This was our 21st year visiting Cadgwith and we’ve stayed in many lovely cottages…..but Dummer’s has become our new favourite. The view from the master bedroom on a stormy day (or any day for that matter) is to die for. As is often the case in this wonderful corner of the world, the weather was kind to us and we made the most of the breathtaking walks along the cliffs. See you next year.

Our fourth stay in the wonderful Dummer’s Loft in beautiful Cadgwith Cove. We will never tire of watching the boats come and go with the ‘fruits of the sea’. Hope to return in 2025.

Another great week at Dummer’s Loft and Cadgwith Cove. The house never disappoints. Great walks and great food at the Inn. Don’t forget the best crab sandwiches from the little shop in the cove – practically next door! Hopefully back next year.

What a fabulous cottage. The location alone is as good as it gets. The facilities within are clean and very well presented. We’ve enjoyed really good weather and will be back for sure. Can’t rate this place highly enough. A wonderful stay.

Dummer’s Loft is a charming, well-equipped property in a spectacular location. It looks out directly over the sea in the working fishing village of Cadgwith Cove. There are breathtaking cliff top walks in each direction following the South West coastal path. Double doors lead to a patio where you can eat, read, sunbathe and watch the world go by. You are assured of a wonderful, memorable holiday. To be highly recommended.

Thank you for making us so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved all the details - a real home from home. Fantastic location. We will definitely be back next year.

This was our first stay at Dummer's Loft but certainly won't be our last. We couldn't have wished for a better location. To be able to leave all the windows and doors open to hear the sounds of the sea and the working boats was truly magical. And 58 steps to the pub was a major bonus!! Just loved the cosy feeling and practicality of the living area and were really impressed by the quality and cleanliness of the whole place. Comfiest bed in Cornwall. We would highly recommend a visit.

Our second visit to Cadgwith/Dummer's Loft and loved it just as much as the first. The new kitchen is really great and the weather has been amazing - water really calm so paddleboards were out every day. Great walk from Lizard to Kynance spotting seals along the way. A happy week spent sitting on the terrace enjoying the daily activity on the beach. We look forward to coming back.

We've stayed at Dummer's Loft 3 or 4 times now and love it. It's all about 'location, location, location' - beautiful village, right on the beach. So cosy with the log burner - rain or shine it doesn't matter. A new wonderfully equipped kitchen, fantastic new bed and bedroom with views out to sea, and within staggering distance of the brilliant Cadgwith Cove Inn - what more could you ask for! We've also bought a number of paintings from Nigel Legge, a local fisherman and artist who has a small gallery on The Todden.

Another Easter week spent at Dummer's. We brought friends with us this time so 12 of us in all in Cadgwith. The weather threw everything at us - we've been blown by the wind, soaked by the rain and burnt by the sun! A glorious day walking to Kynance Cove and back. PS - really love the new shower room and kitchen.

Thank you for our stay at Dummer's Loft. We had an absolutely lovely time and wish that we never had to leave! We were lucky with the weather - blue skies most days, lovely walks with the dog, sea shanties in the pub. Heading back home feeling very relaxed and lots of happy memories.

We had the most amazing time at Dummer's Loft. Idyllic spot. Everything was perfect - from the house to the sea view. Sea shanties at the local pub was a lovely experience and we so enjoyed the long coastal walks. Dummer's Loft has been beautifully restored and decorated to the highest spec. We highly recommend it!

A superb stay at a truly lovely location! The house was perfect and had everything we could have wished for. Having 2 bathrooms is a great addition to the property, and under-floor heating an added bonus. We used the log burner on a couple of occasions when the temperature dropped in the evening and the loft was very cosy. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one.

We had a wonderful stay at Dummer’s Loft. We come to Cadgwith twice a year and will definitely try to book the loft again. We love the walk to the Lizard. The house is great – very cosy.

Fabulous week in Cadgwith in a very special house – and we have stayed in many here! Dummer’s Loft is comfortable and convenient and has lost none of its character – a real achievement. Back next year!

Another wonderful stay in Cadgwith, but our first stay in Dummer’s Loft. Fabulous location and beautifully fitted out loft. We will be back. Thank you so much for a special stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dummer’s Loft, with that wonderful view through the French doors and the waves pounding the rocks. The walks both ways out of Cadgwith were amazing. The pub meals at the cove were very good and great value. The log burner kept us cosy on the cooler evenings. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen really well equipped. We love Cadgwith and will return again soon.

What a gorgeous cottage - we absolutely loved it! We have stayed in most of the cottages in Cadgwith and this is our fave!! Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. We have already tried to book for summer, but fully booked. We will be back by the end of the year. Such a special place, making memories...we all loved it.

Another wonderful stay in this special cottage. Lucky with the weather - only one rainy day, which was spent nice and cosy in front of the roaring log burner. Perfect! Hope to return again soon.

Another wonderful week's holiday at Dummer's. Great for the family to get together. Our friends were also staying in Cadgwith. Great fun with the kayak, paddleboards, snorkelling and fishing gear. Lovely coastal walks. Our black lab puppy loved it - she's been on the patio waiting for any passers-by! Thank you!

Another great week in Cadgwith. The cottage looks great with the new kitchen and bathroom - so comfortable, a great base for a holiday. The inn was fantastic fun for both food and entertainment - don't miss the Monday night quiz. Walking to Church Cove and Kennack is a must, and the lifeboat launch on a Tuesday is a highlight. Hope we'll be back again soon.

One word - idyllic! A fantastic week for much deserved R&R for family. We only left the cove for one day. Pub food excellent, locals friendly and helpful. Four seasons in one day but still in the sea every day. Cottage by far the best equipped we've been to.

We loved Dummer's Loft. It was very comfortable and tastefully decorated and the kitchen was extremely well equipped, with nice sharp knives, a good selection of cookware and utensils and even a few dishwasher tabs etc - little, inexpensive touches, but much appreciated, as were the coffee, tea bags and Cornish biscuits. The caretaker rang on our first night to check we were OK and had everything we needed - again a really nice and thoughtful customer gesture. The sound system was great and the woodburner pumped out a lot of heat, making the cottage very cosy in the evenings. The front door was a bit of an issue - it took a certain knack to get it locked - but apparently that is in hand. All in all a fantastic week. The weather was an absolute bonus and the cottage was in the perfect location to enjoy watching the waves and tide in the bay. We would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful time at Dummer's Loft. The cottage is very comfortable and well-equipped. The oven was great, but for someone used to an Aga took quite a lot of trial and error to master. We look forward to returning.
