Halcyon

The atmosphere of the house and garden was so relaxed and lovely, and what a fantastic location - we loved it for all the doorstep walking and local beaches. A home from home feel somewhere relatively out of the way, yet still some great places to eat within walking distance. We found it to be a great base for local exploration whatever the varied Cornwall weather came up with - the utility came in very handy for those rainy days too. We had a great week and would love to come back. Thanks Halcyon!...

This property is as impressive as the setting and views it enjoys: all are splendid. The location is relaxing and peaceful, with a get-away-from-it-all feel, and the view of Nare Head is spectacular - enhanced by the superb picture windows. Halcyon is spacious and very well appointed, with everything you could want for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, including a lovely garden, and it was a wrench for us to depart at the end of our week....

Our second stay at Halcyon and it is as comfortable as ever. The views of the sea and the bay are wonderful. The garden is lovely and so peaceful with birds and wild life to watch. We were so lucky with wall to wall sunshine for two weeks but plenty to do if the weather is not so kind....

Halcyon is a most comfortable and well positioned property for a holiday to explore at a slower pace. Once there we were able to get about either on foot or taking very short car journeys to beaches, coast path, food shops and restaurants nearby. For further exploring it is easy to go in either direction to visit the rest of Cornwall and come home to a peaceful and relaxing house....

Halcyon is in the most fantastic location, 5 minutes walk to beautiful Porthcurnick beach, and 15 minutes over the coastal path to the picture perfect village of Portscatho. We didn’t use the car all week ! We were an extended family of grandparents, parents, aunty and a toddler and the space was amazing for us. The house is wonderful - spacious, comfortable and so well equipped. The beds are huge and comfy; having 3 bathrooms was really practical, especially after a morning on the beach! The kitchen and utility room are really well equipped. The living room with stunning sea views was plenty big enough with comfy seating for everyone. We enjoyed the big garden with ample seating and some fun garden games to enjoy. Ours was largely a blissfully simple bucket and spade, pottering in the village type holiday but we also managed a pre breakfast swim every morning ( so easy when it’s only a 5 minute stroll to the sea!) , and some wonderful coastal path walks from the door. The scenery is simply stunning. We love Cornwall but have never been to this area before and could not believe how un-crowded everywhere was- it’s like this beautiful peninsula has somehow avoided the crazy holiday crush we expected in school holidays ! Our family all live far apart and this was the perfect place to get together. We hope to return ! ...
