TheSimpson family, Glasgow: What a wonderful fortnight – not a drop of rain and hot and sunny every day! Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this area – there is so much to see and do. Highlights were visits to Tresco, Heligan and an evening performance at The Minack Theatre. Great choice of local produce at Richards Farm Shop, great food at Trevascus Farm – both are must visits. Finally many thanks to Janet and Matt (standing in for Jean+ Stuart who were on holiday) for the warm welcome, visits to the hens and help in the power cut! The barn is a real haven – so quiet and comfortable, looking forward to meeting Jean & Stuart on another visit!
The Sheridan & Mathew Family S Wales: Very cosy and comfy, everything we needed here! We liked the games room a lot and hope to see you next year. The area was very nice and pretty – and thanks for the eggs.

The Reeve family Derbyshire: Fantastic time, would recomend Flambards, Paradise Park and Eden Project, all good especially out of season as kids went on lots of things without queuing. Two good restaurants – The watermill 757912 very large portions and lovely fresh food. Pizza Patio – great pizza’s and very large fresh pasta dishes. Carbis Bay is a lovely beach with parking close by. St Ives is good and parking best early in the morning or late evening. Weather was good and with the games room there was always things to do. Thankyou for a lovely holiday. Lana+Simon.
The Hiscock Family, Weston Super Mare: Great accomodation,thanks for all your help. Excellent time , would recomend this ideal setting.
The Sheridan family, S Wales: Very comfy and peaceful for a family holiday. Good idea about the games room, we liked it a lot! Nice area for a big garden to play in. We want to see you next year – its a long journey but well worth it! We liked the big TV a lot and appreciated the amount of kitchen storage.
The Worwood Family, Warwick: Our second year & still we are made very welcome. Great week with the weather – visited many beaches – Praa Sands, sennen Cove & Porthtowan, also St Just & Cape Cornwall, great cove for rock pooling and exploring. Jean + Stuart always very helpful, accommodation comfortable and clean. Thanks again x.
The Holland family, Oxfordshire: A sunny week, so we went to the beach at Godrevy via the National Trust Car Park. Local food – especially some fruit and meat – is available at Trevaskus Farm Shop. There is a gentle walk along the river at St Erth when you tire of the coast. In Hayle the sub-tropical gardens are an impressive surprise and do not miss the yummy ice cream at Mr B’s! We all enjoyed the arcade games and one of us, aged 10 – representing England – won the final of the World Cup beating Italy 1-0!
The Meadows Family, Warwick: A great place to stay! Accommodation excellent + especially good for young families, children extremely pleased with games room and garden and I really appreciated the washing machine + tumble dryer – very sad! A brilliant base for everywhere and definitely worth a return visit soon. Thanks to you both – Its been lovely.
The Shearer family, Midlothian, Scotland: Thank you for a fantastic holiday (again!!!) Weather was against us this time but this place is so homely it more than compensated, really sad to be away but hopefully we’ll be back! Thanks for the eggs and your hospitality – still the best place we’ve stayed in – even in the rain!! Take care xx
Vernon family, Staffs: Great – nice base within easy distance of St Ives & Hayle, kids loved gardens and games room.
Chris & Anne Carter. Plymouth: Lovely accommodation – very peaceful. Ideal base for exploring West Cornwall, weather not so good but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Hope to return soon!
Cara, Lee, Jack, Olivia & baby Alfie – S.Yorks: Couldn’t be more perfect! Apartment excellent, clean, well equipped, gardens lovely, games room a big hit with everyone, especially pool table.

Beryl & Phillip Jordan, Devon: Wonderful accommodation + fantastic weather = perfect holiday!
Atkins family, Liverpool: Fabulous accommodation, Jean Stuart + family very friendly and helpful. Loved the games room and garden + all the other facilities. (all that was missing was the sun!)

Great hosts – thanks for the entertainment Stu! Daddy and daughter enjoyed the games room! Will recommend to friends and family – see you next year!
Liz,H, Owen & Thomas – Cardiff: Back again for a second time & just as good as it was last time. Many thanks. x Our fave cafes – The beach at Sennen Cove, The Hub in St Ives (upstairs balcony overlooks the harbour), Godrevy Beach Cafe. Excellent skate park in Hayle. Excellent beaches all around – our favourites are Sennen Cove and Gwithian/Godrevy at Hayle.
Jacqui, Joseph, Moses – Kent: Lovely Cottage, nice and clean. Jean + Stuart great + helpful hosts, loved the games room will definitely come back + also recommend to friends.
Keith, Janet & Nikki – London: Great breath of fresh air. Lovely eggs + (sorry, can’t decipher the rest, something about ‘umberfi steve and a monkey!)
Goldie Family – Scotland: The apartment is really comfortable and the games room and outdoor activities are brilliant.. Wide range of attractions within a short driving distance, particularly appreciated by the driver! We really enjoyed Goonhilly and the Eden Project. We would recommend Pizza Patio in Hayle for their pizza and Kota in Porthleven for a treat. The shopping was good everywhere, we wish there was a sea salt (shop) in Scotland!
Swindon Town Ladies & Swindon Spitfires Laura, Sarah, April, Kelly, Becky & Cara: We have really enjoyed our stay in Killarney. We have done loads of interesting cool stuff but I’d say miniature world stood out as the best value for money. We also visited Newquay Zoo which would be great for kids but turned out to be a bit of a let down for us. St Ives is brilliant and not far down the road. Jeepers Karting was overpriced but okay. Newquay Town was lovely but the best fish & chips were from Falmouth.
Another great stay for the second year running, thanks for adding the dart board (sorry about the wall!) ps make the TV easier to turn on!
Qumula Family – Midlands: To our first British holiday – and it will not be the last. We have been warmly welcomed and our time here has been great, despite the English weather! It will get our high recommendation to friends and we look forward to coming again. The location is excellent, it means we could explore the delights of Cornwall without too much travel. The facilities and hosts have been excellent!
Jack, Anne, Jacky, Kevin, Baby Harrison, Cara, Lee, Olivia, Jack & Baby Alfie: Yorkshire & Essex (Killeen & Killarney): This was our first family holiday in England so it was lovely to find two apartments together in such a lovely setting. Everything has been perfect, the gardens & games room kept everyone occupied and we even had sun all week. Excellent holiday, we will be back if we can get everyone together at the same time again – thankyou.
Joan, Joyce Joshua & Samuel – Liverpool: Fabulous accommodation, fabulous hosts. Games room & gardens well used – just missing the sun!!!
Graham, Judith, Brendan & Hannah Greaves – Lancs: Thank you for a wonderful time. The apartment is wonderful (as is the games room. It is situated so you can access popular places to visit easily. Country skittles is enjoyable & reasonably priced and has games for the whole family. St Ives is great for a visit – The Barbara Hepworth Gallery is enjoyable, wonderful beaches and seaside shops there also. Penzance is a great seaside place too, lots to do there. Plenty of National Trusts to see (near by) which are enjoyable. Its been a pleasure staying – the family are wonderful and we hope to come again!
Chris, Suz, Reece, Ryan & Keira – Luton: What can we say? Great accommodation, great facilities – excellent. The kids loved the arcade & the garden games, it was hard to drag them away at times. Stuart & Jean you were great, full of info on what to do, swimming in Falmouth was excellent, Paradise Park & The jungle barn wore them out and it was just down the road. The ability to borrow the boards when we went to Newquay beach was great. The DVD library kept the kids going in the evenings. Overall it was fab, the kids already want to come back. I have to say it will be very hard to beat this. Will definitely come back again – thanks for a great week! Suz, Chris, Reece, Ryan & Kierra xx.
Baker Family – New Forest:: Thank you for a lovely weekend break. The apartment is lovely and the facilities here are superb. We enjoyed the weekend so much that we are hoping to visit for a week next time! Thanks once again, Kev,Claire + Chloe.
Mortiboys Family – Coventry: Thank you very much for the lovely stay, you made it so welcoming and I felt at home. I loved the facilities, its a shame I’ve got to go!

(loved the Xmas decorations!)
The Ryan family – Plymouth: Thank you Jean & Stuart for such a warm welcome! The apartment is fantastic, so cosy & comfortable, we don’t want to leave! Kids want to stay here forever and love the games room & TV! Everything seems to have been thought of in the apartment, really peaceful & relaxing. Hope to be back soon in the summer. Thanks again for a brilliant night on New Years Eve. I shall be wearing the gloves with pride, devastated that we missed out on Bully’s special prize by one point though! Lots of love Andrea, Shane, Nathan & Casey x.
Bungay – Lincoln: Fantastic! Home from home. So welcoming, peaceful, clean, attractive, warm – what more can we say? Can’t wait to come back. We really enjoyed our break. Thanks x.
Oyler family – Cambridge: Killarney is a lovely modern apartment, yet still retains the charm of the old barn. Ideally located near our favourite beach for surfing at Gwithian. Lots for the children to do at Killanoon when it’s wet (which it was a lot!) Thanks for a great time, we will be back! PS. Loved the Plasma TV!
Christine & Melvyn Holt – Cheshire: Had a great holiday at Killarney. We have stayed at many cottages/apartments over the years & can honestly say this is the best! The apartment is very well equipped & facilities first class. It is comfortable & spotlessly clean. Killanoon is the perfect base for exploring Cornwall. Thank you Jean & Stuart for making us welcome – the flowers, eggs & milk were a nice thought..
Ciaran & Chris Wilkinson – Scunthorpe: This place is by far the best holiday accommodation that I have stayed in for a very long time, the comfort of the guests seemed to be thought out well, A great place to stay. Thank you CPW & CDW
Muriel & Graham Smith – Cardiff-South Wales: A lovely welcome – & thank you for the eggs & milk. After being here a day, we booked for May 2007-when we will return with visitors from Arizona USA. the accommodation (ground floor) has been Ist class- “Smugglers” on the Sunday most enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyed the area also the Fish & Chips opposite the Co-op (Co-op excellent for shopping!) Looking forward to May 2007 with our Daughter & Son-in-Law. Thank you.
Barry Bianca Baby Skye – Holyhead-North Wales 420 miles away :0( - Ideal location, very homely everything you could want or even borrow, Body boards, Deckchairs, DVD’s the list goes on. The co-op in Hayle is the best place to shop, Paradise Park good day out, 5 mins away. St Ives a must, the area has it all depending on your taste from surfing to the Tate – Fish & Chips to fine Fish Cafe’s. “The Sea Food Cafe on Fore St in St Ives is highly recommended” will be back soon cheers Jean & Stuart. PS Thanks for the Egg’s.
Kerrie & Andy Worwood – Warwick: Great place to stay, kids enjoyed the games room & badminton court! Thanks for the warm welcome, the fresh eggs were great!! Hopefully we will see you again next year. Take care. (Already booked) Thomas: It is an amazing place to stay!!! I would love to come again, thanks. Ken: We have enjoyed our first visit very much, & the accommodation & its facilities have proved very useful. With “great weather” allowing us to explore the local beaches our week could not have been better. ps “To Stuart” Facilities could be improved with a Gym, Sauna, Jacuzzi & floodlit Soccer/Tennis/Badmington courts. A Squash court would be nice (only joking)
The Carroll family – Somerset:: After a slightly shaky start to the holiday at St Ives Tesco (we recommend Morrisons on the way to Penzance) we have had a lovely break. The weather had been very up & down, but having such a super base had made the holiday a real pleasure. The accommodation has everything you could need & more & it is a very comfortable space. The facilities are excellent especially the games room. Stuart & Jean gave us a very warm welcome & enabled us to have a very relaxed holiday. We would highly recommend the Lamb & Flag Inn on the way from Hayle to Penzance, the food is fab they serve it all day & they make families very welcome.
The Toulson family – Sheffield: We’ve really enjoyed our holiday at Killarney. Our share of the barn was lovely & clean. Ben & Sara thought the games room was great especially the pool table. If we’d been here more (not always off to the beach!) they would have also used the badminton & table tennis more. On our rainy days the games & DVDs were great. Thank you for your warm welcome, also advice, we enjoyed Praa sands & the Balti King in Hayle especially beaches at Gwithian & Porthtowan were great for body boarding & surfing. Sara Toulson: The place has been great, one of the best I have ever stayed in, It was excellent facilities & I really enjoyed playing pool in the evenings. We have been to lots of your recommendations for eating & they have been wonderful, I would really recommend you try it at Sennen, Gwithian or Porthtowan. It has been excellent staying & I am sad to leave. The Puppies were so cute!
Mandi & Zoe – Huddersfield – West Yorkshire: Loved the accommodation, especially the fire, I think you’ve created a pyromaniac. Games room was great, thanks. Careful eating pasties at St Ives, we were mugged by a seagull! Cyder farm was great but allow time to sober up before driving & if your taking the helicopter to the Scilly Isles book in advance! Thanks Jean & Stu for a great place to stay, we’ve loved it.
Sue & Dave Wilkinson – North Lincs: Wonderful accommodation with everything we could want for, loved the games room particularly Batman Pinball, Thanks very much.

Will recommend to all my friends. Thankyou for a great week.
Andrew, Rowena, Emma & Tom – Herts: Had a great holiday – best beach – Gwithian Towans, restaurants to visit – Porthmeor Beach cafe, St Ives and The Bean Inn (veggie) Both excellent. Avoid Cornish Arms, very disappointing, (Stuart says – there are two, Hayle & St Ives. Don’t know which one you are referring to). House – clean, tidy, comfortable, great games room!! Thanks.
Richard, Jayne, Oliver + Harry – Bristol: This is our second visit and it was even better than last year! We visited lots of beaches and gardens – Heligan was amazing. We had an amazing meal at Mount Haven Hotel, Marazion. We’ll probably be back next year! (Already booked)

( A wonderful holiday. Thank you.
Dawn, Rich & Daniel – Coventry: We had a fantastic time! Apartment clean & comfortable. Stuart & Jean made us feel very welcome and the dogs/puppies/kittens/birds were all lovely! We (particularly Dan!) loved the games room & field and its in a good location, rural & quiet but only 5 minutes from civilisation & the beaches! If you get a chance to go down to the Maize Maze we recommend it. The weather was perfect the only thing was having to leave (

Baddon family – London: Fantastic apartment with a fantastic location. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return!
Becky Laura & Sarah – Wiltshire: Very nice apartment in a great location just off the beaten track but not too far from Cornwall attractions. Had a great day at St Micheals Mount and would recomend a visit if you like hills! Had great fun in the games room & table tennis – would be even better with dart board & stereo (Now in place) Had a fab stay will come again and try not to singe the oven gloves! (sorry!)
Follen family – Heidelberg, Germany: Had a wonderful 2 weeks and are very sad to leave! The apartment is beautifully furnished and really well equipped – maybe the best equipped self catering place we have stayed in. We’d recommend – if you like walking – walking from Porthcurno to Sennen Cove, round about Botallack, Frenchmans Creek/ Helford river, or Heligan Gardens, or a trip to The Lizard & a sunbathe at Kynance Cove… the list is endless and we will definitely be back to do the rest! Thanks for everything and all the best.
Baillie family – Ipswich: Jean & Stuart many thanks for your hospitality, you live in a truly beautiful part of the country & your accommodation is by far the best we have stayed in. The kids loved the games room + garden and so did the adults! Visited Poldark mine (so,so), Helford (picturesque), Flambards (fun day out), St Ives (busy, but still the most beautiful town in England). The beaches at Sennen Cove and Porthcurno were fantastic, Praa Sands nearby is also very good.
Vicky & Esmond – South Wales: We love the converted barn, the decor fantastic, kitchen etc & what a wonderful base for exploring Cornwall, although our stay was cut short by ill health, we did get to see – St Ives – wonderful, St Micheals Mount – coated in an eerie mist, The Gardens of Trevarno – stunning. We recommend the White Hart Hotel in Hayle – an old Hotel but wonderful food & just down the road. We hope to return one day. Thanks for the eggs too!
Liz, Howard & Owen – Cardiff: Lovely accommodation & really enjoyed the space around it. Great to have the garden, and games room a bonus. Good location for exploring this end of Cornwall – very welcoming & always on hand for anything we needed. Thank you.
The Clegg family – Norfolk: We have stayed in many different cottages around the country and I can honestly say these are undoubtedly the best. For the facilities alone, Killanoon is the ideal place for a family base. Thank you to Stuart & Jean for making us feel welcome and for everything you have provided us with. I don’t really think you left anything out.. When we visit again we will definitely be staying at Killanoon. As for places to visit we would recommend St Ives – not only does it have great beaches but it also has a quaint picturesque town. Also Newquay is pretty good – try ‘Lusty Glaze’ beach for a nice family friendly area. All in all a great holiday which was complimented by these cottages. PS. 2 things that would make these cottages better would be a dish washer and a hot tub!! Ha ha!. (Stuart says – we have only just got the hang of this newfangled electric down here in Cornwall – what’s a ‘dishwasher & hot tub’ then?).
The Shearer family – Midlothian, Scotland: A beautiful apartment and a very warm welcome. Thanks for making our holiday so special! All the extras you’ve provided make this type of holiday so much easier. We will highly recommend your cottages to friends and family and we look forward to a return in the not too distant future. (Aready booked)
Dave, Rachel & Harley – Somerset:: I thought the apartment was 5 star luxury. Its very peaceful here, lovely & clean & tidy! Thanks for the milk and eggs! Hope to see you again.
Hailes family – Bedfordshire: Thank you Jean + Stuart for a lovely welcome, helpful tips on where to go and wonderful accommodation. Next time can you arrange the weather as well!
Swindon Spitfires Ladies Football Team – Wiltshire: * Friendly welcome & Good location * Clean, modern apartment * Excellent facilities, including TV’s games room & Kitchen * nice garden * well priced.
Cage family – Ipswich: On arrival after a ‘very’ long journey, we found the apartment to be very cosy. We visited many places, Tintagel Castle and Bocastle where the Cornish pasties were the best! We also went to Lands End and the sights were very nice, but don’t pay for the extra attractions as not worth it! Poldark mine was good, where you can also pick up leaflets to gain money off for Flambards which was also good. We visited St Ives, Penzance Helston, Gweek, St Micheals Mount which were all very nice. We also got to the beach at Hayle which was lovely. Jean + Stuart were very friendly and made us feel at home – thank you.
Blythe family – Notts: Feels homely, very comfortable and highly recommendable.
Thorir Family – Bristol: Thanks for a lovely stay, we loved the house! Very nice atmosphere around here, the kids loved the games room + all the space and freedom.

Kirk family – 3 people – Leicester: Many thanks to Jean + Stuart for a lovely stay. The accommodation cannot be faulted, surrounding countryside and St Ives very pleasant. Very impressed with the apartment – the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in so far. Excellent games room. Our son is only one and a half years old but we intend to come back when he’s a bit older. The weather wasn’t wonderful, overcast and a slight drizzle latter part of the holiday, but we still had a fantastic time + found the location ideal for sightseeing.
Cooper family – 4 people – Swindon: Apartment immaculate & comfortable. Ideal spot for visiting + exploring the Lizard & Penwith peninsular. Thanks.
Armstrong family – 7 people – Wales: Thank you Stuart + Jean for such a warm welcome and for giving us the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place, we all loved it and had a great time.
