Lovely well equipped and clean cottage. Lots of little homely extras to ensure a great holiday. Of course the hot tub is a real bonus. Not really a sea view but very nice of rolling Cornish countryside and we saw deer, owls and pheasants from the terrace. Wouldn’t recommend the driveway unless you are confident reversing your car as it’s narrow and a bit awkward but in any case you need to be able to reverse easily down the narrow single track roads surrounding the house. Luckily not a problem for our driver.

Christmas at Hillside

What can I say! My family and I had the most wonderful Christmas staying at this beautiful cottage! It was over and above our expectations! I knew from the start when liaising with Katie (the owner), that this would be the case! Nothing was too much trouble, replying very promptly to my questions and supplying us with plenty of information and suggestions of activities to do during our stay! Would we like a Christmas tree putting up? Yes please was my reply! I was wondering how I was going to fit that in the car! This made it extra special for me as it is my daughters birthday Christmas Day! The tree was fabulous! The housekeeper (Helen) called me a couple of days before we left to talk everything through and ask if I had any questions.

The cottage is beautifully kept and is a 'home from home' it honestly felt as though for seven days it really was ours!

On arrival there were homemade mince pies and cornish clotted cream, lovely together! Milk in the fridge too!

I paid extra for the hot tub! A must! A lovely extra Christmas present for us all! It was used everyday! Christmas Day it was particularly inviting after the Christmas Day Swim at Polzeath. I can thoroughly recommend the swim too! If your mad enough!

In a nutshell you will want for nothing at Hillside! Everything and more is there! So well equipped, lovely decor, a real home!

I don't want to say too much more because I want to be able to rebook in the future!

A gem of a property on the North Cornwall Coast! So glad we did something different for Christmas!

Thank you to both Katie and Helen for everything!

Situated close to four fabulous sandy beaches on Cornwall’s north coast, Hillside is a great holiday home with ample house space for a relaxing UK break in the sun. The area is full of things to do and has easy access to beaches, surfing, golf, paddle, tennis, walking , cycling and running. Nearby there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and coffeehouses. We have stayed in this area many times over the last twenty years and Hillside is one of our best finds. The hot tub is a great bonus situated on a well positioned patio overlooking fields and the sunset. A quiet retreat by one of the best UK seasides.

We’ve just come back from a wonderful stay at Hillside. It was mid November and as you can imagine the seas were wild and beautiful with crashing waves over Booby’s Bay and Constantine and the foam flying high over Treyarnon.
Hillside gave us a warm and cozy home away from home. We headed out in the mornings to walk along the beaches and even inland to St Neots (a bit less blowing a gale!). The Friday we had an amazing lunch in Padstow at that place(!) but mostly we cooked in the house, enjoying the chance to socialise in comfort.
The hot tub was also a brilliant call, even sitting immersed in the heat up to our necks with woolly hats on.
Saturday was a bright sunny day and we did a good long walk over to Harlyn Bay via Mother Ivy’s. As we walked passed Windhover House a female kestrel hovering overhead alighted on a nearby fence post. On our way back to the house we popped in to the youth hostel for a local cider and chips.
Hillside is in such a beautiful part of Cornwall with fantastic walks right on the doorstep and the ever gorgeous Treyarnon Bay a short walk away.
Thank you Katie and Co for making such as special place available.

We spent a few days at Hillside in early December including a visit to the Padstow Food Festival. The accommodation is charming and very tastefully furnished with a real feel of coastal holiday . The house is very well equipped with a a kitchen that makes one want to cook. The nearby walks to the coast are wonderful as are the longer coastal forays and the views are splendid. We would highly recommend Hillside for a family or group of friends. The bonus is the hot tub which was the venue for much idle tale telling. We loved it and would definitely highly recommend it to friends and family.

Wonderful peaceful location. Short stroll to beach. Very well equipped cottage. Kept in excellent condition. Beds very comfortable. Plenty of internal space. Many excellent restaurants locally and farm shops. Suitable for people with children and dogs. Lots of lovely cliff walks. Excellent communication from owner. Katie very easy to deal with. Would definitely love to return

Located near four sandy beaches, this spacious holiday cottage is an ideal base for a relaxing break. Four good sized bedrooms, a hot tub, garden with patio and its quiet location are a fantastic combination for both families and celebration getaways. Those wanting to be active can chose from many nearby activities; paddle, golf, surfing, walking, and many more. Adjacent village of St Myrren has multiple restaurants and pubs for those nights out. What a lovely cottage in a beautiful place. Enjoy!

Was due to stay here in July 2020, but due to Covid restrictions, as a family, we had to postpone. Katie was so understanding and carried our deposit over to the following year. It was so worth the wait. The house and location are absolutely stunning, spacious, and well stocked. The amazing cake was waiting for our arrival, the well proportioned bedrooms (no one was disappointed) and the bonus of the hot tub! Sitting watching the sun go down, in the hot tub, after a day at the local beach, with the added experience of an owl flying around the meadow next to the garden! Bliss! What's not to love and would return in a heartbeat.

A group of friends stayed at this lovely home in early December 2022. The house is spacious and fully equipped. Well looked after and very welcoming. The location is excellent for walking from the front door ( 10 minutes to the sea and a fabulous bay) and for driving to local places. Hope to stay again!

We have had several wonderful holidays at Hillside and love the location and comfort of the house. Every detail has been thought of and it has always been immaculately clean. The house lends itself to groups of friends or an extended family enjoying time together as there is plenty of space. If you really enjoy good walks, great restaurants and beautiful beaches, this is an ideal location!
