Higher Prospidnick Cottage

The location of the cottage was very private and peaceful and there was plenty of parking space for our car. Homemade scones, jam and bread awaited our arrival along with a bottle of wine, clotted cream, coffee and tea which were much appreciated, especially after a long and tiring drive. The kitchen was well equipped and we very much liked the dining room with its country pine furniture. The beds were very comfortable and it was wonderfully quiet at night! The surrounding garden was a delight with an abundance of flowers and wonderful views across the adjacent fields.

I would recommend this cottage to anybody who is looking for a quiet and cosy retreat in the countryside. Well kept, very clean and equipped with everything one needs for a careless holiday. Wonderful garden as well, with two nice places to sit an enjoy a book or a rose lemonade. The hosts did everything to make our stay as nice as possible. They spoilt us with goodies, such as a cream tea, coffee, bread, milk.... My travel companion was not well on the day of departure, and they were so very kind to let us stay for some hours, so she could get a rest. Thank you again! The location of the cottage is also very good, many iconic places are within easy reach, and even Heligan was accessible within 90 minutes. I would definitely say that this belongs to the best cottages we have been so far!

We had a lovely week long stay with our two young girls. The location was a great central base for discovering what Cornwall has to offer. Gary & Avril were the best hosts. Thank you!

A fantastic cottage in a good location for exploring Cornwall and so peaceful and everything you need would stay again. :)

We had a lovely week in this clean, cosy and very well equipped cottage, which is perfected located for explorations of both the Lizard and Land's End peninsulas. Highly recommended!

The cottage is well located for everything and well equipped. The welcome scones etc are a lovely touch as well as the fresh flowers everywhere. We would definitely return and would recommend staying here without hesitation!

Perfect retreat!

Without doubt the best cottage we have ever rented in the UK and a pleasure to deal with Classic Cottages.

This cottage is lovely and finished to a very good standard . The bed was very comfortable and had lovely country views. It wasn't quite the right weather to enjoy the garden but would have enjoyed sitting outside on sunny day. It's a good location, quiet and peaceful. The welcome pack was very generous with homemade jam,bread ,scones. Cornish tea, coffee and butter . There were also lovely flowers from the garden everywhere. Gary and Avril are the perfect hosts and respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location. The lovely owners Gary and Avril and their lovely pets. They respected your privacy however you knew they were there if you needed them. Hospitality excellent when we arrived homemade bread, scones and jam were waiting for us, milk tea coffee sugar and all household products . They think of everything. Also its all listed on the website what is in the cottage. No need to worry about bringing those extras for example, bin bags, washing liquid, the list is long!

Beautiful garden and it was a pleasure to sit and watch the wildlife when the weather wasn't so good. Log-burner was also very welcome as was the scones and bread that was there at our arrival. Nice touch!

Perfect for a get away from it all holiday .

The cottage was quaint and beautifully looked after. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the décor was tasteful and homely. A lovely welcome basket of scones, jam, tea bags, milk, butter and wine were waiting on our arrival- a lovely and much appreciated welcoming gesture after a long car journey! The owners were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The location was absolutely perfect- everywhere we wanted to go was within half an hours drive. The pictures really do not do this property justice- it was bigger than expected from the photographs and the description of 'steep' stairs was not true at all- the stairs were absolutely fine for our 3 and 4 year old! we will definitely be returning :-)

The warm welcome with scones and handmade jam, the fresh flowers as well as the other charming details in and around the house made Higher Prospidnick Cottage to a special place for us.

We enjoyed our breakfast in the lovely garden, swimming in the sea, hikes on the beautiful shores, trips to Porthleven, St Ives, the Lanhydrock House and to Geevor Tin Mine.

Lovely welcome from Gary and Avril when we arrived, welcome pack had everyting but a roast dinner, 5 star. Lovel relaxing stay, just sitting in the beautiful garden was bliss, a million miles from the hum drum of work. The cottage had everthing you could possibly need and more, Gary and Avril were there if you needed anything and they were such a nice couple you could not want to have a chat to them. If or when we return to Cornwall we WILL be staying here again, thanks for a lovely holiday. Mel, Maz and Naomi

Wonderful cottage in ideal location . It was the "little extras and personal touch "that made our holiday complete

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting and welcoming owners make for the perfect holiday. Would love to come back and will certainly be recommending to our family and friends

Beautiful characterful cottage, very helpful owners. Quiet location. Very impressed.

Wonderful cosy cottage ideally situated to visit Cornish coast and countryside. Exceptionally clean and well presented with welcome pack of homemade scones, jam and bread and fresh flowers everywhere. The owners live next door and are very welcoming. Friendly pub within walking distance with v large portions of food. Our second visit here

This was our second time staying at this cottage, and it has started to feel like home from home. Quaint and comfy, and tastefully decorated and furnished. Gary and Avril are fantastic hosts, welcoming and generous but not intrusive, and Rudy the dog is gorgeous. The owners provide a very generous welcome pack as well as plenty of logs for the burner. The garden and views are wonderful, waking up to the views out of the little windows of the bedroom overlooking daffodil fields warms the soul. We love this property and would thoroughly recommend it.

Gary and Avril were perfect hosts nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location, wonderful garden, and truly felt like you were in the middle of nowhere whilst being a stone's throw away from the main road to Helston. It was a delight to stay here, the bedrooms were of a good size, and well furnished, kitchen didn't leave us wanting. The dining room was inviting and the living room comfortable. This cottage is cozy, well kept, and has everything you could ask for, especially the beautiful garden with outdoor seating overlooking miles of fields.

We were very happy here and would highly recommend it!

We have found the accommodation almost more beautiful in real life than in the photos. The house is wonderfully cozy. The owners are very welcoming and made us very welcome with welcome gifts (homemade bread, scones, jam, clotted cream, wine .... and even beautiful flower arrangements). The region is very interesting, especially the coastal paths which offered particularly impressive views to our long walks. The small towns have a lot of charm. Thus we had a very nice holiday, which will remain with us for a long time.

Lovely cottage, with everything you need, a sweet garden and great location for south and north coast beaches and st ives.

Lovely characterful cottage in extremely peaceful location, conveniently placed for all of Cornwall's far south west.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location but close enough for site seeing.

Fantastic location and friendly welcome by owners. Welcome pack more than generous. Flowers in room and beautiful garden were a delight. Very well equipped, nice decor, warm and cosy, private parking and very quiet. We have already recommended cottage to friends! Thank You

A charming cottage, the relaxed, quiet environment allowed for a wonderful peaceful short stay. From the start the welcome was outstanding and was reflected in the fresh bread and cream teas included in the arrival pack. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get away from it all for a few days. Excellent.

Fantastic cottage in a great location. We had a perfect Easter break there! We have a three year old and the size of the cottage was ideal and having a lovely garden was a bonus! Please don't be put off by the description of the stairs as steep as we didn't find them a problem at all. Owners were great and a lovely welcome pack was provided. We have visited family in this area for the last 20 years and this is definately one of the best place we have stayed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended. Great hosts who go out of their way to make you welcome. Excellent facilities. Fab location. What more could you ask for!

This cottage is just lovely. Cleanliness was excellent, and owners very welcoming. Good level of equipment. Gardens were lovely and ideal for family. Location is good for getting to the Lizard and also North Coasts and St Ives.

The cottage was beautifully decorated and contained everything we needed. We received a warm welcome from the owners of the cottages who were really helpful. The welcome pack (fresh bread, scones, cream etc) we received on our arrival was very thoughtful and much appreciated after a long drive.- much better than in any other cottage we have stayed at. The cottage is in a good location with loads to see and do nearby.

Superbly appointed cottage in an idyllic location. Set back off B road down private lane the cottage has its own access and gardens. Inside it is spacious, yet still quirky and finished to a very high standard by owners who obviously care you enjoy your stay.

Would highly recommend.

With our two kids of 7 and 10 years old we had a very pleasant and calm stay in this beautiful cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. The living room is a bit smaller than it looks on the pictures but the dining room is spacious indeed and the scones, bread, coffee, tea and homemade raspberry jam for a welcome were much appreciated and prove that the owners know how to please their guests.

Are you unsure if this looks right for you? It looks great in the pictures right? Well I can tell you that not only is it better in real life but the cleanliness and finish are top of the range. Are you worried about the owners living next door? Well again, no need to worry because they are the perfect hosts. They welcome you when you get there and then the house is yours for the rental time. Of course, if you want any local info or even a chat, then they will be there but they let you feel like you are the only people in the area and respect your total privacy. They also leave nice touches like a welcome pack of the best home made bread and milk, flowers, wine, butter.... and more. Its probably the best place I have rented for a holiday ever. You won't be disappointed !!

We highly recommend choosing Higher Prospidnick Cottage, it is ideally located to get to both north and south coasts and all the wonders on offer. The property is divine, tastefully decorated and furnished with every accoutrement that you could hope for. The owners have made this a real home from home and to add to the sense of pleasure you feel on arrival - a welcome basket containing (amongst other things) warm homemade bread,butter, tea, milk in the fridge etc. The exterior of the cottage is equally charming with plenty of spaces to sit and relax, and lots of planting that will be gorgeous in season.
