• "A Perfect Countryside Escape – 10/10 The cottage, the Hamlet, and the location were absolutely spot on for us – a solid 10/10."

  Tucked away in a peaceful little corner of the countryside, it was everything we hoped for and more. Tranquil, charming, and just the right amount of remote. The walk to the beach was a real highlight – around 30 minutes of gentle strolling through a beautiful valley, following the river at times and accompanied by birdsong and some lovely plant life. We half expected a deer to wander out and nod at us approvingly. Malcolm, our host, was there to greet us with a warm welcome, which was much appreciated after the drive. He struck the perfect balance of being helpful and friendly without ever being intrusive. The silence and fresh air were a real treat – it felt like a proper reset from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If only we could’ve captured it all in a jar and taken it home with us – sadly, that sort of magic doesn’t travel well. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Malcolm – until next time!

  (ie Mawgan Porth, Constantine Bay) Penrose is a very quiet, friendly hamlet and Malcolm is on hand to share local knowledge and help with the cottage if required.

• "We had a lovely stay at Uphill cottage, very cosy & welcoming."

  It’s situated in a very peaceful & quiet hamlet but only a short drive to the many beaches for walking or just admiring the beautiful views. We both felt very relaxed & recharged by the end of our stay in this beautiful part of Cornwall.

• "Uphill Cottage is in a very peaceful place."

  The conservatory at the front sees the sun from dawn to dusk. As it was a sunny week, that’s where we were, or out on the patch of lawn. There’s a large comfortable sitting room and a small dining room which would be cosy places to be on colder darker days. The three bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom are all a good size. An easy walk down a valley footpath to the nearest beach. Lovely place to stay.

• "The cottage was wonderfully comfortable."

  We really enjoyed our stay and we especially liked the conservatory. Penrose is super quiet and just the right place to relax. The many beaches nearby were just fantastic. The proximity to Porthcothan Bay is lovely. We liked Constantine Bay the most. You can also start some lovely walks from Uphill Cottage or the beaches. If you are looking for a quiet holiday with a beach and walks along the coast, this is the place for you.

  Breakfast in the conservatory was a particular highlight each day. M who looks after it is helpful yet not intrusive. There are many beaches within 15 minutes drive and St Merryn has all you need (2 pubs, chippy, Chinese, petrol station...) We had a great 2 weeks in spite of not the best weather, Only thing it lacks is a dishwasher- but that was not a big deal!!

  Excellent location for visiting the surrounding amazing beaches and great dog walks. The cottage was clean and well looked after. A lovely bonus is the warm south facing conservatory to enjoy the country side views and a drink or two. A hidden gem. A great peaceful place for watching the night skies, local bats and wildlife.

  We booked the cottage as a base to visit family on both the north and south coasts so it was perfect for us. An easy commute to Padstow and Wadebridge. The nearest town is St Merryn which has an excellent pub - Farmers Arms and an excellent Chinese takeaway. It is also very close to Portcothan beach which is a small inlet with a lovely beach and dog friendly. The only disappointment was that the week went by so fast.

  Set in a very pretty and peaceful hamlet it's in good reach of many destinations like Padstow, Wadebridge, Newquay etc. The last day we had a lovely walk on the footpath to the gorgeous beach at Porthcothan or you can drive there in 10 minutes. Wished we could have stayed longer as ran out of time to do all that we wanted to and it was such a lovely place to chill out. (If you'd prefer to wake up to the sound of constant noise rather than the birds chirping then this is probably not the place for you.)

  Very peaceful location and close to St Merryn for eating out. Cottage has everything you need and very cosy. There are lots of beaches close by and for a longer drive Kynance Cove is stunning. We met Malcolm the owner and who was very helpful with ideas for eating out and places to visit. Only extra’s needed would be a sharp knife and a first supply of logs etc for fire as we had a couple of very wet days and would have been nice to get the wood burner going. Malcolm kindly gave us some tomato plants and these are now planted. Would recommend.

• "Uphill was exactly what we were after for our week away."

  Found in a tiny hamlet, yet only 5-10 mins by car to lovely Mawgan Porth, the 250 yr old cottage has so much character and has a lovely feel to it. There is no phone signal but the cottage has good WiFi . Malcom was extremely welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area. The 30-40min walk down to Porthcothan through fields & woodland was a favourite with the dog and the small shop at the end provide great coffee & pastries! Recommend a visit for lunch or dinner at Catch in Mawgan Porth though you do need to book! My 13yr old daughter asked if we can come back…maybe in the winter…which is a testament to what a great time we had.

Penrose was a lovely peaceful Hamlet perfect place to relax. The local beach Porthcothan was lovely and if you enjoy walks then you can walk to it, it took us an hour but one of our children was particularly slow. we also enjoyed visiting Constantine and Treyarnon bays.

• "We had a truly lovely week here, helped by extraordinarily good weather!"

  Malcolm was very helpful and welcoming, and is on hand nearby without being at all intrusive. The cottage is delightful: three bedrooms, small sunny front garden with a picnic table and a comfortable conservatory where we spent most of the time when we were in. The rooms are all decent size and the kitchen and bathroom both fine (although the knives could have been sharper and we couldn’t find a peeler). There isn’t a dishwasher, but no problem there. Penrose is a tiny hamlet: charming but without amenities. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and we saw a peregrine falcon, bats and muntjacs among others. The footpaths aren’t brilliantly maintained so expect some slightly challenging walks. It’s a mile from the coast but not really walkable, but it’s a very short drive to a number of fabulous beaches. Portcothan is the nearest and least busy, being fairly small, and probably our favourite. The closest pubs, restaurants and shops are in St Merryn, 3 miles away. The Farmers Arms does a decent carvery and we recommend the Ivy House for a more upmarket meal. Padstow is the closest town and very busy - the boat trip made it worthwhile. Newquay is a few miles further in the other direction: a bit more tacky but fun and vibrant. But it’s the spectacular coastline in between that is the real draw, especially Bedruthan (although sadly the Steps and beach are currently closed due to rock falls). We expected to explore more of Cornwall during the week, but didn’t venture far in the end because there is so much to enjoy within a small radius. We did go to the Eden Project, which is only half an hour away. All in all excellent value, and well worth the six hour drive from Sussex! We will definitely consider returning at some point.

  It was an ideal base to walk between Padstow and Hayle on the South West Coast Path. The cottage is very homely and has a real “lived-in” feel. There’s no mobile ‘phone reception, but the WiFi works well. Malcom, the owner, lives close by and was delightful. There’s only one bathroom and toilet, so beware long soaks in the bath! It’s in a very peaceful hamlet, but there are no facilities such as a shop, pub or play park; you'll need your car to get about. We’d gladly rebook Uphill Cottage.

  It is very quiet and perfect to return to after a busy day on one of the nearby beaches. Constantine Bay is spectacular but parking was difficult there. We liked Porthcothan Bay as it isn’t too big or commercialised but the facilities are good, such as a lovely little bakery for ice creams, coffee, tea, cakes, Cornish pasties… We hired body boards there and they weren’t as expensive as at other bigger beaches. There are lovely coastal paths affording fabulous views of the magnificent rocky cliffs, sandy bays and sunsets. We even saw dolphins one evening, while watching the sun go down.

  The cottage is well equipped including a washing machine and dryer. I found the beds very comfortable which is probably a first for me away from home. The location is quiet and the views from the cottage conservatory quite spectacular, very welcome after a visit to crowded Padstow we could return to the cottage and relax in the peace and quiet. The cottage is well placed to visit many of the lovely sandy beaches and the nearest one Porthcothan is about a 15 min drive away maybe a bit longer if your nervous on the narrow lanes! It’s also dog friendly. We found the storage heaters a problem in that we wanted heat in the evening and of course they had gone cold by then so we would say a more modern form of heat the guests can control. There is a log fire but being over a certain age we had no intention of coming on holiday and cleaning that out every morning we remember what that used to entail when we had coal fires! All in all we would be happy to holiday at Uphill again and would recommend to our friends.

We're very much looking forward to a return visit later in the year. Absolutely would not hesitate in recommending a stay here - you would certainly not be disappointed.

• "Lovely cottage and very nice and accommodating owners."

  The doors are very small so watch your head! Very quaint old cottage in a lovely village and nearby lots of things to do. Had everything you need already there which was great, such as washing up liquid and hand soap. Only issue was the hoover smelt of wet dog when we used it but that's obviously because it's pet friendly so next time we will book one that isn't. Shabby chic and with good countryside views from most windows. No signal but the wifi was fast so no complaints there. The welcome book was very handy as we needed to visit a GP during our stay.
