“If you are looking for a dog friendly quiet getaway cottage in a stunning part of the country , this place fits the bill.”

Warm , cosy , everything we needed , excellent wi fi access, but no phone signal. We were able to use the wi fi to make calls though. The owners were attentive and helpful without crowding you, little extras were much appreciated. Highly recommended and much enjoyed. Thanks.

“The cottage was lovely in a very quiet location, but in easy reach of the beaches and other attractions.”

It was well equipped with wifi, laundry facilities and cooking utensils etc. The cottage felt homely and was very comfortable. The beds were all very comfortable to sleep in. Sitting in the conservatory in the warm evening sun was a bonus too. We were 4 adults and certainly did not feel at all cramped in the cottage.

“My husband and I stayed in this lovely cosy cottage October half term with our two boys and puppy.”

We found the cottage to be everything we needed and more.. from comfortable beds to a kitchen equipped with everything we needed, we ate in most nights enjoying family meals at the dining room table and very much enjoyed the log burner of a evening a great touch for a cosy night in with a glass of wine! We have stayed in many locations across Cornwall and Found this cottage to be the best location for a family holiday to explore the beautiful beaches,countryside and The bustling Harbour town of Padstow to enjoy the delicious pasties and cakes.. a great spot for crabbing too. Overall the whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning again.

“Uphill cottage is a true Cornish Gem!”

It is an amazing cottage with everything you need for a holiday. Beds were comfy and the lounge was great to sit as a family and watch films in the evenings. The dogs had a great time too, with loads of local walks through woods and streams and onto Porthcothan beach. Malcom was helpful and full of local knowledge, which was really helpful as we didn't know the area at all. The cottage is close to great surfing beaches and cliff top walks as well as the Camel trail close by. We will be back again, and hopefully for much longer! Highly recommended.

“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.

“Wonderful xmas break”

What a lovely cottage, cannot praise this place enough. A totally home away from home. Seven beaches all within a short drive away. Nearest beach just five minutes away. Lots of mod cons in the cottage. The owners include some welcoming extras including a bottle of wine. Plenty of room for our dog. We have just booked too return next year.

“A quaint and cosy cottage in a quiet location but near to fantastic beaches”

We had a great time at Uphill Cottage. The cottage was quaint and cosy but full of mod cons to make our stay very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful, suggesting various local places to visit, giving us a welcoming bottle of wine, fresh vegetables and milk on arrival. The cottage was practical for our dog and there was room in the sunroom and utility room to keep all the walking and dog stuff. The hamlet of Penrose was quiet and restful and located only five minutes drive from Porthcothan Beach which is a truly wonderful sight on a fine day, especially when the tide is out. There were lots of places to visit nearby, including Tintagel Castle, Bodmin and Wenn Steam Railway and Padstow. I highly recommend this cottage and the surrounding area.
