  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!

  We had a lovely stay in Sandseekers Barn which is in a brilliant location very close to the coastal path to Bedruthan Steps and a pleasant (albeit steep) walk to the beach at Mawgan Porth. The area is stunning, we didn't want to leave and neither did the dog who enjoyed daily walks on the beach and coastal path. There's a great shop in Mawgan Porth, a couple of cafes and pub/ hotel which more than suited our needs. We didn't venture far the whole week which was just what we wanted although Newquay, Padstow and Wadebridge are not far at all. The barn is set over 3 floors and was really warm, comfortable and well equipped. Everything is modern and tastefully decorated; the beds and bedding were incredibly comfortable and showers fantastic and powerful. Having two seating areas is a real bonus for a multigenerational stay and good wi-fi was much appreciated! The garden was useful for the dog only and could do with a bit of brightening up if it were to be an area to sit outside in. A few personal touches like cushions, welcome pack and local information were missing but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much, we loved Sandseekers Barn.

  Great location as close to the beach (approx 15 min walk).

  Very comfortable beds and the furniture included sun loungers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. We had a heatwave during our stay so the lined curtains kept the heat out when needed. The kitchen wanted for nothing and the welcome pack was a nice touch. I loved the fact that this property does recycling and all the bags were provided for this This was a great place to relax and the wildlife, in the huge garden, were a joy to photograph. We walked to the Bedruthan Steps along the coastal path which is close to the Lodge, just across the road and down a private road. My only constructive criticism is that the Information pack in the house is out of date. Lots of construction and re naming of properties in Mawgan Porth mean that the walk instructions are confusing. We know Mawgan Porth well so knew where to go. Just an update on the walking instructions is all that is needed. It would be helpful too if the Smart TV could be set up for the free BBC i player, ITVX etc. We were surprised to see a static mobile home in the front garden which luckily was not being used! But was worried for a minute!! We loved Seaport Lodge.

  Sykes were impossible to get hold of after many failed attempts I gave up.

  The beds were not very comfortable and the slats under one of the single beds kept falling out. The toilet seat was lose in the bathroom and the shower curtain out dated and not very effective so let water all over the floor. There were not enough towels so we had to wash them often. The boiler stopped working on the last night so no hot water and it was not clear who to call. The rubbish collection notice in the kitchen said Friday and we later discovered the house folder said Tuesday so that wasn't clear at all. The rug in the ensuite room had really unpleasant odour and the curtains were very sheer so let all the light in. The house is in a lovely position however and the garden is superb. The living room if very comfortable with lovely views out to sea and kitchen is quite new I think and very well equipped. There is a great dining area too and on this basis I would recommend the house but hope the owners take the feedback in the spirit in which is meant which is constructive, because it could be so much better with a few small improvements.

  Generally we had a lovely time.

  This is a lovely property with a stunning garden and in a fabulous location, with great views. It is well appointed and we found it very helpful to have an additional fridge freezer in the utility area. There was also a very helpful folder of information in the property. We were so lucky with the weather that we didn't need to use the fire (but it looked lovely) and didn't even switch on the lovely big TV. If weather is less good there are a nice selection of games and books in the property too. The problem for our party was that despite the property being listed as all ground floor, what isn't mentioned is that for every doorway into the bungalow there are steps (some quite steep). I have mobility difficulties so it meant I needed help in and out of the bungalow every time, which wasn't great, and the 10 minute walk to the beach is down a steep and uneven path, ending with steps I couldn't manage. This is in no way a criticism of the property, but the listing should really make these things clear.
