Iâve stayed at Sparnal Stitch a few times, it is the absolute best house in Cornwall! Itâs great for kids with its huge garden, the house is cosy with an aga and wood burning stove and a comfortable sitting room. The kitchen has all the appliances you need as well as a big dining table for family meals. The house is very private, set in a big plot, whilst also being close to brilliant shops and lovely walks. The beaches in the area are amazing. I would highly recommend Sparnal Stitch.

Love this gorgeous house! Immaculately presented, it was clean and homely and such a comfortable place to spend a week with our family. Itâs got a lovely kitchen where we could all eat as well as a big sitting room for us to all crash out after long walks and days on the beach. The garden is huge and very secure so ideal for kids. Location is amazing for Rock and Polzeath and easy to walk everywhere. Would 100% recommend!
