No 7 Churchtown

We had a lovely stay at No 7 Churchtown, such a convenient location tucked just off the main centre of St Agnes, so nice and close to shops, pubs and great cafes, but still only a 15 min walk to the beach at Trevaunance Cove. Fab 2 level garden meaning you can soak up the sun at different times of the day. Parking on the main village car park was easy via the RingGo app....

This is a beautifully renovated terrace house, right in the centre of St Agnes. Very clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. There is no parking, just about possible to drop off car outside long enough to unpack and repack, so be prepared to use the main St Agnes carpark, a five minute walk away. £3.00 covered parking overnight til 10am or free overnight until 7am. Due the location we found it noisy in the evenings. The St Agnes hotel, almost next door, is very busy with people drinking outside in the evenings, sometimes til late when it can get very loud. The weather wasn’t great, so imagine it’s even busier in the main summer season on fine evenings. Early morning deliveries also woke us up sometimes. Advice would be to bring ear plugs unless you don’t mind the noise. This aside, it’s a great location, as you can walk anywhere within lovely St Agnes itself, including down to the beach. Wonderful coastal walks too and Chapel Porth, another gem, just around the corner. There’s a fabulous pizza takeaway, the best we’ve ever had, and a great seafood restaurant almost next door. Excellent other eateries and independent shops. Plenty to see and do for a week in a great part of Cornwall. ...

A beautiful , spacious and well furnished and well equipped cottage in a perfect location in the heart of the lovely St Agnes . Friendly & welcoming neighbours. The cottage is in a great location & we highly recommend The Sorting Office for coffee & cake , St Agnes bakery for bread & pasties . The Tap House for food , The Driftwood Spars for a Sunday roast & all the other local shops & businesses .Managed to park close by during our stay without any issues. One thing we would add about previous reviews is that there was absolutely no noise from the pub & we never heard the cockerel & slept well the whole week . Dogs in the village no issue at all & no sign of any dog mess either. St Agnes is a beautifully kept village . We will definitely be re-booking 7 Churchtown. ...

Stayed here for a week for my husbands 40th birthday. Really beautiful cottage, comfortable and luxurious with all amenities and great attention to detail. Shower was brilliant, TV and channels were good. We had a very comfortable stay here - my son loved all the cushions!. The scones were such a lovely touch, we were very grateful for these. The local bakery is incredible, amazing portion sizes, costs and great quality. Will visit if ever in the area again! Also a local artist in one of the shops next to the cottage is defintiely worth a visit. Location good to visit Falmouth and national trust beaches. Quite a steep walk to the beach, but nice to be able to visit for a few hours in the day. We didn't eat out much, but did visit the Peterville inn, which was lovely for the family and good service. Recommend the fish and chips. A couple of niggles - the local pub is visible from main bedroom window and locals tend to stay outside until late, which you can clearly hear in bed. Also, cockerels wake daily at 5am. Parking is an extra cost of 5 pounds a day (not clear on the website), and a little walk from the cottage. Managable but be aware before booking as it will add to the overall cost. Didn't spend much time in the town - local walks were overgrown and not suitable with our 3 year old, and unfortunately there are a lot of dogs in the area but no green spaces and little cleaning up done so the smell could be overwhelming. Overall I would recommend the beautiful cottage, but be aware of the surrounding areas....

Beautiful cottage hidden away off the Main Street. The cottage was tastefully furnished, with well equipped kitchen, everything you would need for self catering, even a lemon squeezer and super sharp knives. Lovely soft towels and good quality bedding. We arrived on a particularly wet cold day for July, and the cottage was quite chilly, we tried to advance the heating to no avail, we contacted Classic Cottages who gave us the housekeepers number, but unfortunately the number we were given was not correct. The following day however, the housekeeper and her husband came to look at the problem but again unfortunately neither of us could advance the heating. The housekeeper contacted the owners who then arranged for a local plumber to come to look at the problem. He ordered a new programmable thermostat and the problem was sorted out albeit after 5 days. St Agnes is a quaint village on the coast with all you need close by including butchers, bakers (most tasty ever sour dough bread and pastries) farm shop, deli, pubs and local caught fish shop, J Earl, just a mile away towards Chapel Porth beach (fresh crab was superb in Nigella Lawson linguine recipe). Parking is not easy but is workable with council car park at top of the village. St Agnes Head just out of the village has spectacular views. Places to visit near by include, Perranporth, Mylor bridge with great marina, and Holywell Bay beach, also only one hour away to Padstow, Carbis Bay and St Ives. For us St Agnes is one of Cornwalls best kept secrets, so let’s keep it that way, would definitely want to return. A true Cornish gem....
