Myself, husband and our two teenage children stayed here as a late booking for the Royal Wedding weekend in Girlies Cottage. Booking was very quick and easy and we were met by the owner on arrival and made to feel very welcome. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and cosy, and had everything we needed and there was ample parking outside.
The shared garden was spacious and the setting peaceful. Nearby Portreath is only 5 minutes in the car and has a good beach, as does Porthtowan further along the coast. It is possible to walk to Portreath but it is about 20 minutes along a busy road so not suited to younger children.
We paid a visit to the nearby pub, only a walk down the hill from the farm and found it pleasant enough.
The only thing I would put on my "wishlist" is a shower, but for a weekend the smallish bath was adequate and there was lots of hot water!
We would return here, especially for a short stay. read more
