Location and Surrounding Area

Minutes from Summercourt, guests can reach the 16th century thatched inn The Red Lion, for an evening tipple, the well-loved Awna Cafe for delicious coffee and cakes and the well stocked village shop.

This cottage is perfectly positioned for coastal walks, with Grebe Beach a 20-minute stroll from the front door. Swim within the crystal-clear waters immortalised by Daphne du Maurier or walk the coast and make your discoveries on foot. Budding stand up paddleboarders, kayakers, and those looking for little coves and beaches away from the masses will be in their element here. For those seeking to explore the magical and well-talked about subtropical gardens of south Cornwall, Glendurgan and Trebah Garden are within easy reach. The waterside Ferry Boat Inn at Helford Passage is your closest and best venue for local seafood and other delicious eats. Get there a little before mealtimes to bag a seat outside.

At Summercourt you are within a 10-minute drive to the colourful and bustling town of Falmouth. Here you have access to many excellent restaurants, independent shops, art galleries and famous harbour. If you fancy a boat trip then you can catch day passenger boats to various locations, including St Mawes, Truro and up the River Fal from the Prince of Wales Pier.

Further afield, an hour or so’s drive takes you all over – to St Ives for a spot of culture, to the rugged beaches of the Lizard and the famous North Coast for the type of surfing adventures to write home about.

Plumbing system is quite erratic leaving home cold when warmth required and hot when it should have turned off already

We will look into the plumbing system, we are very grateful for your thoughts. Please do always call us during any future stays and we will do our best to rectify these straight away.

A great mish mash of cutlery, no condiments and few egg cups. No pegs. Cooking cutlery, knives etc excellent. A review of kitchen utensils is needed. Pans are excellent best we have had anywhere. Short of serving dishes. Only huge casserole dish and plastic boxes. It seems as if the cottage has got what the main house no longer wanted. A couple of vases would be.nice. Better instructions on dealing with waste. No blue box but a blue bag. Howe do weensure we don’t lose it on Tuesday?

Response

Many thanks for your feedback, Sheila. We will make sure an inventory of the kitchen is completed and review the waste instructions. Sending kind regards from all of us at Cornish Holiday Cottages.

The Coach House is spacious and well equipped with quality furniture and furnishings. However the bathrooms and kitchen could do with a makeover as they are looking tired.

The Coach was a super holiday home, perfect location, we would love to go back again. Clean& comfortable accommodation, well equipped, only thing it needed was an outside drying line ,with toddlers and a baby and drying wet beach towels the drying rack provided was slightly inadequate. Everything else spot on.

Althoigh the house was beautiful, it was looking a bit tired..broken tiles, toilet seat & some door handles were broken, however these did not spoil the holiday whatsoever...

Love the location, house and gardens. Great space for a family holiday with grandkids. We've been three times and have three more weeks booked! It's like a home from home in these unusual circumstances of Covid.
