    There is nothing I would change, it’s perfect as it is.

    We went to chill, and be by ourselves, and that’s exactly how it was, nice to be able to cook on the fire outside as well as cooking availability inside the hut, bed very comfortable, seating area outside very relaxing, fire outside to light if the night air gets too cold, the hut is nice and warm, lovely shower, everything is there that you need. The ponies are beautiful and so photogenic 😊, a beautiful cat that is so friendly and welcoming, lovely walks on the clay trail, the owners can’t do enough for you, but also leave you to it. This is a place not to be missed, you really need to visit it, it’s what you need to get away and discover yourself and chill out away from everything. Beautiful 🤩

    if i have to say a negative i can possibly think of is we could have done with some fresh towels at some point as by day 3 they started to smell a bit damp

    amazing place, great experience and facilities with 3 lovely ponies and a cat too!

    Inside the hut, because of lack of space, there were only 'dining' type chairs or the bed to sit on. Not very relaxing. Great place if the weather is good because you can sit outside in the little garden, not so good when it's raining as you're in a tiny space on not particularly comfortable upright chairs. We were just unlucky with the weather so couldn't sit outside in the evening, so back from the restaurant and early to bed. I thought it was quite expensive.

    A great use of limited space. Very well equipped. Spotlessly clean. Cheerful little place. Great location.

    Gorgeous location, very well placed for the Eden Project. The Hut is very clean, and has everything we needed. Got good use out of the lovely fire pit too, and was such a joy to see the lovely ponies. Most of all however, we were joined on our stay by the sweetest, most cuddliest cat ever! He was a very gracious host!

    What a great little place. We stayed just one night, but it was very relaxing. We had a fire pit and cooked some food on there too. Lovely touch having the Shetland ponies around. The place is very well equipped and clean. Would recommend to anyone wanted a little escape and Charlestown down the road is a lovely village with good seafood restaurants to choose from.

    That we didn't stay for longer! Though, there are a couple of very minor considerations people might need to make. - no WiFi (still had signal though) - but it's a good place to get away from that. No TV either - we really didn't need that at all though. - people with cat allergies may wish to state this in advance! - for those that don't drive, like us, local shops are 25-30 mins away - recommend planning!

    It was an absolutely magical place. From the views, to the ponies (special thanks to the man who gave us pellets to give them), to Gumball the cat effectively moving in with us for the duration... We have no complaints. One of the best places I have ever stayed. The hut itself was small, but the space was incredibly well designed, and well equipped - everything was covered, it felt like. The bed was especially very big, and the oven and fridge were very welcome. We were here for a gig at the Eden Project - but fully recommend the local walk around the area to Carn Grey Rock, and the standing stones. It's a very beautiful area. This is just the absolute best place - and the price was great too. Not sure when we'll be able to return - but we both really want to!

    We had real difficulties finding the properties as the instructions went my junk file and then despite searching we did not find it. Even the neighbours and the local taxi company did not know the location of the property

    It was very comfortable and extremely well equipped

    The Miners Hut is genuinely the most cosy place I've stayed. It's decorated beautifully and stocked with everything you could ever need! Everything was immaculately clean and well presented. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, the ponies are adorable and the cat is super cuddly! Perfect location for a wonderful view from the garden and excellently situated for access to local amenities. Even though it was raining most of our stay the hut has wonderful heating and a well appreciated hot shower. I must say though that the bed was so comfortable we had to accommodate more lie-ins! We will definitely be coming back to Cornwall, even if only to stay here!

    Like many of the other reviews, we wished we'd booked more than one night! My Partner and I live locally in St Austell but with the season picking up we don't find much 'us' time in-between working, so had a phone free evening/night/morning in this gorgeous hut, super cosy and well equiped, and if you're an animal lover like myself the ponies are an added bonus, so friendly and inquisitive whilst we ate our breakfast outside watching them roam. The hut is small but so well kitted out, also surprisingly not claustrophobic, my partner is 6ft so found the bed to be slightly snug but manageable short-term. Our favourite place we've stayed as a couple, we will definitely be back!

    The shower head didn’t aim at you very well as the attachment holding it to the wall was worn. The lock on the front door was incredibly stiff as the door had swollen so getting in and out proved difficult. I also had no phone service or mobile data and there was no on site WiFi or a TV. I also wish I could have cuddled the ponies more as they were just gosh darn adorable.

    The ponies were adorable, the parking was easy and the location was amazing. The hut was very aesthetic and cosy and even though it was cold when we got there, the heaters warmed it up extremely quickly.

    No mobile phone hook up to charge up. Beware how quickly the heater warms up Miners hut very efficiently. Shower Towels didn’t smell as fresh as they should. Maybe the car parking space made a bit larger. As turn around space was a bit back and forth.

    Clean and tidy with tea and coffee when you arrive. Beds comfortable, good shower with everything you need for short stay. Directions given to you are spot on. Wife fell in love with the pony’s.
