WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING...

“Lovely cute little cottage perfect for a couple - high quality towels, great bed and everything you would need. Sun in the little back patio with a glass of wine was perfect. Would stay again - St Just is a great location for experiencing a bit of the real Cornwall”

Philip – July 2024

“The cottage was pristinely clean, very comfortable, and within steps of the main square. The outside is lovelier than the pictures suggest, quite private and sunny in the afternoon. And a very comfortable bed! Highly recommend.”

Joanna – June 2024 

“Really lovely end of terrace cottage in great location for walking. All as described, clean and well facilitated. The town centre is only minutes away with plenty of galleries, coffee shops, pubs and a well-stocked co-op!”

“Very impressed with the attention to comfort and detail - beautifully presented cottage, very cosy, great location 2 minutes’ walk from shops, pubs etc in St Just. Short walk to the Coast Path, and easy access to buses. Thank you.”

Brian – March 2024 

“Have to say it was a pleasure from start to finish… I am instructed, by my mother who came with me, to book again in the new year asap. A great idea. St Just has all you need. Three pubs, one with a terrific beer garden, chip shop, post office and of course Clemos, the shop that has everything. Butcher, greengrocer and a couple more eateries… best of all The Dog & Rabbit Cafe… Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Priests Cove lovely place to sit and think and to watch the sun go down… Suited us perfectly. See you again soon…”
