CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR GLOSTER COTTAGE

The customer feedback below is taken from the Visitor Book left in Gloster Cottage and is shown exactly as it appears.

Emma and Dave from SE London 16/5/04 - Staying in Gloster Cottage

We had such a lovely holiday, can't wait to come back. The cottage is the best we've ever stayed at. We particularly loved the garden and views. Very comfortable, we wanted for nothing. Thank you. Sad to go home.

Huw and Heather Thomas from Watford 2.1.05 - Staying in Gloster Cottage

This is an exquiste cottage - the best in which we have had the pleasure in staying. For lovers of beautiful views, Kynance Bay and Lizard are worth the trek - believe us! The Paris Hotel (named after the S.S. Paris which ran aground here in 1899) gave us a warm welcome and is worth visiting - their food is also easily above the usual pub standard.

The Short family from Aynho, Oxon. Staying in Gloster Cottage 15-29th May 2005.

We have stayed in various cottages in and around Coverack and this has been a favourite, not least for it's fantastic position. The children have loved to wake up and see the boats from their bedroom window. We have enjoyed many places already mentioned - our recommendation is Cream Tea (with strawberries!) at the Grange Fruit Farm outside Gweek.

Jo, David & Molly from Surrey. Staying in Gloster Cottage 17-24 July 2005.

Gloster Cottage is the most Luxurious that we have stayed in and yet really homely. I particularly loved sitting in the kitchen, David particularly loved watching the boats and as for Molly....we thought that we were going to have to take the basket of toys home & are not sure if she'll cope not having a playground at the bottom of the garden.

Rob, Sue, Joshua and Rowen from Sheffield. Staying in Gloster Cottage 2nd - 9th April 2006.

What a wonderful holiday! We all had the best time ever - After 27 years of holidays in Cornwall we have found one of the best cottages ever. Now we are off to Christmas Cottage for the 1st time - oh!! What bliss. Thank you for your gem in Cornwall. Yours The Parkers.

The Daldry family from East Bergholt. Staying at Gloster Cottage 27th May - 2nd June 2007.

We have had yet another relaxing week in Coverack. We love what you have done to the bathroom! Hope to come again next year for our 16th year in Coverack! Thank youxx

Simon & Sue from Swansea. Staying at Gloster Cottage 9th - 16th June 2007.

Wonderful week. We've been to Coverack to visit on previous occasions-but you need to stay to appreciate what a magical and tranquil place it is. The cottage was great with character and wonderful views. Late evening walks around the bay were memorable. Good food and a fine welcome in both the Life Boat and The Paris! We'll be coming again. Thank you.

The Evans Family. Staying at Gloster Cottage 27th July - 10th August 2008.

We've had a wonderful time here - we adore Coverack - have been many times. Thank you for your lovely cottage - absolutely wonderful location.

The Sears Family from Tavistock in Devon. Staying at Gloster Cottage 21st - 28th September 2008.

Beautiful cottage. Very very presented and clean on arrival. We had a fantastic holiday, the sun shone all week. Cornwall is the best. Thank you so much. See you again next year.

James & Katy from Bristol. Staying at Gloster Cottage 7th - 14th December 2008.

A perfect get away on the run up to Christmas. This place will always have a place in our hearts as Katy agreed to marry me!! Thank you.

The Earle Family from Essex. Staying at Gloster Cottage 15th - 22nd February 2009.

We've had a wonderful week - a warm. cosy cottage in a perfect spot - a great look-out for the boat coming in for us to buy Crab and Monkfish! We would certainly reccomend: Elizabeth's pasties & cakes, fish night at The Wave, The Paris, Trebah Gardens, The Eden Project and loads more. This is our second consecutive Feb half term in Coverack and we'll be back again for sure. Many Thanks.

Nick & Mimi from London. Staying in Gloster Cottage 7th - 14th March 2009.

Had a great time peaceful and quiet, lovely views and great walks.

Chris, Sophie, Ben & Georgia from Devon. Staying in Gloster Cottage 5th - 12th April 2009.

We've had a fantastic week in this lovely cottage - and in such a beautiful area. Enjoyed some lovely fresh crab from the harbour and great walks along the coast - and lots of beach trips, didn't expect that over Easter. Thank you.

Peter, Laura and William (21 months) from Bath. Staying at Gloster Cottage 12th - 19th April 2009.

This was our fifth holiday in Coverack. The choice of Gloster Cottage was somewhat "forced upon us" by The Little Ship, a previous haunt of ours, being unavailable this week. Nonetheless Gloster has impressed us with it's comfortable lounge, wonderful views from the bedrooms and delightful, sunny garden and is currently favourite to be the base for next year's holiday.

The Drake family. Staying at Gloster Cottage 12 - 19th July 2009.

When the gales blow and the rain beats down (as happened a lot this week) Gloster Cottage is a comfortable haven, and in all weather we think this corner of Cornwall is best! Thank you for making us feel so welcome once again. Great news! The repaired and reburbished Life Boat House has just re-opened and still deserves it's reputation for the best fish and chips on The Lizard.

The Marshall family. Staying at Gloster Cottage 26th July - 2nd August 2009.

We really had a lovely week. Thanks for all your advance information. We really loved The Minack Theatre (tickets from Robin, otherwise sold out), fish and chips from The Life Boat House delicious. General surroundings and scenery fabulous. The cottage is really cosy with every comfort thought of. Back garden so peaceful. We also enjoyed a fascinating afternoon at The Levant Mine.

The Phillips family from York. Staying at Gloster Cottage 9th - 16th August 2009.

We have had a wonderful relaxed week in a part of Cornwall we had not been to before. Coverack is the perfect village and Gloster Cottage and ideal base. We can recommend chips from The Old Lifeboat House and Roskilly ice creams from Archies Loft. The treasure trail from The Old Mill Stores is fun too. Look forward to coming back again, and again.

The Beaumont family from Lancashire. Staying at Gloster Cottage 16th - 23rd August 2009.

Another fabulous week in Coverack! The weather has been great which has made everything even more beautiful. Jumping off the harbour wall was exhilarating for a 7 year old and an adrenaline rush for a 40+. Give it a go! Kynance Cove at low - mid tide is amazing and Kennack Sands is the best place for waves around here. Will definately be back again!ooxxoo

The Swallow family from Somerset. Staying at Gloster Cottage 23rd - 30th August 2009.

We have really enjoyed our time here - most of it spent on the beach. Gloster cottage is a pretty, cosy and well equipped place. The decor is lovely and the attention to detail appreciated. We enjoyed the 'welcome' cream tea and loved the cosy towels and luxurious robes - thank you. I think we'll be back.

The Magrath family from West Sussex. Staying at Gloster Cottage 30th August - 6th September 2009.

Thanks we were very comfortable in the cottage and in spite of the cooler weather enjoyed Coverack, sea, surf, sands, swimming and horseriding in the area. Everyone in the village and area has been very friendly.

Rob & Christine from Hampshire. Staying at Gloster Cottage 20th - 27th September 2009.

Stunning location for a 'staycation'. Weather terrific. Food in The Paris recommended.

Rita & Terry from Bristol. Staying at Gloster Cottage 27th September - 4th October 2009.

Back for our second year. Gloster Cottage and Coverack never disappoints.A lovely place to spend my 63rd birthday and our Ruby Wedding. Thanks for the cream tea.

The Trewin family from Hampshire. Staying at Gloster Cottage 4th - 11th October 2009.

What a gem of a cottage thank you so much........Would love to come back next year for some more sleep - has been restful here xx

Ella (6.5), Rob (39) & Lynne (35) from Hampshire. Staying at Gloster Cottage 25th October - 1st November 2009.

We have had a lovely time in Coverack in Gloster Cottage. Me and daddy went to the swings nearly everyday. I enjoyed the view from the window because I can see the sea and the harbour. I went for lots of walks and lots of ice creams.

Melissa, Dave & Isaac. Staying in Gloster Cottage 21st -28th October 2009.

Like everyone who is lucky enough to stay here we had a magical time. It rained, but it didn't matter. We watched crashing waves at Kynance Cove, we peeked at Camels and no-one else was there, we got splahed by a naughty wave, we heard a brass band & saw fireworks in Helston. father Christmas landed in a helicopter in the playground behind. The tide came in and went out. We laughed & now it's time to go. Wonderful. Thank you for your personal touches that meant so much! x

The Cobb family. Staying at Gloster Cottage 4th - 6th December 2009.

Just a lovely weekend! The cottage felt like home from home - thank you! Just not long enough - We'll have to come back, particularly as Daddy missed out! Christmas in Coverack seems like great fun!

Wes, Helen, Laura & Tom. Staying at Gloster Cottage 20th - 27th December 2009.

A superb week. Set off brillaintly by the attention to detail preparing this beautiful cottage. The swimming on Christmas morning was rather "nippy" but nevertheless great fun! Thanks for a fantastic week:-)

The Legg's. Staying at Gloster Cottage 14th - 18th February 2010.

Fab cottage everything jus right. The back garden is such a magical delight our daughter loved the park "by the sea". So many lovely walks from the cottage and around Helford. Thoroughly reccomend the food at Trengilly Wartha near Constantine, only about 15-20 minutes away, cutting through pretty Gweek. Thank you so much for all the special touches. p.s. Also really good fish at Polpeor cafe on Lizard Point, with sublime sea views.
