Ilgram is a well-received holiday cottage in Cornwall, praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the peaceful location with fantastic views, proximity to local beaches and towns, and the welcoming touches such as cakes on arrival. While there are minor suggestions for improvement, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Cleanliness

Guests consistently describe Ilgram as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition of the property. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

Location

The property's location is praised for its tranquillity and beautiful views, with easy access to local beaches and towns. However, some guests noted the narrow roads and tricky parking, slightly impacting the perfect score.

Comfort

Comfort is a strong point for Ilgram, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the house warm and welcoming. The only minor criticism relates to the lack of soap dishes in showers, which suggests room for improvement.

Facilities

The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-appointed kitchen. However, a leaking sink and some issues with door locks and curtain stoppers indicate that while facilities are excellent, there is some room for maintenance improvements.

Thoughtfulness

The thoughtful touches, such as welcome cakes and fresh produce, are frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests. While these gifts add to the experience, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.

About this property

St Newlyn East 0.9 miles. Ilgram is a large, detached house nestled on the outskirts of St Newlyn East, Cornwall. Surrounded by fields, wildlife, and with excellent amenities for a self-catering, this holiday home provides a tranquil base for a family of six to explore the best of Cornwall. Find off-road parking on arrival to unload your luggage with ease and make yourself right at home. Head to the kitchen/diner to stock up the cupboards ready to rustle up your favourite dishes in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, complete with an electric range cooker, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. Tuck in at the breakfast bar for two or set the table in the light-filled dining area; a lovely spot to savour family meals and catch up on the day's adventures! If the sun is shining, be sure to step out into your private garden with a lawn to sunbathe in peaceful surroundings, while the patio hosts outdoor seating to dine alfresco. Retreat inside to the warmth of the sitting room's woodburning stove to snuggle up on the leather sofas and watch TV or challenge your loved ones to a classic board game. After days spent along Cornwall's sparkling coast, put sandy towels in the washing machine and head straight to the sleek, ground-floor shower room to wash away the sand! Upstairs you'll find another family bathroom with a bath, shower over, and heated towel rail for extra comfort. Find plenty of storage space, bedside lamps for evening readers, and homely touches in all three bedrooms at Ilgram; the master super king-size has a sofa and an en-suite for added privacy, along with a king-size, and a twin overlooking the uninterrupted fields. Head into the centre of St Newlyn East when you fancy a break from the kitchen to dine at the Pheasant Inn or stock up at the supermarket; this little village is a quiet getaway from the busier parts of Cornwall all year-round! A popular family attraction is the nearby Lappa Valley, a steam train ride through a wildlife-rich, conservation area with something for everyone to enjoy, while the 16th-century manor house, Trerice has a formal garden and period rooms to explore. Holywell is a short drive away for the picturesque Holywell Bay beach, Holywell Bay Golf Club, and coastal walks to discover more idyllic, sandy coves and picnic spots. The popular seaside resort of Newquay is also within easy reach; meet exotic animals at Newquay Zoo, play at Pirate's Quest Adventure Golf, or why not embark on a boat tour to spot the local wildlife? Known as a prime surfing location, Fistral Beach is backed by dunes and cliffs for a stunning spot for sunbathing and watersports. Perranporth is another great seaside town where exhibits on local fishing and mining history can be found at Perranzabuloe Museum, as well as Perran Sands Beach and Chapel Rock Pool, nature's own swimming pool! An excellent location all year-round, book your next family holiday in Cornwall at Ilgram.

This tiny village, nestled among the open fields and winding hedgerows of north Cornwall, provides a peaceful contrast to the summer bustle of nearby Newquay. St Newlyn East has a well-stocked shop, a tavern with wonderful home-cooked meals, a Post Office, and a butcher's shop. Within 10 miles, there are estates and gardens, model railroads, amusement parks, fishing villages and harbours, and some of the UK's best surfing beaches, making it a calm sanctuary with a multitude of rural walks.
