Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of The Olju, noting it as spotless and well-maintained. This high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is frequently commended for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions in Cornwall. Its rural setting offers privacy and beautiful views, making it a perfect base for exploring nearby towns and beaches.
The comfort of The Olju is generally praised, especially the beds and the cosy atmosphere. However, a few guests found the sofa slightly uncomfortable for extended periods, and the mezzanine's low ceilings took some getting used to.
Facilities at The Olju are well-regarded, with the hot tub being a particular favourite. The property is equipped with most necessities, though some guests experienced issues with WiFi in poor weather and desired a hot tub cover.
The thoughtful gestures by the hosts, such as welcome packs with Prosecco, biscuits, and cereal, have been appreciated by guests. While these gifts enhance the experience, it is politely noted that such offerings are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Hayley
We had 2 small children and their travel cots fitted perfect upstairs. The cabin itself was perfect and everything you needed, the hot tub was amazing. I can't fault anything about the cabin itself. The only prob I had is that you don't park outside your cabin its in a carpark about 3/4 min walk away. I did see that you did provide little trolleys to put all you luggage in, they were full of water so cudnt use them. So had todo 4 trips. Apart from that fantastic stay, will definitely come back and will definitely tell friends and family to come Thank you
