Beautifully presented quirky property with lots of original features, lots of space for the whole family and great for the dog with an enclosed garden and convenient wet room for washing the dog and rinsing wetsuits! Comfortable beds with fresh bed linens and fluffy towels and plenty of bathrooms.

Very interesting property with good facilities.Off road parking was not very practical however, this was not an issue as there was always a space on the road just outside.

Character property that’s perfectly located for the beaches and Padstow

Church House was brilliant. Perfect location for Constantine Bay and Padstow. St Merryn has lots on offer - including Doghouse for pizza and a drink, Froth Coffee, Fryer Tuck’s Fish and Chips and Rick Stein’s Cornish Arms. Quirky property but with every need thought of. Beautifully laid out house with most bedrooms and the master bathroom in the same wing, the old Sunday School. Plenty of bathrooms and great countryside views from the balcony and easy access to local footpaths. A sizeable, private garden and a barbecue too. You can just about squeeze two cars on the drive but road parking isn’t too bad outside of school drop off and pick up times (as the property neighbours a school). Lots of entertainment for rainy days from pool to table tennis to board games. Only very minor niggles - the lockbox code in the app and via automated email were incorrect but I found the right code in Vrbo messages from the host. The WiFi instructions were also out of date. We would love to stay again!

Large spacious property but very cosy and warm.

Clean, modern with an olde fashion twist. Loved the fresh fluffy white towels - nice touch. All modern conveniences included as well as a good sound system. Liked the fact that all cleaning products supplied - makes life easier.

Wintery week whilst selling local property

We loved our stay at Church House. What would have been a very stressful week due to our house move was made that bit easier staying here. To be able to relax by the fire in the cosy living area whilst also enjoying open plan living. The bedroom on the mezzanine level was perfect and we made good use of the fireman’s pole! We will certainly be back, next time with friends and are already looking at available weeks.

Beyond our expectations

Great property. Much larger than the photos suggest, with plenty of space. We stayed here as 4 couples and were able to stay out of each other's way when we wanted to. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Great location, very easy to get to, with space for two cars on the driveway and more on the road, with a couple of local pubs in walking distance (including Rick Stein's). Facilities were excellent with everything you can imagine, catered for. We loved the bluetooth enabled stereo system. We really wanted to use the log burner, but the building was just too warm to justify it (and it was the end of January!). The deposit was returned in a timely manner without prompting and the owners/mgt team were very prompt to answer any questions asked on the lead up to the break.

Great property, good location

We, 6 adults, two children and two dogs, stayed for a week and I can say we found everything fantastic with the property, lots of room, everything catered for and no issues whatsoever (apart from the weather!!). I would have no hesitation in recommending this property. It is walkable to a number of bays and the dogs absolutely loved themselves.
