Quillets Reviews

Paula
The location was excellent for our family Property is spacious and well equipped Its a real shame the cleaning let it down I would recommend if the the cleaning was addressed
Paul
A well equipped property in a super location
Chris
Reasonably well presented property. Generally clean and tidy. In need of some updating with regards the kitchen area and patio/bbq area if youâ??re looking for real luxury, but functional and we had a pleasant stay.
Susan
Lovely location and house for an extended family break.
Kim
Good family holiday house including dogs. Well fitted out and walkable to the beach.
Susannah
This house is in a fantastic location and has a lovely spacious garden. A couple of the bedrooms are very small and wouldnâ??t be suitable for larger children or adults. The master and two doubles are a good size. The big utility is a bonus.
Elisabeth
Great cottage will book again
Jane
We were a party of 12 so had booked the garden room as well and there was plenty of room for all of us to eat and socialise together. There is a smaller table in the dining area which bolts on to the larger one with extra chairs in the room. The kitchen is extremely well stocked so we never ran out of mugs or plates or glasses. There is, however, only one main oven so Christmas turkeys were cooked in the morning. The garden is very secure for children and dogs and the beautiful beach is easily accessed. The property is on a stunning estate next to the famous golf club and within easy reach of Padstow. We had a fabulous 4 days over Christmas and would definitely recommend Quillets.
