“Beautiful little stone barn, pretty and cosy.”

Owners were extremely friendly, very nice people nothing was too much trouble, they allowed us to sit in their own garden rather than outside the barn, using their recliners as the weather was so lovely, overlooking the beautiful countryside, it was a most peaceful and relaxing stay, we would recommend it.

“Great 2 night short break.”

Kim the owner was on hand when we arrived to give us a quick tour of the lovely warm "Snug". Beautifully presented, clean and inviting. You can tell that Kim has put in a lot of thought and effort into making our stay at The Snug one to remember. Lovely and comfortable furnishings, well equipped kitchen, great shower and even a table and chairs outside to catch the last of the sun! Great location to visit all the pretty harbours in the area and the Eden Project too which is only a few minutes down the road. We would definitely want to return to the Snug or the separate larger house next door. Thank Kim for a great stay!

- Philip, April 2021
Zoe April 2021

“Super clean, comfortable (bed was particularly comfy!”

) and suitably named! It really was a snug.. the owners were friendly and accomodating. Perfectly located, not far from Charlestown Harbour with it's great food places, views, history and relaxed atmosphere. We are getting married in July and the snug gave us a much needed getaway, a break from wedding prep and the children. Sunny morning courtyard to enjoy a quiet coffee before setting off for the day, you really could be anywhere!!

- Zoe, April 2021
Kate October 2020

“The snug was absolutely wonderful, just what I needed.”

It was very clean, warm, comfortable with a lovely hot shower. Not only that, it had a lot of extra, thoughtful touches that made it a very special place. It was so cosy, relaxing and peaceful. Located in a quiet, scenic place, but also had easy access to some of Cornwalls most beautiful places. The hosts were also extremely welcoming, friendly, relaxed and were on had if needed. I definitely would return for another stay.

Lorraine July 2020

“Snug Cottage is exactly as it reads on the tin.”

A tad difficult to find with the final directions but I think only because we came from an opposite direction but once we passed, turned around and spotted the two garage doors it was fine. Our first impression of the cottage was great, sunshine on the seats outside and a lovely welcome from Kim. As soon as you go in you can tell it was spotless and clean. The owners have thought of everything and the attention to detail and workmanship for the renovation is excellent. We have had a lovely week there 17th - 24th July and were very lucky with the weather. It is in a great spot for getting around to all the lovely places Cornwall has to offer and is near enough walking distance to the Eden Project. Easy to get to Charlestown, St Austell, Mevagissy, Looe, Polperro, Fowey and a simple 50 min drive down to St Ives. Both Snug Cottage and The Barn (which is on the same plot) are immaculate, definitey 5 star ratings :)

Michael October 2019

“It was a very relaxing break.”

Owners very helpful and friendly and very central for lots of attractions

- Michael, October 2019
Thomas August 2019

“It’s a fantastic little cottage with everything you need for a little base for your stay.”

it’s in a gorgeous area and being in st Austell, it’s in a great area to travel out to the well known parts of Cornwall. also the hosts are a lovely couple who made every effort to make us feel welcome and ensure that we had everything we needed for our trip! highly recommend either of the properties that they rent out.

- Thomas, August 2019
Samantha August 2019

“Super cosy, extremely clean & homely.”

Very welcoming & tastefully decorated. It was a little difficult to find at first as there are no signs indicating the whereabouts of the property...the sat nav as well as ourselves were very confused... We had a great holiday however & would thoroughly recommend The Snug

- Samantha, August 2019
Jacqueline July 2019

“Kim and Gary are excellent hosts.”

Excellent location for exploring Cornwall. If you are looking for a property that is within walking distance of a local pub then this may not be the property for you. Gary kindly dropped and picked us up so we could go out for dinner - very kind, Thank you.

- Jacqueline, July 2019
Caron July 2019

“My Husband and I stayed at The Snug last week, and we were both really impressed with the holiday cottage and the warm greeting and goodbye we got from Kim.”

The property was beautifully decorated throughout, and had everything we needed. We were out exploring Cornwall on a daily basis and it was a lovely retreat to get back to after long days out. We went to many places, and would recommend Port Isaac, Land's End, Falmouth, (especially Pendennis Castle and the Ranch Steakhouse & Grill), St Ives, Charlestown, The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, Newquay, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Jamaica Inn for wonderful food. You can also just sit out in the courtyard and enjoy the peace and quiet or go for a walk around the lakes at the back of the property. We will be going back for another holiday so we can explore more of Cornwall.

Tony October 2018

“This was our second visit to the snug and was as good as the first.”

A lovely little cottage in a secluded location. Cosy with good facilities. Easy access to local attractions and not a stretch to get around the rest of Cornwall. The owners are lovely, nothing too much bother. If self catering all the main supermarkets are within easy reach. Poldark country so much to see and do. May well return next year

- Tony, October 2018
Keith September 2018

“Had a very warm welcome from Kim and Gary and continued throughout the whole of our stay.”

Very comfortable and homely accommodation. Great location to explore Cornwall.

- Keith, September 2018
Sue September 2018

“The Snug is aptly named but was perfect for two adults who did not want to cook but needed a base.”

The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They have put a great deal of thought into the layout and decoration of this property. We really enjoyed our stay at the Snug.

- Sue, September 2018
Dan August 2018

“The snug was just what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations, set in wonderful surroundings, with lots of wildlife and scenery.”

The owners were very welcoming and helpful, they were able to recommend some lovely places to visit and eat out etc. It’s also located very central to lots of attractions within Cornwall. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

- Dan, August 2018
Mike July 2018

“Everything was perfect.”

The location was quiet, helped considerably by perfect weather for the week. The cottage was ideal for the two of us with a fully equipped kitchen area and owners present next door. We have only one complaint - your map on your website showing location. Yours took us to Resugga Farm off Hallaze Road, not Lower Resugga Farm in Rescorla about 1/2 mile to the north on another turning off the Penwithick Road. Thank goodness for GPS and Google Maps street view.

- Mike, July 2018
David June 2018

“Brilliant hosts very friendly and informative.”

The snug was furnished to a high standard and every thing you could want was there. would recommend to anyone who wants a quite relaxing holiday.

- David, June 2018
John June 2018

“Snug by name, snug by nature.”

A beautiful cottage, ideal for a restful break. Near enough to cycle routes or to drive for days out.

Alan June 2018

“Really comfortable well appointed cottage nicely set out in a quiet location.”

Had a warm welcome from Kim and Gary who were always happy to stop and have a chat about the day and make suggestions. Didn't get a visit from the deer but had an owl stop by on our last night. Two local pubs within short drives with excellent food although cottage was well equipped for dining in as well. Could easily have spent another week there.

- Alan, June 2018
Christopher May 2018

“The Snug very much lived up to expectations.”

It was very cosy, comfortable and blissfully quiet. We were made very welcome by Kim & Gary, the latter even venturing outside during a major thunderstorm to check up on our wellbeing and being soaked in the process. Not many people are so committed to looking after their guests! A lot of thought had obviously been put into making the Snug ideal for a delightful break in a gorgeous environment.

- Christopher, May 2018
Jason May 2018

“Exactly what we were sold.”

Beautiful, idyllic and a great base for exploring Cornwall. Loved every second of being there. Kim and Gary are the perfect hosts xx

- Jason, May 2018
Tony April 2018

“The Snug was an absolute delight.”

Well equipped, cosy and warm. Facilities were excellent. The induction hob & combi cooker were more than adequate for our needs and we cooked some lovely meals while there. The location in Rescorla, down a little lane, was discreet but within easy reach of St Austell and the many other nearby attractions. Eden, Heligan, Charlestown, Fowey are all just a short drive. We went to St Ives, just an hour away, and there is so much to see and do, with the satisfying knowledge you will return to a little sanctuary of calm when you have sated your appetite for exploration. All the major supermarkets are within easy reach so self catering is no effort. The rural setting is just gorgeous. We saw deer from our window and many varieties of birds. The owners, who live in the main house were warm, friendly and helpful, yet unobtrusive. All in all a very satisfying break and cliched it may sound, but we would happily go back. I can highly recommend this lovely little cottage.

- Tony, April 2018
Amer March 2018

“We had an amazing stay at the Snug.”

It was beautifully decorated with everything you need for a weekend away and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. I’d happily stay there again.
