Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only one mention of a musty smell and woodlice, which seems to be an isolated issue. The consistent praise for cleanliness suggests a high standard maintained by the owners.

The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and proximity to local pubs and attractions. The scenic views and easy access to Cornwall's destinations contribute to its high rating, although one review mentioned narrow lanes as a minor inconvenience.

Guests frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the well-equipped space and comfortable bedding. There is a single mention of a bed being slightly bouncy, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.

Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of modern conveniences like Wi-Fi and Netflix. However, a few guests noted issues with water pressure, mustiness, and the desire for a heated towel rail, slightly lowering the score.

Many guests noted the thoughtful gestures such as homemade cake, milk, and flowers, which added to their positive experience. While these gifts are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, although common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

The Secret Garden is a comfortable ground floor apartment forming part of the Owner's converted old chapel set on the fringe of the peaceful village of Mithian, just two miles from the picturesque Trevaunance Cove and the village of St Agnes and less than ten minutes by car to the golden sands at Perranporth. It has a southerly outlook, country views, generous and contemporary accommodation and a sunny garden making it a perfect spot for a restful stay. From the fabulous balcony, making the most of the views, enter the property through french doors where a spacious and comfortable living room greets guests, there is a sofa bed that can accommodate an additional guest, if required (linen provided on request at time of booking). A light and airy apartment which is completed with a double bedroom, modern kitchen and bathroom. Meals can be enjoyed on the patio by the garden entrance, or on the balcony making the most of the countryside views and the varied wild birds who visit. Mithian is a small ancient Cornish Village, is just under two miles from St Agnes, where there are over 70 footpaths and bridleways as well as direct access to the coastal path, a haven for walkers. After a day exploring why not enjoy a meal at the 16th century Miners Arms, just three minutes walk from Secret Garden. Centrally located with easy access along the North coast from Padstow to St Ives as well as other attractions such as The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Trerice Manor, to name but a few.

St Agnes is a thriving picturesque village on the Cornish coast, with four beaches on the doorstep and surrounded by wonderful countryside. Swim or surf in the clear waters, walk the footpaths and bridleways or hop onto the South West Coast Path. Coasteering, kayaking and horse riding are all available locally, and St Agnes has a regular programme of events and gigs for all the family to enjoy. The local shops offer an interesting selection of produce, from tasty treats to one-off pieces of art as a unique souvenir of your Cornish holiday, and there is a superb range of dining choices with two Great Cornish Food Awards in 2015. St Agnes also has a rich mining heritage which can be explored with a visit to the St Agnes Museum. Head out of St Agnes and you will find plenty of Cornwall’s attractions within easy reach, from the beaches at Newquay to the Tate at St Ives or the cathedral at Truro and of course, the world-famous Eden Project. St Agnes is also in the heart of Poldark Country, the landscapes made famous by the novels and TV series’, the most recent of which was broadcast in early 2015.

    The apartment was fully equipped. The only negative aspect was the garden that needed some TLC. We would recommend it and stay here again.

  • Kay

    Decor of apartment and condition of garden is tired and a heated towel rail in the bathroom would be very useful, however we had a lovely holiday and The Miner's Arms in the village is a very friendly pub with great food.
