    Ideal for me on my own with the rest of my family on holiday close by in Newquay. The location is great with peaceful walks in the immediate vicinity and easy road access to most places I remember from my many holidays in Cornwall these past 63 years. Kim and Gary are excellent hosts, nothing is too much for them to help make your stay a happy one. Thank you Kim and Gary, in the words of Arnie "I'll be back"

    Kim the owner was on hand when we arrived to give us a quick tour of the lovely warm "Snug". Beautifully presented, clean and inviting. You can tell that Kim has put in a lot of thought and effort into making our stay at The Snug one to remember. Lovely and comfortable furnishings, well equipped kitchen, great shower and even a table and chairs outside to catch the last of the sun! Great location to visit all the pretty harbours in the area and the Eden Project too which is only a few minutes down the road. We would definitely want to return to the Snug or the separate larger house next door. Thank Kim for a great stay!

    ) and suitably named! It really was a snug.. the owners were friendly and accomodating. Perfectly located, not far from Charlestown Harbour with it's great food places, views, history and relaxed atmosphere. We are getting married in July and the snug gave us a much needed getaway, a break from wedding prep and the children. Sunny morning courtyard to enjoy a quiet coffee before setting off for the day, you really could be anywhere!!

  • "Snug Cottage is exactly as it reads on the tin."

    A tad difficult to find with the final directions but I think only because we came from an opposite direction but once we passed, turned around and spotted the two garage doors it was fine. Our first impression of the cottage was great, sunshine on the seats outside and a lovely welcome from Kim. As soon as you go in you can tell it was spotless and clean. The owners have thought of everything and the attention to detail and workmanship for the renovation is excellent. We have had a lovely week there 17th - 24th July and were very lucky with the weather. It is in a great spot for getting around to all the lovely places Cornwall has to offer and is near enough walking distance to the Eden Project. Easy to get to Charlestown, St Austell, Mevagissy, Looe, Polperro, Fowey and a simple 50 min drive down to St Ives. Both Snug Cottage and The Barn (which is on the same plot) are immaculate, definitey 5 star ratings :)

    The property was beautifully decorated throughout, and had everything we needed. We were out exploring Cornwall on a daily basis and it was a lovely retreat to get back to after long days out. We went to many places, and would recommend Port Isaac, Land's End, Falmouth, (especially Pendennis Castle and the Ranch Steakhouse & Grill), St Ives, Charlestown, The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, Newquay, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Jamaica Inn for wonderful food. You can also just sit out in the courtyard and enjoy the peace and quiet or go for a walk around the lakes at the back of the property. We will be going back for another holiday so we can explore more of Cornwall.

    The location was quiet, helped considerably by perfect weather for the week. The cottage was ideal for the two of us with a fully equipped kitchen area and owners present next door. We have only one complaint - your map on your website showing location. Yours took us to Resugga Farm off Hallaze Road, not Lower Resugga Farm in Rescorla about 1/2 mile to the north on another turning off the Penwithick Road. Thank goodness for GPS and Google Maps street view.

  • "The Snug was an absolute delight."

    Well equipped, cosy and warm. Facilities were excellent. The induction hob & combi cooker were more than adequate for our needs and we cooked some lovely meals while there. The location in Rescorla, down a little lane, was discreet but within easy reach of St Austell and the many other nearby attractions. Eden, Heligan, Charlestown, Fowey are all just a short drive. We went to St Ives, just an hour away, and there is so much to see and do, with the satisfying knowledge you will return to a little sanctuary of calm when you have sated your appetite for exploration. All the major supermarkets are within easy reach so self catering is no effort. The rural setting is just gorgeous. We saw deer from our window and many varieties of birds. The owners, who live in the main house were warm, friendly and helpful, yet unobtrusive. All in all a very satisfying break and cliched it may sound, but we would happily go back. I can highly recommend this lovely little cottage.
