    “We love staying at Bro Tref and stayed last year.”

    The location is spot on and the village is lovely. However, this year, the house was not as clean as last year, we found butter in the microwave, and some dog poo on the gravel, ( but no worries as it was disguised and easily done, so we dealt with it). I also understand that allowing dogs is great as we brought two of our furry friends, but the resources to clean the house has gone backwards.

    The location is spot on and the village is lovely. However, this year, the house was not as clean as last year, we found butter in the microwave, and some dog poo on the gravel, ( but no worries as it was disguised and easily done, so we dealt with it). I also understand that allowing dogs is great as we brought two of our furry friends, but the resources to clean the house has gone backwards. The brush was dirty and old and although I tried to keep the floor tidy, the brush was not up to the job. Under the sink is a mess, there is so much clutter and gunge. Under the stairs is a mop bucket and mop which is smelly so adds to the aroma in the living room. The very old Dyson hoover does not work effectively, we tried to use it but the suction is limited and it has seen better days. I remember that last year there was a small henry hoover which did the job well. The upstairs shower is need of some maintenance as it doesn't drain very well. The main double room has a mouldy damp smell, but this is down to a small wooden cupboard and it is the wood which is contributing to this. Not sure how often the windows are cleaned but they were mucky and needed a clean. Outside rear has had an improvement which was good to see. I don't want to be over critical as we will definitely come again but the house needs some general maintenance and the cleaning contract needs to be relooked at especially the contract that is had to clean the place as it was not up to the same standard as last year.

    Hi thanks for your feedback I am sorry that the house was not up to standard, we severed our current cleaning contract at the weekend as yours was not the only negative feedback we have had. It is hard to manage quality issues from a remote location so customer feedback is essential. We will look at replacing the cleaning equipment when we are down next week and also address the mould issue. We have already had a plumber in to fix the shower drain as the current guests reported that to us as an issue. I very much hope that you will come again and give us another chance!!! It is nice to hear that you approve of the garden improvements!! Enjoy the rest of your summer! Property Owner

The property

This character, semi-detached cottage is part of the delightful village of St Mawgan, just a couple of miles away from both Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth.

There is a footpath from the village to the beach.

Wonderfully presented over three floors, Bro Tref Cottage is an idyllic escape for a family of eight and two dogs looking to stay close to the attractions of North Cornwall whilst being in quiet position.

Upon arrival you are greeted by an off-road parking space for one car directly outside the property, so you can easily unload your belongings.

Step into the lounge, complete with sofas positioned in front of the woodburning stove, creating a homely ambiance for unwinding.

Allow the designated chef to prepare something tasty in the kitchen, fitted with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a dishwasher, so you won’t have to worry about cleaning up!

As the night rolls in, head upstairs and freshen up with a soak in the bathroom, or step into the walk-in shower for a quick rinse, before getting yourself set in the bedrooms.

The light and spacious master bedroom lies on the second-floor with beautiful views, it boasts a king-size bed with en-suite shower, whilst there is a double, twin and bunk on the first-floor, each presented in neutral tones.

If you fancy a night off cooking, there is an excellent pub, The Falcon Inn, 200 yards away, serving a hearty menu and selection of ales.

Head to the hustle and bustle of Newquay, home to a stunning coastline with award-winning beaches, shops, bars, restaurants, and attractions such as the Zoo and Sea Life Centre, there really is something for everyone.

Just north of Newquay is the peaceful destination of Watergate Bay where you can find quieter beaches and a surfing school, offering sand yachting, paragliding and kite surfing.

Continue exploring and head to the town of Padstow, famed for its picturesque harbour, galleries, museums, and Sealife Safaris Boat Trips which provide a mix of exhilaration and sensitive wildlife watching around North Cornwall’s coastline.

However you choose to plan your holiday, escape to Bro Tref Cottage for a delightful retreat, whatever time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

The picturesque little village of St Mawgan lies just north of Newquay, nestled in the Lanherne Valley. The village is home to a thirteenth century church, which is dedicated to St Maganus and St Nicholas. Notably in the graveyard, there is a rowing boat stern - a memorial to sailors who froze to death in local waters in 1846. The River Menalhyl runs through St Mawgan, and the village also has two welcoming inns as well as a friendly village stores with Post Office and tea rooms. The beach at Mawgan Porth is just two miles outside of St Mawgan, and there is also a beautiful Japanese garden just outside the village where you can buy indoor Bonsai trees, succulents, Buddha statues and wind chimes. With Newquay Cornwall airport based just outside St Mawgan, the village enjoys a most convenient location.
