The bedroom has a new king size pillow top hypnos mattress with an oak bed frame. There is plenty of comfortable seating with 2 velvet sofas and a bay window leather lounge chair/footstool.

We had a wonderfull stay at carvinack. We could not fault the property very clean & comfortable. It is just far enough out of town to be quiet in the evening, but only about a mile walk into town & beaches. lots of restraunts & pubs with the beerwolf being a favourite. overall a great place to stay 😊

Superb Property Superb Hosts Superb Experience
So glad for spacious off street parking in a town with lots of on-street parking. Easy secure entry from excellent check-in instructions from Andrew & Rachel. First impression was it smells like a breath of fresh air. So clean & welcoming. It feels like you're at home but someone tidied your house before you arrived! Beautifully appointed. Not a single thing out of place. Lovely bottle of bubbly & fresh milk in the fridge. I had a cuppa from the teabags & local Cornish shortbread provided within my first 10 mins at the lovely table with fresh flowers. A family member moved to Falmouth for Uni and when she walked in she said "Wow, this is beautiful." And it truly is. I cooked at the property and had everything I needed. Sparkling clean kitchen and bathrooms. Rachel and Andrew have thought of everything. Even how to manage recycling and household waste. Outdoor seating was really lovely to have with the weather being very warm. Property is very secure but we didn't have any worries in that direction. Neighbourhood seems very local and friendly. All household linens are very high quality. The bedroom had so much storage and plenty of hangers in both wardrobes. The bed itself was extremely comfortable, plenty of pillows & a duvet like a cloud. I hope to return many times to Rachel and Andrew's awesome property. This is a lesson in exactly how a rental property should make you feel. Relaxed, refreshed, rewarded. So many lovely, thoughtful touches. Simply perfect.

Fantastic property and hosts!
We had an excellent stay at Andrew and Rachel's cottage. Very clean and comfortable. The cottage was a perfect fit for our stay as we enjoyed exploring the Cornish countryside. Andrew provided us with great advice and was always available whenever we had questions. We highly recommend. Thank you both!!

Top marks all round, very clean and well equipped, very relaxing quiet atmosphere, all in excellent newly refurbished condition, hosts couldn't have been more helpful - being there on arrival and again when I had a car problem the evening before leaving when Andrew went to get a new wing mirror glass first thing next morning and then altered it and stuck it on as a temporary measure so I could drive home
