St Just stay for MAN v COAST Challenge

The cottage on first arriving was ok, an obviously older but very quaint cottage… Unfortunately after buying some meat from the local butchers and some food we discovered the oven and bbq were both unusable - they were absolutely filthy…. The bath was only usable after filling up with kettles - there was a shower, but I needed a hot soak after my 25 mile coastal challenge. The bed was clean and comfortable so I’m thankful for that.

3 night stay

It was a lovely little cottage and was well-equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. The walk to Porth Nanven was gorgeous and there were lots of places to visit within a few miles of St Just We really enjoyed ourselves.

Sweet St. Just

The cottage was clean, quiet, and just what we wanted for our first experience in Cornwall. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Easy walking distance to town center for local shops and restaurants.

Cornish cake break

Excellent location for easy exploration of the Cornish cape region, walking distance to coastal path, and amenities. Cottage is a no frills holiday rental. Some areas need a little attention -shower poor, back door locking , bath panel , but overall all good

Perfect getaway

Top Cot Cottage is a lovely Cornish cottage. It is well equipped with everything you need. St Just is a great village with a handful of shops and there are great walks nearby. We had a lovely short break and coastal walks in the sunshine. Tony gave us all the information we needed to have a great holiday.

Lovely old cottage - relaxing vacation

Very nice cottage in old style of small cornwall houses, great starting point for short or long hiking tours or just a stay in a nice cafe in town. Tony is very responsive, caring and has really good insider information, where to go and where to eat oför buy staff. Martin

Good place to stay

We spent a few days in this house and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. Food and take away within walking distance. Walk to Cliff and Porth Nanven beach e.g. for sunset. Other lovely places within a short drive. The house was as expected, warm welcome on arrival with scones and clotted cream.

West Cornwall

The house is really brilliantly located in the village close to the shops and cafes but also an easy walk to the coast and exploration of the historic tin mining area. We and our dogs enjoyed walks not having to go in the car, and the house provided everything we wanted to come back to. Comfy beds, sharp knives in the kitchen - everything very relaxing

Super Cosy Cottage

Just a short break, 3 nights. Everything we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable. The dogs were very comfortable. Our host, Tony, provided excellent information, so there were no problems or issues on our arrival or for the duration of our stay. Fabulous location, so many things to see and do!

Fantastic Clean Cottage

This cottage is a beautiful quaint cottage which is exceptionally clean due to the efficient housekeeper Julia. Tony has the decor and furniture perfect. The beds were very clean with crisp linen and very comfy mattresses. It is very peaceful too. Plenty of parking just 2 mins walk away. We had a lovely welcome note and some scones and Tony made sure every need was catered for and was on hand to assist if necessary. We loved our stay and when we come back to Cornwall we shall re book here. It allows dogs but the house is so clean there is no evidence of previous dogs. My teenage son and dog loved it too.

St. Just Stay

Overall a nice place to stay. We had a bit of trouble settling in...wiping down streaky counters, purchasing laundry detergent for the washing machine, and toilet paper as there was only one roll and no tissues. The listing mentions a dryer as a popular amenity, but there was none. When you click to see all amenities it only lists a washer in the laundry category--this discrepancy in the listing should be corrected. This put a wrinkle in our plans as a washer and dryer were key to our long stay and altered our schedule to wait for our clothes to line dry. All that said, the bed was comfortable, we used the kitchen to cook dinner twice and found what we needed to make our meals. The co-op store was a great find and the area was beautiful!

Excellent spot for walkers to stay

This is a small miner's cottage (probably) suitable for a couple and 2 kids -- decent double bedroom with adequate storage and smallish bedroom with two small singles at right angles. There's a sitting room downstairs with a couple of recliners, a sofa, TV, and a wood-stove (didn't need/use it); a small dining room, plus a kitchen with electric hob, electric kettle, sink (frig and microwave in side ante-room); and a bathroom with bath with electric-shower over, basin and toilet, and washing machine (didn't need/use). The plumbing is a bit primitive but everything works and the shower quite adequate, 3 electric radiators with thermostats keep the place warm and cosy, and the TV provides entertainment on rainy days. There's a small garden at the West-facing rear, with a chair or two and a washing line. I was given direct phone contact with the housekeeper (didn't need/use but very reassuring) and with the owner who was very helpful, and was keen to receive my feedback on a few minor quibbles that will probably be fixed on a next visit. Parking is outside front in terrace on a first-come, first-served basis, with overflow in the small Lafrowda car park at end of street (I always managed to find a spot). All in all a very functional, convenient, comfortable enough base for Coast Path walking and quick access to St Just shops/pubs and excellent cafes -- don't miss the DOG &RABBIT***** !

Schönes Ferienhaus

Das TOP-Cottage ist ein gemütliches kleines Ferienhaus mit Charme. Es war alles sehr sauber. Die Lage am Ortsrand und Nahe der Küste war für uns perfekt. Kleines Manko: zu geringer Wasserdruck in der Dusche. Vielen Dank an Tony für die tollen Ausflugstipps.

Very peaceful

A very quiet cottage. Easy parking ( even for 2 cars) and walking distance to shops and cafes. The small courtyard garden is chilly in the late afternoon, but if you have camping chairs go to end of road (a few yards) where there is evening sun and a view of the sea. The cottage was clean and comfortable.

Excellent stay in an excellent location

The property was an excellent place to enjoy a few days away in Cornwall. Places to visit like St. Ives, Land's End and St Micheal's Mount are all between 15 and 30 minutes drive away and most could also be reached by public transport. St. Just itself offers great access to the coastal walking path and the short hike (20 minutes) down into the Cot Valley and to the small beach there is enjoyable and leads to a wonderful quiet little beach from which one can enjoy gorgeous sunsets. The property is definitely comfortable and spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is spacious, the low water pressure isn;t really a problem unless you're very hasty in taking a bath (but then you should remember you're on a relaxing holiday!) and the garden is sweet and lovely. We enjoyed breakfast in the garden every morning. The communication with the landlord was completely problem-free and efficient. The parking arrangements are very convenient. The village is equally lovely. The local Coop has everything you need to self-cater, the Red Star local Chinese Take-away has some fine Peking Duck, while the two local pubs we tried are also very nice. The King's Arms has a really nice menu where you could easily spend two dinners before having to resort to "pub classics" and "The Commercial" equally has an interesting menu. All at fair and reasonable prices and within 5 minutes walk from the cottage.

Quiet terraced house on the outskirts of St Just

Ideal location for us, with pubs, ice creams, pasties and more a short walk away. Able to walk to the coastal path, with fields at the RV no if the road which was ideal for the dog.

Nicely restored miner’s cottage

Nicely restored. Small but cozy. Main bedroom is fine. Other bedroom has small beds. Tv has Netflix. Easy location to drive to. Kitchen is small but it was adequate. Heat was good on cool evenings. I would recommend Top Cot.
