September 2020

“Great little cabin in a lovely woodland setting with plenty of basic facilities for a stay in this area.”

Generally well appointed and very comfortable to stay in, though it does not have a DVD player nor was the wood fired hot tub accessible as advertised due to the current Covid restrictions. Very close to Penzance and the southern Cornish Peninsula area, with the park and ride to both St Ives and Penzance a 10 minute drive away at St Erth. Some good pubs and restaurants to eat out at close by. We would recommend this place to stay and are going to be looking at dates to stay there again ...

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Woodland Cabin. It's always lovely to hear how much guests have enjoyed themselves and I'm sorry the hot tub wasn't available during your stay, but hopefully in the near future restrictions with Covid will start to ease and we can have it available again. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Owner relations
Mr Foord-divers September 2020

“The Cabin is an absolutely fantastic place for a holiday, set in a small tended wood on the edge of the valley its a perfect spot to relax.”

Waking up in the morning, opening the French doors out onto the decking with the trees just feet away is simply the best. In fact the grounds are great for a walk too. Privacy is very good The owners are very attentive, anything you need is not a problem as they will tell you. Cleanliness & attention to detail is 100%. We will be staying there again!

“A quiet retreat, off the beaten track, in a picturesque setting.”

The accommodation is basic, but the setting is wonderful. A great place to relax and explore the very south-west. Penzance, Lands End, St. Ives, Mousehole and St. Michael's Mount are all close enough to decide your itinerary on the day, else simply enjoy the grounds and surrounding countryside.

“Would not recommend”

Overall I cannot say I would recommend the Cabin to anyone considering a holiday in Cornwall. There are positives and negatives that should be carefully considered: Positives: The location is excellent. It is the ideal place to tour around and see the wonderful sights around this part of Cornwall. Lots of attractions in very close driving distance. Penzance, St Ives, Beaches, rugged coastline, all a quick hop away. When you go through the gates of the property you feel in a secluded little world. You are surrounded by the woodland garden and it is a very peaceful setting. Perfect if you want that ‘get away from it all feeling’ The gardens that the Cabin is situated in are fantastic for a morning or evening stroll. Not formal gardens, but a wild and charismatic woodland “valley”. There is a “roughing-it” charm to staying in a wooden cabin. If you like camping or caravans, you’ll probably really like this place. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Always a good thing if anything pops up and you need some help/advice. Negatives: The biggest problem with the Cabin is the amount of money you pay for it; it is VERY expensive for the quality of what you pay for. When you are paying £900+ for a week here, all the following reasons make it very poor for the price in my opinion: It is tiny. I was quite surprised when I got there, as the pictures make it look way bigger. You can barely move around the place, it is that small. It is all a bit “tired”, if not simply, dirty. The carpets could do with a good wash and there is a generally a hint of the “grubby” about the whole place. A few examples to give you an idea: When I took some plates on the first night, there was the remains of someone’s dinner on them. The cutlery drawer was rather dirty. And when you step out of the shower your wet feet get black and dirty because you are picking up all the dirt off the bathroom floor. The second (smaller) bedroom had a smell of damp when we stayed. The kitchen is very small and the appliances are dated - certainly not “mod-cons”. The double bed needs replacing as a priority. The mattress does that V thing; sinking both sides down into the middle. The bed frame is rickety and makes a racket if you turn around. We had a week of uncomfortable nights sleeps. There is no facility for recycling any of your waste. There is a single bin, so everything you use has to go into landfill. As eco-minded people this made us uncomfortable; so we had to keep a separate black bag and take our recycling home with us. And something we found very surprising: The place is quite dark even on a bright sunny day. The orientation of the cabin means that the sun probably goes immediately overhead, so you never get any direct light coming into the place. It is an exceptionally gloomy place to stay; even on a bright sunny day you’d probably want the lights on. So overall, not good value for money. The list of negatives wouldn’t be a problem if the price was SIGNIFICANTLY lower (i.e. “you get what you pay for”).

“We had a fantastic stay at the cabin in June.”

It was a perfect base to explore the area but set in such lovely surroundings, we spent quite a bit of time relaxing on the veranda. Lots of places to recommend - Porthcurno, Mousehole, Minack theatre, St Ives...but also Sue's tour of her fantastic tropical garden is a must! Great place!

“My partner and I have stayed in the Little Cabin on numerous occasions over the last 10 years or so, the last being in June 2016 for a fortnight.”

I can still remember the first time I opened the gates into the drive and went "Oh wow. This is amazing!" There were rabbits everywhere. Heaven for an animal lover! The Little Cabin didn't disappoint either. Perfect for a couple. Lovely to open the doors onto the decking and be at one with nature. Or lovely to cosy up in if the weather isn't great. Very comfortable and rather nice to have a small rabbit peeping in to the bedroom, first thing in a morning, from the woodland! The ideal chill out and get away from it all place. Can't recommend it highly enough.

“Myself and my partner really enjoyed our stay at the Cabin.”

The surrounding land is full of wildlife and you can hear the river at the bottom of the hill as soon as you step outside which was lovely. The Cabin is really well located out of the main town so it's nice and quiet. The transport links are great into Penzance, St Ives and St Michael's Mount which is absolutely beautiful. The Cabin itself was lovely with a nice big comfy bed and lovely shower that has plenty of light to get you up in the mornings! This would be a perfect city get away for any couple or family. Absolutely loved it!! :)

With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination!
