Reviews

  • "The accommodation is in a great spot, just a few mins walk to Porthcothan beach. It is a peaceful place, which is well kitted out with what you’re likely to want for a short stay. The bed was comfortable. We also became best friends with Zennor the cat. Overall we enjoyed staying here and will be back"

  • "This was a beautiful space - everything was very clean when we arrived and, although small, very well stocked. The real highlight of our stay was how close the hut was to the beach! We loved the short walk and spent lots of time there. Meg and her family are kind and friendly too. Thank you for having us!"

  • "Such a perfect little hideaway but so close to the beach and coast path. We had some stormy weather but had a window of opportunity to enjoy some sunshine, walking and boogie boarding all on our doorstep. The kitchen is really well equipped and the bedroom very cosy. We loved the extras such as the Chimenea and wood burner"
