Guests say
This holiday cottage in Newquay is highly praised for its stunning views, excellent location near beaches, and spacious, well-equipped interiors.

Overall, the property offers a relaxing base for exploring the area, with most guests keen to return.
Cleanliness is mixed; while some guests found the property clean and tidy, others reported issues such as dust, dirty windows, cobwebs, and areas needing a deep clean. Bathrooms and bedding were generally clean, but attention to detail could be improved.
The location is consistently praised, with guests loving the proximity to Porth Beach, Newquay, and local amenities. The quiet setting and beautiful views are standout features.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, with positive comments on beds, showers, and living space. However, some mentioned tired furnishings, pillows needing replacement, and duvets being too warm or not warm enough.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen essentials and amenities, but some guests noted a lack of basic supplies (soap, washing up liquid), tired furniture, and minor maintenance issues such as slow drains and garden upkeep.
Some guests received small welcome items like milk, tea, and coffee, but these are not guaranteed. Several reviewers felt that a little more generosity or attention to guest needs would enhance the experience.

The most amazing view from a great holiday home. The property had all the amenities you could need including a secure garden for dogs. Sofa and bed felt like they could do with replacing, some tlc on the property at the end of the season would be beneficial but we would definitely stay again and recommend to our family and friends. Thank you for a great holiday!

Great base. Location perfect between 2 beaches. House lovely clean, everything you need. I would say the balcony is very small. The only way to back garden is through main bedroom. The duvet are great quality but way too hot for summer.
