Ideal cottage in an ideal location

My husband and I stayed at Matthew's cottage for a little over two weeks and it was perfect! Very comfortable rooms, good kitchen (we made our own dinner on a few occasions), dishwasher, washing machine...most of the comforts of home but in an idyllic location of rolling hills and hidden coves. Close to great seaside towns and beautiful hiking by paths. We miss it and can't recommend it highly enough!

Much better than advertised!

Hard to adequately describe this unique property. Can't say enough positive things about it - very charming in every way. Secluded, ocean a few minutes walk away. Home is very well equipped with everything you'll need. And the AGA stove is such a welcome source of warmth after a cool walk along the Southwest Coastal path. Hard to leave this perfect setting each day to explore Cornwall.. we will be returning.

Located on a quirky little dead-end street, also the oldest street in Newquay

Perfect!

The cottage is exactly what I dreamt of! Adorable and so tidy. Excellent location too, everything is just a short walk. Newquay is about the friendliest place, too. Loved every minute and would love to go back! Karen is an excellent hostess 😊

Fabulous house in a fabulous location

Beach Cottage has everything you can possibly want in a holiday home including a brilliant beach shop and cafe next door. We were a party of 7-9 adults and three dogs and everyone had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place.

Simply perfect !

We wish we could stay longer... Wendy and John are very kind and welcoming. Always available to help. We especially appreciated the typical British breakfast waiting for us upon our arrival. The cottage is freshly renovated and fully equipped. Everything is comfortable and the atmosphere is warm. We especially enjoyed the veranda and the gardens with the stunning view We simply felt at home. Thank you for making our holidays great despite a little rain ;) Julia & Robin

The Burrow Cottage in Cornwall

We stayed for a week and it was our second time here. We love the cottage, the hosts and the location. Cornwall is a magical place with lovely people and scenery.
