I loved my stay at Carol's cottage so much. Carol was so quick to respond to my booking and any questions during my stay which I really appreciated. The cottage itself is perfect - so cosy, amazingly furnished with everything you need, a 5 min walk to the sea, and within 10-15 mins of multiple other beautiful beaches. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Fantastic stay

We had such a lovely holiday - the cottage is beautiful, finished to an excellent standard. It is positioned only a 5 minute walk to the beach and you can walk to St Mawgans almost without touching a road.

Just what was needed

A truly lovely stay in a very well equipped property. The owners have really thought about everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. We had 4 wonderfully relaxed days in this great location with easy access to various beaches and locations. A great find and we will definitely return.

Wonderful long weekend in a beautiful cottage

Really lovely cottage which combined comfort and style. One large downstairs room and three bedrooms upstairs. Some beautiful features especially the wooden spiral stairs and underfloor heating. Downstairs bathroom only (but a very nice bathroom). The nearest beach at Mawgan Porth is lovely and there are also many other great beaches only a few miles in either direction along the coast. Very easy access to the coast path in only a few minutes.
