Beautiful Spot!
Publié le 24 août 2024 sur HomeAwayThis is the second time we have stayed at Quarryside. It’s a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. The walk through the garden to the beach is gorgeous and we loved spotting all the different butterflies. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. Thank you for keeping it so traditional, please don’t ever change it!

peaceful
Publié le 17 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayReally enjoyed our stay
Property probably not updated since 1950s/1960s although kitchen does have the essentials - a much loved family home belonging initially to the grandparents
Lovely peaceful position with a short walk through pretty valley to the private beach

Gentle Jane
Publié le 2 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayI had a dream that she took my hand
And led me to a far off land
A path laid down a dewey hill
Which opened on a land so still
An ancestral plot so green and full
It took my breath to see this jewel
Plants and trees from around the earth
Laid out and chosen for future mirth
She sat me down in this fair glade
And cherries, apples, plums she laid
Between the white poplar and the cabbage tree
We ate our fruits to the song of the sea
As twilight fell she bid me come
To sit beneath the Tasmanian blue gum
We watched as the bats swooped down to feed
Upon the wild cherries and the apple trees
The tide was out so far in the estuary
She led me deeper into the mystery
It was as though we were upon the moon
As we frolicked and ran over the dunes
Though suddenly the darkness fell
And it was as though she had cast a spell
A deeper magic came in with the tide
And I knew I had found my place to hide
I waded back to the slate beach
And Gentle Jane to me did teach
A truth to which I now do need
That nature is all we truly need.

Cosy and quiet stay in a family heirloom
Publié le 29 août 2023 sur HomeAwayWe found the cottage a cosy and peacful place to stay. Its unusual in that it has been kept full of 90 years of family memorabilia, photos, books and nick nacks. Personally I loved this aspect and imagining all the accompanying stories but if you want a modern minimalist holiday home this isnt it. I felt a lot of effort had been made to keep the house clean which because of the age and amount of stuff must be difficult to maintain. There was a slight mustyness to some of the rooms but this wasnt a problem for us. Everyone had good 4G phone signal. We had some beautiful sunny evenings having BBQs, swimming and paddle boarding on the estuary, the lovely woods, wild garden and beach made this a very special place to stay.

Wonderful
Publié le 5 août 2023 sur HomeAwayBeautiful, comforable, bungalow. Like stepping into a cherished memory. A walk down the lush garden brings you to a slate beach on the camel estuary where we swam, baorded, skimmed, frisbeed, watched waterskiers, sat and watched sunsets and bats. There was even a resident oil beetle on top lawn. The most perfect May week away. Thank you 💙

Timeless magic
Publié le 22 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayAn Ode to Gentle Jane
Coming down the lane
My heart lurches in anticipation of the gain
I shall feel in leaning into this place again
Oh dear sweet Gentle Jane lure me into your quiet embrace again
All life’s blames and pains
Are washed away in the salty mane
Of wise and Gentle Jane
Oh dear sweet Gentle Jane lure me into your quiet embrace again
I don’t deign to feign great pain
But like most men I am vain and struggle to stay sane
Here my woes are eased and tamed
In the whispering of old pears, of plum trees and rain
Oh dear sweet Gentle Jane lure me into your quiet embrace again
In this garden, by these shores I light a fire and watch the moon wane
I watch the moonscape emerge as the tide ebbs away with my shame
A simplicity is bestowed upon me as I simply say her name
Oh dear sweet Gentle Jane lure me into your quiet embrace again

Extremely Dirty. Left after 3 days. Not an experience we wish to repeat.
Publié le 24 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayThe musty smell hits you as you walk in the door and it only gets worse. Obvious signs of damp and the painting over of it can be seen in various places and this is clearly the reason for the smell. We left early because I developed a chest problem and we just couldn’t take the dirt and grime anymore. We thought we could manage this as we stayed away from the bungalow all day and only returned late at night to sleep, but we should have turned around the very first day and walked out. At least the bed linen seemed clean even if the beds and mattresses are very old and uncomfortable. The dirt is worst of all in the bathroom and kitchen and it really is appalling. I took photos hoping I could upload them with my review but that isn’t possible. Watch out for electrical shocks from the kettle too! The switch cover is missing which means it’s open to the touch and its lamp and electrical wires are exposed. Clearly a safety hazard. The cooker is at least 70 years old and the furniture is of a similar age and there isn‘t a comfortable seat in the house. In response to my informing the owner/property manager that we had vacated the property early she simply responded by saying ‘older properties in Cornwall can be a little musty.’ Really? So you knew? Then state that in your advertising so prospective guests also know that upfront and can make a rental decision based on that information! Overall an experience we have never been confronted with in over 40 years of traveling.

Dear Stephen
Thank you for your comments, we are very sorry you were not happy with your stay.
Quarryside is advertised as a traditional cottage situated in a unique location in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The owners of the property have taken care to maintain the original features as they feel it is more in keeping with this period of property and location. Visitors appreciate the uniqueness and style of Quarryside in such a tranquil situation. The owners have also kept the tariff competitive in comparison to the area average.
However, complaints are taken seriously and any shortfalls in housekeeping would be dealt with immediately if reported to us. We were not given an opportunity to attend, as we were only made aware of your complaint when you left after four nights. Normally complaints are reported within 24 hours of arrival.
With regard to the kettle that would have been replaced immediately if we had been made aware of it.
We are sorry your holiday did not meet your expectations.
With kind regards
Rosina

Bliss
Publié le 3 sept. 2022 sur HomeAwayA beautiful haven of calm and quietude. An archival slice of heaven frozen in time. This place is for the poet not the perfectionist. We adored it more than we can say. Thank you.
