"We had a wonderful holiday by the sea!"
The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and tastefully decorated. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming — we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The views were absolutely stunning, especially the sunsets, which were truly unforgettable. Everything was perfect, and we would love to come back again!

"Seagull’s Nest is very clean, very comfortable and fully equipped with plenty of homely, themed touches."
Whitsand Bay is a place of mindfulness and the beaches are some of the very best in Cornwall. You need to be prepared for the walk down and back but truly worth it.

"Superb location."
Great views, secluded and peaceful. Access to excellent sandy beaches via a fairly steep path.
The property itself is ideal. Well equipped, very comfortable, very clean and well maintained.
We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer.

"The cottage is situated on a cliff side with a spectacular view of Whitsand Bay and the surrounding area."
The cottage is cosy and beautifully decorated with all the facilities you could wish for.
However, access to the property could be a challenge for people who are less firm on their legs, as the paths are quite steep and uneven in places. Also handrails only cover the last part of the set of steps.

"Breath taking views, lovely, quiet and peaceful environment."
Beautiful accommodation and amazing hosts that make you feel more than welcomed. The seagulls nest is an absolute hidden gem. With the chance to see dolphins while eating your breakfast looking over the beautiful cove, then star gazing at night spotting shooting stars in the less polluted country sky. An amazing experience to be had! If you make it down to the beach below again you will be taken back by the sparkling blue sea and beautiful sand that stretches around the cove.

A fantastic chalet in the most incredible peaceful location. The chalet was clean and very comfortable with everything we needed. The views were outstanding and the steep walk to the most spectacular beach (EVER!) is 100% worth it.

"Fabulous chalet in amazing location overlooking the sea."
Very comfortable with everything thought of and provided for. Come prepared with your luggage in easily transportable bags, which makes the walk to the chalet much easier. Access to beach down steep steps but worth it, good for surfing, with lifeguards along the bay. Don't expect much of Eddyson's cafe on the beach but the Cliff Top cafe is well worth a visit for breakfast and lunch! Cawsands is a more sheltered beach and better for swimming and paddleboarding, and the best place to take a ferry to Plymouth.

The accommodation was it ok but I would say the interior looked a little dated and smaller than what the pictures show, the access to the property probably could of been described better as it is difficult to get to with suitcases etc, having said these had a lovely stay and these were the only minor points…

"Seagull's nest is a hidden gem on the cliff top."
The property is well looked after and is furnished to a high standard. It has everything you need; the shortcut to the beach was particularly handy, as were the body boards in the shed (we used these instead of ours because they were better than the ones we brought with us!). The washer was also a welcome treat.
One thing we noticed was that there have been some improvements to the property which aren't shown on the pictures (such as the steel hand rail) and it would be worthwhile perhaps updating these on the website. The other thing that would be helpful is directions from the cliff path as we went past the chalet a couple of times before we found it.
No complaints, we would definitely recommend!
Thanks for a great week.

The view of the sunsets from the window seat is an image i will carry with me for years. Every aspect of a guests needs have been thought through and there isn't anything I could say Steve and Paula haven't thought of in order to make it a comfortable stay. This was my four year old daughters first staycation and she still talks about her walks up and down to the beach from 'Steve's house' :)

We enjoyed sunshine and storms and stunning sunsets, all from the comfort of the sofa! It was also wonderful to be able to walk from the door following the coast path to Rame Head and Mount Edgcumbe. It took a few trips to carry all our luggage and food down the cliff path from the parking area, but well worth it to stay in an exiting and memorable location.

Views are amazing, and it is a haven of peace and quiet. My wife organises a trip for me every year with Helpful Holidays/Sykes Cottages as she finds them really helpful and informative. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

I have nothing but praise for this holiday company and they never disappoint!

"Hi seagulls nest was a lovely clean well catered chalet however the access to it was a bit much for my 81 year old mum unfortunately."
Something I did question at time of booking! There are about 30 steps down to the cafe from the road and then a bit of a walk down hill, then across passed some chalets then more steps (some without rails) to the chalet, steps are also quite high. Also there are no signs for it nor is the chalet named, I think you need to stress this in the details. The actual chalet was exceptional well equipped and clean with good use of space.
