Minack Theatre is 28 km from Folly Farm Cottage, Cosy, Secluded near to St Ives, while Lizard Lighthouse & Heritage Centre is 44 km from the property. The nearest airport is Land's End Airport, 25 km from the accommodation.

The cottage is very warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and super comfy. We felt very safe because the cottage smelled nice, had great insulation, and the wonderfull hosts just across the road for any help or advice. There's a bus stop for the Land's end coaster just around the corner, and we have used it to get to and from hikes on the South-West coast path.

    It had everything we needed for our break - fridge, iron, hanging space for clothes and spacious kitchen/living room. The walk downhill into town takes you through some character streets with lovely cottages and houses.

    I don’t think you can ask for a better location than this. Cabin is very cozy - small (like an old fisherman’s quarters) but so comfortable. Really well done up and you have everything you need including fridge/freezer/cooker/utensils. Even a couple of chairs and a table so we could sit outside and enjoy the view. The owner has thought of everything. We really enjoyed the studio. Matt called us before we arrived and gave us great instructions.

    The Cabin is not on the hotel site but that for us was a good thing. others may disagree. It was spacious and cosy and Carbis bay had gone a long way to ensure our stay was really nice and gave us all sort of creature comforts not afforded in the main hotel rooms. For myself and my wife we very much enjoyed it with excellent access to the bus and train into St Ives. I would give it 11/10 had it not been for the bed so its gets 9, and I really wanted to give it full marks.

    The location was in the countryside area of St Ives, very peaceful surrounded with greens and wildlife, very closed driving distance from: - the UNA SPA including sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and pool - the Trink Dairy farm producting their own milk and butter David and Jackie were amazing hosts. The kitchenette was great with 4 plate hobs enabling to cook our own dishes. The cottage was nice, comfortable, warm and quiet. We will certainely book again...hopefully very soon.

    The owners were very friendly and helpful. There was a beautiful garden with roses in a very peaceful location. Idyllic old-fashioned cottage with an atmosphere. The room was cozy and clean and the breakfast was superb with classical music included served in a sunshiny garden-facing dining room. Really ideal for a relaxing holiday.

    What a lovely cottage! Right on the sea, with beach across the road, lovely location walking distance to all tourist attractions. Easy to book, easy to check in, every amenity you would need in a holiday cottage was available here and nice and clean as well. Friendly and helpful host too, answering any questions before or during the stay. Very comfortable beds, nice big fridge/freezer, and a big wardrobe in the main bedroom to hang clothes. Lots of mains electric points for charging electronics. Very comfortable and relaxing stay!
