This lovely cottage is a great location for a holiday. It was very clean and it felt like home . Plenty of room . Had all the right a equipment that you need on holiday. Would highly recommend. The hot tub was fantastic.

Christian

Had a wonderful stay at Kensa. The house is beautiful, with everything you need for however long you're staying for so leave your hairdryer and iron at home lol. Plus, the hot tub is amazing! Location is rural, but well placed and an equal distance from everywhere we wanted to visit. There is a Premier shop a short walk away, which was handy. To the owners you have a beautiful house and we are insanely jealous of you lol. If we ever come back to Cornwall and we will at some point we will choose Kensa once again. Thank you.

William

It was a wonderful stay, every little detail was considered and catered for. Its in a great condition and you can tell us very well maintained. The property was a fantastic location for touring Cornwall, you can get everywhere within 3040 minutes, and if youre not sure what to do the guide has some great suggestions. The welcome basket is a really lovely touch and the hot tub was the cherry on the cake, was great to relax in after fun days out and my 6 yr old thought it was the best thing in life.

Brilliant property. Clean, spacious and well equipped. Information booklet was really helpful. I loved having a hoover to clean up sand we brought back home. Our son loved the hot tub. We have visited before and I'm sure we will book again. Thanks for having us.

Andrew

Great cottage with everything that you would need in a great location with some great walks on the doorstep

Home from home, very clean and tidy spacious ,comfy sofa. Loved the hot tub. Only issue we had was we had no hot water for a night and back patio needs tlc. Would book again and recommend this property to anyone.

Lovely base to explore cornwall. Great hot tub!

Our second trip to Kensa did not disappoint. Even more facilities included this trip. Lovely and clean, light and airy. We came last year with our doggo and was expecting our first child and was lucky enough to return, this year, with our 8monthold son for his first holiday. We love it so much we want to make it our annual trip to Cornwall. We recommend it to anyone looking to stay in and our parents have now booked in for October. Already looking forward to returning next year.

I have to say this place was fabulous, the owners thought of everything. It was perfect, welcoming, completely dog friendly and all perfectly as described. We loved the comfy beds and the hot tub most of all. The property was super clean to top it all, On arrival we were given scones, clotted cream and jam, plus a bottle of wine, and not forgetting the dogs, there were treats for them too. This is the best cottage weve ever booked.

Sophie

The best cottage we have stayed at. From the moment we stepped in it was perfect. Cozy, homely, warm and has everything you could want at home. The hot tub was a blissful way to relax after all the walking days. There are some beautiful beaches only 20 minutes away and an amazing Chinese in the village. It's a great place to stay and we have already booked our return!

We had amazing holiday at Kensa. Property was warm on arrival. Owner had given us Easter eggs, coffee and milk, lovely wine and even treats for our dog. Property was immaculately clean, Modern and had everything that you may wish for. Personal touches were really lovely. We loved all the picture canvases of the local places with post codes on the wall. Welcome folder was very informative. Jacuzzi was amazing and clean. It is emptied and cleaned between every bookings. If cleanliness is important for you, then this is the place! Property was spotless! Reading the previous reviews, everything that had been mentioned by previous quest had been rectified. I.e. there now is a laundry aerial. You really don't need to take any household items with you. These is toilet and kitchen paper, dishwasher laundry tablets, cleaning liquids, and even towels for the muddy paws. We will defenately return.

Michael

Fantastic property in a central location to visit all corners of Cornwall.

The property was lovely and also clean throughout. Jacuzzi was perfect and nice to have. Good location for venturing out and about. Only one gripe and that was the ground source heating facilities. We went in January during the extremely wet period so always returned home soaked, there was no means of drying clothes or shoestrainers or swimwear after using the Jacuzzi etc.

Christine

This is a lovely property very clean and well maintained, loved how homely it felt. The bed was so comfy slept really well, there was everything there that you could possibly need. My only criticism would be the electric hob, it was a nightmare took ages to come on so not sure if it is faulty, only other was the TV we couldn't get the normal TV with BBC ITV etc so not sure if it was us or if it wasnt available. These are the two things that would deter me from staying again, other than that it was lovely

Vanessa

Kensa was ideally located for exploring the sights of Cornwall. Quiet location and very private. Had everything you could possibly need or want. Beautifully decorated and maintained. Very well thought out. Bed extremely comfy. A special welcome basket of scones and jam and cream, wine and milk, which were delicious. The hot tub was just perfect after a long day exploring to relax in. Seating areas front and back were lovely to sit out with a cuppa in the sunshine. It was well equiped with all kitchen utensils,like a home from home. Thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay

When arrived we could not find the patio door keys once found everything was easier. My husband and I are a couple of dinosaurs when it comes to technology so when on description it said smart tv we thought we would get freeview theres no aerial the only thing you can get is on apps Netflix etc. if you bring you own logins etc whatever they are. Also it would be handy if instructions booklets on how to work kitchen appliances ie microwave and induction hob. The Kensa was beautiful clean and is very central to all areas the bungalow Is on a corner plot and you have to be very careful when driving in and out. The paintings around the bungalow where very informative. If you are thinking of going to St Ives I would leave very early as parking there is terrible its also very hilly if you have any mobility problems. All In all we had a good stay in Cornwall but wont be returning as its long drive from Wales.

Outstanding Holiday Cottage which is very clean and beautifully decorated with informative pictures around the property to various must see locations and has everything you would need to make your stay perfect. The Cottages location in Carharrack is ideal as it's only short drives to all Cornwalls tourist and hidden gems on the north and south coast also there are major supermarkets and retail outlets very close just incase you've forgotten to bring something or need to stock up.

We had a fantastic week spent in Kensa! It really is a gem! The property has everything you could want and more! From super comfy beds to everything you need in the kitchen to cook with, the owners have thought of everything. The hot tub was a win too! Fantastic base to explore Cornwall from!

Nice place you need good weather to enjoy

Charlotte

Property is lovely and fantastic location! Never been to a property before which had so many extras youve pretty much thought of everything! Id recommend the accommodation to anyone your pretty much 30 minutes at the most from all the must sees of cornwall.

Kensa is such a lovely place , with easy reach of facilities and amenities. The property is well equipped . We had such a lovely stay and we definitely will be returning . For now Kensa has our heart

Jennifer
