A beautiful stay in an idyllic cornish village. The old post office is charming and cosy and a great location for days out.

Great character cottage in a lovely village

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.

The Old POst office

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.

great beach base

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.

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

Lovely cottage in great location

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.
