Reviews
"This place certainly has the WOW factor. Your every need is catered for, not a thing out of place, even down to our dog being left a Bonio in the dog bowl for our arrival. Lovely decor, light, airy, spacious & makes you feel very special. Downstairs is very relaxing with lovely patio doors allowing sunlight in virtually all day. The master bedroom is huge with an en suite that is superb. The bed & pillows were so comfy. Our daughter (12) loved her room as it had a tv in it & the separate bathroom, which made her feel very grown up seeing as she didn't have to share with mum & dad!!! Definitely a place I would choose to stop again. Very central to all that Cornwall had to offer. Only about half an hour to our favourite beach, Treyarnon Bay, which was our main reason for booking this cottage. With regards to the dog, the outside area is not secure so if your pet has a tendency to wander then maybe you need to have a re-think, plus no grass around so they can do their "business". Luckily our pooch sticks to my husband like glue so she never ever bothered to make an escape bid plus we didn't mind waking her round the village to let her go to the toilet & obviously we had pooh bags aplenty to clear it up!!!! Would be nice if we could have had re-cycling boxes for our empty "Rattler" bottles as I do like to re-cycle where I can. Apart from these two small blips I can highly recommend this cottage as a great base for a holiday to Cornwall .... get it booked!!!!! "
"Just returned back from a superb weeks holiday staying at The Old Smithy. The cottage was perfect, lovely decoration and had everything we needed. Added bonus of a Co-op a short walk away and the Ring O Bells does great food. Hopefully returning in October we loved it that much. Oscar our dog was also made very welcome xx"
"Absolutely beautiful, loved everything about this cottage and will most definitely be back. The location is ideal as it is easy to get to places yet quiet and private. It has its own parking (always a plus in that neck of the woods) and a lovely local pub that does great food. Well laid out, very nicely decorated and has all the mod cons you need. Wish it was mine!!!"
"We stayed here with another couple, and the place had everything we could possibly need. It was immaculate, comfortable, and convenient - we could walk to a grocery store and great take-out places. Well-decorated, satellite tv, two great bathrooms! Good base for exploring Cornwall."
"Beautiful property, immaculate from top to bottom. Had everything we needed for our stay. Prime location close to the beach and the Eden project. Would recommend to all. Will definitely be going back in the summer 2014."
"This cottage has the wow factor as soon as you walk in. The photos do not do it justice. St Columb Major is a lovely little village with local shops and pubs also very central for getting out and about. Visited Lands End which did take about 1hr 20, Padstow, Port Isaac where they were filming Doc Martin, Sennen Cove which is beautiful, loads of other towns and villages, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cornwall and cannot wait to go back."
"We loved our stay here - had lots of friendly touches such as a cream tea to welcome us and dog treats for our dog! Compelted to a high standard - woudl definately go back"
"Good service from start to finish. Home was beautifully decorated and nice and central for sight seeing. National Trust properties close by, nice walks, beautiful coastline and interesting towns. Only blip was not being able to find the house easily-perhaps instructions could be improved? We couldn't see the name 'The Old Smithy' anywhere. Otherwise 10/10."
"Turned up on the Saturday pm where we were meet by the owner as there was a problem with one of the lights in the bathroom, she had a electrican turning up at any moment to fix it. She left us to settle in and unpack whilst the light was getting fixed, once this was done she wished us a great time and lefted. There was a bottle of red wine on the side and cream teas two great touches. The conversion is done to a very high standard spotless throughout, very clean even though pets have been welcome in this cottage. Beds were made in both bedrooms and towels on the beds too. Never heard of st columb major before, but it is an excellent base to get to Newquay, st Ives, Edan project, within 30mins. There's a co-op just across the square which is a 2min walk which is great to get a morning paper! And a local butchers too. There are a one or two things I would ask to change, another chair in the lounge area, DVD player in lounge for those cold nights in,some more hangers in the wardrobes and some shelves in the bathrooms so you can put the toiletries on. Other than that this is a 5 star cottage and would recommend to anyone wishing to visit Cornwall."
