Kittiwake Constantine Reviews

David
Beautiful, family house well stocked and in walking distance to local shop, Golf Club which serves great food and of course Constaintine beach.
Adrian
Very practical spacious house, nice to have 3 bathrooms. Large kitchen. Excellent and quiet location. Plenty of space for lounging with lounge plus sunroom, sun room furniture, although more basic, was more comfortable than the soft lounge sofas. Great for dogs, with simple fully enclosed rear garden and easy walking access to dog friendly beaches, saves the nightmare of parking apps in the Padstow area generally! The curry house at St Merryn is truly excellent, the pub is sort of OK but beware you have to register your parked car's reg details at the bar (sometimes)
Christine
It was a fabulous house for 7 of us family, all blended into separate areas of the house and garden so no-one felt they couldn't do their own thing. Wonderful to be so near to the great shop and beach 10/10 for cleanliness
Anthea
Perfect cottage for a family of four and two grandparents . The garden feels very safe for young children who were very happy there . Being able to walk to the shop and beach easily is a real bonus .
Andrew
2nd time we've stayed here, the property is clean, spacious and great for dogs with a large secure garden. Location is perfect to walk to the beaches and coast path, didn't need to use the car for days! Would recommend to others.
Caroline
Lovely holiday home from home. Well equipped and spacious, everything you could possible need. Lovely quiet location.
Susan
Once again an extremely and relaxing holiday. Thank you
Nigel
Nice property in a quiet cul-de-sac. Excellent location close to corner shop, golf club and walk to beach
Megan
A lovely house near a beautiful beach.
Darren
Kittiwake is a lovely house for a family stay. We had a super week and found the house well equipped and spacious. A large utility room was perfect for wet dogs and we enjoyed the south facing garden and barbecue. It is a little tired in places but we thought it good value for money. Convenient for eating out in St Merryn and 15 minute walk to the beach.
John
The cottage is located on a pleasant estate close to the community stores which is well stocked. There is a pleasant garden which is totally enclosed for those bringing a dog. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with outside seating for meals from the barbeque. There is a pleasant comfortable lounge and woodburner.
J A
Property was equipped well, situated for the coastal path and golf and beaches. Large enclosed garden for children and dogs.
