“Lovely old cottage in a peaceful little village just a couple of miles from the coast.”

An excellent base to tour the area with Newquay, Padstow and Wadebridge just a short drive away. We visited a different beach most days, including Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Constantine, Mawgan Porth, and Harlyn. Thankfully we were blessed with good weather. Our host was very attentive and helpful suggesting places to eat and visit.

“We had a great holiday and the cottage was lovely.”

Had a lovely welcome from Malcolm who gave us loads of information on all the good places to go. The flowers on arrival were beautiful and it was so relaxing. Would definitely visit again! The wild life and local beaches were fabulous and the cottage was just how I imagined it would be. I would recommend a stay here to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and chilled out vacation.

“The cottage had everything in it that we needed for an enjoyable stay.”

Malcolm our host made us very welcome and gave us useful local information. An ideal base for visiting the glorious local coastline or going further afield. We hope to be back!

“We had a wonderful week at Uphill Cottage, a delightful cottage in a very pretty little hamlet.”

From the moment we arrived we felt at home, Malcolm popped across to greet us and make sure we had everything we needed, which we did. Penrose is so close to beautiful beaches and countryside and only a few minutes by car from Padstow. The cottage has a very safe little garden for a dog, our little dog enjoyed his week as much as his humans. We would recommend Uphill Cottage to anyone who needs to get away and chill out, but also only minutes away from decent pubs and restaurants. We would most definitely return.

“Uphill cottage is in a pretty friendly village.”

The cottage has a lovely conservory which was tranquil with views .and not having been well, this was a great place to relax ,watch the birds and the gentle movements of country village life. The cottage was equipped with everything needed, with lovely pictures and ornaments around making it very homely. All the furnishings were very comfortable,I slept so well due to such a comfy bed.The log burning fire was wonderful on our first nights whilst the weather was cooler. We had both extremes as the weather got to the 25s. How lucky were we. I cannot fault or could have wished for anything more from uphill. Malcolm our host was fantastic with a gift of wine and flowers to welcome us.He was extremely helpful without being intrusive . Beautiful beaches nearby , Padstow just a couple of miles away. The cottage was central to everywhere we wished to visit. I highly recommend Uphill cottage with its quirky homely feel. We hope to return soon, to make more lovely memories.

“What a superb find.”

.a holiday cottage that's characterful and quirky. We loved it! And dog friendly too...something that's high on our list of priorities. We recommend Uphill Cottage very highly indeed. Uphill Cottage is in such a wonderful location...so peaceful, friendly locals, excellent host, lovely beaches within a short drive.The cottage had such a welcoming appeal and was full of character. Really cosy with or without the log stove, but we did have a log fire each evening! We didn't want for anything. The area has a lot to offer too with the harbour at Padstow and its ferry to Rock. If you like a nice flat walk then the Camel Trail from Padstow to Wadebridge is for you Thank you to Malcolm our host. We know where to come when we next holiday on North Cornwall! love Jacqui, Steve and Magik the hound

- Mr Wedgwood, September 2018
“The cottage perfect for our needs, very comfortable and homely, with everything we could have wanted provided.”
