Loved . the house, fitted out with great taste and charm, and sympathetically restored. Everything you need is supplied. The gardens are lovely with a mix of cultivated and wild plants, places to sit in sun or shade. Very very peaceful yet only minutes from the beach. We all had a wonderful holiday and would very happily stay again.

This was our second visit and not the last one! It's a peaceful location, a very cosy and comfortable property that feels a moon away from the noise and bustle of modern world. Eccellent and very helpful housekeeper, too. Highly recommended for both young families or a romantic gateway.

Lovely Cottage in a quiet and cosy setting. I was everything we were looking for. Carefully decorated and nicely furnished. The kitchen was superb for cooking and dining. Outdoor seating is generous and there are a few options. St Mawgan is a cute original Cornish village. A pub, small shop and a playground are very close. The airport is just up Read morethe street but there is very, very little noise from the aircrafts - not noticeable at all. Guests with small children should know, that the garden in the back has unfenced drop of app 7ft, which requires attention if you want to let your small kid(s) roam around by themselves. Proper shopping requires a trip to Newquay, having a car is advisable, but easy as private parking is at the bottom of the property. Hide

St Teresa's is a beautiful cottage in the heart a beautiful village, St Mawgan. It has a wonderful terraced back garden which allows secluded sunny corners where the only noise is the songs of birds interrupted now and then by the chiming of the church bells. Very romantic and incredibly relaxing. We loved all the rooms and especially the large tRead morehe kitchen. It was too warm to light the log fires in the sitting room and kitchen, but what a nice ambiance they would make in winter! Walking to St Mawgan Porth beach was very easy. even with a 6 years old. The local pub offered great dinners and the scones from the cafe and garden tea rooms were delicious. The local people are extremely kind and friendly, which made our stay even more special. My husband and I will be back, without the young ones, to enjoy the cottage all for ourselves. Thank you for letting us staying in your very special home. Hide

This was a lovely peaceful and quiet place to stay. All amenities were first class for four adults. Owners responded to queries promptly. Would highly recommend. If it is a lovely setting you are after this is the place.

We stayed at St. Teresa's Cottage during autumn break and had an absolutely great time. Cornwall is great, but the cottage elevated it to another level. So much so that we stayed in a bit more than we initially planned! Very highly recommended!
