October 2024

“A lovely property, loved the cinema room and the arrival hamper was a really nice touch.”

Beds were really comfortable and ample bathrooms for ease and comfort. Very well equipped. Only downside was the time we had to invest in heating hot tub, it took 7 hours and lots of manning, we couldn’t go out because we needed to check the fire. Bit disappointing as our kids expected to be in it every day and we only went in once.

Dear Ellie, It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we are so pleased you enjoyed the house and your time with us. I am so sorry to hear you struggled with the hot tub. We have fired up the tub in all weathers and while the length of time is weather dependent the average range is 2-3 hours in mild weather and approximately 3 and a half in cold. For it to have taken you 7 hours is unheard of and I suspect something has gone awry with your technique. The most obvious explanation would be that the lid was not on when you were firing it so that the heat was escaping into the air. The three top tips to ensuring the speediest firing are 1) The lid must be on while firing, 2) Feed the fire - sounds obvious I know but dont let it settle down to embers, feed the flames. 3) Stir the water in the tub at regular intervals to distribute the heated water - the lid is hinged so that you can open half of it, a paddle is provided for stirring - then close the lid. Another important thing to do so that you can enjoy it all week is when you have finished using it put the lid back on and sufficient heat will be retained so that the next day only a short firing will be required to bring it back up to full temperature. I am so sorry that you struggled but if you would like to rebook with us as long as your start date is a Friday (when James is there) if you contact Claire in advance we will be happy to fire it up for you so that it is toasty warm when you arrive! The majority of our customers enjoy the whole experience of firing the hot tub themselves, but we are happy to do this in advance whenever it is possible. Property Owner
Nicola Denise September 2024

“The holiday started by talking to Claire (the housekeeper) 3 days before the holiday start date, she was lovely, really helpful with suggestions of places to visit.”

The cottage was fabulous, comfortable, homely, well equipped. Spending each days on the different levels of garden makes it feel as though you have visited different places (steep steps but the up and down is the same as the Cornish coastline), the verandah gives another area and allows you to meet walkers on the coastal path and the friendly neighbours. The cinema room was just the icing on the cake and we had date night as even popcorn was supplied. Claire supplied a yummy hamper all supplied by a local farm shop and was always at the end of the phone for any queries (fabulously helpful). Coastal walks from the door, but we aware that dogs are not allowed on the beach in Pentewen between March and November. Coastal walk to Mevigessey 2 miles and catch the bus back is really easy, bus from the village to Heligan Gardens or hire a bike from the village - and finally The Ship pub in the village was really friendly, good food and served Proper Job ale so hubby Really good holiday, memories made - fabulous cottage, but special thanks to Claire, having a house keeper who knows the area, is helpful and willing to share knowledge adds the sparkle.

- Nicola Denise, September 2024

Dear Nicola Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and took time to explore our gorgeous corner of Cornwall. I couldn't agree more about Claire she is a total star and really goes the extra mile to assist guests in anyway she can!!! We all hope that we will be able to welcome you back again in the future!

Carol May 2024

“Thank you so much, this was a treasure of a find for us to visit Cornwall.”

A listed cottage full of history and gracefully restored. Every modern facility and equipment provided for. The location is fantastic worth every penny paid for the views alone. There were gorgeous treats in the hamper and other treats, a lovely welcome on arrival. Thank you Claire for promptly and courteously helping with the few glitches we had. For the owner I would just say that it would be helpful to review the documented guest guidance instructions e.g there were no bath robes or towels for outside use at the hot tub as stated. Although very quickly resolved as there are indoor robes and towels provided which we were allowed to use. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

- Carol, May 2024

Thank you so so much for your response. Glad you came and appreciate your feedback. Hope you come back again xxx Property Owner
Jilly April 2024

“We loved staying in this unusual and comfortable house.”

Great decor annd furniture. Even in April the warm sun on the front terrace was just lovely for a sundowner. It’s a great base and easy to get around from the location. The beach in Pentewen is gorgeous , the Pentewen trail is flat and easy to walk for all abilities. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a short drive. Claire was very friendly and helpful.

- Jilly, April 2024

Thank you so much for your response it is a gorgeous house in a gorgeous location looked after b gorgeous people x Property Owner
Max March 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage and didn’t want to go home!”

The attention to detail really made a huge difference with the goodies in the fridge, Prosecco, popcorn and chocolates. Thank you so much. Clare was so helpful and responded straight away to every query we had. James also came over to get the hot tub going for us when we struggled because of the damp logs, and went above and beyond staying to make sure it was going properly before he left. The house itself was absolutely perfect for us and we couldn’t fault it. Thanks again - we had a wonderful stay!

- Max, March 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and yes I agree everyone looking after the house and tub will go above and beyond to help you have a great holiday. Seacliff team are !!!!!! Property Owner
Heidi March 2024

“Lovely cottage.”

Quirky, like many older properties, particularly in Cornwall, but well appointed, beautiful views and picturesque setting. Pentewan is a lovely village and benefits from a good pub, a local shop, proximity to the coastal path, excellent beaches, and amenities (supermarkets etc) at St. Austell. Nothing not to like about the cottage but if I had a choice I would love a more comfortable sofa in the living room. Be aware of the many steep steps to the upper terrace which means you get the great views, and access to the hot tub which is fab (and kept my husband usefully occupied for several hours - he loved it!) but it does take some attention and time to heat

- Heidi, March 2024

Hi really happy you had a good stay and hope to welcome you back!!! xxx Property Owner
Michael February 2024

“Absolutely perfect!”

The property was immaculate and included everything we needed for an incredibly relaxing and comfortable week. Claire was brilliant - very responsive and helpful when we had a few little queries. We won't hesitate to book again the next time we want to stay in a beautiful, well equipped property within minutes of a lovely beach im Cornwall.

- Michael, February 2024

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. We do all try really hard to give our guests a really special experience so your words mean a lot and thank you xx Property Owner

“A fantastic break, very relaxed.”

The cottage was stunning and in a perfect location for dog walks and a pint. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Stephen, February 2024

Hi thank you so much for your response. So glad you and your furry friend enjoyed your stay at the house Property Owner
Reb November 2023

“The best holiday rental in pentewan.”

The house is beautiful. Such care and attention to detail. Really clean, with lots of luxurious touches such as underfloor heating in the bathrooms, the beautifully designed cinema room, and the hot tub of course. The location is stunning, with views for miles, access to the coast path, local beach & a great pub! So good to have the dog with us too. Everyone we met were incredibly friendly and happy to suggest restaurants, explain local history etc. Special mention to Claire the housekeeper who was super accommodating (especially when we locked ourselves out) and helped with things to do locally, eateries etc. oh and the hamper is to die for! I can’t think of anything to fault it.. if you’re in pentewan, stay here you won’t be disappointed.

- Reb, November 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. It makes it all so worthwhile. Thank you also for acknowledging Claire who oils all the cogs and makes things smooth and the hamper which is from Lobbs our local farm shop!!! Please come back Property Owner
Deborah October 2023

“The hot tub needs attention as it is completely unusable.”

The water level was very low, it's dirty, full of bits, smells musty and looks like someone dropped bread in it many moons ago which suggests it hasn't been cleaned for a while so we decided not to risk our health. Disappointing because that was the final decider when I was researching for a suitable property. On departure the man who disposes of rubbish and cleans the hot tub appeared. He said he had cleaned it a week ago. If he did then somehow, between him cleaning and us arriving, it miraculously got in this disgusting state! Interestingly he told us that it had a serious leak and he has already told the owner that she needs to get it fixed or replaced. The dining and living room furniture are very uncomfortable if sat on/at for any length of time, the king-sized bed feels like it's on a slope, upon investigation the mattress doesn't fit in the recess at the end and therefore slopes at head level. The smaller bathroom window needs cleaning where it opens at the top where it is filthy and full of spiderwebs and dirt etc and a replacement blind is also needed. The photos are not of the property as it is today and either they need updating or the property contents needs a makeover. We did enjoy our time and had the best fish and chips ever which can be purchased as a take away from The Ship Inn, sadly we would not return because we felt miss sold by the pictures and the reality.

- Deborah, October 2023

Dear Deborah, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we always welcome constructive criticism as we strive to give our guests the best possible holiday experience. However, there are accusations in your review which I must, in the strongest possible terms, refute as false and totally inaccurate. The Hot Tub - Before the arrival of every new guest the hot tub is emptied, scrubbed and cleaned filled with fresh water and sanitised. This is done regardless of whether the previous guest has used it or not. Every guest who arrives at Sea Cliff is given a fresh clean sanitised hot tub...as were you. There is only one of two explanations of how the "bread" got into the hot tub given that it was not in there when the house was handed over to you. Either you did have a hot tub and forgot to put the lid back on and the "bread" blew in there ... or it was dropped in there during your stay. What is interesting though, is that we always provide our guests with logs for them to get the hot tub going we provided the same to you, at the end of your stay the logs we provided were gone they were used. As for the "serious leak" this is a misrepresentation of what James told you. The hot tub is a natural wooden eco hot tub and the wood needs to swell to seal in the water, how the wood responds is dependent on many factors, the weather, how often it is fired up etc. At the end of the year we have the hot tub "serviced" and if necessary tighten the bands so that water seepage is at the minimal, but some water loss is to be expected. What I don't understand is if there had been even a grain of truth in what you allege re the hot tub.... why would you not phone Claire (who looks after the house) or the holiday company to complain..? We are very responsive and would have sent someone out straight away to investigate. You did not do this neither us nor the holiday company heard anything from you during your stay. However, since leaving I have been made aware that you have been attempting to claim a refund....... enough said. I am sorry you found the dining room and living room furniture did not suit you. I have the same sofa at my home and chose this particular sofa specifically because I find it so comfortable. A perception of comfort is very subjective and am sorry it did not suit yours. The bed is a Super King size which has a super king size Emma mattress which fits the bed perfectly. Blind in small bathroom - we have had a back to back season and it is still ongoing. The blind is scheduled to be replaced in November. You state the the property photos do not reflect how the house is today. This is completely inaccurate. We have an annual schedule of maintenance which includes amongst other things; a revolving schedule of repainting; all necessary repairs and replacements' deep cleaning of the inside and all equipment; professional cleaning of upholstery; repairs, maintenace and power washing all outside areas. The house and grounds is regularly inspected by the holiday company. We are always striving to improve and take pride in the standards we set ourselves. Many of our guests are very happy returners who come with a set of expectations we strive to exceed. As I said in the beginning we welcome constructive criticism...... so on behalf of my very hard working team and myself we are glad you enjoyed your fish and chips! Property Owner
Peter September 2023

“This was a great property - we really enjoyed our stay.”

We’d certainly recommend this place to rent for your Cornwall holiday. The facilities were excellent - the best I think we’ve ever had from a holiday rental - and also the location, which was great.

Dear Peter. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your kind words and we hope you come back again. Property Owner
Marie September 2023

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

The cottage is beautiful and well equipped. Set in beautiful Pentewan. Welcome pack is lovely and full of Cornish goodies. Claire very responsive to our needs. Only downside is the difficulty to access if you drive up hill to cottage as you are unable to turn on to the terrace, you have to go much further up turn round and come back. Having said that we plan to return.

- Marie, September 2023
Janet September 2023

“The property is so beautiful and set in amazing views.”

On arrival the house was spotlessly clean. We have never stayed in such a well equipped house and the decor and furnishings were of a high standard. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Dear Janet Thank you so much for your review. We hope to welcome you back. We love our corner of Cornwall and we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Sea Cliff Property Owner

Faye July 2023

“Enjoyed our stay overall however we felt the property had a few maintenance issues and attention to detail missing that really should be there on a five star rating property and at a price that is being charged.”

The initial WOW factor was soon tarnished by varying issues that have been fed back to the owner. We were disappointed. Nice area to stay, and good position to visit Mevagissey, Port Isaac and Padstow. Lost gardens of Helligan are wonderful and well worth a visit. The Ship Inn is a nice pub and food and wine were good.

- Faye, July 2023

Dear Faye thank you for taking the time to leave us much valued feed back as we are always seeking to improve the experience for our guests. I am very glad that you enjoyed some of the delights are area of Cornwall is able to offer despite you having a backdrop of very unusual (for this time of year) bad weather. On the Wednesday you sent a text stating the handle had fallen off one of the frying pans, some dvd's were missing from their cases, the bean bags from a supplied bean bag game were missing, and the lights on the top hot tub garden had stopped working. Claire delivered to you a new frying pan before 8.00am the next morning. Knowing about the top lights going down was very helpful, as we were immediately able to book in the Electrican to deal with this. Given the backdrop of bad weather, and having to entertain children, I understand your frustration over missing dvd's and components in a game. When we checked on the friday changeover, 2 dvd's were missing from their cases. At the start and end of every season as part of our maintenance programme we do check all dvd's, supplied games, tv's, remote controls etc. We don't expect guest to take them home with them but have realised this can inadvertently happen. We will add checking dvd's, games, and remote controls to our changeover routine. Thank you for pointing this out to us and we hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Diane July 2023

“Disappointed with your description of the property for starters !”

1) Garden is horrendous and ⛔️ to access and therefore we didn’t use it ! 2) Access to the gravel lane is also quite scary - we had to actually hold up traffic to manoeuvre in and out of the gravel lane ! 3) Carpet gripper is penetrating the carpet because the landing carpet is so thin and we had to put a towel over the bathroom/ landing access so our feet weren’t being constantly scraped - I actually cut the back of my heel on another exposed gripper coming down stairs 4) House looks shabby and is in need of some TLC - mould in both bathrooms 5) Various people wandered through our back patio garden area and left the side gate open, we wanted a secure garden area because we had our dog with us and wasn’t aware of public access - quite embarrassing as I was in my nightdress one morning and a man appeared in our garden from around the corner ! Overnight the outside lights were constantly turning on and off and disturbed our sleep, I couldn’t see a way of turning them off ! Overall we were very disappointed :(

Christina June 2023

“The cottage is so inviting and well equipped.”

We felt at home straight away. This is our 2nd visit to this property, and we have already booked to come again next year! Claire is very gifted at hospitality, leaving treats for our stay and making us feel very welcome. She answers any queries very quickly and gave us good recommendations of places to eat. The hot tub was a real bonus, and we enjoyed relaxing in the lovely hot water at the top tier of the garden, overlooking the lovely countryside and sunset. We slept so well on the comfy super king size bed, and enjoyed eating breakfast on the front porch, greeting the walkers who passed by. Walking down to the beach was a daily must, which only took a few minutes down some steps at the end of the road. The property is in a very good location for visiting nearby pretty harbours of Mevagissey and Charlestown. Thank you again for providing us with such a lovely restful holiday!

- Christina, June 2023

Dear Christina thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to welcome you back to Sea Cliff. We are so pleased that you took full enjoyment of all that the house, hot tub, village and surrounding areas have to offer. We all love our little corner of Cornwall. One of the biggest changes that has happened over the last few years is the emergence of truly excellent restaurants in our part of the world. Charlestown has become something of a foodie destination, The Longstore is a special night out and The Rashleigh Arms is excellent. Our own village local The Ship Inn has a new excellent chef (highly recommend his slow cooked dishes!). Slightly off the beaten track is The Kings Arms in Mevagissey truly an "in the know gem" !! All of the dishes are prepared by owner/chef Chris and change daily according to what produce he has sourced locally. He also has a fantastic wine cellar and is very knowledgable. There are only about 6 tables so it is essential to book in advance. Also he occasionally hosts wine and food tasting evenings .. great fun! We do hope you will come and visit with us again in the future. Property Owner
Sharon May 2023

“The cottage and everything in it was absolutely fabulous!”

Fantastic fixtures and fittings and beautifully decorated. There was nothing that we needed that wasn’t there. The welcome pack was out of this world - definitely the best we’ve ever had at a holiday cottage. The only disappointment was the time it takes to heat up the hot tub - because it is a wood-fired hot tub you need to stay with it, and it takes several hours.

- Sharon, May 2023

Hi Sharon, thank you so much for your feedback. We are all absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the cottage and the welcome pack from our local farm shop Lobbs. A lot of our guests find the process of lighting and firing up the hot tub to be a fun and enjoyable part of the experience of the eco tub... but I am sorry you didn't find it so. We do take special requests to fire up the hot tub in advance of arrival and will accommodate this where it is possible (subject to James being able to stay longer to do so). If you would like to come back and stay with us again and give us plenty of notice we would do everything in our power to ensure the hot tub is toasty for your arrival! :) Property Owner
Stephanie May 2023

“We had a really nice holiday at Sea Cliff Cottage with a great welcome box of goodies and extra treats on arrival.”

The cottage was ideally situated for the local beach and amenities, (the Ship Inn food is very good), but there is a steep hill back to the cottage from the village. Claire the Housekeeper is lovely, helpful and responsive when contacted. We must mention James (I believe he is the maintenance man) who was so helpful on the morning we were leaving - thank you). Very friendly neighbours and in the village. The rear garden has great views from both terraces, is private and quiet but is really very steep to access. The eco hot tub is a force to be reckoned with! We tried several times to 'fire' it up and eventually sadly admitted defeat, but other reviews have enjoyed a HOT tub so perhaps it was us!! Overall we all had an enjoyable time in this cosy cottage.

- Stephanie, May 2023

Dear Stephanie I am so pleased you found the cottage and the village so welcoming and I couldn't agree more how lovely and helpful both Claire and James are. Did you discover the back way down to the village which has a gentler gradient with stairs but is slightly longer also if used at night you would need to take a torch as it is unlit? I am glad you found the rear terraced garden worth the stairs up to it; it really is very special up there and so private. I am sorry you struggled with firing up the hot tub we do provide comprehensive instructions both inside the house and by the hot tub, I promise you they work as I have tested it myself and our other guests have enjoyed the results. I do hope we have the opportunity of welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Melanie May 2023

“Lovely cottage, very well equipped, but would appreciate a teapot as mugs quite small!”

Standard of cleaning fell a little short in the lounge, lots of hair and crumbs on the cow hide under the foot rest. Mouldy blind in small bathroom. Overall looked a little tired. But welcome hamper best we have ever had. None of the above would stop us coming back, just constructive feedback to help you keep your 5 star rating.

- Melanie, May 2023

Dear Melanie, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We strive to give our guests the best possible experience we can and hold ourselves to very high standards. All of your issues will be addressed and rest assured if we have the opportunity of welcoming you back a teapot will be there to greet you (as well as all the other goodies!) Property Owner

Jennifer April 2023

“Sea Cliff Cottage is a really charming and comfortable that put us in a relaxed holiday mood immediately.”

There was a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us. It's right on the SW coastal path and in a very sheltered position. There is a great pub and cake shop a few minutes walk away. We can highly recommend this property. We really did not want to leave!!

- Jennifer, April 2023

Dear Jennifer we are all so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us at Sea Cliff you were a pleasure to host. The hamper is from our local farm shop Lobby with local goodies. Walking the coastal path in either direction is breathtaking. We look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

Everything has been thought of to keep the whole family entertained and comfortable. Such a warm welcome from the hamper to the chocolates on our pillows to the popcorn and Prosecco in the cinema room! Claire is just a message away and was so helpful and friendly! We will definitely be back for another stay and would recommend to anyone!

“The cottage & location was super.”

Spacious and well equipped with a scrumptious welcome hamper. Claire the property manager was very friendly, helpful and responsive. Lots to do in the area, great local pub, walks from the door.

Dear Claire all of us at Sea Cliff Cottage are delighted that you had such an enjoyable stay at the cottage. All of the items in the welcome hamper come from our fantastic local farm shop, Lobbs, which is located in the grounds of 'The Lost Gardens of Heligan' , just a few minutes drive from the cottage. We do hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future. Property Owner

Sarah November 2022

“Beautiful property, friendly and helpful housekeeper, cozy little cottage perfect for a Cornwall escape.”

Truly walking distance to the beach and off road parking for 2–3 cars. Only thing to note is the garden - I don’t think the pictures show how steep the stairs are to the terrace garden. A small portion of the garden is accessible from the kitchen but the bbq area and hot tub are up very steep uneven stairs which are tricky especially in the dark. Not a problem for us but worth noting for anyone who’s not confident on their feet. The garden itself is gorgeous, private, amazing views across the countryside and the hot tub was perfect for star gazing. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back for another holiday :)

- Sarah, November 2022

Colette September 2022

“Loved this cottage, we had such a good holiday!”

The welcome hamper was very generous and there were lots of great little touches like being stocked with games, dvds & books. We loved the cinema room, we only used the other living room once! The area is lovely too and you can walk down to the beach within a couple of minutes. We took a couple of trips out - there’s plenty of lovely harbour towns and great views to see close by. We even got lucky enough to see some dolphins whilst on a boat tour! I didn’t expect that in England to be honest. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone, it was a brilliant home for the week. Wish we didn’t have to leave!

Dear Colette , we are delighted to hear you had such a wonderful holiday. We do hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future!! Property Owner
Richard September 2022

“Fantastic cottage in lovely terrace overlooking Pentewan.”

Brilliant layout perfect for either one or two couples or a small family. Welcome hamper very generous and very good quality and the bottle of gin in the cinema room a very welcome surprise. Very short walk down to the village with all the facilities you need, The Ship Inn and both cafes are highly recommended. Really easy access to the fabulous walking routes on the coastal paths and Pentewan trail. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sea Cliff Cottage, excellent in every way.

- Richard, September 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback on your stay it is always helpful to us and our future guests. It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family and we do hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Jennie August 2022

“Lovely property in a great location.”

Well equipped, with some nice touches. Food hamper was lovely, but as I am coeliac alot of it wasn't suitable. Only complaint would be standard of cleaning. Thick dust on blue bed head, drips on wall by the bin, freezer drawer stuck due to thick ice,half melted lollies left in freezer, marks on sofa, recycling left from previous occupants,Hoover bag completely full! Otherwise had a nice stay!

- Jennie, August 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback we do appreciate it. It is a shame you did not let us know that you are coeliac before arrival as we would have adjusted the contents of the welcome hamper to accommodate this. We are always happy to adjust the the hamper in line with guests dietary needs if we are informed in advance. I am so sorry that you had an issue with the standard of cleaning because as you can tell from previous reviews it is something myself, Claire and her team take great pride in. However, we acknowledge that mistakes can happen and all issues will be addressed. The fridge and freezer are cleaned out after every guest and can only think the freezer drawer was overlooked. All of the upholstery is professionally cleaned at the start of the season in April and again at end of October in readiness for our winter guests. Claire and her team deal with what marks they can. The recycling is collected by the council once a fortnight and suitable containers are provided out the back. We have added checking the hoover bag to the list of regular jobs that need doing. We do appreciate your feedback as we are always striving to provide the best guest experience possible I would only have wished that you had let us know while you were there so we could have come out and rectified any issues that you had. We do hope that you will return and let us show you a dust free.... gluten free time!! Property Owner
Helen August 2022

“Had a great stay at the holiday cottage and the boutique feel was perfect.”

There were lots of lovely extras that made it special from the Food hamper and chocolates on the pillow to the gin and popcorn in the cinema room. The steps to each terrace are very steep and a lot of them. This would put us off returning. Although we had a hot tub which we did use there were not enough logs to heat it for the whole week and I was hoping for a Jacuzzi style.

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Sea Cliff. There are quite a few steps up to the garden terraces but we believe worth it for the extraordinarily beautiful views you then enjoy. We provide enough logs for the first firing of the hot tub which can then be maintained very easily at that temperature with the lid on and gentle firing. While we do provide a lot of extras, as we like our guests to feel pampered, it is a self catering cottage and logs to maintain it are readily available locally. The hot tub is an eco wood fired wooden hot tub which we feel is more suited to the natural surroundings than the modern jacuzzi style. Property Owner

“Very enjoyable stay at Sea Cliff - super convenient location for beach holiday, water sports hire, coastal walks and day trips to surrounding areas.”

Comfortable & homely cottage with everything + unexpected extras to start your holiday stay. Housekeeper was very helpful answering questions when needed (although we couldn't get the games consoles to work in the end - not necessarily a bad thing...!). Hot tub took a long while to heat up but well worth it !! Hope to stay again in the future !

- Leo, July 2022

So pleased you had an enjoyable stay at Sea Cliff. I am glad you kept going with the hot tub as it really is a very special experience with the gorgeous views of the valley. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

Jamie June 2022

“The property was excellent and really made our stay comfortable.”

All the little things made a big difference, for example, the chocolates on the pillows and the gin and popcorn in the cinema room. Plus the welcome package was most helpful. Claire the housekeeper was wonderful and assisted us with our questions regarding the property and even called back the next day to make sure we were ok. An absolute star and a credit to the owner. Thanks for everything. Jamie, Jolene and Harvie.

- Jamie, June 2022

Dear Jamie Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we hope to welcome you back soon. You are so right Claire and all of the Sea Cliff team take great pride in giving our guests the best possible experience that we can. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than re-welcoming previous guests we have a number of regular returners. Thanks Marie Property Owner
Andrew January 2022

“Fabulous cottage with unique touches.”

Great location just a stroll away from a beautiful beach. Local pub nearby and dog friendly. Ideal location for exploring. Welcome basket was amazing …… gin, popcorn, scones ,jam n cream , fresh bread , milk , muesli, butter and local bacon and sausage. So appreciated. Furnished to a boutique standard . Eco hot tub and cinema room were fabulous. Can’t recommend this cottage enough . X

- Andrew, January 2022

Dear Andrew Thank you for your kind words and I will pass on your comments to Claire and the Sea Cliff team, who work so hard to give our guests the best possible experience. We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future. Many thanks Marie Property Owner

“Lovely accommodation.”

Incredibly clean and well presented. Fantastic welcome package + additional items. Wonderfully placed for a walking holiday - hardly used the car at all. We would hope to return.

Carole January 2022

“What a super cottage.”

It had everything we could possibly wish for and the welcome hamper and bottle of gin were fantastic. We had a lovely winter break in this beautiful part of the world. Only wish we had booked for longer!

- Carole, January 2022
Helen December 2021

“Absolutely stunning house to stay in.”

Spotlessly clean. Really loved the comfort of the beds and waking out to look out at the views. The beach is heavenly and such a short walk away. Definitely planning on booking again, fell in love with the house and the area.

- Helen, December 2021
Sharon November 2021

“As alway we had a fabulous stay at the cottage.”

Great hamper and lovely little touches. Claire makes sure there is everything you need. Can’t wait to visit again home from home.

- Sharon, November 2021
Susan November 2021

“All in all 4 of us enjoyed our stay.”

Beds very comfy but shower room needs more thought. No where to hang bath towels, no heated towel rail and no radiator therefore quite cold in Winter. Wash basin unusable due to being very high on shelf. Only one toilet roll per bathroom. In the kitchen some cupboard and drawer knobs were loose and can't be tightened. There was no washing up liquid, and very few dishwasher tablets. Out of 15 remotes in property 3 were needing repairing, this was found out when engineer came out to check tvs and remotes. If you don't have sky etc no instruction on which remote is needed. Our friends do have sky but they were confused. After contacting the caretaker Claire, she was very helpful in organising TV man and in posting new remotes the following day. The snib on front door locked us out one day, but luckily my arm was long enough and slim enough to go through letter box and push it back up. As it was Winter we didn't use outdoor facilities, but the steps are very steep and slippy with wet leaves, I would think most over 50s would think twice about going up. The hamper was much appreciated. Beach very nice and village pub The Ship was very friendly with good food and atmosphere.

- Susan, November 2021

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. There is a shelf on which to store towels. However, a freestanding towel rail will be purchased. There is under floor heating in the shower room with the heating controls outside the door which allows the temperature to be adjusted. As this is a self catering property, enough toilet rolls, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets are provided to start off your stay, along with a welcome hamper. There is a remote provided for each individual Sky box. A gardener attends the property regularly and also power washes the steps. However, at this time of year leaves are constantly falling. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and the local beach and village pub. Property Owner
Serena November 2021

“We have just spent a wonderful week at Sea Cliff Cottage.”

Everything was perfect. Claire was easy to contact and super helpful. She even put up some Christmas lights for our 'early Christmas celebrations'. The house istself was spotless, beautifully decorated and had some lovely touches. The beds, were super comfy and huge! We all loved the terraced garden, especially the hot tub and magnificent views. The property has everything you could possibly need to create the perfect home from home. I can not recommend it highly enough. We will be returning. Thank you.

- Serena, November 2021
Gareth October 2021

“Lovely property peaceful location a lot of character.”

The only issue was the hot tub, it took 4 hrs and £15 of wood to heat and we had to climb 41 steps continuously to tend to the fire. It may be better in summer but does not seem to be eco friendly

- Gareth, October 2021
Ben October 2021

“The property was excellent, and a joy for all the family to stay in.”

High spec and very stylish. Located on a quiet road, it is impossible not to relax and escape from the world. It was also very clean and tidy which is obviously important at the moment.

- Ben, October 2021
Ryan October 2021

“Claire was very helpful, the facilities were exactly as listed and the neighbours very welcoming, will be rebooking.”

- Ryan, October 2021
Gillian September 2021

“The house is beautiful and so clean and welcoming.”

A welcome hamper was provided with all the basics to start our first morning of well together with a bottle of gin and tonics, lovely touch. Superb games room with PS and Xbox which the boys loved! Fantastic views and a five minute walk to the beach which is stunning and the south coastal walks which were amazing. Claire, the housekeeper is super friendly and happy to assist in any way that she can and is on the other end of the phone. It was like being home from home, there is nothing that could be improved. Thank you so much. We will definitely go back.

- Gillian, September 2021
Jennifer September 2021

“The cottage was overall an ok place to stay and in a lovely location with a nice welcome box but it was let down by overall not being maintained.”

The hot tub was full of dead wood lice and the wooden cover was crawling with them which were not filtered out when heated just a fishing nets to fish them out. Neither of the lamps in one of the bedrooms worked. A lot of the glasses were dirty, not what you’d expect during Covid times. There were multiple things in the kitchen that we’re broken, like tongs with half a plastic handle missing. The gas bbq on the front clearly hadn’t been used for a long time with plant growth going through it. There were an awful lot of remotes in the movie room some of which didn’t work as well as the TVs in the upstairs room being difficult to connect to the WiFi. The hot water seemed to run out after a bath. The downstairs toilet seat was loose and moved when sat on. The pillows and duvet could do with replacing as they were stained when bedding removed and pillows worn down. The dryer didn’t work properly and kept saying it was full and only worked for 2 minutes before stopping. The oven made a humming noise when not in use as well as the lights in the kitchen when turned on. Some of the garden furniture was broken.

- Jennifer, September 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. As you’ll see to date, comments on the property, cleanliness and the owner have been complimentary so far and yours is the first which isn’t so. We’ve spoken to the owner who dispute your statement on several issues and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified. The hot tub is an eco-tub and does therefore not have a filter system, the hot tub is emptied, cleaned and sanitized every week to the highest standard. The owner is currently looking into purchasing an alternative rimmed system for the lid. Cleaning is a top priority at Sea Cliff Cottage, the cleaners carry out a full fogging service between each changeover. The tongs were not broken, they merely come apart to clean! All other items have been checked and nothing was found to be broken in the kitchen. The gardener has checked and cleaned both BBQ's, as he does every week, and did not find any plant growth? Each remote serves a purpose in the movie room ie PlayStation, X box, LED lights all run off a remote and all were checked and working fine as was the Wi-Fi. The hot water is run from a combi boiler and therefore cannot run out, there is an endless supply of hot water for baths and showers at Sea Cliff Cottage. Thank you for making us aware of the loose toilet seat and broken bedroom lamps. New lamps have been ordered and a maintenance man will attend to the loo seat. Following an extremely busy season pillows and duvets have now been replaced. The dryer has been checked and run through on each cycle and is working just fine, we think this was down to user error. 1 garden lounger was indeed broken, again thank you for bringing this to our attention, this has been removed and will be replaced. The owner takes their letting of Sea Cliff Cottage very seriously and prides themselves on giving good holiday experiences – this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.

Fiona May 2021

“We had a fabulous week at Sea Cliff Cottage in Pentewan.”

This is a fabulous rental, as soon as I spotted this house I looked no further. In reality it is every bit as beautiful if not more so than the photos as the house has real character. The location is towards the end of a private road so very few cars & and just the odd coastal path walker, the neighbours are super friendly too. We had glorious weather and spent a lot of time in the top garden which has spectacular views and is completely private, perfect for getting stuck into a good book with a cold drink. My teens loved the cinema room which had everything they could possibly wish for! We went to the Ship twice which I would recommend for good pub grub and took the coastal path to Mevagissey with the dog - be warned this is very very steep in places but some stunning views along the way. It is a pity the local beach doesn’t allow dogs at all but there were lots of dog friendly options in the vicinity. A big thanks to Claire who was super helpful and for the very thoughtful treats left for us. We loved everything about our holiday and will return in the future for sure.

- Fiona, May 2021
Amanda May 2021

“Lovely cottage in a great area perfect for visiting so many wonderful places.”

Accommodation was clean and well equipped to a high standard. Property spacious yet retained original features where possible. Log burner a great addition. The front garden is a real evening sun trap- the rear gardens however were accessed by around 30-40 fairly steep and challenging steps so would not be suitable to anyone with mobility issues. Hot tub great in principle but be prepared to spend time getting it to temperature (the listing states 3.5 hours which we felt was accurate). The village is lovely and the beach is great, again due to the location this is accessed either via a fairly challenging set of steps, or a steep hill. This is not uncommon in Cornwall but again please do consider this if you aren’t so comfortable with this. The road to access the property is also a little narrow- however a Tesco van can fit so I’m sure most cars can- it may just look a little daunting at first! Heligan and Eden are both close, Meva is also very much a favourite of ours. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to the area again in future!

“Absolutely beautiful cottage, even better than the photos!”

Great location and lots of things to do. We have had an amazing time, the kids of enjoyed the cinema room and we have all had a fantastic time in the hot tub indulging in the breathtaking views. Claire the caretaker was extremely helpful and made our stay very comfortable , we have been truly spoilt. Thanks Claire x

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful had everything you could ask for and more.”

The housekeeper Claire you could ask anything from the area to the facilities in the house and she was so accommodating would definitely recommend this property

- Lorraine, April 2021
Claire October 2020

“This was a beautiful cottage.”

We loved it. Every little detail had been thought about. From the welcome pack to the chocolates on the bed. The hot tub was an extra treat. We would definitely recommend this cottage to a friend.

- Claire, October 2020
Keith October 2020

“Sea Cliff is a wonderful house and extremely comfortable and cozy, If the weathers not so good you can light the wood burner and enjoy the comfort of the beautiful living room.”

The bedrooms are lovely and spacious with high quality linen and the bathrooms are also well finished. The area is obviously excellent for coastal walks and river walks. We bought food from Lobbs Farm and cooked in quite often as there wasn’t a huge range of fabulous restaurants in the village. I would highly recommend afternoon tea at the Cornwall Hotel, you can walk from the house all the way along the river and they also welcome dogs. I would highly recommend this property for a holiday.

- Keith, October 2020
Gemma October 2020

“A truly beautiful property with so much attention to detail.”

Nothing is to much for Claire the manager she really was amazing and couldn’t do enough. 2mins and your on the beach and we can highly recommend the walk to mevagissey, the views are stunning and the hot tub was very much appreciated when we got back along with a large gin, which was in the beautiful hamper when we arrived at the cottage.

- Gemma, October 2020
Stephen September 2020

“The cottage was beautiful but advertised as having a hot tub, unfortunately it was a wood fired one & took over 2 hours & lots of wood to not even get thoroughly warm?”

! . . this was a bit of a disappointment.

Lee August 2020

Helen August 2020

“We stayed in the cottage with our children and dog for a week in August.”

The cottage is beautiful and stylishly decorated. It is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need whilst away. Our children particularly loved the cinema room which is great for watching films on an evening. The garden is well thought out and provides a lovely space to sit out and enjoy the stunning views or to have a bbq. Whilst the hot tub requires a little perseverance it is well worth the effort. The little extras at this cottage make it well worth it’s 5 star rating. Claire, the cottage caretaker was very helpful before our stay in providing additional local information. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this cottage to anyone.

- Helen, August 2020
Clair August 2020

“We had a fantastic week at Sea Cliff Cottage.”

The cottage was very clean and we were very reassured by this as it was our first holiday in the Covid era. We loved the hot tub and used it every day. The garden terraces were lovely, we especially liked the sun loungers and the bbq. The movie room was great, very cosy and we loved the starry ceiling. There were lots of extra touches from the gin and delicious hamper to the dog bowls which we really appreciated. Pentewan is a lovely village, we enjoyed meals at The Ship Inn and the beach was perfect for swimming and kayaking.

- Clair, August 2020

“This cottage is adorable.”

Ideally located on a such a quite road above the village with ample parking. Roomy cottage with lovely views. Very well equipped, they have though of nearly everything you should need on your holiday home from home. We didn't use the hot tub or the top gardens as we were happy with being out the hot sun. But it is just as the pictures, you just need to be careful getting up and down as it is steep. The main fridge being under the stairs is not ideal, kept banging our heads. Maybe a big one in the dinning room would be worth a thought. Movie room is a great idea and the bottle of gin well received, yummy thank you. The bedding and towels were superb. Main bedroom bed is so comfy. Bathrooms are fab! The hamper was divine, being fish eaters the smoked salmon was delightful. So much to do, the river is 5 mins walk down the hill, the beach is the same. We walked the dog down the river most days as the beach is 'no dogs' for all the summer months which is a shame. But there are so many dog beaches a short drive away which makes you go and explore. Two great pubs and one very nice cafe who do great lattes. Even with the beach and campsite in the village being full the cottage is so quite and relaxing. You can walk to Mevagissey if you are able ( its challenging) on the coastal path within an hour. Claire and her team are amazing. So good we've booked again for next year!

- Shelley, July 2020
Thomas February 2020

“I can hands down say without argument this is the best cottage/holiday let/holiday home we have ever come across.”

It is clear both the owner and those in charge of running it have put a great amount of thought, love and care into making this a truly perfect home from home. The cottage itself is light and airy and coastal whilst managing to be equally warm and inviting. The interior is of an excellent standard and feels like a real show of luxury and style. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to make a self catering holiday as easy as it can be. Dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, coffee machine etc. We received the most beautiful welcome hamper filled with essentials and delicious farm shop bacon and sausages and scones and clotted cream! The beds are incredibly comfortable and we have both slept like a dream for the past two weeks. The cinema room and entertainment selections are brilliant. Sky cinema, Netflix, PS4 and Xbox. There was also a lovely bottle of gin and tonic as a special treat waiting for us in here! The beach is a five minute walk from the cottage (there is a hill!), and only 5 mins walk from the village pub and a couple of small and sweet cafes. We have found the locals to be lovely and friendly and the beach both serene and beautiful, although we were here out of season and I’m told by the locals that it is bustling village in the summer. We booked here as a delayed honeymoon after discovering we were pregnant and not wanting to fly abroad but I am now so glad we did. I can’t imagine anywhere we could have made more perfect memories. Claire who looks after the property could not have been more welcoming and helpful on hand for anything we needed. She had left a bottle of champagne as a congratulatory treat for us and made sure the heating was on before we arrived. The team came in after our first week to clean, bring fresh bedding and towels. I couldn’t rave about Sea Cliff Cottage enough and we only wish we didn’t have to leave! Thank you so much Claire. We can’t wait to come back again. Tom & Karen

- Thomas, February 2020
Sarah February 2020

“We had an amazing week in the most gorgeous cottage, the whole family loved it, especially the hot tub.”

Big surprise first morning a gorgeous hamper arrived, everything you needed for a cooked breakfast, to my husband’s delight a bottle of gin included! Happy days. The lounge had a gorgeous log burner, lovely to come home to after a day out in the cold and rain. We felt completely at home the second we walked through the door. We had our beautiful grandson with us, fantastic baby facility’s, travel cot and a hire chair. Also our little grand dog Howie came, fantastic you can bring your dogs. Claire the housekeeper was on hand if you needed anything. Thank you again for a wonderful stay

- Sarah, February 2020
Sharon November 2019

“Our second visit and just as good as our first, we have already booked again for Easter 2020.”

A real home away from home made special by Claire and the crew that do a phenomenal job of welcoming us and accommodating our whims! Even though Cornwall is truly beautiful, after a days coastal walking we can’t wait to get back to light the fire and cosy up. Perfect!!! Thank you!!

- Sharon, November 2019
Joanna November 2019

“We booked this holiday because we wanted a cottage with a hot tub.”

I did phone in advance to check that there would be enough fuel for the hot tub (it was an eco one) and also to find out how long it would take to heat up- I was told just over an hour. On the first night my husband spent 2 hours outside (in the rain) , feeding the hot tub with the 2 plus bags of seasoned wood provided but it only got up to 30 degrees so we were unable to get in. The second evening we bought 3 further bags from the local garage . After another 2 hours it was still only lukewarm and so we gave up. We didn’t try on the third evening. The cottage was lovely and Claire the housekeeper was very friendly (and sorted the broken backdoor as soon as we reported it ) but it was very disappointed not to be able to use the one thing I’d most been looking forward to.

- Joanna, November 2019

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is such a shame you didn't persevere with the hot tub, your stay was during a particularly wet weekend so we can appreciate that this was not ideal. The hot tub is cleaned and filled for every incoming guest and therefore the water needs to be heated for longer on the first occasion (usually 3 hours). Subsequent dips only need an hour with the woodburner lit to come up to a very comfortable 38 degrees. We hope to welcome you back on another occasion. Property Owner
Suzie October 2019

“Sea Cliff Cottage is by far the best accommodation we have stayed in.”

Our teenage girls loved the Cinema room and the hot tub. It was such a pleasure to spend a week there, we didn’t want to leave! Great location, amazing beach , delicious meals at the local pub and Fab burgers at HUBBOX on the beach. We were lucky with the weather so enjoyed walks along the beach every day. Thank you to Claire for all her help !

- Suzie, October 2019
Sharon August 2019

“The house was absolutely lovely and we particularly enjoyed the log-burner, the cinema room and the gardens - we even managed a couple of BBQs.”

The location is the ideal blend of peace and quiet with great access to coastal walks, amenities (read: pubs!) and local towns. We also found the neighbours to be wonderfully welcoming and friendly. We were particularly impressed with the housekeeping team - Claire and her colleagues did an amazing job, not only with the well thought out goodies hamper and other extras, but when we had a minor issue with electrics on arrival they were on it like a flash (pardon the pun), with Claire on site within 15 minutes quickly followed by the electricians who rectified the fault in short order. Outstanding!! We have already booked again!

- Sharon, August 2019
Amelia July 2019

“Great property to stay in; a real second home.”

The facilities are very good; the hot tub is great fun and whilst it is a bit of a hike to get up to the back garden, the options of the porch and front of house terrace provided great flexibility. Kids particularly loved the cinema room and the gin and tonic on arrival was most gratefully received after a long drive! The area is great for walking, cycling and exploring. Would definitely go again.

- Amelia, July 2019
Andrew June 2019

“You know you've had a fabulous holiday when you don't want to go home.”

Sea Cliff Cottage is a great place for a relaxing holiday. It is comfortable, spacious and well appointed, a home from home. We loved the tv room with its starry sky feature, the free gin and tonic and full sky package. The bathrooms were luxurious and everything had been thought of for our comfort. The bedrooms are large and have plenty of wardrobe space. The welcome hamper was of very high quality and contained most of the essentials including butter, milk, bread, pate and fresh fruit to name some of the items, The garden terraces are really lovely, however, the steps to get to them are a bit of a climb, our knees and legs were aching a bit by the end of the week, but the views from the upper terrace were spectacular and offered a great viewing point for sunsets. An easy drive to local attractions and an easy walk to the beach and cliff top walk. There was plenty of parking space and the residents living in the rest of the terrace were very friendly. All in all a really lovely house and highly recommended for a holiday.

The property

Just a short stroll from the white sands of Pentewan Beach; Sea Cliff Cottage has been transformed to blend the beautiful original architecture with a stylish, fresh look.

This immaculate Grade II listed holiday home sits within a private cul de sac above the village, with lovely views across the valley.

Perfect for friends or a family get together, this house lies on the tranquil South Cornish coastline and is well placed to explore the picture perfect coves and azure blue waters.

The interior comprises of a dining room with a large white wooden dining table, with pretty window seat, this versatile space becomes the hub of the house as guests gather over supper or a morning coffee.

After an eventful day, retire to the sitting room cosying up in front of the log burner, or settle down in the Sky movie room, perfect for those cooler evenings.

A central staircase leads to the first floor where you can choose from two Super King bedrooms, one can be arranged as single beds on request.

To the front is a charming stone veranda which affords dramatic sunset views across Pentewan Valley, below this is a sunken dining area with large wooden dining table, and gas barbecue to enjoy leisurely meals.

Climb the steps from the first floor to the rear terraced gardens, here you will find additional dining with barbecue and higher up a wood fired hot tub to soak in or just relax on rocking sun loungers; a great way to while away sunny afternoons.

A real bonus is the 3 car parking spaces in front of the house.

This characterful village is packed with Cornish charm from the traditional country pub, The Ship Inn which serves excellent food, to the local stores and gift shop.

There is a beach shack restaurant directly on the sand to enjoy barefoot relaxed alfresco dining.

The clear waters offer safe swimming and are popular for water sports from water skiing to kayaking.

The more recently created Pentewan Bike Trail is popular with all ages leading you along the river and through the woods.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

PENTEWAN

St Austell 4 miles; Mevagissey 2 miles.

Pentewan is a delightful coastal village set back from the sandy expanse of Pentewan Beach. The village shop and pub draw visitors from far and wide, while the beach is good for children and a favourite with water sport enthusiasts. Dogs are only permitted on the beach between the first Sunday in November and the end of February, but dog walkers can enjoy the stunning woodland of the Pentewan Valley Trail, along with other beaches a short drive away. The coastal path passes through the village and as it climbs up the cliffside towards Mevagissey, the views across the bay toward Devon in the far distance are breath-taking. Good cycle paths pass close by and there is cycle hire available in the village. The nearby fishing village of Mevagissey offers many restaurants and fresh local fish. The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Pinetum Gardens are both just a short drive away, while the Eden Project is within easy reach and well worth a visit.

Note: Children require adult supervision in the garden areas due to steps and terraced levels.

Note: Xmas and New Year bookings must commence on the standard change over day of Friday
