The Duck House

We've just spent a lovely two weeks at the Duck House! It was perfect for me, my husband and the dog! It's in a great location to enjoy coastal walks, but there is also some lovely walking across fields and along the river through the woods (the bluebells were out, so just idyllic!), which are accessible directly from the farm. If I'd wanted to cook, it was very well equipped for a holiday home, but who wouldn't want to eat out with so many good restaurants on the doorstep! Elizabeth was lovely and even came out in the rain when we were unable to light the log burner!!

This is our third stay at the Duck House, it’s a real home from home. Elizabeth & Gavin are outstanding hosts & gave us some fantastic advice on places to eat & visit. The accommodation is exceptional, spotlessly clean, comfy beds & amazing shower. We will be back!!

We really loved staying at The Duck House. The bed was so comfortable and we loved the walk-in shower. It was so peaceful at night and we slept really well. Elizabeth made us really welcome and was there to offer suggestions of places to visit. I’m sure we will return.

The Duck House is a beautful, cosy and very comfortable cottage. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and with fresh flowers, milk, scones, jam and cream left for us it felt very welcoming. We had a really relaxing stay. ??

Beautifully appointed and extremely well situated, The Duck House is a 'Far from the Madding Crowd' kind of place. It was lovely to retreat there after a busy day touring and spending time on the beach.

The property was exactly as described, very clean, very comfortable ,your own garden space, fantastic bed for a great night’s sleep, everything you could want for a self catering holiday. Great host with helpful info of the area and places to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

The cottage was very clean very modern and very comfortable, could not of ask for more. Lovely views over the bay when out walking on the farm.

We could not have found a better spot and we have no hesitation in recommending both the Duckhouse and Parlour Sky for anyone wanting a comfortable stay in a wonderful environment. Come in the spring to enjoy the blue bell woods!

The Duck House was a perfect retreat. It was warm and welcoming and had everything I needed. The owner was extremely helpful and I would easily recommend staying here! Can't wait to visit again in the future.

An excellently equipped and spacious cottage that is ideal for 2 people. The location is so peaceful and calming. A perfect get-away.

Loved The Duck House. Can't wait to come back in nicer weather.

We liked: Being able to park the car adjacent to the property was good, also a first class bathroom. Enjoyed using the wood burner with lots of fuel available which made the property nice and warm. Being on the farm was interesting. Situated in a great place for touring that part of Cornwall.

Lovely, bright, airy dog friendly cottage in a perfect quiet countryside location within a mile of the coast and local amenities. Will definitely return. Thank you. Paul/Carol Downs

Had a wonderful stay in the Duck House, Spotless, ideal loction. Highly recommended and we will be back I am sure

Very pleased with everything

Duck House is ideally situated for exploring South West Cornwall and some lovely local walks and pubs. Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean.

Great cottage in the midst of a working farm. All the mod cons and great hosts.

A lovely property - hope to visit again.

Loved the duckhouse Our hosts were lovely and helpful,the cream tea was so nice. The cottage was great, 5 star We will be back soon.

Beautiful cottage set in a peaceful location, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, we would not hesitate to recommend the Duck House. Owners very pleasant but not intrusive.

The duck house was perfect. Very clean, modern and felt like a home from home. It’s in a fab location, everything was very close by and lots to see and do or just relax on one of the many beaches close by. Liz and family were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Being on the farm was just an extra touch.

The hosts were friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the chats with all the personnel on the farm and was welcomed to watch the milking. Lots of suggestions were proffered which led me to places perhaps only the locals know about. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the Duck house, The cottage is perfectly situated and so wonderful, spotlessly clean!! (So many holiday properties aren't). The owner (Elizabeth) came to introduce herself and was very friendly and concerned to check that we had everything we needed. The little conservatory is perfect for eating and relaxing in. The shower room is spacious, light and the shower itself fantastic to use! The bed was pristine clean and inviting, nice and comfortable. Plenty of plug sockets and light. Wardrobes spacious and really handy. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book the Duck house again!

It’s nice being part of the farm, with the comings and goings, so you don’t feel too remote, but inside is absolutely beautiful and restful for your stay.

Simply the best. The cottage was spacious, clean, well equipped and tastefully furnished. Everything is of a high quality. We loved the shower and we loved the large comfortable bed. The owners were charming and most helpful. The location was ideal making visiting the North and South coasts as well as the Lizard very easy. A choice of supermarkets close by was also ideal. We did not want to leave and are certain to return.

Excellent location, very friendly owners and their cows are friendly too! The cream tea we discovered on arrival hit the spot, although we kept some back for the following day. Enjoyed the decor which is done to a very high standard. Very comfortable super king sized bed. The conservatory is a lovely space for breakfast and relaxing at any time of day. You can sit out in the adjacent garden too. The Duck House has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, with great beaches and restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!

Lovely property, peaceful location. Owners Liz and Gavin very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful cottage and great location as only a short driving distance from stunning costal walks

This is our second visit to the Duck House. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. The cottage is well equipped and a real home from home. It’s also perfectly located to visit St Ives, Mousehole, Porthcurno & Penzance. We will be back again soon and will recommend the Duck House to our friends and family.

Warm, cosy and very well maintained and an ideal location to explore the south west of Cornwall.

Lovely cottage with very helpful and friendly owner.

If you are looking for the perfect Cornish holiday home for two then I can't recommend The Duck House highly enough. From it's stylish contemporary interior, to it's pretty garden, it really is just gorgeous. Although it's hidden away up a country lane on a farm, you are only a few minutes away from the lovely town of Penzance with lots of amenities and places to eat and drink. We absolutely loved our stay there and can't wait to return.

The supercomfy super-king sized bed, the accommodation was very well designed and appointed for 2 persons, modern but characterful, hosts couldn't have been nicer

The cottage is very suitable for two people who wish to take a holiday or short break in quiet countryside but near holiday facilities.

Just loved this cottage, It was so comfortable and beautifully clean. Cant wait to return maybe later in the year. Just perfect.

The owners of the property are pleasant and friendly and we appreciated the flowers and cream tea on our arrival.

We enjoyed the experience of staying on a working farm but be prepared to be woken early by the noise of the tractors' 'vehicle reversing warning beep'.

The cottage was very well located for you to be able to get to places of interest. It was equipped to a very high standard and it had an added bonus of being on a farm and cows.

Wonderfull setting on a farm with a view to the cows and a few steps further up the hill a splendid view all over the bay. You can even see St. Michael. Very quiet and piecefull. Very charming and extremly helpfull owners.

What a lovely cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the duck house. The place is exactly what the pictures promise. Perfectly equiped kitchen, cosy lounge with a nice fire place, an incredible conservatory, a very modern bathroom with a fantastic shower, and a lovely bedroom with a most comfortable bed. When we arrived the super friendly owners had left a full Cream Tea and a bunch of fresh flowers to welcome us. The cottage is located on a lovely dairy farm close to a barn with hundreds of healthy and happy cows. There is a parking space in front of the cottage. Penzance is just 5 minutes by car. You can reach St. Michaels Mount in max. 10 minutes and St. Ives in 25 minutes. Great location! We would come,back any time!

Excellent standard of accomadation in a location good for all areas of the coast

This cottage is the best we've stayed in and by a long way. We were made very welcome and loved our stay. It's situated in the perfect location to explore South Cornwall and its beautiful beaches. Our hosts provided us with recommendations on places to visit and places to eat, all of which were perfect for our young family. The cottage itself is finished to a very very high standard. The bed was amazingly comfortable!!! Definitely some where we would love to stay again.

Fantastic accommodation at The Duck House, it felt like home from home. Lovely clean and modern interior and a beautiful cottage garden. Just perfect!

If Classic cottages are all up to standards of Duck House, you are running a good business. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Five star accommodation in a beautiful part of the country. We will definitely return.

Peaceful stay in a luxury barn conversion, would recommend as a romantic hideaway

Wonderful accommodation. Clean, bright, extremely well equipped, comfortable bed, brilliant wet room. Perfect location to escape the modern world.

We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this accomodation. It's ideal for visiting many places in Cornwall. The Duck House has been thoughtfully decorated and presented by the owners with little added extras. We're looking forward to returning soon.
