Great place with a stunning view

We had a most enjoying holiday in this very well kept house, spotless clean with good facilities. The rooms were spacious, beds, linen and mattresses very comfortable. We enjoyed the near-by coast path and a small sandy beach in walking distance. Very quiet and nice to watch the sea or the golfers. We'd definitely come again if we went to Cornwall another time.

Lovely cottage right on the golf course, lovely views.

Lovely cottage right on the golf course, my husband had two excellent rounds of golf while we were there for the week, I waved at him him from the cottage over looking the 17th hole. I loved the view across the bay when I was sitting in the reclining chair sipping a glass of wine, we were lucky and had great weather. We didn't want for anything and we even had a food delivery to our doorstep on the first night.

Great location and well appointed

Our contact with the owner from booking to arrival was super. The cottage is really well placed to explore this corner of Cornwall, with so much on the doorstep, from the southwest coast path and loads of local attractions, and so much more beyond. The house is well appointed and the kitchen is very well equipped (first time we've ever had a decent knife set in a rental👍). The views are just lovely! Our only downside was that the lounge furniture could do with a refresh, other than that it was fabulous. A very enjoyable Christmas week.

Again we sincerely apologise that the cottage was not ready for you on your arrival. As I explained at the time, we were let down by our cleaners. We have taken measures to try to ensure this does not happen again. We hope it didn’t spoil the rest of your holiday and that you will return so we can demonstrate the welcome you should have had this time.

Golf and Sea Views

It took us a while to find the property down narrow roads (not good for hubbies patience!) plus we thought the entrance was a builders yard - turned out to be green keepers shed. Property and views were lovely but to access beach meant going down these same roads. We enjoyed our stay at the property which was lovely and peaceful and revisited some old haunts around Cornwall.

Good accomodation

We enjoyed our stay. The route discription was alright but we missed the entry because we did not recognize the greenkeepers house. To us it looks more like a barn. The house and kitchen is very good equipped and we did (NEARLY) not miss a thing. Beds very comfortable. The "relax armchairs" are very worn off at the head- and at the armrests. We covered the headrests with our own towels, so we felt better. It was a great pitty that the key for the terrace door was "misteriously" missing. We do understand that it was not possible to contact the cleaner (who might have accidentally forgotten to put it where it belonged) at the bank holiday weekend. After that it was disappointing to get the message that it was not possible to organize this or another key for the door. So we were not able to let fresh air into the room (for a week!) and had to walk all around the house when we wanted to sit on the terrace to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea out there. The view was pretty much reduced because the door windows were not really clear. So the missing key was the big "minus" for our stay. The area is beautiful and quiet. Except some golf players there are not many people around the house. Within 10 minutes (by car) one can reach supermarkets, restaurants and the city of St. Austell. Nearby attractions like the EDEN Project, Heligans lost gardens and Wheal Martyn are reachable within 30 minutes. The way to the beach and the coastal path itself are very steep, though.

Dave's Idyllic Week

From the day we made the booking last year to getting home just now, after having the holiday, I have nothing but good things to say. I made a few enquiries regarding the property and Shona always responded immediately. The instructions we received were detailed and very helpful, even down to recommended places to eat. The property itself was excellent, with many helpful extras, and the view to the front over the sea through the ever open patio doors was a joy in itself. I have already made a booking for the same property next year and we are looking forward to it already. Many thanks Shona and all the very best from, Dave, Isabel and Samantha.

The location and views make this a very special place to stay.

Having rented other cottages in the block before, we did think this was slightly smaller but still adequate for four adults. Parking was awkward as in the info it said extra parking was available opposite the greenkeepers hut. This however isn't the case as we were asked to move.

Thank you for your review. Having the plans for all the cottages I can assure you they are all exactly the same size. We will take up the parking issue with the golf club as it has changed ownership several times and the current owners may not be aware of the arrangement. I do hope this did not spoil your holiday

About the host

Hosted by Shona Blake

Host profile image
We love Cornwall! We bought the cottage to share that love with our boys and family and friends

Why they chose this property

We chose the cottage because we fell in love with the view! When we drove in at the top of the drive we said to one another that the cottage was going to have to be falling down for us to not want to buy with a view like that.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has to have one of the best views in Cornwall. Even the very expensive houses in Carlyon Bay don't have as good a view of St Austell Bay. Now that our boys are growing up and playing golf, the benefit of having a golf course on our doorstep is huge, and the course is great. It's effectively both a parkland and links course, with 9 holes of each!
