  We had fantastic 14 days in this cottage. Superbly equipped. Loved the spare fridge/freezer which was useful. Plenty of soft white towels. Loads of useful space under the stairs for shoes, bags, and empty luggage to store. We had some wonderful trips which varied between 209 and 50 mins away. Highly recommend the grocery store in Mawgan for fresh milk, fruit, veg, meat and bakery. We can also recommend Penn`s Pies which are made by Penny from down the road in Manaccan, and sold in Mawgan store. Kynance Cove is an absolute must! Beautiful clear water, spacious and great cafe overlooking the sea. Great day out in Falmouth where you can enjoy independent boutique shops, lovely cafe places, beach and superb National Maritime Museum. Another highlight was visiting Lizard Point. Fantastic place to eat is Polpeor Cafe. We had the most delicious lunch, home made mackerel pate, freshest lobster, salad. Just 2 mins up the hill was a lovely cafe overlooking the sea. Places to avoid are The Holy Mackerel Cafe, Helford-super rude, and Helford Village Store-old, out of date produce

  Our family had a very lovely week in Manaccan in this cosy and warm cottage, where we immediately felt welcome – like a second home. We are very grateful to our hosts for this very beautiful place! We enjoyed a lot discovering the Lizard and Penwith peninsulas and their rich natural and historic heritage – full of treasures, even away from the touristic spots. In particular, we enjoyed walking on the coastal path from Church Cove to Kynance Cove or from Lands End to Sennen Cove; finding the stones circles of Merry Maidens and Boscawen-Un and the ancient sites of Boleig Pipers, Lanyon Quoit and Men-an-Tol, visiting Glendurgan Garden and Geevor tin mine (which we particularly recommend!) and watching the Regatta in Helford – where the strong local community bonds were very visible. We wish the next visitors the same happy experience here as we have had!

  Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. My boyfriend and I came from Falmouth, Massachusetts for a relaxing summer getaway and Valpre was everything we hoped it would be. The house is tastefully decorated, cozy, and had everything we wanted. My mom and sister joined us for part of our time there and we had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed outdoor meals on the patio, gorgeous countryside walks along footpaths without needing to get in the car, tennis courts at the park in Manaccan, and drinks at the New Inn just down the road. A bit longer walk takes you to Helford where there's a yacht club, a cute shop for gifts and groceries, and a nice restaurant/pub right on the water (Shipwright Arms). I would highly recommend Valpre for anyone looking to enjoy this beautiful part of Cornwall. We'll definitely come back!

  Beautiful week's holiday for our family of 5. Loved the open plan kitchen. Beds very comfortable. Our daughters found the loft room lovely and airy. Manaccan village is very quiet, one pub, no stores and narrow roads a little too busy to be able to safely walk about, especially on dog walks. Helford is so lovely and just a 5 min drive across the way, so we tended to spend our morning walks there and for evening drinks. Cottage in a good accessible location for all villages. We love Cadgwith and Coverack. Been holidaying in Cornwall for 20 years since our first daughter born, so have lots of photos of our 3 girls at various ages around this gorgeous part of the country.

  What a fabulous place, the cottage was excellent had everything you needed.

  Warm, comfortable lounge with log burner, large kitchen fully equipped. We had the en-suite bedroom, the bed was so comfortable and had a lovely hot shower. Our daughter, son-In-law and Grandaughter’s also enjoyed their stay. It is situated in a lovely peaceful, spot overlooking the countryside. We enjoyed watching the birds on the feeder and watching the black grouse flying around the cottage. One sat on the top of our car the grandkids loved it!! We also had the pleasure of sitting outside with a cup of tea on New Years Day. Took some great photos of the sunset too. We would throughly recommend cottage. Thanks again Linda and Neil Corfield and The Hobbs Family.
