What an absolute gem! We had booked a different place to stay, which was unavoidably unavailable at the last minute so we were offered Shell Cottage and were delighted with the outcome. The location is excellent - about 10 mins from the A30 and perfectly placed for exploring Cornwall. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and so cosy. We did a lot of driving around [Eden project, National trust and Cornwall in general] and it was the perfect place to come home to and unwind. Infact the most complicated thing about the week was working out which thing went into which bin for recycling - but there was a very detailed handbook to guide us through that. We would not hesitate to stay here again. ...

Warm, character cottage in a central location, clean with good facilities, easy access to Truro, Heligan, Eden Project etc. Be aware the busy A390 runs through Grampound and the cottage is close to this.

Shell Cottage is a beautiful traditional Cornish Cottage situated in a lovely village of which both are full of history. It is larger then it first looks and centrally located making it ideal for exploring a number of areas of Cornwall both North and South. We chose it partly for this reason and travelled to Falmouth & St Michaels Mount easily alongside exploring the local areas including Charlestown and Mevagissey harbour. We would recommend and definitely return in the future. ...

We’ve just returned from a week’s holiday in Cornwall and our stay at Shell cottage. We were extremely happy with our choice of cottage, Shell cottage was the perfect home from home. Hosts were friendly and on hand should you need anything during our stay. Cottage provides everything you will need during your stay and tastefully decorated throughout. Shell cottage is a great base for exploring what Cornwall has to offer, with most eastern Cornwall villages within a 20 minute journey. Perfect for us traveling with a small baby....

Loved our week at Shell Cottage with older parents. It felt quite spacious & two toilets upstairs was a bonus! The seniors loved the walk in shower, and the bus stop being a minute away so they could adventure independently. The kitchen had everything we needed & downstairs worked well for meals & cosy evenings. The outside space to the front was very pleasant for morning coffee. The beds were super comfy & it's so quiet that everyone slept well. We parked outside the house all week no problems. Out & about there's so much to see, St Mawes is gorgeous & the nearby coastal walks are spectacular (park for free at Rocky Lane), we loved Trelissick (National Trust), Charlestown & Gorran Haven beach. The circular dog walk from the cottage was perfect for morning or evenings. ...
