Hellfire Jacks Reviews

Zunaira
We were an extended family of 9 who came to stay in this cottage for a graduation weekend and we absolutely loved it! Couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in :) Owners were also super lovely and helpful and the hot tub was fab.
Nicola
Lovely location away from it all and yet walking distance to Portreath and the beach. Despite it being October/November we had fun on the beaches, visiting lots of places. We felt very welcome at Trengove Farm and would definitely go again, thanks
Lesleyanne
Really lovely hosts at Hellfire Jacks, friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed our stay, beds were comfy, plenty of space in the property for us all, we especially enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen was just right for making a roast dinner too. Would highly recommend the Portreath Arms for an evening meal, reasonable price for tasty food. Good walks froRead morem the door. Hide
Bridget
Hellfire Jacks was the ideal cottage for all of our family to get together, all four generations. The owners were friendly and very helpful. Beautifully clean with the hot tub emptied and cleaned for each new booking. An ideal base for a Cornish holiday whatever the time of year.
Susan
Jacks Hellfire was great for our large family gathering, it was perfect in every way, clean, well equiped, fantastic location and a lovely welcome from the owner.
Simon
Warm welcome, very willing to help. Spacious accommodation (5 bed cottage). Roomy hottub. Loved it. Thank you.
Dan
We are a family 4 generations . The layout was just perfect for us all . The location is great and the fact you can walk down to the bay via a farm lane with no traffic was brilliant . Our grandchildren had the best time playing in the park and in the huge field with balls kites teddies etc. we loved the resident dog she is adorable . Thank you mr Richards you are charm itself !
Jane
Great accommodation in a super location. It is a very short drive into Portreath or a pleasant walk along a lane. There were 10 of us (11 if you count the baby) plus the dog and we found the layout of the house absolutely perfect for us. There is a field adjacent to the house for games of football and there is a small playground. The hot tub was al so great and got lots of use. We would definitely recommend it and visit again.
ROGER
Very comfortable accommodation with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen. Mrs. Richards was very helpful when we phoned with enquiries and Andrew made us feel most welcome. A super play area with plenty of space to kick a ball around. Great location!
Keren
What a wonderful family holiday we had, thank you very much. The cottage was comfortable and warm and had everything that we needed. Lovely cottage, great area, caring hosts.
Colin
We spent a week here in October 22. As a party of 9 adults, it was a very comfortable and spacious cottage. The location is great with easy access to beaches for surfing/bodyboarding. I'm not a hot tub person but I must say, we did use it and it was very nice! Note that it is possible to do a nice circular walk to Portreath. Will definitely think a bout returning in future.
Sara
Spacious property would suit large family or group who want to use it as a base. Lovely welcome pack of milk, biscuits and Prosecco. The kitchen is basic and only suitable for simple meals or takeout. Location great with a challenging walk to Portreath - take a torch if walking back from the pub! Not much in the property to entertain a family on a wet day so come prepared.
Keith
Friendly, helpful owners. Perfect for us and our two daughters and their young families.
Clare
Lovely location and accommodates 10 easily with space to chill as well as eat WiFi connection was good, so those in the party needing to work a few days could easily. Portreath Arms was in walking distance & served delicious food Thank you for a lovely stay
Janet
Wonderful location, beautiful cottage, just the perfect setting for a family get together.
Kathryn
Perfect for a big group, cosy yet still lots of space. We loved staying here.
Laura
Lovely property. Really good layout - perfect for our family (1 set of grandparents and then 2 families with children) as we all had our own sleeping areas which were through doors with bathrooms. Well equipped property. I found it to be a really good location. There were plenty of days out etc within a half hour drive. A pub was within walking dis tance but as we had young children we felt it was a little too far/narrow roads with no paths. Property owners helpful and friendly.
Martin
This property is just fantastic. The location is perfect for a getaway to Cornwall as it's very central to anywhere you would want to go. It's also out of the way so no road noise, no crowded areas, just peace and quiet, which was exactly what we needed. There is a hot tub which is well maintained and great for relaxing at the end of the day. The w hole property is well looked after and was beautiful with the blossom tree in the courtyard. The owners were fantastic as well, nothing was too much.
Sandra
The owners were very helpful and the property was very comfortable and clean. As we were a group of 10 there was plenty of room and we all enjoyed the hot tub (although we had to brave the very cold wind before we got in the lovely warm water) Also we would recommend the walk down to Portreath which we all enjoyed. Would also recommend the food at the Portreath Arms and Basset Arms as both were excellent.
Jaspreet
Fantastic location. Everything was immaculately clean and felt very homely. Kids loved it especially hot tub. Plenty of outdoor open space which our dog loved. Great area for walks if you love walking. Have already recommended this place to many friends.
Paula
Girls weekend has been smashing, owners were amazing. Will definitely return for our reunion. Thank you so much.
Sara
Fabulous barn conversion, very clean, spacious and comfortable especially as 3 families staying at the same time. The bedrooms were separated out perfectly for the 3 families to have their own family space too.
Lauren
A great holiday , lovely location and a wonderful cottage. Shelley Barnes
Stephanie
An amazing home! Everything was very well thought out to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The house was spotless with fluffy towels, dressing gowns, bath mats, toilet rolls and toiletries provided, even a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge! The bedrooms are split into 3 sections; a twin and a double downstairs with a corridor from the kitchen, a double off the kitchen and another twin and double upstairs with a corridor meaning each family had their own space. Perfect stay!
