We had such a lovely time at the cottage, perfect spot for exploring Cornwall’s stunning beaches and scenic spots. Being a family of three generations, everyone felt comfortable - the rooms were cosy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Despite the weather being a bit gloomy, we still enjoyed activities like cycling the Camel Trail and taking the train from St Erth to St Ives. But honestly, the highlight was soaking up the sunshine at one of the many gorgeous beaches. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here for a week in October 22 with a group of 9 adults. The cottage was really spacious and comfy, perfect for us. The location is fantastic, close to beaches for surfing and bodyboarding. I’m not usually into hot tubs, but I have to admit, we enjoyed it! Also, there’s a lovely circular walk to Portreath. We’re already considering coming back sometime soon. Definitely a great spot!

We had a great stay at this property. The layout was really convenient for our family, with separate sleeping areas and bathrooms, which made things easy with kids and grandparents. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The location was spot on - plenty of attractions within half an hour’s drive. The pub nearby was walkable, but with little ones, we preferred driving. The owners were super friendly and helpful. All in all, a lovely place we’d definitely return to!
