Two charming coastal path cottages - a stroll from surf school, shop and gastropub. Take both cottages for a big family get-together

Read guest comments

The beach is a 7-minute stroll, the cliff path crosses National Trust coastline, the quiet village has a surf school, shop and fish ‘n’ chips: all the ingredients for a terrific seaside holiday. The cottages are part of a horseshoe of converted farm buildings with communal gardens all tucked into a hillside with views over the Vale of Lanherne and out to sea.

Underfloor heating will keep you warm and there are roaring fires in the open-plan living rooms. Soak in a roll top bath; blast away sand under a huge shower head. Cook in sunny kitchens that catch the morning sun and, if you take both cottages, there's plenty of room for 10 at the table.

Outside: watch the sunset over the bay with an evening drink and gaze up at the ‘living roof’ of flowers. It’s a short drive to the Eden Project or St Ives, but mostly you can leave the car behind. The coastal path stretches to Newquay, Watergate Bay and Padstow (good bus service, too) and there’s a friendly outdoor cafe with ducks and geese down the valley on your way to the ancient village of St Mawgan - a 40-minute walk through woodland and fields.

"A lovely homely cottage. The owners have taken a lot of care and thought in renovating this let. We had a wonderful time. Kids age 5 and 7 loved the art hut and made lots of friends. They were able to play and wander around safely so it felt like stepping back in time where children can put down technology and just be. Cottages have a communal feel with the others on site and the atmosphere is very relaxed. We loved this cottage and would happily recommend it and would go back. The views from the master bedroom to the sea is beautiful. It's also a great location. "

"A wonderful, cosy cottage where we really felt at home immediately. Nice view over the valley down to the sea, and not far away from the beach and the village center with a small shop, coffee bars and a pub. Lot's of space outside, great for children to play. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Booking, payment, instructions and communication were easy all the time. It is a great place to stay, and we can only recommend it as an absolutely lovely family cottage for holidays in Cornwall. Thanks, Carol, for everything!"

"This cosy cottage is the perfect place for a family holiday. Our kids loved the short ramble down to the beach, along a scrubby country path dotted with butterflies and also remarkably tame wild rabbits. At the beach, our eight-year-old got stuck in with surfing - with the help of the fabulous local surf school - and was standing up on her board in her first lesson! We stayed in June, but the weather was changeable, so we happily made good use of the small open fire. We also had the best fish I've ever eaten from the local fishmonger who calls weekly at the cottage."

"This place is a piece of paradise. We've had such an amazing time. Carol has always been very helpful making sure she would accommodate our needs as we were traveling with babies. The cottages are something out of this world. Very cosy,, everything very clean and tidy, the decoration is of such a good taste!!! The kids had such a great time outside, playing with the zip wire, running about.. The view will take your breath away, beautiful sunset from here. Overall, the only downside is that we had to leave after 5 days going back to London. We'll be back one day, I can't wait! Thank you Carol"

"We stayed at 5 & 6 for a wonderful 10 day holiday with the family. The cottages are beautiful and comfy, everything you need for a relaxing break in idyllic surroundings, bathroom in no 5 is five star !! Highly recommended! "

"This was the perfect long weekend treat my partner and I were looking for. We arrived late on the Friday night, but this made it all the more exciting to wake up to glorious views from bed, looking out to sea, and across the cliffs. The area has some great walks- we were lucky with the weather- but also lots of lovely things to do on rainy days. The cottage was just fab for hanging out in and relaxing- we enjoyed cooking in the lovely kitchen, relaxing in the bath, and most of all being cosy when it was so cold out. Honestly, just heaven. I want to go and live there!"
