Guest Reviews

Sarah
We had a lovely short break at Cowries made dramatic by Storm Amy! The house is very well equipped and the layout worked well enabling us to work from one of the living spaces and the second living space could be enjoyed by the rest of the family. The spacious kitchen at the heart of the house was ideal. Being dog friendly and having a functional utility space was great too. Location-wise, Constantine was a perfect base to visit Harlyn, Padstow, Trevose & Treyarnon.
Nigel
Excellent location and details all as described on the website.
Edna

Victoria
We stayed here as a large family for New Year. The house was exceptional. Felt really comfortable and the equipment and facilities were amazing. We found everything we needed to cook large family meals.
Elizabeth
Wonderful house in a fantastic location. A group of three generations from 82 to 12 had a lovely Christmas there. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and we loved the ability to separate into the two lounges during the day. Local facilities were great, beach, shop and golf club with bar, all within easy walking distance. Thouroughly enjoyed our stay and very highly recommend this property.
