Garretts Reviews

The accommodation was immaculate and clean. Garretts was spacious and had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend the booking to others.
Caroline
Brilliant cottage and Katherine was very helpful when we needed a bit of support. The games room was a win with the two teenage boys in the party, and the location is superb.
Perfect cottage and location. Very well equipped and maintained. We will be booking for next year!
There wasnt a Guest Book to comment on? Anyway, we had a lovely time but there are a few points I need to make The dishwasher had no salt or rinse agent, which isnt a big point but I dont think salt had been refilled for a while PLUS the dishwasher needs a clean which I managed to do but the light is still flashing? The wood burner isnt great
Amelia
We have been to Cawsand a few times over the past couple of years. First time staying at Garretts. We will 100 recommend this cottage to family and friends and would love to stay here again. The interior is lovely, and the house is well equipped. The only faults were that the cutlery, plates and mugs were dirty from the previous guests and the shower head in the family bathroom was broken. Unfortunately, we didnt use the terrace as there was no furniture up here. We would have loved some garden future here so we could utilise the outdoor space when the sun was out! There was also dog poo on the terrace that was not cleared from the previous guests. Overall, the 6 of us had a wonderful stay. We couldnt fault anything else. The location is fantastic and we will certainly be booking this property again in the future.
The location of this house is amazing! Ideal for the local area, which is beautiful! The pubs here are lovely, welcoming and have great food. The house, on entering, it does have a wow factor, its huge with plenty of space, good furnishings, lots of facilities and extras, the welcome scones were a nice touch. Only thing I would say is that the house needs a really good spring clean, the glasses and crockery were grubby on arrival had to pop it all through the dishwasher, quite a few mould spots too which could do with addressing although being by the sea and an old building understand that this is not easy and lots of cobwebs. Other than that it is an ideal place to stay for convenience.
Graham
This was a great property for the larger family, and we really enjoyed our stay. This is our 10 year staying in Kingsand, we love the village. We would use Garrett again in the future. If I had any comments it would be to say that the sofas in the lounge area could be upgraded to some that are more comfortable, also the drainage did seem to be slow at flowing away. We have seen this in other properties and I think it's from sand blocking the waste traps. My last comment is that holiday properties always require some annual tlc at the end of the season. So thanks Kathryn for checking in and helping us when needed, we really had a great holiday. Cheers
Fabulous, quirky house which suits 8 adults easily. Everything you want is included and supported by a responsive owner when we had a couple of questions. Excellent location in a wonderful place.
Katherine
Wonderful holiday cottage great facilities and outdoor space, perfect location within the village. Owners considerate, engaged and helpful. A very happy holiday. Perfect!
The Property suited us perfectly. Great space for us all to in and have as our base for the week. The beds were really comfy, showers were lovely, the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved being in Kingsand and Cawsand. We really got to explore the area and of course the beaches and locals were lovely. Would highlight recommend some of the following we kept our family 6 adults, 3 kids aged 4,2,2 and a dog the stores for you a brilliant coffee The old bakery for a pizza on a Monday ferry trip from Cawsand beach to Plymouth Plymouth lido the beaches are all pebble but the Cawsand beach is finermore gritty but has much less seaweed so better for us with the kids. the Canteen at Maker Heights amazing breakfast and incredible views Mount Edgcumbe Thank you for hosting us!
Lesley
A really comfortable, well appointed cottage in a beautiful location.
Absolutely amazing property. So quirky and extremely comfortable. Loved it and will definitely return.
Carole
A very comfortable house which is well equipped. WE love coming to Kingsand and Cawsand and come every year. One small complaint the ensuite shower could be cleaner mould on the outside. Thank you for the scones which were delicious. WE may well book again for next year.
We were really impressed with the size of Garretts, especially the rooftop terrace which the photos do not give justice to at all! In fact, we think the property deserves some better photos as it exceeded our expectations massively! Overall we had a brilliant time and would certainly like to come back one day. The only negatives were that there was a dirty nappy in one of the bedroom bins when we arrived which we weren't expecting ! and there was a terrible smell of blocked drains coming from the main bathroom intermittently during the week. I did mention this to the kind cleaning staff when they arrived as we were checking out, just in case other guests also mention it. Perhaps there is some kind of blockage? Lastly, the washing machine tray that holds the powder etc is overgrown with mould and could do with a bit of a birthday! The teenagers with us loved the cinema room and we had fabulous chill out times up on the roof in thew sunshine and the kitchen was fabulously well equipped. Thank you.
It was a lovely house with plenty of space and attention to detail. It was well equipped with everything you need to make a stay memorable. The owner has obviously put a lot of time and effort into the place and this makes it really special. If I was being really picky, there was alot of cobwebs and a moldy teabag in the
Lesley
Lovely, well equipped house, in a great location.
A fantastic property and location. This holiday was one of my best in the UK yet. The house was located only 60 seconds from the beach, the pubs were the same distance and icecream and fish and chips a 3 minute walk. The property just kept on going! Bedroom after bedroom with little quirks and surprises. The cinema room was amazing and could not be heard from the other master bedrooms. We had a BBQ on the terrace where we felt really secluded, which I didnt expect. On the rainy day we lit the wood burning fire which was beautiful. And the dining room table became our favourite spot to talk about our adventures and play hours games. I would recommend a visit to the patisserie at the end of the road. They did the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had
This is a comfortable, surprisingly spacious house in a great location. The roof terrace is a real bonus and we felt spoilt having a cinema room. The downstairs is quite dark, but the house becomes infused with light the higher up you go. There is no outside space on the ground floor and a couple of the bedrooms might be unsuitable for people with mobility issues. Cawsand is one of our favourite holiday destinations and weve visited many times. I would say this property rates very highly compared to others.
Catrin
Just wonderful! Beautiful property in a lovely little fishing village. The house is huge and allows for plenty of space 8 adults and 2 dogs. House is so well equipped and comfortable. Would highly recommend.
Treesa
The beaches are all either pebbles or sandshingle, but very little sand, which should be made clearer. No good at all for sand castles, but throwing stones into the water, and paddleboarding excellent! The house was like a tardis, very narrow frontage but went way back and also up to the little roof terrace no sea view from there or anywhere, but not an issue as on the beaches or water all day!. Gas BBQ on terrace works, but not very big for 9 people. Very comfortable, well appointed house, convenient for all the pubs, the shops and beaches. Important to clarify that the two single bedrooms are on the top floor but one is via a narrow spiral staircase off the cinema so felt a bit cut off from all the other bedrooms. We moved the mattress to the other single for two kids for the duration which worked well. Accommodation is really for three couples or, as in our case, two couples, three kids in one bedroom, two sharing a double bed, and moving the mattress to make another bedroom of two singles, one on the floor. All but the upper double using the main bathroom. Downstairs loo with butler sink for rinsing swimmers etc excellent idea. Rubbish store off the kitchen, and no need to dispose of stuff ourselves was wonderful!
An exquisite cottage in beautiful Kingsand. Its like a Tardisonce inside rooms open onto room after room all great sizes. But the cinema room and roof garden really take some beating. A great deal of thought has gone into this refurbishment with each room tastefully furnished to a very high standard. I particularly loved the fact the old bread oven is still in situ in the kitchen, a testament to the days the cottage was once a bakery. The beds & sofas are super comfy too with log burners in the lounge & main bedroom adding to the coziness on a couple of chilly summer evenings. And with all that quaint Kingsand & Cawsand has to offer just a few steps away, you couldnt be better situated. We absolutely loved our stay here. I cant recommend it highly enough and cant wait to return.
A beautiful old converted bakers cottage situated in such a quaint area with all the winding streets. So much room for us as only 4 adults, 2 children and a dog. We only used 3 of the five bedrooms. All bedrooms were of a good size and tastefully decorated with very comfortable beds. Plenty of kitchen equipment if you want to just dine in and on cooler evenings the log fire was a nice touch. Our granddaughter loved the cinema room. The roof terrace was a bonus enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon sun. The only item not supplied was a hairdryer but all other needs well catered for. Small local beaches just a minute walk either way from the property and 4 local pubs serving nice food. The bakery next door does delicious breakfasts, breads etc but ensure you preorder pizza's a few days before as they sell out quickly and sadly we missed out. The manager of property Paul was very helpful and contacted prior to our visit to ensure we had full directions and answer any queries we might have. I would highly recommend this cottage for a great stay.
