We found Willow Cottage to be very well equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The outside space although quite small provided a secure space for our dog and the off road parking was a bonus.

This was the second time we've stayed at Willow Cottage and once again found it very comfortable and clean. There is everything there that you could need whilst away. It is in a convenient location for exploring north Cornwall and the south coast with St Austell only 40 minutes away. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Willow Cottage is a beautiful Cornish retreat where much thought and care has been put into making it a wonderful home from home experience. Fantastic location in the gorgeous village of St Merryn which offers a fabulous bakery, friendly pubs and all the amenities you could wish for. The accommodation is faultless and offers everything you need forRead more a happy holiday. Well equipped large kitchen, cosy living room, log burner and tasteful decor, super comfortable bed and perfect secure, dog friendly garden. Off road parking to the side of the cottage was ideal and plenty big enough for our large estate car. Thoughtful welcome pack was much appreciated too. Willow Cottage is perfectly situated for visiting anywhere in Cornwall, our favourite beaches were Padstow, Morgan Pawth and Perrenporth, only a short drive away. Our only regret was that we didnt book for 2 weeks!!! Hide

Willow Cottage is exactly the type of holiday home I love. A tradition white pebble-dash Villa style cottage , modernised in every way inside, and a pretty little garden that makes the most of the sun no matter what the time of day. It was so clean and welcoming, both when we arrived and at the end of every sightseeing day. This visit we went to Read moreBoscastle, Bude, Constantine Bay, Port Isaac, St Mawes, and Padstow by bus for a Rick Steins Fish and Chips lunch in his shop. Malcolm Barnecautts - the Bakery 500 yds down the road from Willow Cottage is just wonderful - for Pasties, cakes, bread and mixed-choice Salad bowls from the take away salad bar , fresh every day. Their jam doughnuts are heavenly. The Farmers Arms at the crossroads in St Merryn is convivial and serves good food. Approachable, friendly and caring owners at Willow Cottage. What more can I add?

A very well designed and appointed property. Close proximity to over ten beaches from 1 mile to ten miles distance away as well as the "busy" towns of Padstow and Newquay if so inclined. We have stayed in many properties over decades and this ranks highly amongst them.

A thoughtful welcome pack.....including your dog if you have one. Hide
