“Lovely, welcoming clean cottage.”

Hot taps in bathroom loose, curtain rail loose & slight damage to sofa front leg in saying that, a lovely week in a tastefully decorated, clean cottage with everything thought of. Thank you. Very good local pub with friendly people.

“Flintstone cottage was adorable.”

The bed and sofa were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped . The shower was powerful. A lovely sized fridge freezer for our fortnight's stay. However, a few things would have made our 2 weeks stay better..... Clean bedding for the second week, the rotary washing line was broken and unusable, we did have a power cut and the torch provided was totally inadequate. There was no mop and cleaning materials provided. Just these small things would have made our stay perfect, but on the whole we really enjoyed staying in your cottage, thank you

“The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the cottage was lovely.”

The bathroom was a good size though there was a small leak coming from the pipework connecting the taps to the sink. There were great views of the sea from the bedroom windows and the bed was amazingly comfortable. Loads of storage too. A really cute cottage and nice to have the welcome pack of milk, scones, jam and cream. Much appreciated. Lots of areas to sit outside at the front and good to have parking. As others reviews have mentioned it's quite difficult pulling out on to the road as you can't see what's coming. The bus stop is just across the road. Pendeen is very small and quiet but has all you need and was exactly what we were looking for. Great location for walking SW coast path. We had a lovely stay and couldn't fault the cottage.

“We’ve just come back from a week at Flintstone cottage.”

The cottage was clean and comfortable. Nice area for walking and close for Penzance and st Ives. Nice 2 mile walk to the sea. Shower is not at all powerful, that was the only down side, although the property has a bee issue. We were hoovering daily and we had dead bees on the floor in the morning. We managed to remove them to outside when we saw them during the day. Very good internet connection. Food waste goes in a food waste bin and the recycled rubbish in a clear bag, and into the dustbin. There were no clear bags at the property for this, so we had to improvise. I would stay there again.

“Our stay was great thank you, nothing we were left wanting for, everything was covered!”

We did struggle to find the property initially, would be my only constructive (if I can call it so) 'criticism', the sign was a little hard to see from the direction we approached. But that was minor!! Really appreciated the scones and milk etc upon arrival. Lovely stay, cottage well furnished and equipped, good location, would stay again :))

“I would highly recommend a stay at Flintstone Cottage in Pendeen.”

A beautiful cottage which date's back to 1820. The renovation to the cottage is in keeping with the style, the facilities are very modern with a bath and power shower the kitchen has everything you need to prepare food., The lounge has a flat screen TV with free view and fast WiFi. You will not be disappointed with your stay the village is beautiful the neighbours are very friendly and there is a dog walking field just across the road.

“A lovely little cottage, especially the sitting room with nice furnishings and the bathroom.”

Very clean which is much appreciated. Good wifi connection, lots of hot water, good kitchen, easy to park. The welcome scones, milk etc was a very nice touch. The location is very good for this lovely part of Cornwall. Our only minor suggestions are some well attached hooks for clothes in the bathroom and vestibule and mention that the mattress has memory foam.

“Flinstones cottage was as advertised.”

Small and compact but everything we needed. Very comfortable and clean. Location was superb. Opposite the dog field was very handy, spectacular views too. 3 very friendly local pubs, close to amenities and perfect place to explore a cracking part of Cornwall. In fact, I think my husband and I have left a little bit of our heart back in Pendeen. Would highly recommend.

“The cottage was lovely and a perfect base for our holiday.”

Everything was comfortable and very clean.

“We had a lovely week at Flintstone Cottage.”

It is ideally situated for visiting the beautiful coastline and beaches of the Lands End and Lizard peninsulas. Local to the cottage is a good pub and a useful mini supermarket. The cottage is situated on a main road, but it was not too busy or noisy (could be busier in peak season I guess) and pulling out of the drive took care. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable. It is small but big enough for the two of us and our dog.

“Absolutely lovely cottage, very well stocked with all essentials & a lovely welcome pack (Thank you).”

Only drawback was the narrow stairway to the bedroom, difficult to get the cases up! Shower Head also needs a little TLC as it kept falling off the holder. I would recommend the cottage for a couple who like to get out & about. Love the little garden at the front (we were blessed with good weather). Pendeen has lots to offer (3 pubs) & beautiful scenery if you walk to the Lighthouse. Central to most areas of interest.

“This property is very small but is adequate for 2 and nicely decorated.”

The refrigerator is not quite big enough for those that like to get a few meals to have in, but ok for a couple of drinks, milk, butter etc. and there is a separate tiny freezer. The bed felt a bit lumpy and soft but that might be a matter of opinion, ie. We like firm mattresses. Great shower. We were pleasantly surprised with how well connected this cottage was with buses and things to do locally. In season every hour £5 all day Coaster bus or fast bus to Penzance. Fabulous.

Lydia July 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flintstone cottage, it had everything that we needed and was close to everywhere that we wanted to visit.”

The local village was lovely with a few pubs and a shop in walking distance which was nice. When staying in Cornwall again I would definitely return!

- Lydia, July 2022
Florice June 2022

“At the beginning of the welcome sheet says, ' our cottage is very old and the stairs are very steep' this combined with the bathroom being on the ground floor neither of which is mentioned in the information given prior to booking.”

this would be importand the older person booking the cottage. We noted a previous comment about parking difficulties but carried on with the booking, the entrance is on a slight bend in the road which is on a bus route and very busy at certain times of the day you need a second person to guide you out. The village is friendly and the North Inn can be recommended.

Tim April 2022

“The cottage had all the facilities that you would require when on holiday - however it also had a lot of decorative items / cushions and kitchen equipment that was over the top for a holiday cottage.”

The courtyard was a nice place to sit in the sun and enjoy a cuppa and watch the world go by.

- Tim, April 2022
Alison March 2022

“Lovely clean and well equipped accommodation.”

Brilliant area for walking and exploring. Good local pubs providing delicious food and drink. We both enjoyed a relaxing stay.

“As we have been to Pendeen before we had no trouble finding the cottage.”

It is lovely, very well kept, spotlessly clean and everything you would need. It was great being in such a central location and brilliant for the dog.

Anita October 2021

“Flinstone Cottage was the perfect stay for us.”

The Village was quiet . Perfect location for meeting up with our son in Pendeen. Fantastic walks. Great base for sightseeing. Would definitely stay again.

Lisa September 2021

“Lovely quaint very well equipped cottage with everything you need .”

In a lovely location easy to get the coast . Lovely walks and local pubs for a bite to eat after a long day . Would highly recommend a stay here .

“Flintstone Cottage was the perfect base for us.”

It was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. It was just right for us as a couple, with our dog and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

“I have sent a letter regarding this property, As stated this property is not safe for people such as ourselves (82 Years old).”

It should also be correctly advertised,I read nowhere that the property is on the main road and therefore very noisy. It would be nice also polite to comments on it.

- Adrian, June 2021
Keith June 2021

“The existing online photo for Flintstone cottage needs updating as the driveway shown is now reduced for parking due to the inclusion of a shed, small fencing etc, and due to this, the off road parking mentioned is restricted.”

Also very difficult to reverse onto the busy man main road without guidance due to blindspots from the wall. The cottage is well equipped although the fridge is VERY small. Unfortunately when we arrived the cottage had a very strong smell of cigarettes which stayed with us both downstairs and in the bedroom throughout our 7 night stay, which wasn't at all pleasant, and we can only assume the smell was left from the previous occupants (we know the smell wasn't from the use of the wood burner as we have one ourselves). Also feel the online description should state the cottage is only suitable for one small size dog only.

“Flinstone Cottage is a delightful cottage , perfect for us 2 and our dog.”

So convenient for the coastal footpath and public transport if you wish to take the bus to go further afield. The cottage was homely and immaculate with a quaint garden , completely secure . We love West Penwith and would not hesitate to return to Flinstone Cottage.

- Gillian, May 2021

“A lovely little cottage.”

Well equipped and with nice touches. However, the lounge was exceedingly cold and unbearable unless the fire was lit.

- Anita, May 2021

Thank you for leaving your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed Flintstone Cottage. The electric heating (by the wall under the stairs) should come on every day and is thermostatically controlled. It doesn't take long to heat up the small space. There are instructions for turning the thermostat up in the guest information folder at the property and it should be quite user friendly. We would have been pleased to help you with this had you contacted us during your stay. Property Owner

The property

Resting in the picturesque village of Pendeen Cornwall lies Flintstone Cottage, a cosy, stylish one-bedroom retreat, ideal for a couple to explore the delights of the Cornish coast.

Offering sea views and off-road parking, this abode is the perfect base for a relaxing break.

Stepping into the property, the contemporary-style sitting room invites you to snuggle up on the plush sofa and watch the TV in front of the woodburning stove after a day of discovering your surroundings.

Moving through the property, the well-equipped kitchen hosts every amenity for your self-catering requirements throughout your stay and a lovely cafetiere for your morning coffee, while the dining seating provides a space to enjoy some delicious meals and plan the day ahead.

Retire to the mezzanine bedroom, home to a plush double, ample storage for you to unpack your belongings and a fantastic view over the coastline, breathing air into the space for a tranquil rest.

Guests will also benefit from a ground floor bathroom, home to a bath where you can soak in the bubbles after a day at the beach as well as a walk-in shower, a basin and WC, where you can prepare for the next day of adventures.

Making your way outside, the courtyard features seating and a barbecue, where you can enjoy a glass of wine and a spot of alfresco dining while taking in the views of this gorgeous landscape.

If you don't fancy cooking one evening, local eateries include Maria Chica café for takeaways or the Trewellard Arms for tasty pub lunch.

Pendeen Lighthouse, Geevor Tin Mine, Penlee House and Gallery Museum and The Exchange Gallery, make for a lovely day out uncovering a wealth of culture.

There are a plethora of sandy beaches and rocky coves and clifftops for you to explore, while inland the gentle microclimate allows gardens to thrive; why not visit the exotic plants and trees in Morrab Gardens or head to the National Trust run Trengwainton Gardens.

Branching out to Mousehole, an enchanting fishing port and village, you will discover its pretty harbour resting on the shores of Mount's Bay, as well as offering a number of galleries and coasteering activities.

Make a trip to Land's End, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country and the most south-westerly point in Britain; here you can marvel at the granite clifftops and gaze over the Celtic Sea and English Channel's meeting point.

Return year after year to Flintstone Cottage for a splendid retreat to Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
