We had a fantastic stay at Cuckoo cottage and would definitely recommend to others. It is ideally placed to explore south west Cornwall. It was a shame that the local pub is currently closed but I understand it opens again in October. Lovely, cottage with everything you need for a great break.

Beautiful cottage in a great location

Cuckoo cottage was the perfect property for me and my family while we were on holiday in Cornwall. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby seaside resorts but only 5 minutes to St Michael's Mount and 15 minutes to St Ives. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. It was a struggle to drag ourselves out each morning. Excellent communication from the owners and Karen. We all agreed that we would stay here again.

I could live here

A cosy cottage in a small village. Within walking distance to a convenience store and a pub, with only a short drive to Penzance for any serious shopping in Penzance. The cottage was clean and had all you could need for a comfortable stay. Communication with Louise was excellent while the welcome by Karen was warm and informative. I certainly highly recommend Cuckoo Cottage to any visitors to this region.

Fantastic cosy cottage in great location.

This cottage was in a great location close to both St Ives and Penzance in the village of Crowlas, just off the main road. The village has a pub, Spar and an excellent Chinese takeaway. The house itself is small and cosy, but has everything you need. (we even discovered a coffee maker in the back of a cupboard). The lounge is warm and comfortable, the WiFi worked well, the kitchen was clean and well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy beds and bedding, it was also very quiet. Only slight downside was just one toilet in the downstairs bathroom, which means that it's probably not suitable for elderly or very young children, due to going up and down the stairs at night, but it was fine for our family. Communication with the owner was excellent, she was very helpful and the housekeeper was also very friendly and polite. St Michael's mount was within a very short drive, or a long walk away. From the bedroom windows were fields of cows, which was a lovely view. There is a meter for electricity, and in our stay of 3 nights we only used £7. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to stay again soon.
