Silvermine House Reviews

Phyllis

As usual the booking process with Sykes was simple and straightforward. Updates and correspondence was informative, helpful and timely. As our holiday drew nearer we received a warm introduction email from Sonya and Paul. Straightaway they made us feel really special, and that nothing was too much trouble. They provided very detailed answers to the questions I had about the property and where it was appropriate they provided photograph evidence. Information about local attractions was also really helpful. On arrival at Silvermine we were blown away by the presentation of the property. The photos are lovely but do not do justice. Wow! Silvermine truly is wonderful! Not only that, the welcome we received was outstanding. Meeting Sonya and Paul was like catching up with old friends they were so warm and friendly. Achieving comfort, wellbeing and the best possible experience for their guests is clearly their priority. The lights were on, beautiful Christmas tree and decorations, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam. The kitchen is very well resourced with quality tableware, cookware and utensils. There was tea, coffee and fresh milk available. The provision of toilet rolls, hand soap and shower gel bin liners and cleaning products including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cleaning spray sufficient for the duration of our stay was very much appreciated. Silvermine is comfortable, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Have to mention the gorgeous views from the front of the house! Stunning!! The website description is accurate. We enjoyed our stay at Silvermine so much I booked to return next Christmas before we left! Congratulations to Sonya and Paul for their first class service and excellent facilitation. We are looking forward to returning. Thank you.

HOSTS Sonya and Paul were responsive, professional, friendly and very helpful. They want you to have a wonderful time while you are staying at Silvermine. They are on hand if you need any help. But never intrusive. Paul and Sonya could teach other hosts how to run a holiday home to such high levels of customer satisfaction PROPERTY lots of space for our large group. Plenty of bathrooms , one of bathrooms had a bath.Thoughtfully decorated, comfortable beds, good quality towels and bed linen. Good quality pots and pans and sharp kitchen knives which is unusual in a holiday let. Cosy blankets for wrapping up on the sofa. Wood burner, fuel provided. Very clean. Outside area has a massive garden with the most majestic views whatever the weather. LOCATION for our 3 generation family it was perfect. We enjoy hiking, house on the SW coastal path a real plus, beach for little ones in walking distance and plenty of pubs and high end restaurants nearby. Handy location for nearby places to visit, Eden Project, Heligan, Lanhydrock and many more. AMENITIES hot tub was a perfect treat , good quality and plentiful fluffy towels provided. Our adult children and their partners enjoyed using the gym. We were able to store bikes in the gym, which is a real plus if you want to cycle. A huge smart TV for cosy nights in watching a film. OVERALL Silvermine really is a very special place, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. We hope that we will be able to return again with our growing family. We will have many happy memories. Thank you Sonya and Paul. Our only negative comment was the garden chairs and loungers, which were lovely, but couldn't be used because the cushions were soaking, we would have liked to sit outside for lunch in the beautiful garden with its magnificent views. Just a thought maybe the cushions could be stored in the games room..

Silvermine was a beautiful home and had everything to keep us entertained during our stay. From the generous treats left for us upon arrival to the toiletries in the bathrooms the host had thought of everything. The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole house was plush and functional. Silvermine was a fantastic location to base ourselves at to allow us to explore Cornwall.

Cormac

Silvermine is a magical place for a family. Brilliant facilities and an incredible location. We've been twice now and the owners make a special effort to make you feel welcome.

Yvonne

This property lived up to all our expectations and more. It was great for our family holiday consisting of 3 generations. It had plenty of space to spread out into. All participants enjoyed there holiday in this accommodation. The kitchen was well equipped and the addition of a cream tea and wine on arrival was a bonus

Amanda

Silvermine House is a beautiful house with excellent views and facilities. It suited our needs well. Paul and Sonya are excellent hosts

Angela

On arrival to this beautiful house we were met by the host Sonya who was very welcoming and friendly. On entering the house it was spotlessly clean. A very lovely touch of homemade scones with jam and clotted cream awaited us and 2 lovely bottles of wine. Bedrooms were fantastic for all the family. Me and my husband stayed in the room with ensuite passed the utility away from the main bedrooms, very quiet and peaceful. Upstairs lounge with amazing views was stunning, with games and books for all ages. The games room which is separate from the house had a pool table, Sega console, kids and adults loved it and also the juke box were you could listen to your own cds, vinyls or music from your phone was fab. Met Paul who came to sort out a problem we had noticed with the Sega and again was very friendly. The hot tub which was used at night when all the children were asleep was lovely and warm. In all you can't fault this beautiful home, great location for getting out and about, asda 5 mins away, with everything you would need for an amazing holiday with family or friends. Definitely 5. Thank you Sonya and Paul. X

The house, surroundings, quality of the items in the house were exceptional! There was nothing too much trouble. Plenty for all ages to do in the house and grounds. It was just gorgeous. We would certainly recommend this house.

We would give Silvermine a million star rating if we could, it is so great! We would revisit in an instant! The House is fantastic, jaw dropping in fact absolutely beautiful and immaculate in a stunning location! The property is spacious, light and airy, peaceful and private, perfect for a multigenerational family like us or a large group. Sonya and Paul, so friendly and just downright lovely, have thought of everything you could possibly need and more the list is endless from scones with jam and clotted cream, milk in the fridge and wine to Elmis products in every beautiful bathroom! With Cornish hospitality at its absolute best, thank you Sonya and Paul we have made memories we will treasure forever.

Silvermine House is a truly stunning property set in a beautiful location it was the perfect place to celebrate a special birthday with our family members. It was all we could have wished for and more. Sonya and Paul were always very quick to respond to any questions and give advice on the local area. Thank you Sonya and Paul

Sonya is the perfect host making us feel so welcome. Silvermine house is perfect, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The garden is lovely, a great place to relax. We were lucky enough to be visited by several deer one evening. The views are fabulous. We didnt want to leave this amazing property.

Silvermine House is the best place in the world we have ever stayed. The photographs dont do it justice and it is stunning. I cried when we left! Paul & Sonya have created the most perfect place and everything is of high standard and perfect for people to spend quality time together in a spacious environment. I will never forget the view from the kitchen window and memories of us playing on the grass in front of the house and being in the hot tub in all weather conditions. Great place to explore Cornwall and amazing beach Porthpean easy to walk too. Really hope we can go back again soon.

Silvermine lived up to everything we had hoped for. It was a fantastic house in an idyllic location and proved to be the ideal base for a family holiday.

Silvermine House was beautiful , a real home from home, very comfortable. The owner was on hand for any needs and was very welcoming and helpful.

Joanna

Beautiful setting, wonderful holiday house, very kind & friendly hosts. We couldn't wish for a better holiday experience, thank you! It was lovely to be able to walk to the beach and along cliff top from the driveway of our house. We also enjoyed our visits to Charlestown, Fowey, Polruan & Padstow. We hope to visit again soon.

Victoria

Brilliant house! ! We had a fabulous week & absolutely loved staying at Silvermine. The house was perfect for our group & we made the most of the surrounding area & hot tub! Sonya was incredibly accommodating and we couldnt have asked for the nicer location & more perfect house. Would highly highly recommend

Cormac

What an absolutely fabulous location. View of St Austell Bay was incredible and a delight to wake up to every day. Owners were on hand but left us to enjoy our holiday. Games room was a lovely feature but best was the large lounge where we could all hang out of an evening. An unforgetable holiday for the family.

Hereward

Really welcoming and accommodating

Christine

Silvermine was perfect for our family to enjoy a much needed holiday together. The owners have put a lot of thought into it. Lovely spacious bedrooms with lovely showersbathrooms, large well equipped family kitchen, huge upstairs family lounge and of course a beautiful outdoor area with hot tub. We would certainly recommend it. Hopefully we will return ourselves.

As soon as we arrived at Silvermine House it exceeded our expectations and more. The property was exceptionally clean and has beautiful interiors. The views were stunning, we had lots of days out planned but the house was so lovely to be around we just wanted to stay there most days, It is a special place. The owners Sonya and Paul are so lovely and welcoming. The children in our party just loved it especially the games room and we all enjoyed the hot Tub. We will definitely visit again, I just wish we had longer there.

Leonie

We had a fantastic stay at Silvermine House it has everything you need and more, and is in a wonderful location. Paul and Sonya could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thankyou for a wonderful stay!

Caroline

I can honestly say that this is the best holiday home I have ever stayed in. The house was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The views from the garden are magnificent, you just could sit there all day. The location was perfect as the property was tucked away but only a mile and a half from a supermarket to pick up holiday supplies. Sonya and Paul were extremely helpful both before our stay and during our stay. I honestly couldnt have wished to stay anywhere nicer. Would go back in a heart beat.

Sonya was very welcoming and helpful during and in the lead up to our holiday. The scones on arrival were delicious! Silvermine is a fabulous location and holiday rental they have thought of everything you could need and more for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We look forward to booking again soon!

This was our third stay at Silvermine House for a multigenerational holiday, and it was as wonderful as before but with the added bonus that we felt we were coming home! The house is always spotlessly clean. It is well laid out and wellequipped, and hosts Sonya and Paul are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We were always comfortable, and the views are to die for. We cant wait to return.

Lovely House. Wonderful view. Owners very helpful nothing to much trouble.

Thomas

Incredible property, amazing views, great location and the loveliest of owners. What more could anyone want from a holiday in Cornwall!?!

Pictures dont do this property justice our second visit , wonderful ... Pictures dont do this property justice our second visit , wonderful accommodation and location ,spotlessly clean ,host lovely

We stayed at Silvermine during halfterm February 2022 and absolutely loved it, five stars all the way. There were 11 of us and more than enough room to accommodate us all. The kitchen is equipped with a range cooker, american fridge freezer and a long benched table meeting our needs perfectly. The whole house is of a very high standard equipped with all the modern luxuries. The views are amazing, coastal walks on your door step and a hot tub to relax in admiring the view. The owner, Paul, is a great host and around if needed for anything otherwise we were left to our own privacy. Thoroughly recommend.

We all had a wonderful time. Silvermine House is a great place to relax and share time with family and friends. The owners, Paul & Sonya, couldn't have been more welcoming. We definitely plan to return.

Debbie

Silvermine house was everything we could have wished for for our Christmas break. Well equipped, the games room was a great hit for pool competitions, comfortable & stunning views. The hosts Sonya & Paul were most helpful with queries before we arrived nothing seemed to be too much trouble & a lovely gesture of sconces jam cream & wine on arrival. We will defiantly be back.

This is a fantastic holiday property! Having travelled all around Cornwall and stayed in a number of purportedley 5 star homes, Silvermine is actually better than how it is described. The home is extremely well appointed and kept in excellent condition, it has everything you need, including a great living space, kitchen and games room. This of course does not include the unbelievable views of St Austell bay. Sonya and Paul make great hosts and are discreetly on hand to help even when you manage to lose the front door key!. We stayed as a group of eight and there was easily room for more. A great place which we cannot recommend enough.

We had a great week that we will never forget! A beautiful house with amazing facilities and the location was perfect. Sonya and Paul couldnt have been more helpful and were always there for anything we needed. Highly recommend!

Silvermine house was in a beautiful peaceful location set within it's own grounds and it has been beautifully kept by Sonya and Paul who are an extremely nice couple. They were always available if needed not that we needed anything. Silvermine is very spacious particularly the large lounge area which was beautiful to relax in after our evening meal. I would recommend Silvermine to anyone who needs space, room and a relaxing environment. We had a golden wedding anniversary celebration using dineindulge.co.uk who arrange for a local chef to come along and cookserve a meal. The chef and food was excellent with and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion. Thanks once again to Sonya and Paul

Richard

Silvermine House is just the most wonderful home from home holiday place. The owners, who are just the nicest people you could wish to meet, have covered everything and eventuality you could possibly imagine. We were eleven people including two oldies and four children and the fantastic accommodation allowed ultimate flexibility for us all. What else, oh yes, fantastic views, short walk to the nearest beach, beautiful outdoor areas, hot tub and games room with gym. Lots of great laughs had with pool tournaments most days. Altogether a most wonderful place which I can whole heartedly recommend and really hope to revisit.

Silvermine House is a wonderful holiday base, especially for multigenerational family holidays. Paul and Sonya are excellent hosts and are helpful and friendly. We are very much looking forward to returning.

Philip

Fabulous place, great views, great location. Owners Sonya and Paul who live in the cottage next door are fantastic. Very helpful and responsive whilst ensuring you get all the privacy and time to yourself you need.

Rachel

Silvermine House is an absolutely beautiful property with all the comforts we could possibly have wanted for our holiday. It allowed us to spend time with extended family and we wouldnt hesitate to go back. It is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and the views out over the sea are stunning.

Robert

Silvermine house is in a fabulous location and the house is even better than the images on the website suggest. The hosts are on hand and available if needed but other than a lovely welcome we were left to get on with having a fantastic holiday ! The house is very well equipped and tastefully decorated throughout . The grounds are beautiful and have the added bonus of hot tub and games room with gymn. We would love to return in the future.

Amazing house with fantastic hosts.
