The China Dolls House

A beautiful and very comfortable cottage in a perfect location with stunning views - sitting in the captain's window overlooking the Mount with a good book was a highlight of our stay. The parking is a huge bonus and, if tight, we had no problems using it (we found it easiest to back in). The owners Donna and John were also very kind and helpful throughout, responding to text queries immediately. As others have commented, the internal stairs are a bit steep (and open at the top) but quite manageable for all except our blind dog (we brought her gate with us), while the garden steps are perhaps only for the nimble - but the view over the bay is wonderful once you get up there! Highly recommended....

We had a lovely holiday at the China Dolls house. The kitchen was very well equipped with good quality saucepans etc - far better than anywhere else we have stayed which was great for when we ate in. The view of the sea and Mount is fabulous. We have a large car and found parking at an angle meant that it fitted in and the gates closed. We did some fabulous coastal walks with our dogs. They also loved the quiet local beaches and were welcome in all the local restaurants. ...

Would like to add despite some negative reviews the parking is not difficult. It is a real treat to have private parking in a place like this and the parking space at this property is generous enough to park a camper van. It is suggested that vehicle back into the space this is because the road can get busy at times so it make sense to exit the space forward. Stone steps up to the terraced garden are a little steep and care should be taken. The cottage is reverse configuration with bedrooms on the ground floor and open plan living space on the first floor, offering the most fantastic views of Mounts Bay and St Michaels Mount itself Easy access for the SW Coast path. Use the buses you can get to almost anywhere in Cornwall by bus from Penzance and the journeys are scenic as they go through the villages and excitement as you find your double decker negotiating some of the famous narrow roads and steep hills! ...

A delightful cottage with stunning sea views. The parking space is a little tight but we managed to get our CRV into it with a little maneuvering.

Our 3rd stay at China Dolls, 1st time since re modelled. The changes are fantastic, well thought out. It’s a very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage. View great and parking space a real bonus. We will definitely stay here again and can highly recommend. ...
