“Lovely property had a very enjoyable and relaxing break”

- Alan, October 2024
Robert September 2024

“We had a wonderful weeks holiday at this property.”

Very cosy and comfortable and adored the view from the lounge window/balcony. The sun rises were a joy to see! A well stocked kitchen with amenities made home cooking no problem. The lounge we found very comfortable and home from home. Throughly enjoyed staying at this property and will definitely be returning!

“Great place to stay - they had thought of everything to make it a home from home.”

The view & balcony are perfect place to relax and the set up up with the kitchen & living room is a great idea. Love the garden at the back of the property too - another bonus.

- Diane, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Debbie May 2024

“We loved our stay, beautiful quirky property, perfect for a couple of small, young family.”

There were a couple of things we thought could be improved, but nothing that spoilt the holiday in anyway. There's only 1 small bin in the bathroom, no other bins in the house, not even in the kitchen. We've stayed in numerous cottages over the years, and we've never been anywhere that hasn't provided a welcome pack, until here. Yes there's tea and coffee, but no milk (I had to make do with a G&T instead!!!!) Theres a great cupboard in the kitchen with lots of essentials, like salt & pepper, oil, herbs, spices etc which was very convenient. Overall though, we had a wonderful time. Very convenient location and Wadebridge has a few really nice restaurants/pubs. There's a large Co-op and Lidl within a 15 mins walk, and a Tesco, Aldi and M&S food within 10 mins drive.

“A very quirky little house in a great location.”

Wadebridge is a great base from which to explore Cornwall. The cottage is comfortable with a lovely little balcony with a pretty view. It is well equipped and we felt very at home and relaxed.

Jillian September 2023

“Pros - Excellent location (quiet and close to town centre).”

Good views from lounge. Suitable for 2 adults and 2 small children. Cons - whilst I appreciated having the condiments and basic kitchen items (ketchup, sauces, vinegar and oils etc) there were a lot of tin and packet food items (opened) that were way past the best before date (some 2018). Also 2 out of the 3 drawers in the freezer were full of opened frozen food only leaving 1 drawer for use. Overall a pleasant stay.

- Jillian, September 2023

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like our 'basic' cupboard items have been added to so will review what we leave in there and the freezer in future. Obviously anything out of date should have been thrown away? Sorry for any inconvenience and hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment Property Owner
Claire September 2023

“Lovely holiday home.”

Had everything we needed. The view from the living room/balcony is beautiful. The photos on the website don't do it justice. Lived the layout. Great base to explore most of Cornwall. Most places were only 30 mins away. Would definitely stay there again.

- Claire, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We hope you come back to Avalenn again soon Property Owner
Steven June 2023

“This property is second to none.”

From the location to the interior design everything about it is amazing. The owners are very helpful and responsive and the property was spotless. Would really recommend this as a great spot for a couple or small family to have a holiday in Wadebridge, Cornwall - which is really a perfect town to stay in my opinion with neighbouring beaches and towns less than 20 minutes away and all large supermarkets located just on the outskirts circa 5 minute drive away.

- Steven, June 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we love it too. We hope you might return again soon. Very best wishes, Heather and John Property Owner
Clare June 2023

“It's a great cottage with everything you could possibly think off.”

It's a real home from home. Great views from the balcony. The cottage is close to all the amenities and easy to get to tourist attractions.

- Clare, June 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we love it too and particularly the balcony and views. We hope you might return again soon. Very best wishes, Heather and John Property Owner
Patrcia May 2023

“Other than the weather we had an excellent stay.”

Sorry about the bin but due to the bank holiday it wasn't emptied on the Monday.

- Patrcia, May 2023

We are so glad you had a lovely stay and hope you might return again soon. Very best wishes, Heather and John Property Owner
Vanessa April 2023

“This was our second time staying at Avalenn.”

Again cosy, clean, very well equipped: very much a home from home. (I could get quite possessive about it!). Much use was made of brekkie on the balcony with the morning sun, but as the sun moves around the house during the day, it does not leave the house baking hot by the evening, something to cherish in the summer. The heating was on loads and we were toasty warm and did not need the fire. Great location for exploring North Cornwall. Just a really lovely holiday home and we had another great time. We will be back again.

- Vanessa, April 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We look forward to hearing from you again soon. John & Heather Property Owner
Jackie March 2023

“We had an amazing stay at this home from home cottage.”

It had all the facilities needed plus the extra homely touches. Ideally situated for travelling around cornwell, and an easy walk into town for an evening drink. Lots of pubs and shops . We would definitely stay here again , it’s a little gem . Free parking also a bonus .

- Jackie, March 2023

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will come and visit again soon Property Owner
Jennifer October 2022

“The cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

It has a lovely view as described from the living room and is very accessible for the Camel Trail. It was too wet to make use of the back garden but it was good for bike storage. The house was quiet at night and it was lovely waking to the view and to the sight and sounds of wading birds. An excellent base for exploring a beautiful area.

- Jennifer, October 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Hope you'll come back and stay again Property Owner

“Absolutely fantastic stay in Wadebridge.”

Cottage was exactly as pictured and described. Perfect location for visiting attractions. Lots of home comforts. Definitely visiting again. Thankyou

Guy August 2022

“Quirky cottage on 4 split levels.”

Very well equipped and lots of useful informaion. Always a parking space outside but wasn't sure if there was an allocated space. Garden secure very small but had a quaint bit of decking. Wadebridge was nice - try the Camel Trail to Padstow. Lots to do in the surrounding areas - enjoyed the go-karting at St Eval whilst Daymer Bay and Polperro were lovely. One accommodation negative though. Second bedroom was tiny and not suitable for 2 teenaagers - what you see in the photo is essentially all you get.. Also doesn't help that you have to walk through it to access the back garden so little privacy. Would stay again but only as a couple with dog.

Vanessa July 2022

“We had an amazing time.”

The property was spotless, fully equipped and very homely...not at all like a rented out holiday cottage. It is within 5 minutes' (literally) walk of the town, but not at all noisy. The balcony is a great addition over looking the river. It is right by the Camel Trail to Padstow and Bodmin and we took our bikes to take advantage of this. My brother and partner joined us "for a few days" but ended up staying the week as they loved it so much. It's perfect for exploring and/or beach lolling. We will definitely book again. Thank you for making it such a great holiday...maybe I should have given a negative review then no-one would book it and we'd have it all to ourselves in future!!!

- Vanessa, July 2022

Awe, thats so nice. We are obviously biased but we agree with you totally. Look forward to welcoming you back to Avalenn in the future. Best wishes. Heather & John Property Owner
Myriam June 2022

“Well equipped cottage.”

.. would recommend.

- Myriam, June 2022
Paula June 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at Avalenn Cottage.”

It is handy for Wadebridge with its shops and facilities and travel to other parts of Cornwall is easy. Despite the property being semi-detached it is very quiet and we never heard any noise from the neighbours (who were very friendly when we met them). Our dog also enjoyed having use of the (enclosed) back garden. There was a minor issue with the bin collection, but a quick email to the owners and it was sorted the next day. There were just a few points that the owners might like to consider: the curtains in the main bedroom were quite thin and we were awake at 4:30 every morning with light coming through (I appreciate might not be an issue for every one); also a rubber bath mat in the bath would be good (I'm not exactly infirm yet, but a wet slippery bath can be difficult to negotiate). As a dog owner, I was concerned about the number of oil diffusers dotted about. Some essential oils can be dangerous to dogs if they breathe in the droplets. I didn't know what the contents were, so shut them in the washing machine cupboard during out stay. Perhaps old fashioned air fresheners would be better. I don't want my comments to sound like a criticism as we enjoyed our stay overall, and would book again if in the area.

- Paula, June 2022
Cheryl June 2022

“The accommodation and amenities were fantastic.”

Absolutely loved the split levels of the house and the balcony was amazing. Also loved the kitchen area overlooking the living room. The location was perfect for walking into the centre of Wadebridge to explore the shops & pubs....accessing the Camel Trail to Padstow or Bodmin and also for driving to all other areas of Cornwall. Will definitely be re-booking in the future. Its a 10/10 from us.

- Cheryl, June 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. So glad you enjoyed your time at Avalenn and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

“Fantastic place to stay and really comfy.”

Had everything provided all spotless and even had extra condiments etc. Nice balcony with lovely views and small enclosed garden perfect for our dog. It was very warm when we arrived but we realised all the radiators were hot and full on so turned them down as weather was sunny.TV had free view play which was a nice touch for the late evenings.Bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay .Recommended.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Avalenn and look forward to welcoming you again in the future Property Owner
William March 2022

“We enjoyed our stay.”

The property was was as described and it's great for two people who can negotiate stairs. Enjoyed my breakfast coffee by the window in the living room with the view, and the sun pouring in. Fully equipped kitchen but luckily I brought my cafetiere. The breakfast bar in the kitchen was a unique feature as it overlooked the living room. We did cook a couple of times and it went very well. A good shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet neighbours. Always a parking space outside and it's a short walk into town. The town is a nice place with lots of proper independent shops, butchers and bakers and a few supermarkets. Not just prettified tourist outlets! A cinema too which we used. Great location to visit the local area as there is a lot to see in a 15 mile radius. Hope to return.

“Great value holiday home.”

Wadebridge is a perfect central spot for exploring cornwall.

Elaine June 2019

“Advertised on your website as a “no pets” cottage.”

It was obvious on arrival that previous guests had brought their dogs (see visitors book comments). With one of us being severe asthmatic we would not have booked this cottage. No facility for swapping duvet - arrived in 32 degrees (hottest day of year) followed by 2 weeks of hot weather and only a 13.5 tog duvet. Had to buy our own summer weight duvet just to get a good nights sleep.

“Lovely accommodation comfy, clean home from home.”

Had a great time, location exactly right for us loads to explore in the area. Highly recommend for a family holiday property. Thank you for completing our holiday with a great bade to stay.

Anthony December 2018

“It was our 2nd stay at Avalenn Cottage so we knew how suitable it is for us.”

We were very pleased about the Christmas tree , decorations, card and bottle of wine left for us. It was a lovely surprise. The cottage was warm and we a had a very enjoyable stay.

- Anthony, December 2018
Mark November 2018

“Really enjoyed our stay at Avalenn cottage.”

The house was very well presented and probably the best equipped of any holiday property we have stayed in. I would highly recommend this cottage for an out of season break. Its location was perfect for our visit and is ideally situated just a short walk from the main town centre of Wadebridge. Will definitely check availability next time we visit out of season.

Jeremy October 2017

“We had a lovely time and the house was perfectly situated.”

Instructions to use the central heating (which was on continuously, we turned it off eventually) and how to use the gas fire in the lounge (we think it didn’t work) would have been a positive move. We had a feeling they were probably new letters. Lovely accommodation, clean, tidy and very homely.

- Jeremy, October 2017
Nick February 2016

“A very cosy and friendly feeling home near to centre of the town.”

Good parking facilities, we would go back again.

The property

An ideal base for family holidays, Avalenn Cottage is a split-level townhouse in a quiet residential area of Wadebridge.

The wonderful beaches of Polzeath and Daymer Bay are close by, along with the famous Camel Trail and the amenities of Wadebridge town centre, making the location of this property ideal for exploring the local attractions.

The entrance of the house is framed with delightful features such as the climbing shrub wall and apple tree which establishes a quintessential English cottage feel.

You enter into the mid-level hallway past the bathroom then down six steps to the cosy bedrooms.

From the hallway, you head up another six steps to the sitting area where you can enjoy stunning views across the estuary.

Accessed by a set of steps, the well-equipped galley kitchen overlooks the dining area below, allowing you to chat about the day’s activities whilst preparing the evening meal.

The garden can be found at the rear of the property and comes fully enclosed, appealing to parties with small children and/or one well-behaved dog.

A short stroll will take you into Wadebridge town centre with an excellent choice of cafes, restaurants and pubs as well a variety of quirky shops selling unusual gifts, artwork, clothing and books.

The town is also the hub for the Camel Trail and with cycle hire available you can enjoy the scenery at a faster pace.

The golden sands of Daymer Bay and Polzeath beach are within a short drive and are both dog friendly.

For a change of scene, visit the vibrant city of Truro, home to some striking cathedrals and quality shopping provisions, or the famous biomes of the Eden Project; with both destinations only half an hour’s drive away.

A delightful cottage that allows for easy exploration of Cornwall.
