Beautiful Cottage

Had a lovely week at Porth Cottage 6! A beautiful place with lots of character and original features! We didn't want to leave and already want to book again! Communication with Carol was great and Mawgan Porth is a lovely part of Cornwall! A great dog friendly beach too! It's a steep hill down from the cottage but worth the compromise for such an amazing place to stay with sea views! We didn't see one sunset unfortunately, thanks to the British weather, so fingers crossed for next year! Sarah, Dave & pooch

Beautiful and full of character

Perfectly located for the very best choice of Cornwall’s places to visit. The cottages are just full of character and so cosy . There is everything you need to tell at home from home and the local beach and places to eat are fabulous. All communication was clear and concise with the owner. I highly recommend staying here.

Wood burner!

Great stay in the lovely cosy cottage in a great location which we love (have been going to Mawgan Porth since a young child many years ago!)... Unlimited logs so we could enjoy the fire after the day out without the hassle of buying wood! Owner lovely and we got Prosecco, biscuits and a Christmas Tree so all good! Thank you.

A great place to stay.

We had a lovely weekend in Granite Cottage (no 2). It was very clean and Carol very helpful with her communication and information she sent. The cottage is small, but very well appointed and a lovely place to be in. I can recommend both the cottage and the location, being within walking distance of the beach. It is a steep walk back up, so maybe not for the infirm. Thanks for a lovely stay and a wonderful weekend.

Lovely cottage close to the beach

This is a quaint cottage with ample space and bags of character. We really loved the quirkiness of the property, high ceilings and the bath and shower. The location is also excellent as there are several similar old properties situated around some gated common land in the middle. Dogs are able to roam freely and this is great to communicate with neighbours. This helped when I needed to borrow some garlic one evening. At the top end of the site there is a large sown grassed area with a table tennis hut and space to hang out wetsuits. Well worth the money.

Even better than the photos

No.5 Porth Farm Cottages is beautifully restored and finished, with bespoke wood floors, cabinets and staircase; it is even better than the photographs suggest. The cottage is high quality and has everything you could need or want. It is a really nice space to spend time in. The cottage's location in Trenance has positives and negatives. While the most direct route to the beach is on the main road and sea views are limited, it sits apart from the 'development spread' that now characterises this bay, has plenty of green outside space and is at the start of the lovely walk (through forest, fields and woodland) to St Mawgan. Our only issue with the stay was with the 0900 check out. This is one of the COVID-19 measures, so understandable. But even the normal 1000 check out is a touch ungenerous. But that is a minor detail. We loved this place and recommend it.

Gorgeous cottage

We stayed in number 6 for the week - what a beautiful little cottage with so much thought given to every detail. All be it small it was definitely perfectly formed with the added bonus of a gorgeous bathroom with lovely freestanding bath. The location is great both in terms of views and also being just a short walk to the beach the cliff path. Overall the cottage was very well equipped for what we needed and I highly recommend a stay. Carol was also really easy to deal with and responded to any questions we had promptly. We will be back! Thank you Carol

Fantastic Cottage

A beautiful cottage with everything you could need. Cosy and warm even in stormy March weather. Comfortable beds and everything clean. Short walk to the beach, shops, pub and restaurant. Great base for getting around. Brill outside safe place for kids (age 9 & 6). Had a few days with really bad weather and didn’t go out but the cottage was so lovely it was a real great excuse to cosy up by the fire, read a book and drink tea! The bath & shower are great for after a cold morning surfing. I would and will be recommending this cottage to friends and family. Will go back again.

Idyllic cottage in perfect locayion

This pretty little cottage has everything you need and is in the most perfect location to explore. Quaint and quite basic but charming and with a hint of luxury with a fabulous roll top bath. It has clearly been renovated with love and care. Spotlessly clean and had everything we wanted (2 adults, toddler and 2 dogs). It could have done with a microwave though particularly if you have a baby. The horseshoe of cottages are all friendly and sociable. Carol was a pleasure to deal with. Only downside was not being able to take the dogs off the lead but they had plenty of room to run their energy off at the beach! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a cosy, homely, Cornish base.
