  • "Mini Mena was a lovely comfortable clean cottage with everything you would need for a stay and a good base for visiting other places in Cornwall."

    The only thing I didn't like was the parking there was ample room but on quite a busy road so reversing in or out was sometimes a problem but other people might find it easier. Tracy and Richard were lovely and were there if we needed anything. the

    Thank you very much for your kind review. Yes, the road can be quite busy during the peak seasons with lots of holidaymakers in town. Hopefully it did not affect your stay too much Property Owner

  • "Great host and stay."

    Convenient location for exploring Cornwall by car.

  • "The Mini Mena was a small, homely, and delightfully pink place to stay, conveniently situated between everywhere you might want to visit in Cornwall."

    Being only 15 minutes from the train station and near the bus stop on White River, we found travel from one place to another incredibly easy. We were greeted with a warm welcome and a curated gift basket of local goods - a lager, an IPA, a bottle of Chardonnay, a box of Cornish shortbread, and Tesco's finest buttery scones accompanied by two small jam jars and clotted cream - which has left us cripplingly addicted to Cornish dairy. The hostess, Tracy, was helpful and always a text away from help - she offered some delightful recommendations of local restaurants. Moreover, all amenities provided (pots, pans, cutlery, etc.) were well maintained - if we had forgotten it, the Mini Mena had it. Other worthy points of note included the sony DVD player alongside a sizeable collection of DVDs, a radio, and table for a relaxing night in.

    Kaffekapseln ,Kaffee ,Tee ,Zucker sowie Salz und Pfeffer vorhanden. Gastgeber Tracy und Richard waren sehr hilfsbereit, am Ankunftstag hatte ich Probleme die Safetybox zu oeffnen,eine Minute nachdem ich Tracy geschrieben habe,hat sie geschrieben dass ihr Mann mir mit dem Aufschließen hilft. Sie hat immer wieder geschrieben ob alles in Ordnung ist, dass ich ihr nur kurz zu schreiben braeuchte falls ich neue Handtücher brauche oder eine Frage haette. In der Wohnung lagen Flyer bereit ueber die verschiedenen Doerfer u.s.w. Tracy gab Tips was es nahe am Mini Meena zu besichtigen gibt.

  • "A fantastic property which was beautifully presented and clearly very cared for by Tracy, our host."

    Our two labradors were made to feel genuinely welcome and enjoyed the almost immediate access to the Clay Trails and the miles and miles of wandering off lead the trails offer. the welcome basket was a lovely touch and not expected at all. Our host Tracy was very attentive to any requests we had. Parking was right at the door. Would definitely come back.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was so lovely to meet you both and your gorgeous dogs. So glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back again any time. Property Owner

Step into the open‑plan living space where cooking, dining, and downtime flow together, making simple suppers and unhurried evenings straightforward.

The kitchen comes prepared for self‑catering with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, kettle, and toaster, while a washing machine is on hand for longer stays.

After days out, settle in the sitting area for a film on the TV or plan tomorrow’s wander with WiFi to guide you. The double bedroom which can be found on the first floor offers a calm base to unpack and organise your things, served by an en‑suite with a walk‑in shower and WC.

With central heating keeping the annex welcoming year‑round and off‑road parking for one car, arrivals and daily outings are kept simple.

Two pets are also welcome, so no one has to miss the trip. When it’s time to explore, St Austell places you near headline days at the Eden Project, along with time among the greenery at Pineturn Gardens.

ST AUSTELL

Fowey 8 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles.

Sitting peacefully in the beautiful county of Cornwall just a mile from the south coast with its numerous sheltered, sandy, beaches, you will find the historic market town of St Austell. Filled with a range of pubs and bars, and scrumptious local eateries, St Austell has a train station on the mainline connecting you easily to Truro and on down to Penzance. Newquay can also be reached by train via a quick change at nearby Par. St Austell’s central location in Cornwall provides the perfect setting for your next holiday to the Southwest. Spend your days on exciting outings to such attractions as The Eden Project or the nearby historical port of Charlestown, where you can see artefacts recovered from local shipwrecks at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. Head to Porthpean Beach for a tranquil walk along the soft sands or hire a kayak for a paddle in the calm, crystal clear waters, before pampering yourself at The Clearing Spa or enjoying a quick nine holes at St Austell Golf Club. Grab some fresh ingredients from the local supermarket on your way back to your holiday home for an evening of wining and dining indoors. St Austell is the ultimate setting for a fabulous coastal getaway.
