“Beautiful immaculate cottage”

“Great location to explore N.”

Cornwall coast, well equipped, clean and comfortable. However, we were disappointed there was no basic welcome pack on arrival after a long drive. The oven was difficult to operate, despite following the instructions in the folder and the manual. TV was rather small with poor quality picture. Could benefit from a light on the patio, for sitting out in the evenings.

- Lynette, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to review our property and we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in Cornwall. We’re sorry you found the oven tricky - we’ll definitely look to re-word the instructions in the folder for future users. Property Owner

Gopali July 2023

“Lovely neat neat little cottage that served our purposes perfectly.”

Only because it has been so carefully maintained would I like to mention these few suggestions.1) we never found any wooden spoons/cooking utensils. 2) the saucepans, hiding in a very concealed drawer under the oven were not obvious either and I had to call the company to find them. 3) the decking and fencing in the garden area, while very practical, could be made more attractive, a few colourful flowers, hydrangeas or something, would make all the difference. Equally, if the rear fence was lowered to afford more of a view, I think it would be an improvement. But overall a wonderful find and I would certainly consider a repeat stay.

- Gopali, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Shrimper's Cottage and appreciate your comments. I am sorry that you did not find the wooden spoons and the saucepans, in Brand we had the information regarding the items' whereabouts to put into the property but we neglected to do this. We are very sorry that you could not locate them. This information is now in the property to point guests in the right direction for these items. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Second year at Shrimpers Cottage and it was as good as the first time, will definitely try and book this property again when we decide on our next Cornwall holiday.”

The location is convenient for either walking or driving to the various beaches and attractions in the area and the facilities in the property are excellent with a high level of cleanliness and comfort. One observation, the street lighting makes the bedrooms very bright so blackout blinds or curtains would make for a better nights sleep.

- Derrick, June 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future! We will pass your recommendations onto the owner. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Jane April 2023

“Think the owner would like to know that the extractor fan wasn’t working in the bathroom.”

Also a mirror in the main bedroom to dry your hair at would be good but just used the one in my daughters bedroom . But this is very, very minor comment. Cottage was great, excellent facilities, everything you could ask for and need. Welcome pack was lovely. Very clean and comfortable.

- Jane, April 2023

Thank you for the positive feedback &we do appreciate you letting us know about the extractor fan. It was working for us during Feb half term but must now need fixing - so we’ll get that sorted. Property Owner
Rishi October 2022

“A great, well kept, comfortable cottage in an excellent location.”

We had a wonderful stay at explored Rock, Port Isaac, Polzeath, Padstow, Newquay amongst others during our stay. All very accessible. An excellent base to explore Cornwall. The only slight panic we had was in locating the key box in the front , which might be a challenge for those arriving in the dark or with a slight knee issue. Otherwise, a great little place to enjoy Cornwall.

- Rishi, October 2022

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay at our cottage & are grateful for the feedback. We looked to relocate the lock box, but having stayed at the property you’ll appreciate that there are limited options for a discreet location. Property Owner
Jo September 2022

“Nice welcome basket, but main bedroom pretty tiny, so hard to get around the bed given door placement, and mattress getting a bit lumpy.”

also bit dusty/dirty in places. our main gripe is we left an electrical item behind, and contacted them same day we left to try to arrange its prompt return. very limited follow-up and information given. after chasing them 3 times was finally told 13 days later the item wasnt found. we csnt be the first people to leave items behind. poor service which leaves a bit of a sour taste

- Jo, September 2022

We’re glad you enjoyed the welcome basket at our cottage but sorry to read that the cleaners didn’t find the electrical item that you left. We completely appreciate your frustration & thank you for your time to provide feedback. Property Owner
Derrick September 2022

“Very nice small cottage in an excellent location for us, as it was convenient for coastal and Country walks, and close to Rock and Padstow.”

- Derrick, September 2022

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay at Shrimper's cottage. It's great to hear that you had a great stay and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornwall coastline from. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Gill September 2022

“Good base to explore where we wanted to go when visiting Cornwall, Cottage very clean and comfortable.”

Had everything needed for a self catering holiday. Quiet area so pleasant stay. Nice local pub to eat in. Would recommend. We did find the key safe low for us and struggled to get to it but apart from that everything was perfect for are needs.

- Gill, September 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback - it’s always lovely to read. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay at Shrimper’s and pleased to hear that you’d recommend it to others. Property Owner
Cherida July 2022

“Lovely cosy cottage in really excellent location.”

Very clean and well presented. Really lovely outdoor space which we enjoyed when our young son napped in the afternoons. Only negative was TV signal was very poor- only able to get 1 channel- didn’t cause us too much of an issue though as weather was good and we were out a lot. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Cherida, July 2022

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and are sorry to hear you’ve not had much luck with the TV. I know that the remote has to be aimed directly at the TV to change the channels (so a bit sensitive) but there are definitely the basic channels - alongside the option of Netflix. Property Owner
David June 2022

“Comfortable, very clean, well equipped and maintained property, thank-you.”

The location is perfect for walks, cycling and driving. Cycle trail to Polzeath is close by and we enjoyed the Rock Bakery! Parking is compact but great to have safe parking off road at the front of the property.

- David, June 2022

Thank you for the positive feedback and taking time to review the property - it is much appreciated. Property Owner
Jackie May 2022

“A lovely property, finished to a very high standard.”

Really appreciated the Smart TV and wifi as well cooking facilities. Lovely shower too! Our only problem, being pensioners, was the outside key safe being so very low to the ground (we had problems bending down to it! :) But, overall 10 out of 10 for this lovely property

- Jackie, May 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us at Shrimper's Cottage. We apologise that you found it hard to access the key safe! Property Owner

The property

St Minver 0.9 miles. Shrimper's Cottage is a lovely three-bedroom cottage located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the village of Tredrizzick, just a short drive from Rock Beach. This Cornish cottage, with its mix of country and seaside, is ideal for a family of four looking for a self-catering getaway. Before entering your new home from home, park on the driveway or in the garage; discover the sitting room with a plush sofa to relax on while the Smart TV entertains you. When you walk through the house, look for the contemporary kitchen/diner, which has pale grey cabinets and an electric oven and hob; when meals are ready, gather around the dining table to eat. When the weather is shining, head out into the terrace garden, which is attractively presented with mature tropical plants, and relax on the decked area with a glass of wine while taking in the scenery. As the day turns to night, come inside and climb the steps up to the shower room to freshen up, before choosing between a king-size, single, or a 2’6 single bedroom. Get a greater sense of your surroundings by taking a picturesque vehicle ride to Rock Beach, a long sandy beach where you can relax with a book or go swimming in the clear waters. If that's not your thing, tee up at the steep St Enodoc Golf Club. Visit Polzeath, a little community with fantastic surfing conditions and a surf school where you can receive your dream board, or Padstow, which has eccentric shops and a variety of restaurants. Port Isaac, a fishing community, is also worth a visit, where you can take in some culture at the Cliffside Gallery, eat fresh seafood with a view, and relax in the tiny cove of Port Gaverne Beach. Shrimper's Cottage is the place to go if you want to make lasting memories with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
