearwater. We are sorry that your expectations were not met. We feel that our website reflects the approaching single-lane road via the aerial photography and the tiered garden through the property images. We mention in the description that there are 20 steps and that the parking is suitable for one medium car. Previous guests have selected to stay at Shearwater for its remote and tranquil location. We apologise that, on this occasion, you felt the property was unsuitable for your needs and we always encourage you to call us before or throughout your stay, to chat through any questions or queries. It is a joy to read that you felt the cottage was lovely. Sending kind regards from the team at Cornish Holiday Cottages

About Cornish Holiday Cottages
The crunch of leaves on the Maenporth coastpath. The phosphorescent glow in creeks Du Maurier called her own. The rave-reviewed courtyard Kitchen on the Old High Street. The scent of Penjerrick woods after the rain. Falmouth and Helford River constantly seduce and surprise, with no two moments the same. It's why we love our little corner of the world and why we know you will too. With the right place to stay, holidays are made. The day starts on your doorstep and you feel like anything is possible. It's something Ruth Austen knew when she set up this business in 1978 and something we swear by today. It's why we pour over each property in our portfolio, making sure it ticks all the boxes so we can find the right fit for your holiday habits. Whether it's creekside retreats for hiding out, beachfront apartments for stepping out, or countryside boltholes for drying out by the fire - dogs and all, ours is a small curated collection that we can't wait to share with you. We don't do endless listings and we don't do overpromising descriptions. We just do holiday homes that speak volumes in a place that you'll fall head-over-heels for - paired with customer care that you can count on, day and night. Because your holiday happiness makes our world go round. That and the occasional sea swim after work, of course.
