  Great property + great location = great holiday.

  The three adults plus two small dogs in our party all have a great time here. Seaview was spotlessly clean on our arrival and had some nice personalised touches that we appreciated. We found the kitchen/dining area a little "compact" but it wasn't a problem as we worked around this easily enough and anyway, it was more than compensated for by the large and comfortable lounge. The bedrooms were well furnished, comfortable and had a good storage space. Worth mentioning that the kitchen was particularly well equipped with all manner of pots, pans, casseroles, knives, dishes etc. There were even two different kinds of vegetable peeler! The nominated parking spaces were a bonus too. Located at the end of a private road, Seaview was quiet yet had amazing panoramic views of the sea that were captivating whether sunny or stormy. It's 50m above sea level so there's a bit of a climb back up from Coverack itself or the small (and almost private) Porthbeer Cove with its mixture rocky/sandy beach. Its only 700m (not the mile quoted in the Sykes listing) by footpath to the lovely Coverack harbour with the excellent (if somewhat pricey) Lifeboat chippie and Paris Hotel. Good coast path walks in both directions right from the door. We toured the area a bit. We enjoyed Loe Bar and Porthleven in rough weather – these can be accessed from car parks in the north of Loe Bar or the NT Penrose Estate. The Spingo beer at the Blue Anchor in Helston was as good as I remember it from 40 years ago and the walk around Lizard Point excellent and sparsely populated once you got 200m from the car parks! Note that Seaview's location is nowhere near that indicated on the Sykes mapping. Exceeded expectations.

  We had a wonderful stay at Penhaven and would highly recommend it as a base.

  It's very cosy, well equipped and in a great location- close to the beach, harbour and coast walks, right opposite the village store and a short walk to the always welcoming Paris pub. We were in Coverack with our 2 children for the 90th birthday party of a local family member at the beginning of January and we all loved seeing the colourful Christmas lights along the front, very festive! Things which would have been helpful - a hatchet/small axe for splitting firewood. Some of the logs were too big to be useful. We ended up borrowing one. - instructions for the Sky box, we couldn't work out how to use it! (We had our own devices, so wasn't a problem) - the kitchen table is very wobbly! We tried to stabilise it but couldn't. (also the chairs are extremely heavy - some people might struggle to lift them) - the oven could do with a clean. There was a strong greasy smell when it was turned on (possibly it was used to make a big Christmas dinner the week before?!) Anyway, all minor details - essentially it's a very lovely, comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you!

  What a lovely place to stay.

  The cottage was clean, well stocked with all the equipment we might need both in the kitchen and living room where there was a selection of books, games and dvds alongside lots of tourist information leaflets. I spent a lot of time enjoying the view from the front bedroom out to sea. The cottage is set in a beautiful background with well maintained gardens around it and lots to explore. The nearby sculpture park is a nice easy stroll away, free to go around and dog friendly. We spent a lot of time walking along the coastal path exploring, swimming in the sea and watching seals on the rocks. There is a beach at low tide only 10 minutes walk away. Coverack is a beautiful village with a large dog friendly beach, good essential food shop, cafe, pub, chippy and restaurants. This is a good place to stay with lots nearby to do and also lots a short drive away. We felt very welcomed as soon as we arrived with the gift of some lovely cookies a pack of playing cards and a beautiful local card with a message on it left by the owners. Definitely will be going back. Loved every minute there.

  We discovered Coverack the previous year and were keen to return to this quaint part of Cornwall. The house is situated on the coastal path with stunning views of the sea and surrounded by lush vegetation. The private decking area in front of the house is an absolute gem: a riot of flowers, the sound of waves lapping and seagulls swooping above and below, a wonderful place to soak up the sun or have a lively family meal. The house itself is extremely comfortable and imaginatively furnished with every amenity a guest could possibly want whilst the views from almost every window are stunning. The village shop has absolutely everything and the Paris Inn served an excellent birthday meal for our eldest son. The paddle boarding was great and the park not only perfect for little ones but with the most amazing vista. If you want a sandy beach keep an eye on low tide times and parking isn't a problem if you arrive early or late. I cannot recommend both the house and Cornwall Hideaways highly enough.

  What a lovely house!

  The views are stunning and the grounds around the complex are worth exploring. My sister-in-law loved the view from her front bedroom window with the passing boats and ships. Our six year old grandson loved taking me around the little paths. The kitchen is very well equipped although I could have done with a roasting pan! Managed fine with what was available. Thank you to Rachel and Sean for the welcome card and delicious biscuits. Although my sister-in-law is somewhat arthritic she managed the stairs ok, thanks the handrail and the bannister, albeit slowly. We loved having the beach just a short walk away and our grandson couldn't wait to go down to jump the waves! It's a nice walk to Coverack along the coast path and we saw some of the Regatta events. Good Fish 'n chip shop in Coverack too! We would definitely recommend Seaview for a relaxing or active seaside holiday whatever you prefer! We hope to come again sometime. Angela and family.
