September 2024

“A great Mon-Fri break for 6 adults where we enjoyed the local coastline and tourists spots as well as a few off the beacon walks!”

Weather was kind so we explored each day and made use of the house to eat in with a meal at Kind Arthur's in Tintagel which was great. Little Jonwyns was a new venture with the lighting app but sorted and worked well. A bit chilly so the extra blankets were great! A little note to say that the bunk room in Jonwyns really is not suitable for adults at all even on the single - a little cramped but it certainly didn't spoil our stay. We all would definitely consider a revisit but it is always ...

Thank you for taking time to write a review and providing feedback, Pauline. We are so glad you had a great time and hope you consider a re-visit in the not too distant future. Best wishes, Dean & Debs :-) Property Owner
Joanne August 2024

“Such a beautiful cottage, we loved staying here.”

Was well equipped and even better than on the photos. The only thing that was dissapointing was that the mattress in the master bedroom was quite uncomfortable. As the rest of the house is furnished to such a high standard, its a shame the matrress did not make for a comfortable nights sleep and the blinds did not keep any light out of the room.

- Joanne, August 2024

Thank you for taking the time to write a response, Joanne. We are so glad you had a nice stay and sorry that you didn't feel the mattress in the master bedroom was not comfortable enough for you. All the mattresses in the house are good quality and there is also a topper on each of them so I will look into this. Thank you for your feedback and we do hope you consider a return in the not too distant future. Debs & Dean. Property Owner
Ann August 2024

“The house was lovely and in a convenient location for exploring N Cornwall.”

unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to make use of the garden and patio. Our dog quickly settled in the dog bed making himself at home and I found a couple of short walks across the road for to exercise him in the mornings. It would have been helpful to have known that the only means of making coffee was a pod machine, and a few more dish washer tablets would have made life easier (maybe one for each day of the stay) But overall we had a great time thank you

- Ann, August 2024

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, Ann, but sorry that the weather was inclement. Being so close to the Atlantic, it does sometimes have a mind of its own. Sorry that you didn't feel the Information regarding coffee making was adequate; we consider that this is well covered - 2x Nespresso machines / 2x kettles / Cafetiere in the kitchen cupboard plus the complimentary pods and sachets that are left. Regardless - we will look at how the write up can be tweaked. Noted also regarding the dishwasher tablets. We do hope you consider a return in the not too distance future. Dean & Debs Property Owner
Jon August 2024

“We all enjoyed our stay here and although a lovely location it was closer to a busy road than expected but not a problem,beautiful cottage,very spacious and light with high end fittings and fixtures,the cleaner could do with a nudge though as living room was still covered in previous dogs hair and some pots and pans being unusable sadly are my negatives oh plus garden table/chair set were not safe for use,would definitely book again sometime though.”

- Jon, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback; we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I am not sure why the garden chairs and table was unsafe - we were at the property only two weeks ago and everything was fine. We will look into this. The house is usually spotless so we will look to see what has happened during this particular clean. Glad you are considering re-booking in the future.

Jo July 2024

“We had a wonderful week at Jonwyns.”

The quality of the accommodation, furnishings and decor were lovely. As a base for that part of the north Cornish coast it was excellent, and Tintagel literally was 10 minutes away. As the overall ambience and quality of the accommodation was to such a high standard it was a shame that 3 of the 6 garden chairs were very rickety and did not feel safe to use. We contacted the property managers to let them know. We also found the sauté pans were worn and food caught easily. We are aware most people will not cook, however as we enjoyed our time here we felt it was important to feed this back…. Not a complaint, just for info… thank you for sharing your home with us .

- Jo, July 2024

Thank you for your review, Jo; we are so glad you had a good time. Thank you for your feedback regarding the oven trays and for being great guests. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Debs and Dean. Property Owner
Lesley September 2023

“This was our second stay at Jonwyn's and it was equally lovely.”

The location is excellent and the house is comfortable and well equipped. The listing did mention a firepit though, which we couldn't find (?) Otherwise a really relaxing holiday (and lovely September weather) from a perfect base to explore the North coast of Cornwall.

- Lesley, September 2023

Thank you for your review, Lesley. We are so glad you had a good time. Apologies for the missing fire pit - we hope it did not detract too much from your stay. Dean & Debs Property Owner
Bonnie August 2023

“Overall we loved our stay at Jonwyns.”

We thought there were some really great touches - well equipped kitchen (lots of plates, bowls, glasses, serving dishes etc….) comfy sofas and living space, light and airy in the kitchen-living room area. Second sitting room cosy and would be perfect in winter. Loved the view to the mine. Garden nice - just wished we could have used it (we had wet weather all week). We did manage to get one BBQ in. Nicely decorated. Wi-Fi was very good! Good instructions to find it in welcome email. This property is like a home rather than just a place to stay. A couple of very small details: 1) Black out blind in bunk bed room 2) Window cleaner? 3) A washing machine combined with a drier. We had a wet week and the option to tumble dry a few things would have been good. 4) I meant to leave a note but the sink and shower in the main bathroom did not drain very well. Probably just needs some unblocking liquid. 5) King sized bed or even just replace the mattresses? 6) The cottage had a real fusty smell on arrival. This subsided after a day or two after opening all windows but maybe on exchange day it would be good to open all the windows. These points did not really affect our stay and we would absolutely stay again but just thought we’d say as sometimes the finer details can make a difference.

- Bonnie, August 2023

Thanks for the feedback, Bonnie - we will look into the points you have raised. We are so glad you had a great time despite the inclement weather; being so close to the coast, it does tend to have a mind of its own. Thanks for being great guests and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Debs & Dean Property Owner
James June 2023

“Fantastic cottage, lovely secluded area.”

Well equipped kitchen and lovely comfy living rooms. Really was such a lovely place and the owners bent over backwards to help us with our residency so we can get married in the parish of Tintagel. Cannot fault this cottage or the owners at all. There was bread and milk and some fudge and biscuits when we got there and a really lovely atmosphere. Cannot recommended this place enough!

- James, June 2023

Thank you James, for booking, and for taking the time to write a review; we are so glad you had a good stay at the house. Best of luck with the wedding planning and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Dean & Debs Property Owner
Wendy March 2023

“This was our second visit to Jonwyns and we enjoyed it just as much as the first visit.”

The location of the cottage is wonderful and the cottage itself is both spacious and cosy at the same time. We went for many walks in the area and also visited the Port William pub in Trebarwith Strand on many occasions which is well worth a visit. We hope to visit Jonwyns again in the not to distant future. Thank you to the owners of Jonwyns for letting us stay in this beautiful property and also to Sykes Cottages for a very efficient service.

- Wendy, March 2023

Many thanks for your review, Wendy; we are glad you had another great time and are considering a return soon. Debs & Dean Property Owner
Michelle February 2023

“Another lovely week at Jonwyns!”

This house is perfect for our family and we feel so relaxed there. Already looking forward to next time.

- Michelle, February 2023

We are so glad you had another great time, Michele, and thanks for booking again next year! Debs & Dean. Property Owner

Wendy January 2023

“Jonwyns is a well appointed tastefully refurbished cottage in an ideal location, set back from the road with good parking for three vehicles.”

Although close to a road traffic is extremely light even during the rush hour. Kitchen facilities and equipment were of a high standard and appliances were easy to use. The kitchen/dining/sitting area was such a lovely space for eating and relaxing that we did not use the second sitting room during our stay although this was also a lovely cosy room. We can definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return again very soon. The only observation we would make is that it would be helpful to mention in the information pack that the microwave is in the external utility room as it is not initially apparent, That said, this is a lovely cottage in an idyllic location.

- Wendy, January 2023

Many thanks for your feedback, Wendy; noted regarding the instructions about the microwave's location. We are so glad you had a nice week at Jonwyns, and are contemplating a return visit soon. Dean & Debs Property Owner
Patrick November 2022

“Beautifully located cottage.”

Magnificent inside and out. We had the most comfortable relaxed break here and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. The vaulted lounge, dining, kitchen is stunning. Whilst there we had a few heavy storms but stayed really warm and dry in this bright tastefully decorated home. Hardly used the other lounge

- Patrick, November 2022

Thanks for taking time to write a review, Patrick. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at the property and hope you consider booking again. We are building a cabin in December so if you do, there will be more accommodation options available. Debs & Dean Property Owner
Carl September 2022

“We had a great week at Jonwyns.”

The inside of the house is well equipped and to a great standard. Outside space is ample for a family holiday with a grass area and also a large patio are with patio table and chairs. Even has a pizza oven but we weren’t brave enough to fire it up. We made use of the log burner in the main living area on the chillier nights and when the weather was a little inclement. The cleanliness of the property was excellent and no issues that we could find. The location of Jonwyns is ideal to use as a base for North Cornwall and South Devon. Within easy reach of Bude, Wadebridge and other tourist destinations. We walked locally down to the “Port William” pub in Trebarwith Strand. It is a good walk but worth it with the food and beers as a reward. We also ate out in Tintagel at a little vegan restaurant called “Vega”, great food, good portions and friendly proprietor. All in all this is an excellent property and would definitely consider staying again when we are back in the area.

- Carl, September 2022

Thanks for your feedback, Carl. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Jonwyns, and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Debs & Dean. Property Owner
Deb September 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay, had everything we needed and more, very homely.”

A very good base to explore the surrounding areas.

- Deb, September 2022

Thanks for your feedback Deb - much appreciated. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Jonwyns. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Debs & Dean. Property Owner
Marie September 2022

“Not as close to amenities as we thought but had an elderly lady with us but being from flat Lincolnshire 1 mile seems further in Cornwall.”

Fantastic home from home cottage would highly recommend x

- Marie, September 2022

Thanks for taking time to feedback, Marie. Yes - the Cornish mile definitely seems a little further than those in Lincolnshire - but the scenery really is worth it. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon. Debs & Dean. Property Owner
Clare August 2022

“Lovely house - plenty of space for our 3 teens to spread out and entertain themselves.”

We spent most days on Trebarwith Strand or walking the SW Coastal path. Real home from home, well equipped and spacious. Thanks!

- Clare, August 2022

Thanks Clare. We are glad you had a good time and thank you for taking time to feed back. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Mark August 2022

“Jonwyns was a fantastic holiday home, everything you needed was there, it really is as nice as the pictures.”

There was more than enough space, for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Also amazing location, next to the road down to the beach/pub and very close to Tinagel. Would highly recommend!

- Mark, August 2022

Thank you for your review and positive feedback, Mark. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Jonwyns and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Karen July 2022

“Lovely cottage with all of the home comforts you need.”

Tastefully designed and decorated. Calming and restful Jonwyns is the ideal place to either restore the soul or provide aspiration.

- Karen, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, Karen. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

Joanne May 2022

“A really stunning cottage which was very comfortable and well equipped.”

It is beautifully decorated and has gorgeous views. The en-suite bathroom was my favourite room with views across the hills. All of it was wonderful. The garden furniture could do with replacing as it was a bit wobbly but otherwise it was fabulous!! 5 stars!!

- Joanne, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback, Joanne. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and do hope you visit Jonwyns again soon. Property Owner
Jane May 2022

“Property was very well located so didn't need to drive far to beaches local eateries or tourist spots.”

Nowhere was really in walking distance to eat out that we found. The property was very comfortable and the garden was excellent for my two dogs. My friend found the bed in the second double bedroom uncomfortable but that is an individual matter. Overall we had an excellent holiday and loved the Netflix and Disney channels for the rainy times.

- Jane, May 2022

Thanks Jane; we are glad you had a lovely time at the house and that your dogs made the most of the garden. We hope the 'rainy times' you mention were few and far between, and that you consider coming back again soon. Property Owner
Alex April 2022

“We had a really good stay.”

Our only issues were one shower leaked and another did not drain properly. The mattress in the spare room was also quite uncomfortable. Other than these things, our stay was brilliant and were happy with our break.

- Alex, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback; we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. On checking, we could not find any evidence of a leak or any issue with drainage. Thank you for the alert though, this is something we will continue to monitor. We hope to welcome you back in the not too distance future. Property Owner
Deborah April 2022

“The house was absolutely gorgeous, really convenient for sight seeing and very relaxing.”

Kim who manages the house for the owners was really helpful when we had an issue and so helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

- Deborah, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback, Deborah. We are so glad you had a nice time at the house. Property Owner
Stephen February 2022

“Beautiful cottage, comfortable and very well equipped with high quality fixtures and fittings.”

We would recommend it and would love to stay here again. However a couple of things need addressing. The heating didn't work well and it took 2 days to get the underfloor heating really warm downstairs and the radiators elsewhere were barely lukewarm for most of the time. Thankfully there were 2 portable radiators which worked well and we were able to warm it up with those. If they hadn't been provided we would have called the owners. We did not need to use the second living room which is just as well as it was like a fridge. Also the bins at the front door were overflowing on the day we arrived with both recycling and rubbish. The bins were not emptied during our stay and no info as to when they should be put out was provided. This needs addressing as it's not a good welcome to what is otherwise a fantastic cottage in a lovely location. Jonwyns is close to beautiful Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel, and many other lovely places. The well enclosed garden was very safe for our dogs.

- Stephen, February 2022

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are sorry you experienced a few issues with the heating. I am not sure what could have been the problem as it works well and kicks in if the air temperature drops below the set comfort temperature (21 degrees by default). The instructions for re-setting this were detailed in the 'in-house' booklet and pdf instructions we sent you. I am not sure what happened with the bins - again there are instructions in the book and we have a private company that collects / empties from their current location outside the property. They should have been empty on your arrival, so I will contact the firm that is responsible to find out why they weren't. Once again, we are glad you had a nice stay and do apologise for these issues. Thank you for booking Jonwyns and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Michelle February 2022

“We had a wonderful holiday at Jonwyns.”

The house is beautifully decorated and has the best equipped kitchen! The children adored the games and our little dogs were so comfortable and safe in the enclosed garden. The surrounding area is stunning and so fun to explore. We have already booked a return visit. Thank you so much for having us!

- Michelle, February 2022

Thank you for the feedback Michelle. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and have subsequently re-booked for next year :-) Property Owner
Emma February 2022

“Such a wonderful place.”

We felt very at home, the house has all the home comforts you could want, we especially enjoyed the log fires, selection of board games and bubble baths with a view. All within a short distance to the coast on foot and close to other great places to visit. Our dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden and all the walkies, and it was so lovely to be able to stay somewhere so nice with dogs. Alot of care has been put in to making this a beautiful home. Only things to mention is we did have a problem with the water pressure when someone else was using water the taps upstairs stopped working we were only a group of 3 but imagine this could be a problem for larger groups so may need looking at. Highly recommend you stay here!

- Emma, February 2022

Thank you, Emma, for your positive comments and constructive feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and your time in the property and surrounding area. We value your feedback regarding the water pressure, and your subsequent patience with it. The engineer has now looked at the system and it is operating at full power. We do hope you book again and thank you for being great guests. Property Owner

The property

Jonwyns, a characterful three-bedroom holiday home, is tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Trewarmett, a stone's throw from Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel in Cornwall.

Brimming with history dating back over 200 years whilst boasting a bright and homely interior, Jonwyns makes an excellent base for an adventure in Cornwall.

Park up in one of three spaces provided before unloading your belongings and making your way inside your new home-from-home to begin your staycation.

As you move through the hallway of this lovely abode you will find the warm and welcoming sitting room; look forward to snuggling up in front of the crackling woodburning stove with your loved ones for an evening.

When stomachs start to rumble, enjoy the open-plan kitchen/diner resting at the garden end of the property, beautifully-adorned with wooden apex ceilings effortlessly blended together with a contemporary décor, complete with underfloor heating to warm your toes.

Uncork a bottle of wine and take a seat on the relaxing sofas or at the dining table as the designated chef utilises the fabulous range of conveniences provided to rustle up an array of hearty treats.

In the warmer months, make mealtimes an alfresco affair by firing up the pizza oven or barbeque in the garden; a truly lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple.

Alternatively, enjoy the stunning views from the cabin deck, across the fields to the Prince of Wales Tine Mine; a real place of Cornish heritage!

When the darker skies roll in, retreat indoors and climb the stairs to the first floor to catch your rest in one of three well-presented bedrooms, comprising of two doubles, one with access to its own en-suite including a bath, along with a family room fit with a bunk and a single, perfect for sleepovers for the little ones!

At the same time, relatives, friends or loved ones can also retreat to Little Jonwyns, the wonderfully-equipped cabin resting a few steps away to the side of the main garden.

Preparing for another day of adventure in the morning couldn't be easier, with a shower room set across the way from the bedrooms and a handy wet room positioned on the ground floor, also perfect for washing off sandy toes or muddy paws.

For those evenings when you fancy a break from the kitchen, head to the local pub, The Port William Inn, and indulge in some hearty pub fare in a truly magnificent setting where children and dogs are made very welcome.

For a wider variety of choice, the high-street in the nearby village of Tintagel is bustling with an array of delicious eateries to choose from, promising to serve something to cater for all tastes and budgets.

The glorious sands of Trebarwith Beach rest nearby and offer a tranquil spot to paddle the shores of the glistening waters, try your hand at surfing or watch the sun as it sets across the horizon beyond the impressive Gull Rock.

For more seaside adventures, head south along the coast to Port Isaac, Polzeath and Rock, each brimming with sights, attractions and amenities.

From Rock you can easily catch the ferry for a short ride to the very pretty Padstow.

Those looking to explore the great outdoors will be spoilt for choice with both the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Dartmoor National Park within easy reach; lace up your walking boots and traverse through miles of spectacular rural landscape.

With so much to see and do, round up your loved ones and embark on a well-needed adventure to Jonwyns.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

TREWARMETT

Trebarwith 1.4 miles; Tintagel 1.7 miles; Camelford 4.3 miles; Port Isaac 8.6 miles.

The small hamlet of Trewarmett enjoys wonderful views across the valley and is a stones throw from nearby Tintagel.

The famous fishing harbour village of Port Isaac and the town of Tintagel, with its tourist attractions and King Arthur’s legendary castle, are both a short drive, while the stunning surfing beach at Polzeath is a mere nine miles away. Slaughtersbridge, where King Arthur reputedly fought his last battle, is a short distance from the hamlet and a drive north along the coast takes in the beautiful cove at Crackington Haven. Delabole Quarry is just down the road and is an interesting tourist attraction with stunning views. It is the gateway to great countryside walks, whilst it also offers local buses which serve numerous towns and villages nearby.
