We really enjoyed our stay - the cottage is cosy yet has three good sized rooms and lots of character. Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Perfect location for exploring Padstow, Newquay, Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay.

Thank you for your review, we're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Safe travels!
Excellent location in the middle of St. Mawgan, just 100 metres from village shop, tea rooms and delightful pub (serving great food). The house was very clean, cosy and beautifully decorated. Only a five-minute drive to the wonderful beach at Mawgan Porth.

Hi Stepan, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your trip getting to know St Mawnan and found the cottage cosy and comfortable. We'd love to host you again sometime!
it was a lovely cottage although the photos were misleading as it looked a lot bigger in the photos than in real life! The cottage was comfy and easy to live in, the parking spaces ere on the opposite side of the road but it wasn't a major problem as the road was quite quiet.

Hi Sue, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We think our photos give a true reflection of size, and we are glad you found the cottage comfortable! We would love to welcome you back in future.
Lovely place to stay, only problem was that the oven didn't work and we didn't realise until the last night we stayed there. I'm sure this will be fixed ASAP!
Also, be careful on the road outside, there was some dangerous driving by boy racers as the pub was near closing time.
The welcome pack was an utterly lovely surprise and much appreciated! And the staff at the local shop and pub are very friendly. We recommend this accomodation
We have stayed at a lot cottage over the years . To be honest it’s never as good as you expect. But this is the exception . It has been thought out through out . A lovely house with a modern twist. We love it . And return this year. Thank you
Very comfortable & attractively presented cottage. It has everything you would need & we felt very much at home. St Mawgan has a useful shop, a very good pub & a couple of cafes. It’s a 30 to 40 minute walk along a very pleasant path to the beach so a really good option if you want a quiet base for exploring the area.
There is a decent sized courtyard garden which was secure & not overlooked. We visited in late September so we didn’t get much sun in the garden but I’m sure in the summer months it would a lovely sun trap.
One thing to note is that the front door opens directly onto the not particularly busy road but something to be aware of if you have pets or young children.
Would be happy to return or recommend to others.
