We've stayed in many places in Cornwall and this one exceeded expectations and people often say in reviews that they'll be back but this on this one we actually mean it. The cottage is comfortable and superbly situated allowing us to leave the car and take walks to either Portreath Beach and Porthtowan. Colin and Sally are extremely friendly and helpful. We hope to return next year and fully expect to see Colin's rosettes on the gate from showing his prize 'cow'...

Beautiful property in a lovely setting. The owners were very kind and helpful. Our son is currently using a wheelchair and Colin, the owner, built a ramp so we could get our son in and out of the property, this was exceptionally kind.

We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The barn was perfect for the 3 of us and had everything you could need. Flowers, cream tea, milk and biscuits on arrival is always appreciated. It was a perfectly located spot for easy access to amenities, the coastal path and the beach. A quite and peaceful location with a wonderful sunny garden and patio. We had a fabulous break....

An absolutely perfect holiday. The location is fantastic - so close to Porthtowan and Portreath beaches both of which are lovely with rock pools, tidal pools and surfing. Clean, well equipped, cosy cottage that exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort (lovely beds, bedding, towels etc). Loved the cosy log burner. Colin is a lovely host - he took us to see the cows in his truck and let the children help feed the hens and collect eggs. Their dogs were so well behaved - great with our young children but didn’t bother us. We’d love to visit again. ...
