Allowing every guest to experience the vibrant beauty of the Cornish coast and the seaside energy of Newquay (6 miles), this holiday home has been thoughtfully laid out with added accessibility features accommodating anyone with mobility issues. This four-bedroom property has been meticulously considered to ensure all are comfortable, hosting a total of eight guests in three versatile zip-and-link bedrooms. Decorated with contemporary styling and fresh interiors, the abode invites any group to relax in peace and quiet throughout their Cornish getaway, whether that’s filled with sunny afternoons on the beach or rewarding tours along the South West Coast Path.

Nicely presented cottage - rooms were adequate and the master bedroom was a good size. Great value for money, good location equal distance to get to Padstow or Newquay although Mawgan Porth beach is off the scale for it's beauty and sea. We had a great holiday - Thanks.

Excellent cottage in a quiet area. Very comfy, including the beds & settees for six adults (sons & girlfriends). Small problem with the shower not draining was fixed by the owner. You need to be use to driving down narrow Cornish lanes to get to the cottage which we are, from previous stays in the area. The beach & Merrymoor Inn are within walking Read moredistance through the wood, public footpath (but not loaded down with lots of beach gear/body boards etc). We rate Mawgan Porth as one of the best beaches, closely followed by Treyarnon. Hide

Would definitely book again, very clean and comfortable, fishing was great and watching the horses climbing the hill through the sky light while showering in the morning was a real delight and all in a beautiful area.

The house was extremely good value for money, a beautiful space for 7/8 people for a long weekend away with family and friends. It was clean and tidy, and a great location close to the beaches. We had an amazing time, loved the sofa and kitchen was stocked well, plus the few welcome treats were lovely.

Such a well-equipped and beautifully presented house, which we had a brilliant week in this half term. It very much seems that the house is very new and we felt very lucky to stay in it! Trevor was so welcoming and the house had everything we needed, along with being in a brilliant location - it was a lovely touch arriving to scones, cream, jam andRead more milk too! Would recommend without hesitation - we will definitely be back! Hide

My family stayed here over New Year. The accommodation was beautifully clean and cosy with flowers on the table and some champagne in the fridge as well as some chocolates for us on arrival. Lovely big living space for all the family to come together for meals and games evenings.
