Quillets 13 Reviews

Gavin
A fabulous house in a fab location. Amenities and some equipment need updating but the house itself is wonderful. The garden is superb! Absolutely great to have such a big space. We stayed here 5 or so years in a row about 15 years ago and we still love it! Would def book again.
James
This was a great holiday house in a fantastic location. It accommodated 13 people adequately never feeling over crowded. Great facilities and well maintained. Garden was a sun trap and most meals were eaten outside (weather permitting ). Around 20 minute walk to fantastic beach with surfing, swimming and plenty of rock pools to explore. Around 30 minute drive into Newquay and 15 minutes away from Padstow. Would highly recommend.
Clare
Excellent location and fantastic garden but not fitted out for the advertised number of people, dining and living room didnâ??t fit the number of people the house is advertised for and therefore we did not manage to have a sit down meal as a group.
Jennifer
Lovely house, very comfortable and plenty of space
Alison
A perfect holiday home for a large group with comfort, cleanliness and space in a lovely house with easy access to the beach. Tennis courts, golf course and swimming pool nearby.
