We loved this rental, such a beautiful house in a warm and friendly village. The sea is just across the little road, which has almost no cars, tide came in more often than a car went past. We did not find that much was missing for a perfect holiday. I did think that the blinds were sad and elderly, perhaps some new ones would be better, blackout blind would be great. The TV signal was poor, it did not bother us but children might miss it. A few bathroom tiles were cracked but these are all very slight problems. I think a couple of small families would enjoy Nirvana , equally we were a group of ladies who went to school together 60 years ago!

Wifi was down.. although not critical was listed as available. Weather was cold first part of the week and the house was chilly as the heating was locked to a set temperature. still great and have booked for next year.

The house is absolutely lovely, spacious and very well equipped.. It sits in a superb position with easy access to the beaches in Kingsand and Cawsand. The beds were very comfy especially for someone like me who suffers with back pain. The main oven in the cooker did not function and was repaired on the Monday after our Friday arrival.which was a little niggly but these things happen and the owner was in contact right away and tried his best to get it sorted sooner. We did experience issues with the heating and hot water which cannot be controlled by the customers. There has been several mentions regarding a problem in previous reviews. Rarely was there any hot water from the taps and the kettle had to work overtime. The heating was erratic and we were cold at times every day, The two newer rear rooms at the rear of the property are especially chilly and the bathroom was cold most of the time. The owner was helpful and in contact but one should not have to keep asking for the heating to be turned up during a stay. This definitely needs addressing as with a big party (we were 7 adults and a baby) it seems that the hot water supply is not enough for bigger parties. I also feel that the thermostat being in the kitchen near the cooker is likely to shut the rest of the system down which will then make the rest of the property cold (as we found out). We had a lovely break and it is a great shame that we have to provide any negative feedback but being chilly is not a comfortable experience.

The house is so lovely and makes you feel welcome the first time you set foot in the door.. It has every thing that you need and the beds and furniture is clean and very comfortable. And to make it even better it is sat in the most lovely setting ever. Kingsand.

The house was brilliant we had 8 people in the house for 2 nights and there was loads of room.. 8 adults did not feel on top of each other. The facilities were amazing plenty of kitchen bits and pieces. It was the best holiday let we have stayed in ever. The position of the property is amazing with a beach 10 strides from the front door. 4 pubs in the villages!!

Only problem concerned heating / hot water.. Heating is on a time clock so unable to override in the very cold weather we had. This probably wouldn't have been a problem if we hadn't had two very small babies with us. Fortunately, we had brought plenty of logs with us for the fire. Also, there didn't seem to be much hot water most of the time - certainly not enough for baths. Otherwise everything just perfect as in previous stays.

The outside of the cottage does not reflect the fabulous accommodation when you walk through the door! As soon as we arrived we felt welcomed and relaxed. It was the perfect venue for a family of 9 coming together over the Christmas period. Could not fault the cleanliness and comfort. Considering there were 9 people, the house always felt calm and spacious. It’s location was superb, we had sea views as well the beach only 10 metres from the front door. We were within minutes from 4 pubs, and would thoroughly recommend visits to The Rising Sun “Riser”, Halfway House and Devonport. There were plenty of walks to enjoy, especially through the Mount Edgecombe Estate, which takes you to the foot ferry across to Plymouth. Cawsand and Kingsand are magical villages, and the bonus of staying at Nivana added to that magic. I would definitely recommend, whilst at the same time keep it our secret!

Not impressed with booking fee.. Will be looking at alternative providers who do not make this additional charge.

Excellent accommodation in an ideal location.. The cleanliness and preparation of the property could not be faulted. Strongly recommend Nirvana for both families looking for beach-side holiday or smaller parties looking for a comfortable base to explore this part of Cornwall sightseeing and walking. Good leisure and eating out facilities on the door step in a village that never gets too crowded.

This is our second stay at Nirvana & we had a wonderful time.. The house is in a superb location and is the perfect place fir a large mixed age group. We are likely to return and over many, many years have found Helpful Holidats to be faultless in their service. However, on this particular holiday their usual high standard was lacking. We felt Nirvana China was rather worn, some was chipped, rugs were frayed & tatty. The downstairs area of the house smelt very ‘doggy’ and there was a huge pile of dog mess next to the dining table on the patio. Not nice when you don’t own dogs and have a young child in your party. There was also a dog toy left lying around. The back outside area had clearly not been checked on prior to our arrival. There was clear recycling information in the house folder but no recycling bags which rendered the process very hard. In order to recycle I had to pay several visits during the course of the week to the recycling bank in Cawsand Car Park which was a bit of a trek away since the higher link Road is closed due to major construction work. A final observation is that the holiday was centred round my 60th birthday party and we had planned and taken provisions with us fir a family BBQ, having really enjoyed that experience at Nirvana last year. However, when we came to Cook. - there was no BBQ! So we had to adapt and cook inside which was an enormous shame & disappointment. Too late for us to do anything else. I look forward to hearing back from Helpful Holidays about all these comments.

The house was excellent and the little touches added by the owner made us feel very much at home. It is less than a minute walk to the beach which is down a slight slope, this was great for morning drinks while watching the sunrise, it is also a short walk to the nearest shop and the pub landlords are very friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that the twin room is exceptionally cold during the night, by the end of our stay the cold room made them suffer from colds and sore throats which wasn't a good ending to our holiday away. I would recommend this house to a small sized family so that the twin bedroom isn't in use.
