What our customers say about their holidays

  Very hard to locate property which was only directed by a lady at the top of Rectorick Mill entrance who stopped us from entering a Festival that was on there for the weekend! ( Q loud music all weekend) When we finally found our accommodation (through a building site and a long dirt track ) it was clear that the three properties had ONLY been finished in the past couple of days.. The cottage itself was very clean, tidy and newly built ( we were the first guests to stay) Decor was very pleasant inside and nicely done. Kitchen fully equipped apart from there is NO washing machine or tumble dryer as stated on the website. Obviously a massive error on the Original Cottages part as we made contact with Trevor ( the owner) who told us that he had told them that the washing facilities were not ready and they were infact shared with the other two properties.) he did his very best and managed to install 2 washing machines and a tumble dryer on the Thursday in a wooden summer house a short distance from the properties. There was also a pool table and some gym equipment which was dangerous for children to be in there on their own. The house is not walkable to the beach you drive and pay £5 all day in the two car parks in Mawgan Porth which isn’t bad if you plan to stay all day. Sadly the weather wasn’t on our side so we had a few day trips out. I emailed and tried to phone the company but no one got back to me until the Monday and offered no help apart from contact the owner! Which we did.. I updated them on the washing facilities and had absolutely no reply back. Shame on you Original cottages!

  What a find!

  Seagull's Perch is an excellent base for a break in the area; the contemporary design and furnishings are of an extremely high standard, creating a stylish and comfortable home from home. In addition, my husband worked from here on several days and found the WiFi signal very strong. The ever changing view from the huge living room and bedroom windows was stunning, just watching the tide going in and out each day, and the magnificent sunsets on the horizon, provided hours of entertainment! Walking down the paths for a brisk walk along the beach, and back again, justified the delicious evening meals in a range of local restaurants. The spacious kitchen at Seagull's Perch was also well equipped, and made cooking an easy option when we stayed in. Brian and Jacquie, the owners, were very friendly and helpful - resolving a few minor issues rapidly and with good humour; it was lovely to meet them and hear their stories. We are planning another visit to Seagull's Perch soon - thank you for creating such a special place to stay!

  Seagull's Perch is a beautiful holiday house in a perfect position.

  As we had a 4-year old with us and due to the pandemic we ate in every night and found a slight lack of dishes for cooking in the oven and microwave, but we had taken a few extra things with us. Also, I know it's a small thing, but would have appreciated sharper knives, or a knife sharpener available to us. Such a shame that holiday companies are putting their prices up so much for the 2022 season that has meant we were unable to re-book for June next year, which we would have loved to have done. The owners of this property, who live next door, are charming and take a personal interest in their guests and genuinely want to know that all is well and checked we enjoyed our holiday, which we did immensely. Thanks in particular for the loan of a chair for my husband (again!) as he has a bad back and found sitting in the comfy sofa and chairs a little difficult. We wish we were still there!

  We will return next year! Sunspray is in a perfect setting, just steps down to a superb beach, Mawgan Porth. The accommodation is light, airy, spacious and almost luxurious. We were 7 and felt very comfortable. We stayed for the 3rd week in September, the beginning of Autumn and were warm in the house. We had lovely weather and in fact we had the patio doors open! In the basement beach equipment is provided. The kitchen equipment was tip top with basics like dishwasher tablets, washing powder, tea bags, toilet roll provided. There were plenty of mugs, plates, glasses, pans and cutlery. (We only wished for an electric hand whisk!) We ate in every evening and used the barbecue. The outside seating area is good with a balcony right around the property which means you can sunbathe all day long. There is plenty of space for parking. In fact we had 5 cars, including a van.

  This is a wonderful house in a fabulous location. The view is spectacular , the house is located in a quiet and secluded area, perfect for us . Very comfortable and well equipped , we were a party of 6 related adults with a very enthusiastic dog, she loved the beach which is easily walkable and knew where it was after first visit . Only downside for us is that the fabulous garden is easily escaped by a beach loving dog which we managed by close supervision and fortunately she has good recall ,this needs to be considered when booking . Otherwise we had great fun with her playing ball in the lovely garden , this would not put me off booking again as we loved this spacious house and were blessed by amazing weather
