  Lovely cottage , super area beds nice and comfy overall great place to stay. For fellow renters the driveway is very steep first gear all the way. We have stayed at places in the past where we were left a massive welcome pack. But the owners of Driftwood don't leave you much at all. The only thing left was coffee, tea ,sugar and some UHT milk pots. Bottle of washing up liquid, piece of scotch brite and a j cloth so your able to make a cup of tea or coffee on arrival and that's it. Oh and wash up afterwards. One thing I found a bit stingey they only supplied 1 bog roll in a property with two bathrooms come on Driftwood Bog Rolls are not that pricey at least supply one per bathroom. Otherwise cannot fault the place. The pub in the village Merrymoor serves good food at reasonable cost Pint of lager and a short no mixer was £8 and meals was around £13 to £21 which these days is not bad. If you fancy Kitchen near the beach have a fat credit card as its very pricey but food looks good. We drove from Chelmsford Essex so a long drive but worth it for the views and areas of Mawgan Porth where we stayed. Port Issac great (Dr Martin) get there early to get parked. Eden project another good day out. Plus Looe where they filmed a series of a spin off from death in paradise lovely little village on the coast. Will return again. Yes.

  We love Cornwall & have stayed in a number of different places over the years however Mawgan Porth is just something special. It has everything you could need in very easy access & staying in Europa Court at Sandcastles makes it even easier! The place itself is well decorated & has always been clean whenever we have stayed there. It has a wonderful swimming pool to use & all the people we have come across while staying there have been lovely - including John who looks after the place. Mawgan Porth is stunning...the beautiful beach is less than 5 minute walk on the flat (important to note when in Cornwall) but also within that space you have a fun little crazy golf, several different food options including the wonderful Merrymoor Inn which is a family run independent pub that serves the best Sunday Carvery! There is also 2 different shops & coffee shop - in all it has everything you possible could need on your doorstep meaning that you can just chill & enjoy your surroundings!

  We stay in Mawgan Porth each year and chose the apartment for it's great location.

  We arrived to find it just as advertised, a lovely apartment with everything you need and spotlessly clean. Our only gripe was the ensuite was unusable due to a broken toilet seat which couldn't be sat on and a basin that had the plug fast stuck shut. Surely the cleaners would have noticed this and should have asked maintenance to fix. Also the door from the lounge to the hallway doesn't close properly so it rattles unless you leave it wide open. It would be handier if the terrace had some sort of fence or barrier so that you could sit out with your dogs on the terrace. The rule of no dogs on the grass means you can't really sit on the terrace if you have dogs with you for concern of them stepping out. The entrance to the car park could do with better thought as there's minimal room to sit your car in the road whilst fiddling with a chain to open it. We had a lovely holiday and would certainly come back. Thank you

  Spoiled by rain and the localised flooding that swamped our car, writing it off.

  Number 2 is an ideal location with easy walk to shop and beach However our biggest bug bear was getting to grips with operating the main TV. As non smart TV amateurs, it was easy to accidentally go off live channel by touching the remote. The remote itself is showing signs of wear with buttons having symbols erased so not easy to understand what they are for. As owners of a yorkie we took throws for the sofas, these daily would have white short hairs on them, probably from the scatter cushions. Perhaps they could be hoovered both sides. We were unable to open the patio door, it appeared the external lock may well have been corroded. Aside for these slight problems, we would happily go back, hoping for better weather.

  Although small the apartment was perfectly formed and well equipped.

  2 very comfy sofas and a huge tv! However advertising this as a dog friendly place to stay with a garden is a bit of a stretch. I think dog owners need to know that the rules of the property are that dogs are NOT allowed on the grass outside the patio doors. If your dog needs to go out you need to take it across the road. There is also no information regarding the parking which could be confusing. However Mawgan Porth is an amazing place but please don’t tell anyone! It’s been our secret for years. Everywhere is dog friendly apart from the small supermarket.
