Fantastic trip

My wife, myself and our golden retriever Owen were delighted with the property. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable surroundings and dog friendly garden were just a few of the facilities provided by the friendly hosts of The Brambles as were the bottle of wine and scones upon our arrival. A perfect holiday base. Thank you so much

The perfect place to come back to after a long day on the beach!

A large and comfortable family home that was welcoming and relaxing all in one. One of the most relaxing and peaceful properties we have stayed in around the area of St. Merryn. The facilities were more than adequate and the layout of the property meant lots of nooks and crannies to sit in and chill and read a book or listen to music or just some quiet contemplation. The bed was large and sumptuous with a deep deep mattress. A perfect resting place after a long day on the beach. Large, plenty of room - safe garden for dogs. Thanks for letting us stay.

Spacious, clean and well equipped holiday home with very helpful owner.

Our family had a fantastic week at this fabulous holiday home which was clean, quiet and well equipped. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for 6 and a dog and a lovely garden. Gill, the owner, left a welcome gift of drink/ food which was much appreciated. There was useful information in the home too. The area was very near several stunning beaches and a few miles from beautiful Padstow. The village, a mile away, had great pubs ( early booking needed) and a shop for essentials. The small country roads were very busy in the middle of the day so going out early helped with this! We would love to come back again. Fabulous cottage, helpful owner and brilliant location!

About the host

Hosted by Gillian LOVEGROVE

Host profile image
This was originally our own spacious and comfortable home which we have successfully let out for the past 17 years during the summer months whilst we lived on our narrowboat on the UK canals. Due to my husbands ill health we now live in a small annexe attached to the property and the main house is available for letting all year round.. Our daughter lives a a self contained annexe at the other end of the property. The area for guest is completely self contained both inside and out. There is parking for two guests cars on the driveway immediately in fron of the house.

Why they chose this property

Brambles is situated in a small close of 5 similar properties set back from the main road. It is quiet and peaceful away from the main bustle of the holiday trade. However it is 1 mile from the village of St Merryn which has 2 pubs, grocery store, baker, several restairants and a take-away. Within 2 miles there are 7 beautiful sandy beaches. There are plenty of coastal and countryside walks easily accessible, although a car is necessary.

What makes this property unique

Brambles was originally our main home where we lived during the winter, whilst in the summer we lived on our narrowboat. A fair amount of our possessions still have a place in the house making it really a comfortable home from home. There are plenty of books, games and childrens toys. However we now live permanently at Brambles in a self contained annexe to one end of the property. Our daughter lives in another self contained annexe at the other end of the house. The main letting house between the two is completely self contained , both in the house and the garden. The garden/dining area allows you to enjoy the garden even on the occasional rainy day. WE have fibre broadband to the house.
