They did everything to get my husband and I into the fabulous Bill's Loft at short notice last week. I could kick myself for booking somewhere different initially - simply because I only needed three nights. They went out of your way to get me in as quickly as possible, even though I telephoned out of hours (very early)!
Whilst my husband and I are not exactly international jet setters, we do travel about 6-7 times a year, and I have never had such good service from any letting company as I have from the Cottage Boutique, so thank you so much.

We have had another fantastic holiday break in The Dove House. Again it is exactly what we wanted and The Dove House delivered that for us together with the fantastic weather. We will be back and once again thank you for a great holiday.

Just wanted to let you know what an enjoyable week we had staying in Sonamara. As a very regular visitor to beautiful St.Ives, I certainly wasnt disappointed by the panoramic views from the lounge & bedroom windows. It was also a welcome surprise, to find some wine & local cheeses etc. Extremely thoughtful. It was a pleasure dealing with this company.

We Loved staying here, perfect location for us with a baby. We had everything we needed on our doorstep.
Mixed weather but we didn't let it stop us going out and about on coastal walks and exploring lovely coves and beaches! Thank you very much for the thoughtful gifts on arrival to the cottage.

Except for the fact that I went home with the flu we had a lovely timewalked Sennen cove to Lands End, had a very blustery visit to the Lizard etc. and the weather was better than expected which is always a bonus. Weve been holidaying in Cornwall ever since I was a child but this was the first time that wed stayed in St Ives. Lilys Cottage proved to be a real surprise as it was far better than expected and in hindsight some items wed taken could have been left at home. Being central to everything was great, particularly in the evenings as my Mum felt safe enough to stay in when we
