It was perfect for our family stay.
So well appointed and in a perfect location for us. It was very comfortable and well appointed, nice and warm with plenty of hot water. The location was perfect for us.

The house was clean, well maintained and comfortable.
We had all the necessities/equipment required. There was a welcome package of scones, jam and cream upon our arrival along with fresh flowers which was a nice touch. The parking was a bit tricky, as one car was an EV and the cable was short requiring much 'maneuvering' to charge. Overall a great location, house and holiday.
-
It was a lovely specious apartment.
Toilet flush button in two of the bathrooms were not functional. We have struggled to get in for few hours due to the key storage lock button was not functioning until we managed to find an emergency phone number who guided us to secondary key storage lock in the back of the house. Kind regards

Best holiday property we have ever rented, mainly due to the fact that this is a family home as well.
Very well equipped; in fact everything you could possibly require is provided. All the furniture is very comfortable and in good condition. A real home from home. Thank you very much, Caroline, for letting us share your home. Fantastic weather added to what was a very happy week.

What a find!
! This is a really, really excellent property, in a small, quiet village in Cornwall, called Mullion. It is a beautiful area with many quite picturesque small coves to explore. More well known touristy places, for example St. Ives, Lands End, Falmouth are all within 30 miles. The property itself - Ridgeback House, is superbly situated, in a quiet street and has good parking space for two cars. It is very spacious, with a huge kitchen, which is incredibly well equipped. The four bedrooms are all a good size and we all agreed - very comfortable beds!! It is every bit as good as the photos and the description of the property suggest. Book it before somebody else does!!

We loved this property and would happily visit again.

The pictures of Ridgeback House are perfect and matched the property perfect.
All of the rooms are big and spacious. The house itself is well equipped and everything is of a high class quality. The kitchen is excellent with lots of pots and pans, plates etc. The towels were lovely and soft. My teenage grandkids loved the snooker and table football. The garden is quite private. Perfect holiday with lots of beaches nearby. We didnât really use the spa as the coop is just a few minutes walk away and weâll stocked. Good fish and chip shop and 2 local pubs nearby. Lovely village with friendly people.

It was so lovely to stay in a home that had such great facilities and equal sized rooms without someone confined to a tiny room or sofa bed.
The house was so well equipped and is the perfect size for large groups or families. Communication with the owner was also excellent!
