Fantastisches Landhaus mit Meerblick

Dear guests: Please do not ignore the travel directions that are sent to you. We take time and trouble to ensure accuracy and to ensure your safe arrival. It always makes sense to familiarise yourself with the cottage appearance before traveling so that you can easily recognise the cottage on arrival - there are plenty of photos available on the website, some specifically detailing the front door. Every guest receives details of the key safe which is for your exclusive benefit.It is very simple to use and in perfect working order. This review mentions a shower curtain which is strange because the cottage does not have a shower. We are fortunate in that the vast majority of guests report high levels of comfort in all regards with this cottage. However, during colder periods we can expect some condensation on the windows. The cottage is well ventilated dispelling moisture quickly. Please be aware that this cottage dates back to the 16th century. This is not a modern property; it is a traditional Cornish cottage which was neither built nor designed to be a sealed, sterile dwelling. Built in the days when fishing was a life priority it is a living, breathing piece of history with flagstone floors, beams, wood-burning stove and thick, solid stone walls. This unique cottage is packed full with character and charm which our discerning guests love; returning year after year.

Thanks for being great guests Kerstin. I'm so pleased you had a good time in the cottage and Cornwall. Thank you for letting me know about the pans. Will do. Tim.

I am not so sure that "price/performance ratio analysis" lends itself particularly well to a 16th century fisherman's cottage in rural Cornwall. A manufacturing process or perhaps even a concrete box villa on the Med maybe, but its use in this instance is a little odd. Just in case I have missed something in translation or in German culture I copy below, by way of stark comparison, an email received from the German guests who stayed during one of the weeks immediately prior......... "Dear Tim, I've been meaning to write to you ever since we got back from our wonderful Cornish holiday at the beginning of June - but I never got around to it. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your lovely cottage and the beautiful and superb location of Crackington Haven with the rest of the world, and in this case: with us! :-) We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and felt very much at home at Trevean Cottage. The place was really nice and cozy, and our two boys simply loved their bedroom, the garden, the books and games - everything, in fact. Thanks for providing towels and thanks to Lee for doing our laundry. I felt a little bad in the end with the storm washing up the mud and the shower breaking - I hope you won't remember us as the "Germans who wrecked the place"... Cornwall, too, was wonderful! We explored the walk through the woods down to the beach that you described and the kids loved the two pigs and the pixie's path and the flowers and the solitude - it was perfect. Crackington Haven, Bude, Boscastle, Padstow... we saw it all and didn't want to leave. Also, thanks for giving the tip about Trebarwith Strand. That was simply stunning! We're actually thinking of coming back next May (or maybe September). I already checked - it's still available. So, if you'll have us, we might be back soon. ;-) One question, out of pure curiosity: What does "Trevean" mean? In any case - thanks again for everything! Enjoy your summer! Kind regards, Annika"
