Elizabeth

We enjoyed our stay at 4-Bedroom House for 8 in Mawgan Porth. The house has plenty of space and was well equipped, and in a good position within walking distance of Mawgan Porth beach and the local amenities. We felt that the front veranda needed a safety strip along the edge of the step, as it was difficult to see the change in levels, particularly in the evening when we wanted to sit and enjoy the sunset. If taking a dog, be aware that the back garden is not completely enclosed. As the property came up in the â??dog friendlyâ?? search, we assumed that it would be.

Jane

Perfect location but tricky walk to the beach as no path and busy road. Accommodation lovely. As above, no barbecue available or access to the hot tub was disappointing as weather was perfect. Coffee cups donâ??t fit under the coffee machine!

Maree

Fantastic location. Great house equipped to a high standard. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Linda

A lovely house in a great location.

Alan

The cottage requires a clean and refresh inside and out. The rear garden is not 'user friendly', The wood fired hot tub should be condemned.

Chloe

We love this house and have stayed here several times. The location is wonderful, just a short walk to the beach and amenities. House has everything you could need for an enjoyable family stay. Whist in need of a few repairs such as dog proofing the garden, the house remains a firm favourite.

Stuart

Great location just up the hill from Mawgan porth beach. Easy walking access via either the road or coastal path - although those with limited mobility would struggle the plus side is the beach front car park is only £5 a day. Of an evening and the front veranda caught the evening sun. Quiet of an evening and beds all very comfortable - black out blinds ensured a good night sleep. Kitchen well equipped, with modern appliances. Only small downside was that, it was only a small freezer box in the fridge not a proper freezer. As a family of 8 who had brought some of our meals pre made frozen plus ordering some tubs of ice cream from our supermarket delivery we found ourselves quickly out of space! Other than that canâ??t really fault it.

Anne-Marie

Lovely house in a good location. The beach & shops/pub are just a 10 minute walk away, although it's quite a steep walk back up to the house. The elevated position means you have a great view down to the sea. The open plan kitchen/lounge and conservatory are spacious and a great social area for the whole family to spread out. The three double bedrooms are a nice size, the fourth with two singles was a bit too tight for our two grown up 'kids', but would be ideal for younger children. Overall, a really nice house in a lovely village with a fabulous, dog-friendly beach.
