Padstow Cottages with Hot Tubs

What our customers say about their holidays

  Our family consisted of 8 adults and a dog and we had a fabulous stay.

  We knew the house was going to be lovely but it was even more impressive in real life. The master bedroom, dressing area, ensuite and terrace were all amazing with so much space. Given the top quality furnishings throughout - the sun-loungers on the private terrace could do with upgrading. The kitchen/family room was again very spacious and great for relaxing with the dog. It was really well stocked with mountains of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery etc and huge pans suitable for cooking for 8 adults. A couple more easy chairs would have been nice as this is where we tended to gather to play our games etc (as we had a dog). Although we didn't use it much, the pet free lounge was very inviting. The utility room, wet room and dog room with stable door were fab. This house is immaculate and the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in with no 'doggy' smells. The outside area was lovely with great views and the hot tub was a huge hit with all the family. Lots of comfortable garden seating and sturdy picnic table but a bit snug for 8 adults. With having a young energetic dog, we felt that the perimeter fence could have been more secure - but we understand that with the size of the garden this is a large job. We were surprised to see that Prysken had been rented out despite the website saying that it wouldn't - our dog escaped twice as Prysken had left both their outside gates open. The house is ideally situated to visit Padstow, Trevone, Harlyn and Constantine beaches and we made use of the bodyboards, surfboards and wetsuits provided. We would definitely recommend the house and the surrounding area for a fabulous holiday.

  We experienced a flood in one of the bedrooms, with water pouring through the ceiling in the early hours, the occupants including a baby had to move rooms.

  A bottle of wine had been offered at the beginning of our stay for "a damp patch that had been repaired but not yet decorated". As we accepted the wine John Bray will not accept any responsibility stating that "as we were told of repair work and accepted the goodwill gesture the owners will not compensate" and have advised us to take the owners to court. We would not of accepted the wine if we had known it was more than a damp patch which had not been repaired, resulting in a serious flood. I feel strongly that with the amount of revenue generated, the property should be maintained to a habitable level at the very least. Surely there must be trust on both sides and feel disappointed and let down. We have stayed at Westray on numerous occasions and are very fond of it. but are always surprised at the lack of maintenance and customer welcome offered. Eg no milk, teabags or even salt offered. More seriously, the grill, coffee machine and bedside light faulty, smell of mould in main bedroom, stuck window in top bedroom. These were not reported as we discovered them over the course of the week and did not want to disrupt our holiday. Our only complaint has been the flood and I feel strongly that as the property was not in a habitable state we should be entitled to a partial refund. I hope that the owners are fully aware of these issues.

  The property itself is gorgeous, with all amenities required - Can't fault that.

  Great location - apart from the main road is quite busy and the building works next door aren't ideal. Few negative comments - The cleanliness of the property was very below par and let it down - it was very very dusty and dirty around the edges... Minor things you would expect for price tag - washing up supplies any provided a jay cloth, washing liquid and 10 dishwasher tablets - sponges or washing up brushes and antibac spray would be of use. There were no black bin bags even though it asks you to put rubbish out in them, and only 2 part used toilet rolls for the whole house. Bunk bed room - When booking we were told that we could use all the beds in the bunk bed room - this was important to us and why we booked this property as we needed to use all the beds for the kids - but on arrival we were only provided bedding for the bottom bunks and when we called the office to rectify we were told we were not allowed to use the top bunks at all. Mixed info. Building works - Appreciated the refund but when agreeing to it we were told the building works would be inside only - they were working on the roof with hammers from 8am-4pm. The property was a shell and quite clearly external works were in progress not internal. Otherwise we loved it and what it offered!

  This was our second time at this property and that reflects the fact that we really can’t imagine anywhere better for a multi-generation family holiday. The large, open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area is ideal for keeping an eye on the children whilst preparing meals or just sitting down together to eat or play games. It makes a great dance floor too! The layout of the bedrooms is also very good and enables different families or different generations to have their own private space with a good degree of separation in what are effectively different ‘wings’ of the property. The gardens are very extensive and ideal for games of hide and seek, football or frisbee. But perhaps best of all are the hot tub and outside dining areas. The hot tub can be used in all weathers and at any time of year and our children and grandchildren spent many happy hours in there both at the beginning and end of the day. The location of the property provides an ideal base for visiting Padstow and the Camel Trail or for exploring what we consider to be the loveliest part of Cornwall for beaches and coastal walks. We will definitely be back!

  We, being four adults and four children under 6 stayed at Treveth Lowen in August 2021 and had a fantastic time. The time was spent surfing at nearby (5 minutes drive) Polzeath, water skiing at Rock and exploring the locality with several trips to Padstow and the "other side" of the estuary.The property is very well laid out with a large kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms (one of which is en-suite) and a large living room with stunning views over Polzeath and the sea beyond. There is a large garden, perfect for the children to play whilst preparing for the day ahead or winding down after a long day.The property is ideally located being close to Polzeath but out of its hustle and bustle, equally it has excellent access to main roads, ensuring the county's famed beaches, towns and villages are easily reached.We had a wonderful time at Treveth Lowen and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday in Cornwall and is seeking a tidy and comfortable house in a stunning and ideal location.
