  Parwin is a lovely holiday cottage and is spacious, well maintained and lovely especially for 8 people and 2 dogs!

  It's set in a lovely area only a short 30minute walk from Tintagel and a beach which also have 2 pubs close by. It has lovely scenery and is nice and quiet which is great for a few days away with the family. Its also perfect for driving to other towns close by including Bude, Newquay, Boscastle and Port Isaac. Cannot fault the property really in anyway it was maintained to a high standard and ticked all our boxes for comfort, facilities and space! If there are any criticisms it might be the road that leads towards the beach is a bit of a nightmare being a steep single road with few passing places so be aware it would be better coming from the Tintagel side. Also, another niggle, is the distinct lack of parking for 2 cars for we literally could not park at the allocated space at the garage at the rear and the rest of the area was parked up however we were fortunate there were no other cars at the other property across the road which allowed both cars to park! Overall, despite the niggles, Parwin is accurately described and we would look to book again in the future!!

  Parwin is a wonderful, truly authentic Cornish home.

  It is beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout and has all the amenities you'd expect from a high end holiday cottage. My family (and dogs!) came down to Parwin for a long weekend stay in January 2024. It was the first time we'd stayed in the property in almost 37 years. Our family owned Parwin from 1982 unti 1987, so it was especially nostalgic to stay in a property which felt so familiar and that already held such good memories for us all. The village of Treknow is well located for the amenities of Tintagel (just a five minute drive up the road) and the gorgeous scenery of Trebarwith Strand beach and surrounding cliffs. We'd particularly recommend Sunday lunch at the Mill House Inn. This great pub can be found on the road down from Treknow to Trebarwith. The Port William pub is also a good place to stop off for a pint when you come off the beach, although it is an expensive bar bill! All in all we'd thoroughly recommend a stay in Parwin. A gorgeous, cosy home with everything you'll need for a great time away.

  Had a great week in Parwin.

  The cottage is lovely and as described in the details. The kitchen/diner was a great space and very well equipped. We were 4 couples and we could comfortably fit around the large table. Sun trap of a patio which we used for bbqs some evenings. Plenty of hot water for showers. Great location. Handy for different beaches and several lovely coastal towns/villages. We walked the beautiful coastal path to Tintagel. Cross country walk to beach at Trebarwith Strand where we ate at the Port William pub. Also ate at the Mill House Inn down the lane and the Old Malthouse Inn in Tintagel when we easily walked back along the roads - about 20 mins. Parking is very tight there especially as we had 4 cars. We found spaces further up the hill. Only issue we had was the design of the en-suite shower room. The shower doesn’t drain well and so water remains all over the floor. We had a great week and would book again.

  Wonderful, comfortable holiday home!

  So very peaceful. Note, it's remote with no local shop but farm shop 15 mins drive supplies a great array of products plus has a hot food cafe. Games room was great for the couple of rainy days we had whilst staying there for a week. Hot tub a joy after the days exploring the rame peninsula. My partner has mobility challenges, but managed the stairs down to bedrooms and decking area ok. Might be challenging for others. Large outside area fab for enjoying the peace and quiet whilst taking in sea view. Lovely to have use of the telescope and binoculars to watch the fishing boats and dolphins playing. Space for one car in the drive which is on a slope, but plenty of parking on road. Highly recommend Bewsheas tapas restaurant just a short walk down the hill. Loved staying here and highly recommend if you are looking for something off beaten track and quiet beaches. Pure relaxation. Thank you Ocean View.

  What an amazing place you have!

  ! We were in love as soon as we walked into the lounge! And the coffee and bar area was my favourite room! We sent a video to friends and they were all in awe, thank you! You asked for suggestions and there were some items we had to buy so I thought you’d want to know for future guests.. Face cloths Dish cloths Potato peeler Also you could do with a sharp knife and some pans that are compatible with the hob. They said they were but we kept getting an error on the hob that made cooking difficult (pans not compatible or placed incorrectly) Short uses seemed fine but it was when the hob had been in use for a longer spell, ie for a larger meal. We ate in a lot as you can see but I guess many will who have a large group to feed x The rest of the house was so well equipped and we LOVED the coffee machine and mugs. I just heard there’s a feedback form sent too so I will fill this out also.
