“The cottage and location were exactly what we were looking for and in need of - plenty of walking and the beach nearby.”

The nearby farm and it`s daily workings were a joy to watch and a chat with the farmer was fun and informative. Our dog also had plenty to do and see on the local walks! We found sitting in the conservatory and resting after a long walk most relaxing and enjoyable. Suggestions: don`t change anything it is near perfect! Thank you Malcolm (owner) for ensuring everything was in good order and that we had all we needed. Will we return? - certainly, and at the next opportunity to `get away` for a break.

“Lovely traditional and comfortable cottage, full of character in pretty, peaceful and rural village.”

Friendly and helpful host. Loved the sunny little garden watching village life go by, slowly. Not far from several beaches and close to Padstow. Also lots of great restaurants and places to eat (with outdoor space) within a short drive. Would go back in a heartbeat.

“We stayed at Uphill Cottage for a week at Easter and it was just perfect for our family of five.”

Its a beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed - a real home away from home. The village (hamlet really) is a really lovely location, quiet and peaceful with a beautiful walk, about a mile, down to the nearest beach, through fields and alongside a small river. We'd not explored this part of Cornwall before, but it has some incredible beaches and fantastic coastal walks, plus the Camel Trail is also not far. We would recommend to anyone, and would love to go back!

“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.

“We had the loveliest holiday at uphill cottage.”

Such a gorgeous homely cottage with everything we needed and more. Truly a home from home so cosy with the lovely fire on when we had a couple of dull bad weather days but was lovely to be tucked up all cosy. Malcolm was so welcoming and so helpful with all his local knowledge and was so kind to bring us a lovely bottle of wine and homegrown tomatoes. Such a beautiful village and lovely walks right from the cottage through woods and streams to the local beach. The people in the village were so friendly and always said good morning and hello even the lovely collie dog from the farm would come and say hello.. we will definitely be back

“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.

“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.

- Rosthewino, January 2017

“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.
