We had a fantastic week at Merlin's Cottage. We did unfortunately have a couple of issues with the power to fridge and oven. We were told on arrival there was a problem with the hot tub and this wasn't fixed during our weeks stay. We have been promised a small refund for this but doesn't take away from the fact we booked it for the hot tub, andRead more we've not received the refund two weeks on. As others have said there isn't anywhere near enough garden furniture, and what is there is broken and unsafe. The garden also had a lot of previous guests dog poo in it. Saying that the house was very cosy, comfortable and warm. Absolutely stunning views and location, extremely well equipped. We had a really lovely family holiday there. Hide

This place is absolutely gorgeous with gorgeous sea views and a lovely garden. - The wonderful costal path walks are right on the doorstep and Tintagel itself is magical. However, issues we had were there was no welcome/instruction pack and sadly no garden furniture - The garden and its views are out of this world but would be much better seated rRead moreather than standing! sadly the price we paid for this (luxury price) did not come through on some of the aspects of the stay - we saw a cottage even closer to the sea (which was a holiday home) with identical features for 1000 less than what we paid so slightly sour grapes. The games room was fantastic - although the darts were all broken as were the pool cues (a shame really) Overall with those things aside we had a fantastic time as a family and just a few adjustments (as mentioned above) would have made it worth the money we paid. Response from Holiday Cottages - We are sorry to hear that the outdoor furniture was not in place upon your arrival. We are glad the owner was able to replace this during your stay Hide

The house was generally clean and comfortable. It is in a wonderful situation and very peaceful. There were however several matters in need of attention. Our main complaint was the lack of privacy in the upstairs en suite. Hopefully this has been remedied by now with the installation of a blind, something that was not achievable during our stay. Read more The contact phone number for the housekeeper was out of date and notably none for the owner. Although the kitchen was well provided for with crockery and utensils we could not find two large saucepans and those provided were in poor condition. Insufficient for a property that sleeps 8. There were only three garden chairs provided and we found no sign of a table tennis net. None of the conservatory lamps were working and the back door was tricky to lock. The upstairs bedroom doors did not shut properly. We did not feel the boundaries were sufficiently dog proof to let our dogs off with sheep and lambs in the next field. Having said all this we did enjoy our stay at the cottage and thanks for the cake! Hide
