We stayed for 3 nights, 4 adults, Beautiful home, and a great location to drive to see the rest of Cornwall. Spacious kitchen, lovely intimate lounge, good selection of board games. The host is close if needed and very accommodating. We we're greeted with scones, fudge, clotted cream and fresh flowers, which was a nice touch. The entrance driveway Read moreis a little tight, we drive a Hyundai Tuscan and this was a squeeze, I feel if a vehicle is any larger than this that they may struggle. I would recommend this property and will hopefully return . Hide

Lovely cottage in such a peaceful place - well equipped, comfy beds and a gorgeous sun-trap of a garden. And we had the most lovely hand-written welcome letter from the hosts giving tips for dog walks and where to get the tastiest pasty! Would highly recommend this property.

Someplace else has been nothing short of lovely; Comfortable and homely, the perfect mix of old and new, set in an ideal location for exploring.. and there really is so much to see and do within easy reach of the cottage.

We would love to return, and are again so very grateful to Donna and Adrian. Please note the warning that the driveway is narrow - it is not suitable for vans/camper size vehicles.. we were able to safely park just before the driveway instead without issue, but this is worth being fully aware of.

We had the most relaxing holiday at Someplace Else. The cottage is so beautifully presented and very comfortable.

Unfortunately we didn't find the property comfortable. The kitchen didn't seem very clean especially the extractor fan that my husband had to clean before we started cooking, then to find out there wasn't any oven gloves, also all towels didn't dry us properly and had an musty odour, as did the shower room. Upstairs the velux windows could do with Read moreblinds. From the outside the barn looks beautiful a real shame as we were looking forward to our stay. Response from Holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you so much for your review of this property.

Oven gloves will be provided for guests in future and made to measure blinds for the velux windows are soon to be installed. Hide

We were a group of four italian ladies who had the chance of discovering this corner of peace and coziness in the middle of Cornwall.

Had a very nice stay, the location is great as its central to alot of tourist hotspots and local shops and pubs. The only negatives we found is that The cottage has all the amenities needed as well as a large kitchen. The cottage is overlooked by a facing neighbour. Overall nice stay.

The kitchen is bright and beautiful, whereas the rooms in the old building are significantly darker than shown in the pictures. Although it was summer, it was difficult to ventilate . Anyone who is sensitive to odors will quickly notice. The main bathroom (not shown in the pictures) has no windows which means that no air circulation is taking placeRead more. In St. Day you will hardly find other tourists - no typcial tourist location. Hide
