  • "Great find, tucked away position but plenty if local amenities in Illogan and just 2 miles into Redruth for Tesco etc."

    Portreath just down the road. Spotless (including the fridge and oven), the towels smelt amazing, and some lovely goodies on arrival. Lovely private enclosed courtyard with bistro set and pretty string lights. We throughly enjoyed the hot tub, the weather was against us so was very grateful for the canopy. Can't recommend enough, will certainly return

    Hot tub was amazing, Dale even came in and topped up chlorine to make sure it stayed clean for our extended stay. All the facilities you’d need in a very quiet and cozy area. Little Co-op round the corner too to top up with essentials. Definitely recommend.

  • "Carn brea was a fantastic little romantic place for us to stay!"

    Perfectly situated , fairly centrally located, thus perfect base to go explore Cornwall from an it’s glorious beaches and coastal walks. We arrived slightly later than planned but this did not phase Dale at all. Dale waited patiently on the drive as it was dark and helped us find Carn brea. On arrival we received a warm greeting an Dale showed us around a got the opportunity to show us the Garden all light up an the fantastic hot tub. Carn brea is a wonderfully well presented annex. In a very quite secluded spot. It has all the amenities you could want very clean modern and well thought out ! The private garden is immaculately kept with bbq fire pit. Outside shower for before an after use off the hot tub and has hot a cold running water a nice touch. The hot tub which Dale took time to show us how it works. If you do a lot of walking either with the dogs like we did or with your partner. The hot tub is a perfect way to relax a soothe any aching muscles, either with a glass of wine or bubbles, trust me they will ache as there’s some tidy ascents a descents on the coastal walks. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here ! Carn brea felt like a home away from home to us. Well done Dale and Mel you’ve done a fantastic job ! Amanda myself and the boys Bruno and Bertie, will definitely be back

    Thank you for the lovely feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. It was really nice to meet you and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Dale & Mel Property Owner

    Nothing to do in the immediate area, so the hot tub and nice outside space were welcome. Owners provided all essentials and even gifted some prosecco and a card for my birthday.

    Thank you for your feedback. Our guests often comment on the location of Carn Brea for ease of travel to some beautiful Cornish attractions and beaches. We have updated our welcome pack to include a few recommended local restaurants and pubs and other things to do near our village also. Dale & Mel Property Owner

  • "From the moment we arrived at Carn Brea we knew we had chosen the most perfect place to stay."

    From how beautiful the garden is to the most perfect indoors with everything we needed for a few days away. Dale and Mel have thought of everything when it comes to comfort and accessibility. With so many extra little touches to make the stay even more special. We were blessed with great weather but even on the 1 rainy day we made most of the hot tub and firepit. The bed was so comfy, no noise from surrounding area so every night was a great night sleep. Kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook from home. We had 2 dogs with us and they settled straight in. Normally anxious with new places but they felt straight at home too. Honestly we could write for hours on how special our stay was. We met our hosts on arrival and received a very warm welcome, gave us a good idea on the surrounding area and which places/beaches might be best for the dogs etc. Nothing was too much to ask (not that we needed to ask for much at all) From Dave and Emily and the doggo's a big thank you to Dale and Mel and we will be back again.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we are so glad you had a lovely stay and we hope to see you all again soon! Property Owner
