“A warm cosy cottage, handy for the beaches, good central location, local shops and pub on your doorstep holiday complete.”

- Patrick, December 2024
Alison October 2024

“Fabulous little cottage with everything we needed & close to some great beaches for running the dogs on daily.”

Highly recommended.

- Alison, October 2024
Susan September 2024

“We stayed in this delightful cottage for a week as my daughter lives in the village and we were celebrating my birthday.”

The property is so well equipped we didn`t need to have taken anything but our clothes. We were welcomed with a cream tea and wine which was a real surprise. There is a log burner which although we didn`t need to use it would be great if the weather was colder. There are radiators which were quite adequate. A washing machine meant I didn`t have any dirty washing to take home. The bed was very comfortable (there are two doubles but we only used one) and although the toilet is downstairs we found this was no problem at all. There is parking at the front and back of the property (unallocated). A shop next door but one to the cottage sold everything we needed. There is a good butcher`s shop and an excellent pub in the village too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Victoria Cottage and will be booking to stay there again next year . Highly recommended.

- Susan, September 2024
Simon September 2024

“Fantastic cottage and village, just 30 seconds from local shop and 2 minutes from the Pheasant pub.”

Easy drive into Newquay and surrounding towns. Really enjoyed our stay and so did our greyhound, will hopefully come back soon.

- Simon, September 2024
Charlotte April 2024

“Lovely homely cottage with everything we needed.”

Great location for exploring so many beaches and not too far from Newquay, Truro and Falmouth. Very dog friendly and lovely owners. The log burner was a real bonus after days out in the rain!

- Charlotte, April 2024
Carol March 2024

“Lovely stay.”

So kind to leave a bottle of wine and scones, thank you!

- Carol, March 2024
Kimberley February 2024

“Victoria Cottage was a real home from home for our week away, set in a great location and the cottage is lovely.”

I don't think we've stayed anywhere else that caters so well for dogs! The owners really thought of everything, even leaving dog beds and towels. They also thought of the humans too, leaving us a bottle of wine and cream tea on arrival. We would definitely stay again.

- Kimberley, February 2024

“Beautiful cottage, has everything you need for a wonderful holiday.”

- Claire, September 2023
Kevin September 2023

“Had a beautiful week in Victoria cottage it was well equipped and clean and comfortable perfect position for exploring the beaches a beautiful welcome cream tea on arrival and a bottle of rose only draw back was the fridge freezer was incredibly small needs replacing with normal size fridge and was impossible to sit in the garden at certain times of the day due to birds gathering on pylon and constantly dropping faeces obviously out of owners control we would still recommend.”

- Kevin, September 2023
Garry July 2023

“Very enjoyable stay.”

Owner very welcoming on your arrival. Cottage is perfect especially if your a dog owner. Location ideal for exploring Cornwall . With the local village shop being 20 seconds walk and The Pheasant pub being 3 minutes walk the cottage is ideal for being away from the crowds of seaside towns but offers opportunities in village to eat out or takeaway. Would definitely stay again Garry

- Garry, July 2023
Carole June 2023

“Beautiful cottage, cosy and very comfortable.”

The fact that you only have a downstairs toilet wasnt a problem. Handy having a public toilet right next to the cottage. One bedroom only has hanging hooks on the back of the door but not really a problem. Local pub the Pheasant is super freindly and does excellant food. Your also only 1 minute from the shop wich is very well stocked. If your going out dont follow the sat nav to leave the village, turn left and this will take you to the main road. Thoroughly recommend. Cream tea and a bottle of wine on arrival was a great treat

- Carole, June 2023
Jonathan March 2023

“The cottage was very clean, comfortable and warm.”

It is in an excellent location for exploring the North Cornish coastline and close to Newquay for shops and restaurants. The owners were very generous in their provision of cleaning and general supplies and even provided a cream tea too which was most welcome. In conclusion, a very nice cottage. Thank you!

- Jonathan, March 2023
Jasmine March 2023

“Victoria Cottage is delightful!”

- Jasmine, March 2023
David January 2023

“A gem of a cottage, well located in a delightful village.”

The owners were particularly hospitable yet unobtrusive, providing complimentary wine and scones and thoughtfully preparing the log burner for use.

- David, January 2023
Robert December 2022

“Very helpful hosts, both on phone and in person.”

Beautiful well maintained small house. Could not have felt more welcome. Our visit wasn’t for a holiday and the cottage was a perfect haven.

Scott October 2022

“The owners have dogs themselves and this is apparent by how they have catered for our furry family members.”

The listing on the website is accurate and the cottage is cosy, comfortable and dog friendly. Would highly recommend and would happily stay there again.

- Scott, October 2022
Chris October 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Victoria cottage.”

The owner kindly met us with the keys and allowed us early access to the cottage as we were already staying in Cornwall, a gesture we really appreciated. The owner kindly left us a welcome pack of a cream tea, a bottle of wine, tea, coffee, sugar etc. The cottage had a real home from home feel. Both bedrooms had lovely large comfortable beds. The village has a lovely local pub and fantastic beaches are all within a short drive. I am sure we will definitely return sometime soon.

- Chris, October 2022
Andrea September 2022

“Lovely cosy cottage which is convenient for the beautiful beaches around Newquay, Perranporth & beyond.”

Very dog friendly with the added touches of dog beds, towels & treats. We made full use of the log burner as the evenings were chilly. Would recommend as a base to explore and will hopefully return next year.

- Andrea, September 2022
Karen August 2022

“Thank you we had a lovely week at Victoria cottage, great base away from Newquay ...”

Beth August 2022

“Lovely clean and well equipped house.”

Small courtyard garden, ideal for sitting in peace and quiet. Ideally located for exploring Cornwall. Would highly recommend.

- Beth, August 2022
Maria July 2022

“This pretty, quaint cottage is a great base for exploring the area.”

It’s in a lovely picturesque village, we were met by the owner, Frank, who had left us wine & cream & jam scones ( thanks!) The cottage has everything you’d need, it’s well equipped, the WIFI is good inside, for dogs there are leads/ towels/treats/ water bottles / poo bags etc if you forget them. The enclosed patio was ideal for my 2 small dogs to be outside safely. The beds are super comfortable, yes the loo & shower are downstairs but there are are only 9 or 10 steps on the stairs and not too steep even with my arthritic knees. There are woods in the village to walk dogs. The Pheasant pub is 3 minutes walk away, staff are friendly & the food is good, we ate there 3 times in the evening , choosing to sit outside in a ‘pod’ in the beer garden because we have reactive dogs. The Londis shop is a couple of doors away & is well stocked. The neighbour is lovely and very forgiving of barking dogs. We drove out to St Ives, Falmouth etc & visited some of the many beaches but the best time was to be had at nearby Crantock beach, swimming in large rock pools with the dogs in the afternoon / evening when most people were leaving for home, bliss! We would definitely return!

- Maria, July 2022
Amanda July 2022

“Super cottage.”

Lovely comfortable beds etc. Very convenient to loads of places including our favourite beaches of Porth Joke and Crantock.

- Amanda, July 2022
Terence June 2022

“Well for us it wasnt ideal as being of a certain age the stairs to the bedroom were very steep, and probably could have done with a grab rail both sides, and having no bathroom upstairs was a predicament (suggest dressing room becomes a bathroom) bathroom downstairs just about adequate,suggest a larger television (as due to the bad weather we experienced) we spent a long time watching)dog walking meant we had to drive everywere and pay expensive car parking fees, no open areas in the village were we could let the dogs off for a run,or in the local areas,we had a meal in the local pub the Pheasant which was nice,I would ask more questions if we ever booked again .”

- Terence, June 2022

We are sorry the gentleman was disappointed . I did ask if , on account of his condition, he would be able to manage the stairs and he was insistent that he could. Otherwise we could have made up a bed settee downstairs. The downstairs toilet is clearly mentioned in Sykes description of the property . While there are no open spaces in the village to let a dog run free there are footpaths, bye ways and other open spaces in the vicinity where parking is free . We could have advised if asked. We are glad he enjoyed the pub and hope his health issues are resolved soon. Property Owner
Alan May 2022

“Very cosy little cottage and within 5 miles of some of cornwalls best beaches.”

The property itself is situated only a few doors away from the village shop and 5 minutes walk from the pub. We found the cottage to be spotlessly clean on arrival. The shower room sink is a bit small but they have a lovely big Belfast sink in the kitchen for brushing your teeth so not an issue. The beds were large and comfortable and the lounge was very cosy at night and there is adequate heating should it get a bit chilly in the evening. The side garden is nice and private and we took great pleasure in having regular visits from many small birds and their chicks in the morning wanting our toast. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the accommodation and would definitely stop again. Only saw the owner on arrival but they are on hand if needed. Definitely worth a stay if you have transport but there is a bus service that runs through the village to Newquay

- Alan, May 2022
Jane February 2022

“A beautiful, well equipped, comfortable cottage in a lovely village.”

Fiona June 2021

“We really enjoyed our trip here!”

Very comfortable and has all the essentials needed! Also very dog friendly :) would love to be back in the future Only recommended improvements was that the bathroom was quite small, especially the hand basin, the shower pressure could be better and also the fridge may need to be replaced as some of the food kept in the fridge like fresh meat had gone off Other than that very very lovely stay!

- Fiona, June 2021

David October 2020

“Super clean cottage.”

Very comfortable, genuinely dog friendly the bed was exceedingly comfortable. Although next to a road it’s quiet and we didn’t notice any noise. There’s off road parking behind the cottage. Lovely cream tea on arrival, a lovely touch. Shop 70yards away has everything. The only slight thing is the toilet/shower is on the ground floor. But we knew that. Considering how pleased we were with the cottage for the price we were very happy.

- David, October 2020

Elizabeth December 2019

“Had a very relaxing enjoyable time at Victoria cottage.”

The hosts were lovely, and the nice touches of wine, scones, jam, cream & mince pies were lovely in addition a bottle of milk in the fridge which were not expected but a very welcome gesture. The cottage is exactly that a cottage, 2 bedrooms, lounge/diner and kitchen with shower room off kitchen. If you are looking for lots of space this would not be for you but it was far from cramped and the addition of the dressing area off the main bedroom is a good space. It is well equipped, although we did notice some glasses that had been pushed to the back of the cupboard which were broken or cracked, I would like to think the people who broke the items told the owners and paid for the damages but as the item were still in the cupboard it is highly unlikely which would upset me if I were the owner of the property. We have left a note for the owner advising them if the glasses that are broken. I just hope they can determine who would have done the damage. We would definitely return should we want a trip like this again as it is a first for us as we have a touring caravan that we would normally use, but with it been winter decided bricks were preferable. Thank you Frank & Hillary for allowing us to use your cottage we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

- Elizabeth, December 2019
Susan October 2019

- John, October 2019
Antonio September 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and very homely.”

Very doggy friend cottage with their own room and most places in Cornwall allow dogs in bars and restaurants. The village is lovely and a great pub, local shop and butchers in minutes walk. The area is the perfect location to visit all of the beaches and places of interest. Holywell beach is the nearest and absolutely stunning!! The owners left us a bottle of wine and scones which is a really nice touch.... thank you and we will definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Antonio, September 2019
Victoria August 2019

“The super king size bed made for extra comfort.”

I slept like a baby. The owners left great gifts of scone clotted cream jam and wine. Our dog was also well catered for. Was like home from home.

- Victoria, August 2019
Madryn June 2019

“Victoria cottage is lovely, clean and neat and everything well thought of for the dogs and us also (dog treats,towels, beds, wine and scones/cream) only thing I would mention is we found fridge a little small and there was only two of us so can’t imagine there is enough space for four people however there is a really nice shop liturally a stones throw away so that worked for us.”

Nice village. Hillary tho we did not meet her as we met her husband was very helpful on the phone as unfortunately we arrived a day early with two dogs in tow and were struggling to find somewhere for the night... she rang us back when she had realised that the people in the cottage had left a day early to see if we had found somewhere, by that point to my relief we had found a travel lodge near Newquay. Very thoughtful lady sad to of not met her.

Graham September 2018

“The owners provided the cottage in beautiful condition and the facilities were first class.”

In addition the cottage is centrally situated for touring Cornwall and the village shop being 30 seconds walk away was a real bonus. The pub, the Pheasant Inn was superb, good food and welcoming plus reasonably priced and we would have to recommend the butcher in the village,

- Graham, September 2018
