Our getaway from it all.

We had a lovely restful holiday at Glen Valley Cottage. We had everything there to meet our needs and we were able to go back at the end of the day and put our feet up and relax. There are lots of places to see some close and some further afield but never too long a drive. The fantastic weather we had was the icing on the cake. We would happily recommend Glen Valley Cottage.

Very nice place

Lovely and cozy cottage with a beautiful garden. Perfectly located. Eventhough most of the time it wasn't beach weather, there were lots of beautiful places to visit (Minack Theater, St Nectans Glen Waterfall, Port Isaac, Prideaux). As soon as it was sunny the rock beach, particulary for dogs, was the place to go. Also did the sea Safari and saw dolphins. If your looking for a great place to have breakfast: Chapel Cafe, Port Isaac To watch the sunset while eating you should go to the beach hut.

Home from Home

Just returned from a lovely stay at Glen Valley Cottage. From the minute we entered we felt at home. Beautifully clean and comfortable. Jackie (caretaker) had done a great job with cleanliness. Karla sent a lovely email a few days before we arrived which was informative yet also personal and friendly (thank you Karla). Beautiful grounds to look out on, only a very short track from the main road so no problems and a great place for exploring. Totally recommend and will be top of my list next time we are down in Cornwall.

Fabulous cottage, wonderful holiday !

We had a very happy New Year break in this lovely, well presented cottage. The cottage is clean, tastefully decorated, very comfortable and well equipped. There is ample space for car parking and it is set in a scenic, peaceful location. A car is highly desirable to assist access the nearest shops and facilities. This cottage is ideally situated for visits to nearby Rock, Padstow and Wadebridge and cycle hire is available on the nearby Camel Trail. Just a reminder....don’t forget to take your own towels and if you need assistance, Jackie, the caretaker is easy to contact and is extremely helpful. We had a very happy holiday, thank you !

The property is in a quiet and peaceful location. It's a great base for exploring the area, but you will need a car. It is a 5 min drive from Rock where there's a shop, bakery, pub, takeaway pizza, small brewery, and fish and chips. The property has been nicely renovated. Everything has been thought of to make your stay comfortable. There's a hosepipe at the back which is great for cleaning up after a day at the beach. There's a storage chest full of buckets and spaces, body boards, outdoor games etc which my children loved. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you'd need. There isn't a dishwasher but there is a washing machine, which we found really useful. We also appreciated all the storage in the bedrooms for clothes, which can sometimes be lacking in holiday lets. Karla was very quick to respond to any questions.We recommend this cottage if you are looking for a peaceful, comfortable base to explore the local area.

Der Urlaub im Glen Valley Cottage war sehr schön! Die Unterkunft ist nahezu perfekt ausgestattet (uns fehlte nur das Stövchen für die Teekanne ) und das Cottage ganz toll. Der Check-In war mit dem Schlüsseltresor unkompliziert und flexibel erledigt, das WLAN hat zuverlässig funktioniert. Wir haben es geliebt, bei offenen Terrassentüren zu essen und ins Grüne zu schauen. Die Kinder konnten jederzeit draußen spielen und der Hund konnte ebenfalls ohne Bedenken in den Garten. Generell waren die Menschen in Cornwall sehr herzlich und mehr als hundefreundlich, sie konnte überall mit und es gab vorher ausreichend Informationen darüber. Das war unser 3. Urlaub in England, wir lieben es und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!Danke Karla für den schönen Urlaub bei euch! Familie Heinicke aus Leipzig
