  • "We stayed next door at Heatherdale last year which was fabulous, and Heightly House did not disappoint."

    Beautifully presented, clean with everything you could need for your stay. The area is beautiful, and it’s a great place for exploring the area.

  • "Lovely spacious house with lovely views."

    Very well equipped house. The only thing I could suggest is a settee in lounge could be replaced as you do sink in them. The double bed is a bit soft for us but the is our personal preference. Garden well maintained We had a great holiday and know the beautiful area well.

  • "Beautiful house and location, great views."

    Great communication. Worked out fine with baby but best to leave pram in the car boot out back. Lots of walks nearby, good friendly pub down the hill and at the beach - Tintagel a 20-25 min walk or 3 min drive for shops and food etc.

  • "The house is lovely and very welcoming with flowers and extras like milk on arrival and tea and coffee/welcoming lollies - felt very friendly."

    Plenty of space with large bedrooms and the extra toilet is very handy. Lovely garden space and a good space for our dog - with dog biscuits and bits and pieces for her too. A beautiful part of the country. I’d definitely recommend.

  • "The house was lovely, well appointed and beautifully clean and we enjoyed our stay very much."

    However it would have been useful to know two things in advance, just how steep the access is, both front and back, and how very many things were provided. We duplicated a lot by bringing cleaning materials, shampoo, kitchen paper etc.

  • "We enjoyed a relaxing holiday, with many beautiful walks by the sea and amongst lovely wild flowers wherever we went."

    Being close to Tintagel was handy and about a 30 minute walk for us. The house was beautifully equipped and very cosy, with a pretty but steep garden which led to a private parking space at the back of the house. We loved being there - thank you.

  • "Once again, an amazing stay at Heightley House."

    The views, the cleanliness, the comfort and facilities at the house are the reasons we come back year after year. The views are just the best, and we love Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel. Thank you once again for a lovely stay, and thanks also to Rainbow for all of her hard work.

  • "Fantastic holiday in a comfortable well equipped house which catered for all we needed and with breathtaking views."

    3 very large bedrooms 1 king size and 2 twin rooms a fantastic log burner in the lounge and a large functional kitchen and dining area. The property is a little tired in places and could benefit from some modernisation, but very comfortable and full of Cornish charm. Views are stunning over the valley into Trebarwith. The owners have thought of everything when making this property available as a holiday let as it is so well equipped. Towels, linen, toilet rolls, cookware, cutlery, glasses, white good availability, logs for the fire plus all the outside furniture, bbq facilities for the summer period.

  • "Really nice house with plenty of space to spread out and relax."

    There is an ironing board and tea towels even though we were informed there wasnt. Utensils in the draw and oven trays dirty/oily but a quick run through the dishwasher or wash up in the sink sorted that. Rooms tidy and had been hoovered around the main floor areas only, although maybe could do with the bag emptying as not sure how much it picked up. The kitchen appliances are top notch and very convenient so a real home from home to run a quick wash during your stay so maybe you dont have to pack so much and you could travel lighter. Some parking at the front but tight against the wall, traffic can whizz by a bit. However very adequate parking off the back road, enough for our Sorrento. The better way into Treknow is off the Tintagel road at the top of the village, rather than running the gauntlet up the hill from the Mill pub & restaurant. Very little passing and the main one half way up the hill has a massive pothole which could cause your car serious damage or you might not get out of. Location great with a beautiful view of Trebarwith Strand. Bit of a hike down across the fields and back but well worth it and you should definitely go home fitter than when you started. Tide information brilliant and the beach at Trebarwith when the tide is out is something to behold. Fab. Also swimming at high tide possible with care getting in down through the rocks and just being sensible. The Royal William pub there is also fab. Reasonably priced and just a general nice atmosphere and great food and drink. The seafood sharing platter and Cornish Guinness (Mena Dhu) was fantastic. We travelled out to Port Issac where they shoot Doc Martin - pretty but a bit whiffy. Padstow to dine at Rick Steins - nice but pricey and better food at The Royal William to be honest. Tintagel Castle, Backways Cove, along the coastal path - stunning. Convenience stores local in Tintagel limited, so maybe plan a supermarket delivery, depending on your stay. Or may be trip out to the Seaview farm shop - fantastic meat - burgers, sausages, bacon, steak etc.. Costs a bomb but delicious. Would highly recommend and return.

    Holiday breakfast fried eggs with bacon are a must-have! We wanted for nothing from the property. The walk down to the sea was simple enough - perhaps make this better known in the cottage info (unless I missed it) and would certainly advocate walking up to the coast path and watch the sun set on the horizon over the sea. Simply amazing.

    It was very well equipped,very clean and comfortable. The whole house was warm and welcoming the background heating and hot towel rail in the bathroom was much appreciated.I can't say anything was missing on the equipment front even Bonnie our Border Terrier was well catered for. The shower was wonderful, towels luxurious and the beds very comfortable.Even the neighbours were very friendly. We enjoyed the food at the Millhouse Inn and the Port William. We also visited all our usual haunts Padstow, Polzeath,Tintagel etc etc all within easy reach of the house. The peace and quiet of the houses position was much appreciated and the views were magnificent. Even the weather was kind to us. All in all a most wonderful relaxing holiday. I would love to know more of the history of the house it's origins,who it was built for ec Thank you Regards Maggie ,

  • "Lovely house, warm and comfortable."

    Well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Few minutes walk down a foot path to beach, there are a couple of stiles to climb over but our 3 year managed it easily. The beach is sandy with lots of rock pools and a couple of caves. Great for children and good body boarding/surfing opportunities, but tide dependant. Lots of things to do around and about for trips.

    The house had everything we needed. It was clean and tidy, plenty of towels. Our teenage son loved the bedroom on the top floor, as it had a tv so he could play on his xbox in the evening. We were able to do lots of walking with our dog and loved the Port William pub. We walked into Tintagel a few times from the house, its not far and took around 20 minutes.

TREKNOW

Boscastle 4.9 miles; Padstow 19.9 miles

This small village and civil parish lies on the north coast of Cornwall in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, some four miles north-west of Camelford. It boasts a slate quarrying history and was also once home to a small copper mine in the latter years of the 18th century. It has a village hall and small hotel, yet there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area, which is dominated by glistening waters, rocky coves and spectacular scenery each way you turn. Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthur’s Castle, is merely a stone's throw away, a popular but not overcrowded tourist destination. Several beaches, including nearby Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove, are within easy reach and surfing is the main attraction for those who love the water. It is littered with pubs and restaurants and the Old Post Office (National Trust) is a must for any visitor. The South West Coast Path passes through the village and in both directions, it winds its way along the cliffs, down to the water’s edge through dramatic countryside. Head north along the path and in 2.5 miles is the pretty village of Boscastle with its narrow valley leading down towards the raging sea. Further afield are the surfing meccas of Newquay and Bude. The vast landscapes of Bodmin Moor, the largest indoor rainforest at the Eden Project and the Camel Estuary are all within a 40-minute drive, plus the colourful harbour at Padstow beckons with traditional pubs and delicious seafood.
