  I booked this staycation as a treat for my Daughter and my grandson.

  On arrival to the property it became clear there were no laundry facilities on site to wash clothing during their stay and I was told by the owners a launderette would have to be used which was a 15 minute walk from the property and with it being a self catering property with no onsite laundry facilities this was strange. Also having to make regular trips to launder wet water gear and towels used for the beach regularly was not ideal and caused more expense as well as taking time throughout the stay which is far from ideal. There is also no way of drying wetsuits after use in the sea as no outside hanging space. Also an iron was provided in the property but no ironing board to use with it? Also with regular trips to the beach throughout the stay and no vacuum in the property to clear up sand debris off footwear was a nuisance with just the use of a dust pan and brush. You would have to ensure you have plenty of extra beach towels and clothing to last during your stay if you wish to not use a local launderette during your stay. Also no dishwasher so the facilities provided are pretty basic which does not reflect well in the rental cost per week. Fabulous location and great heating but the other factors I’ve mentioned were a huge let down and I feel it should be made known in the property details about the lack of laundry facilities onsite and cleaning facilities to keep the property tidy during a stay here. Otherwise it’s in a great location.

  Just stayed here for a week.

  There was a few problems on arrival: 1: there was cobwebs and spiders in the bedroom, bathroom and living kitchen area 2: ants on the floor in the kitchen area 3: the patio area was very over grown (nothing like the pictures shown) 4: there is a cat which is not mentioned in the description. (Our dog doesn't like cats) When we knocked on the door and mentioned these problems to the owner we were told the patio area is a wildlife one and the weeds are too much to maintain, there shouldn't be cobwebs as she had just spent three hours cleaning the property, the birds like eating the ants and she couldn't do much about the cat other than say he doesn't go in the patio area so wouldn't be a problem. ( The cat does go in the patio area as we found out one morning when we took out dog in luckily on a lead) The owner could tell we wasn't happy and went and got the hoover to suck the cobwebs up, put any powder down outside and starting trimming the over grown patio area. The owner also said over the weekend her husband would mow to make a path for us, it never got done. We couldn't sit outside or let our dog off the lead due to it being so over grown or our dog chasing the cat. One thing about the description that is right is it's in a good location, easy access to crantock beach and fistral beach.

  We have stayed in numerous properties in Mawgan Porth and have to say that Treath Barn is an absolute stand out! Perfect location for access to the sea - yes its a steep walk down ...and especially up, but far shorter than accessing from the village and walking across long stretches of sand. The layout of the accommodation itself was perfect for us, especially being able to section off the downstairs bedroom and bathroom areas to keep wet dogs contained. The property was also equipped to a very high standard. I love to cook and usually have to 'make do' without weighing scales, baking tins, rolling pins etc...but not here - Treath's kitchen was just like a home from home. Finally I must commend the beautiful furnishings, a squishy, luxurious, wonderful sofa, lovely wall art and decorative touches, and some quality cook books and reading material to boot! Wonderful. We'll definitely be back.

  We had a fabulous time. The cottage was immaculate, in a fantastic location, very comfortable and homely, well appointed with high quality appliances and equipment throughout. It's a blissful spot overlooking the creek and with a very pleasant short walk along the Saint's Way into Padstow. The cottage was very clean, the provision of laundry bags and the discreet notes advising us what to do with used towels, kitchen cloths and how to leave the property on departure i.e. with windows open, gave us a great deal of confidence in the current climate. Well done and thank you to all at Cornish Horizons, the property cleaners and maintenance staff and to the owners for allowing us the opportunity to stay in such a delightful place. You even provided us with sunny days and warm-ish seas in mid October! Thank you all again and we already planning on returning to Little Petherick next year.

  Great location, within waking distance to the beach.

  The place was really clean. I’d alerted the owners to there being no oven gloves and fish slice and the next day both were provided for us. Both us and our dog were made to feel very welcome. And the enclosed garden space just for us to use was brilliant for our dog The owners also offered their garage to store our sports equipment. The place has a generous parking space off road with loads of room for our van. The wifi was intermittent, so I wouldn’t recommend if you needed to work from the accommodation. It would be great if there was a vacuum cleaner availble as we took our dog to the beach a lot and the place got quite sandy. The only warning to other guests is the bathroom door. There are gaps in the slats of the doors which doesn’t give much privacy. It wasn’t a problem for us, but I wouldn’t have liked it if I was in a new relationship!
