What a great find! Property was a pleasure to stay in, clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet and well equipped. An excellent location for exploring Cornwall.

Well thought out accommodation - we were 6 adults- 2 with a 22 month old and 2 with a 5 month old and a 17 month old, plus us 2 oldies so the downstairs bedroom was so good. Contained everything for a good holiday.

The house was easy to locate and a delight to stay in for the week with plenty of space for all of our party to make use of. It was an extremely pleasant surprise to find how well stocked the kitchen equipment was and similarly the amount of beach equipment (buckets, spades, windbreaks etc) available for those items you inevitably forget to pack. Read more The welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and milk was appreciated also. Some of our party found the mattresses a little firm for their liking but the property was in good condition and clean throughout. Good local convenience store in St Merryn and close to Padstow Farm Shop which wed recommend as well. Hide

We love staying at Minnows. We have stayed here many times, though not in the last few years. It was good to find that the property is still as lovely as ever. We felt really welcomed by the goodies on the tray. Minnows is a lovely base to explore many areas of Cornwall, especially now the A30 is a dual carriageway!
