Notes on accommodation
Well-trained dogs and children are welcome. Non-smoking tenants please. The cottage has a T.V. licence, digital loft aerial and Freeview box, so visitors may bring their own set if required. The cottage has full oil fired central heating. Although electricity is included, visitors are asked to read the meter at the beginning and end of their stay for the owner’s records. Fuel for the open fire may be bought locally (deliveries can be arranged) to replace any used.
Accessibility
Quince Cottage has quite a steep narrow staircase. As the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom downstairs we consider that the cottage is not suitable for visitors with mobility problems.

Booking notes
One third of total rental is required as a deposit at the time of booking. The balance is due a minimum of eight weeks before your holiday. If cancelling, the return of your deposit is negotiable, depending on the cost of re-advertising and re-letting. Once the balance has been paid there will be no refund, so adequate insurance is advisable.
Owner profile
About the owner
We have lived all our married life (34 years) in Kent and we brought up our children here. Quince Cottage is very much part of our family life and we visit there as often as we can. In August 2010 our son and daughter in law were married from Quince Cottage and held a reception in the sunshine on Pendower Beach I have been renting Quince Cottage since 1988. Many of our guests feel like personal friends and return year after year, having enjoyed Quince with their children and now with their grandchildren!
Year purchased: 1950's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Quince Cottage was bought by my mother in 1953. It was lovingly restored by my parents over the years and I inherited Quince Cottage in 1988. It is very much our second 'home' and my husband, I and our two children have always enjoyed spending time here in this beautiful part of Cornwall. Our children (now in their twenties/thirties) are introducing their friends to holidays at Quince Cottage, having first visited here as babies. We added the conservatory to Quince.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the peaceful pace of life in Cornwall and the relaxed atmosphere there. We enjoy many walks, particularly either across Pendower Beach or along the Coastal Path. The sailing is unbeatable! It is fun to visit Falmouth via the St. Mawes passenger ferry. The range and quality of pubs and restaurants in Cornwall is excellent these days and many visitor attractions are open all year round now. There are so many glorious gardens to visit as well as National Trust and English Heritage properties. Flambards theme park at Helston is full of fun and interesting things for all the family.
