Slightly disappointed
The village and location is lovely. Unfortunately the well reviewed pub closed down earlier this year, and the bistro and cafe are both closed in October. Should a family have arrived unprepared they would have been unable to source any food or refreshments. A warning of this would have been appreciated. Despite being advertised as having two bathrooms, the house itself has one toilet and one shower room. The shower is powerful, but hot water does not seem to last very long, in particular with four adults in the house.

A beautiful cottage in quiet fishing village
Rutherglen is a pretty, well-appointed cottage, with a small steep garden at the back, and less than 5 minutes from the beach. The village has a great little pub - the 5 Pilchards, and a walk up the hill to the famous 5 Apples cafe - which does the most wonderful breakfasts - traditional, vegetarian or vegan! The cottage was great for 4 people, but the fact there is only 1 WC in the main bathroom - the other bathroom being a 'wet room' with just shower and sink - would have made it less than ideal for 6 people. Everything was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for us, and the location is perfect.

Rutherglen cottage needs work!
Rutherglen is situated in a very quiet fishing village with a local pub just a short walk away which served good food. However, the cottage itself is in dire need for some tlc. It is extremely damp in the downstairs shower room in particular and when we arrived the door to the shower room was covered in black mould as was the other door in the room which leads to the boiler. The tiles on the floor also are loose and grout is mouldy - all in all not very pleasant, it smelt bad and you could not shut the door when having a shower due to it being so warped. Unfortunately the cottage had not been cleaned properly before our arrival, despite us being told to arrive a little later than planned 4pm. We found debris including socks under the sofa and bin in toilet full up. Lots of rubbish bags outside which should have been taken away, under the cupboards lots of mice droppings and cobwebs. Broken glass and muck by side of fridge. Leftover food in cupboards, and what looked like remnants of dog food on a magazine left in the lounge. I would say, however, Joanne at Cornwall Hideaways was extremely helpful and arranged for further cleaning but this was still not the best job. Still items found under sofa etc!

Lovely property Great locals
Overall very happy with this property. Great location, spacious and clean. Loved the decking area for an afternoon recovery from walking and outdoor eating. Kitchen well equipped. Disappointed that the Master bedroom does not have a King sized bed as advertised. Would expect more washing up liquid to be supplied. Parking space very difficult to use. Locals very friendly. Five Pilchards pub very good for food and service. Some great walks from the property as well as across the rest of The Lizard. Planning on a return soon.
