What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a characterful cottage in an ideal location for exploring the northern beaches of Cornwall, close to Newquay and Padstow, located in a lovely village with a great beach only a 5 minute drive away.

  Nearby airport is not an issue. The cottage is well equipped for any holiday, lovely large open fireplace in lounge, good sized kitchen which is part of an extension, great utility room which would be great for coming back to, after a wet day out, nice use of surfboards to decorate the property along with some nice artwork on the walls, great large dining room table, large wet room downstairs with OK shower (though slow to drain) nice garden space at the front of the property. The house is let down by being tired in places - upstairs bathroom is desperately in need of an update eg. Discoloured toilet seat making you feel uncomfortable and clearly there used to be a shower over bath but is now a hand held shower, red sofa in lounge has clearly seen better days, carpets have a grubby feel, the two fridges both look old eg no door trays in kitchen fridge suggesting they were broken, strange use of wooden boxes in fire place, no welcome guide to tell you what to do with recycling waste or where your nearest GP, vet is etc. Overall this was a good place to explore the beauty of Cornwall in a cottage that grows on you over the week despite it being tired in places and in need of an update. Thanks to our hosts.

  We came from Germany to Cornwall and stayed for two weeks at Garden View.

  We have to say that we had a really good time. The contact with Alison in advance and during the stay was always easy and she is very helpful. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The kittchen was very well equiped. And the dining room in the conservatory is really great. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom has everything you need. The garden was great for our dog and is completely enclosed with no possibility to escape, even for little dogs. The town of Quintrell Downs is located a few miles from Newquay and a bus stop is located only a short foodwalk from the cottage. We mostly used the bus for trips to the coast and never had to wait very long for the next bus to come. There are some very nice pubs located in a foodwalk distance of the cottage. The surrounding area is really wonderful. There are so many things to do and see in Cornwall that our two weeks were not enough to explore all what we wanted. And we have to mention that this is a very dog friendly region as our Sammy was very welcome nearly everywhere we went. So we give a high recommendation for a stay at Garden View.

  We enjoyed our holiday and like previous guests have similar feedback in terms of there needing to be more crockery in the kitchen and a towel rail, or at the very least, functioning hooks on the back of the main bathroom door for wet towels.

  Upgrading to larger bath sheets would be ideal! Electric shower is showing it's age and not powerful but it's adequate. The utility room unfortunately had a damp smell during our week despite using the oil filled heater in there to try & warm it up, it's not great to store your wet weather gear and wellies as they don't dry out! The back garden could do with an outside light, especially for those with dogs wanting to pick up mess as it happens, a little tricky in the dark. It's a shame that has not been installed even though it was suggested a few months ago by other guests. Great that the rear garden was fully enclosed for dogs. Beds were comfy, the road was very quiet so we slept well. The village has a good bakery and a nice fish & chip shop. Local beaches were great for dogs, Holywell, Crantock & Perranporth etc. Excellent dog friendly pubs within short driving distances. Great location and with a little more love and maintenance this could be a fabulous bungalow for couples and small families that would command return visits.

  We had an extremely enjoyable stay; the bungalow was extremely comfortable, and everything that we could have needed had been thoughtfully provided.

  The cream tea on arrival was an excellent touch. A welcome addition would be some blinds in the bedrooms, both for privacy and for closing during the day - especially to keep the hot sun out. The garden was private and the bench seating more than adequate, but a couple of outside cushions would have made it perfect. We had a wonderful hedgehog visitor, but it stopped coming when it realised the dogs were in situ. The location of the village was perfect for our 3 most favourite beaches, and we frequented both the shop (with plentiful provisions) and chippy (excellent fish & chips). We were also lucky in stumbling across the community field for quick walks with the dogs, as well as finding the public footpath from it to a local pub! The Smugglers Den Inn was extremely welcoming, tempting us with their tasty specials menu. Well done to the owners of Dunes View; we hope to return soon.

  Little Sea Shanty proved a fantastic find this Summer. The location was perfect for us. We had an easy walk to both Porth and Lusty Glaze beaches and small supermarkets so didn't use the car every day. It was also a great place to stay to explore further afield than Newquay. Sarah, the owner had thought of every little detail to make our week's stay enjoyable. The accommodation was carefully designed to use every bit of space effectively and the fixtures and fittings were high end. We are very fussy about beds and the bed was extremely comfortable. Sarah had left chocolate treats, prosecco and even M & S dog treats and a ball for our pooch! When she found out we were vegan, she returned with vegan treats too! Sarah and her partner also gave us useful local knowledge during our stay. Make sure you book this accommodation early as I imagine it will become very popular.
