Beach Cottages In Cornwall

What our customers say about their holidays

  Had an excellent at Gennaker, the property was clean, light and had a high standard of appliances and furniture.

  The location was convenient for touring the South West, we normally stay in St. Ives and was nice to not be in the constant traffic jam trying to get into St.Ives. It was convenient to the south west coastal path to walk into St. Ives (especially as it meant we passed the awesome Porthminster beach and cafe on the walk). It was a short walk to Carbis Beach which is safe, quite and very very clean (only thing to be aware of, its a VERY steep walk so is hard work on the walk back). As in other reviews the walls are pretty thin so you can hear the neighbors, tbh this was not a big deal for us as we spent most of our time outside of the apartment. One important piece of feedback for the owner (which I believe has been repeated in other reviews), the instructions for the heating make no sense. They talk of turning a dial to 1, there are no dials on the heating controls only buttons. Luckily I have seen this type of heating control before so could work out how to turn the under floor heating on. However, if you have not seen this type of unit before it is VERY confusing, there are buttons on the control unit, buttons on the boiler and then dials on the thermostat in each room. I REALLY think you need to look at these instructions as the 'stress' of trying to work out the heating unit is a bad start to any holiday. Anyhoo, we had a fab stay and apart from the heating instructions which is a minor minor point, this is a very good property which is good value for money. Thanks so much

  We have been traveling to Cornwall for over 30 years, and we are delighted to say that Nappers Cottage is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in, it is absolutely beautiful throughout.

  It is so comfortable to return back to in the evenings in order to relax and unwind after a busy day out sight seeing. The lounge and dinning rooms are very large/spacious, and even though there was only myself and my husband staying with out little dogs, there would be plenty of room for a full family to enjoy without living on top of each other. The kitchen is one of the best equipped I have seen, with an extensive range of pots, pans, crockery, utensils etc, there is a large fridge freezer for all your provisions, and an extensive selection of dogs bowls etc, Steve has organised everything beautifully and though of everything that you might need. The bedrooms are spacious, with lovely bedding, and the beds are so comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom is very large with an amazing large bath tub, and large separate shower cubicle. There is a large front garden which is shingled, and a patio back garden with tables and chairs. There is also plenty of parking outside on the roads, which were quiet for the majority of the time, with only the occasional car passing, so a very quiet location. Steve the owner was so helpful and always on hand if we needed anything, very easy and quick to contact/respond if required. We would not hesitate to return again, and or recommend to family and friends, what an absolutely lovely stay at Nappers cottage.

  The cottage is stunning and location fantastic. Boscastle is a fantastic location to stay and the centre just a short 10 minute walk from the cottage. We had most things that we needed in the cottage but a little disappointed with the lack of toilet rolls, kitchen towel and washing up liquid that we were given to last the week. The cottage was lovely and spacious, with a beautiful garden to use as well and parking is just on the other side of the road to the cottage which was an added bonus. Bedrooms were very comfortable with nice amount of cotton towels to use. Having the utility room with the washing machine and dryer along with an additional shower and toilet and an ironing board was very handy to wash any clothes before we headed home. Decor was nice and comfortable and loved having sky to watch when we were at home in the evening. All in all we were happy with the cottage, it gave us the comfort feeling of being at home but also ideally located for our needs.

  The whole family loved our stay.

  The house was spacious and we didn't feel cramped at all, also lovely and light. Plenty of outside space for four very active grandchildren, who loved the garden and watching the rabbits who came into the garden every morning and watching the sheep in the field behind the garden. The garden has enough space for a gentle kick about with a ball which the children loved, plenty of car parking on the driveway. The area is very quite with some really lovely gentle walks locally. The beaches, which are very good are no more than about ten minutes drive away with restaurants and toilets, eccentrical with small children. We especially loved Summerleaze beach in Bude, huge beach with seawater swimming pool, also lovely little rock pools on the beach for the very small members of the family, even some of the older members of the family! Would go again anytime. Thanks to the very helpful owners.

  We loved staying at nappers cottage .

  The cottage is spacious and modern and beautifully decorated. The host even provided washing capsules ,liquid ,handwash and toilet rolls .. tea coffe milk and even Cornish crackers ! which was a godsend after a long drive so we didn't have to rush to the shops . The beds are comfy and we slept really well . Lovely hot shower and a bath if you need a soak ! The kitchen is well equipped for everything you need . We caught the bus to st Ives just at the top of the road and was only £10 for a roaming family day ticket. We did walk to the beach too - across the nature reserve which was lovely . The cottage is ideally situated to explore that end of Cornwall - we only had @30 min drive either way to porthcurno and kynance . Parking outside the cottage wasn't an issue either . Thank you for an amazing week - can't recommend nappers cottage enough ! :)
