The Coach House

We were delighted with the property.

Ideal location for visiting other areas of Cornwall. Very welcoming hosts. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We plan to revisit in the near future.

Perfectly located, beautifully decorated and very comfortable cottage.

The coach house is beautiful and had everything we could possibly need, the balcony and garden are perfect.

The owners were great as well. The house is up a long drive and very quiet most of the time but very well situated for exploring the surrounding villages. St Colum Major has a co-op and a few takeaways, the high street is a bit run down looking but a nice little stroll from the house. Would not hesitate to book again if we were returning to cornwall.

What a fantastic stay.

The property is absolutely superb - with high quality fixtures, fittings and furniture. The outside balcony is a delight - and has a gas BBQ, which isn't shown on the listing. RESULT!! St Columb Major itself is brilliant, with two fish and chip shops (we went to the one furthest away from the property, and it was great); a SUPERB butchers; a co-op, a BRILLIANT baker, and a choice of pubs. I recommend the Red Lion - which is right next door to "the butchers bakehouse" (the good baker). The baker does delicious pizzas on Thurs-Sat (at time of writing - June 2026) and as the Red Lion doesn't do food, they let you bring it in with you. Can't beat pizza and a pint The owners are delightful, and genuinely care about you having a good holiday. Will we be back? OH YES!!!!!

We had a fab week staying at the Coach House.

The property was just perfect. It was comfortable, beautifully presented and was well equipped for a family of four (and our dog!) Particular highlights: the stunning view from the veranda, the BBQ to enjoy as the sunset, lovely bathrooms (both ensuite) and quality furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. In terms of location, the Coach House was perfectly placed to visit our most favourite Cornish destinations. I cannot fault anything, it was perfect! I would most definitely recommend and would love to return (although I don't think the weather could compare, we were blessed with wall to wall sunshine!) Thank you for having us, some great memories made at the Coach House! Jo

The property was good and tidy, it had all of the amenities you would need.

It was a little basic in terms of additonal perks to standard, for example no TVs in the bedrooms, no fire or fire pit, no hot tub or sauna or anything a bit fancier.

For a self-catering break The Coach House is one of the best equipped holiday homes we have stayed in.

Spotlessly clean throughout, towels & tea towels provided as well as the little things like dishwasher tablets & washing up liquid. Super-comfortable beds and sofas. A lovely sitting out area to enjoy the view from plus a sun shade to use if needed, which we did. The location made it possible to take day trips out in all directions. Great to have a nearby Co-Op too.

We stayed in the coach house for 2 weeks.

The first impression on arrival was wow! It's absolutely beautiful. Well-equipped inside, with stunning views from the balcony. The owners live next door, there if you need them, but leave you to enjoy your holiday. The location was perfect for us, as we didn't want to be in the thick of it, but only a 10-minute drive to a beach where our cockapoo absolutely loved the beach. I can honestly say I couldn't fault this beautiful house. My husband and I both agreed it was probably one of the best holidays we have had, and we have traveled quite a lot. Definitely going back

It’s what it says on the tin, a tasteful, comfortable well appointed house with all you need.

The location is lovely and good for the A30 to see Cornwall. It is more suited to people of average height (I’m 6.2”) however, I would ask to stay again

We stayed here for 7 days over Christmas and we loved every minute.

The house is beautiful and in a lovely little town. Short drive to most popular destinations too. Everything was so lovely from walking in to the heating already on, milk in the fridge and tea, coffee and biscuits ready for our arrival was such a lovely touch. Our friends stayed in their other property just a 2 min walk down the path and they had a lovely stay too. We will definitely be returning

This is probably the best holiday cottage that I have ever rented.

I would like to live there!!

What a lovely property, extremely well equipped in a great quiet location, local amenities a stones throw away .

Easy access to the a30 . And a few minutes away from Mawgan porth ,our favourite beach .

Lovely property and very clean, quiet and peaceful setting with beautiful views of rolling countryside.

Owner was very friendly and took the time to say hello and to check all was in order.

Amazing holiday property, beautiful inside, with top quality furnishings and extremely clean and well maintained.

Lovely quiet position overlooking the countryside, with a secure dog friendly garden, and only a ten minute walk into the village. There are 3 very welcoming pubs, and a well stocked local supermarket. Within 15/20 minutes by car to lots of wonderful Cornish towns.This property is very highly recommended

A Cornish holiday cottage that exceeds expectations at every level!

Incredibly comfortable beds and bedding and well thought through en-suite bathrooms in each, through to the upstairs living area that ticks every box with many impressive finishing touches. Through to a door to the upstairs large balcony and relaxing furniture. Finally views across the Cornish countryside from your balcony and upstairs windows that can include a stunning sunset. The outdoor garden area is also extensive, well kept and great to relax in. Situated in a location that removes you completely from what can be a busy part of Cornwall and allows time to relax, with a wonderful owner next door that is there if you need anything but equally leaves you to completely enjoy your break undisturbed. For those with an EV, it’s located ten minutes from Kingsley Village and a plethora of high speed chargers alongside an M&S, Boots etc The location in North Cornwall is perfect and in established reach of within 15-20 minutes of the north coast beaches,Newquay,Padstow and Wadebridge. Having stayed in Cornish cottages for the last ten years this is by far the family’s favourite, so much so we’ve booked to return this summer.

Everything really good, kitchen well equipped and could just do with a few baking trays.

The Coach House is in the perfect location for seeing Cornwall.

The property was fantastic. Comfortable and warm. Comfy beds and a good hot shower. We loved taking advantage of the huge verandah for an evening glass of wine and watch the sun set. We couldn’t get the BBQ to work as we couldn’t find how to switch the gas on and there wasn’t an instruction for that. The town is pretty jaded but about 6 miles away is a fab M&S so we got our shopping from there after a long day out. We ate in every night as we didn’t think the town had much to offer. But we were happy to do so. My husband and friend would recommend the Red Lion for a drink. We had booked to take our dog but didn’t last minute and I’m glad I didn’t as I’m not sure it was Flo friendly. Would happily stay there again.

Beautiful high class accommodation.

A real treat!

This cottage is excellent, immaculately clean, well presented, very comfortable and has everything you could need.

It is ideally located to the village which has great facilities. The decking gives stunning views and is perfect place to relax at the end of the day. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were fantastic. The only suggestion I would make is for fans in the bedrooms as we were lucky enough to have hot weather and they were very hot at night but this is a tiny point which didn’t effect us enjoying our stay. I would definitely stay again without question.

Wonderfully quiet location yet convenient for short walk into St Columb Major.

You may see us again soon.

A very comfortable cottage with a high class finish.

Had everything you need in the kitchen and very comfortable beds.Well positioned for visiting all parts of Cornwall

This was a beautiful cottage in a great position for touring Cornwall.

The cottage has wonderful views from the raised decking, the facilities were excellent. it had all you needed for self catering. The village had a must visit Pub the Ring of Bells the food and service were outstanding. the Local Co op is a short walking distance away. The local Chinese Takeaway is worth a visit. The Cottage owners live next door and were happy to point out places of interest ,and good restaurants within a short drive. I fully recommend the Coach House it made a wonderful Holiday

We had a fantastic 4 night Easter stay at the coach house near to all the beautiful coast line of Cornwall, fantastic place to stay would recommend to anyone

Beautiful property.

Well located. Approx 10 mins or so from beaches and Newquay. Very good amenities. Only one point is back garden needs a fence down the side as the side bed drops down to a path which leads to stables thereby not totally secure for dogs. With that said, would definitely recommend and would stay again.

The coach house is in a great location.

Was only a short drive to beaches and exploring around. Some good secure dog walking fields near by too. The owners are next door and although very lovely, it wasn't quite as private as we would have liked. The main reason we booked was it says secure garden and the pictures show really secure fencing. But the garden isn't as secure as we hoped as one side is just a border and a drop down the other side, which our 1yr old spaniel immediately found and then we had to keep him on a lead in the garden. So it wasn’t as relaxing as we had expected. So for us it wasn’t ideal, but we still had a lovely time. Great showers and comfy beds and nice bottle of wine to welcome us.

Superb shower/wet room for both bedrooms.

Lovely property throughout. One minor improvement would be a glass windbreak on the balcony terrace as the wind was a regular feature despite the fantastic weather.

Beautiful property in a fabulous surroundings and convenient location.

All the fixtures and fittings were top quality and the space was excellent for 2 couples and a dog. The garden is enclosed with gorgeous views and lots of furniture to enjoy the views. There are a number of pubs within walking distance, notably the Silver Ball for a friendly drink and the Ring o Bells for fantastic food and service. Would definitely go back to the coach house.

We stayed for 10 days at The Coach House, wonderful property complete with all amenities needed for a perfect holiday, just a short walk into the town, really good position for beaches etc.

Would definitely recommend this property.

We would absolutely stay there again and we re-book the same place when we return!

This is our 3rd time of using Sykes holiday cottages Each time the whole experience has been 2nd to non.

This occasion was no exception. The COACH HOUSE is in a wonderful position. And exceptionally well maintained Everything you could possibly need for your comfort is provided. From a cozy sitting area to warm comfy beds and underfloor heating throughout The village centre is little more than 5 mins walk away , there’s a co op. 3 pubs ( we only used 1 ) ring o bells. Chinese take away. Pizza take away fish and chips shop All in all you would be very hard pushed to find fault , and I for one was not going to We would definitely stay again given the opportunity

Tall people may get fed up with banging their head on the joists upstairs and at the bottom of the stairs.

The house was clean apart from several cobwebs. St Columb is a slightly run down place but the house is in a quiet area with some attractive views over the countryside. The underfloor heating is unresponsive compared to traditional systems. Also the fridge was far too small and there is room for a bigger fridge in such a large kitchen. As there is an excess of kitchen work top space the microwave could be in a better location rather than at waist level! The ground floor is rather gloomy due to dark decor and small windows.

Well equipped high standard accommodation which we found was a great base for visiting Cornwall's North Coast

We had a very enjoyable week staying at The Coach House.

All facilities were as described and lived up to our high expectations. Thank you and we would not hesitate to recommend you.

Fantastic week in a lovely cottage with brilliant views.

We have just returned from a week at the Coach House. For us it perfectly met what we wanted from start to finish. It’s in a great location with access to some great north coast beaches less than 25 minutes away but still close enough to the South coast for easy access. The views were great and the layout means you get to enjoy these during the day. We found the cottage to be perfectly kitted out with everything we needed and clean. The upstairs balcony is a great idea but we only got to enjoy it on a couple of evenings as the weather tended to turn wet later in the afternoons during our stay. With good weather this is the perfect place to spend an evening. The owner was friendly and on hand if we needed anything without being intrusive. Finally a special mention for the butchers bakehouse in Columb St Major. What a fantastic place this is. The cakes and croissants are amazing and although we didn’t buy any bread from here it also looked fantastic. All in all after 18 months of Covid restrictions this was the ideal cottage, location and place in the world to have a safe and enjoyable holiday :)

We had a very pleasant stay at the Coach House and the owner of the property, Canda, was very helpful and friendly.

We would happily go back there again.

This property is very nicely furnished with everything you would need.

The neighbours are the owners and very friendly. We found the location of the property in Cornwall to be a great position to easily visit other areas such as Newquay, Padstow, Fowey - everywhere seemed to be relatively nearby. We would certainly recommend this property and will hopefully visit again.

The accommodation was fantastic.

Well cleaned, nicely prepared and better than advertised eg view was amazing and it had a bbq which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. Our day had plenty of ground to run free on and the town itself was nice.

We booked this cottage as a last minute change to our original holiday due to the ongoing Covid restrictions and we weren't disappointed.

The cottage is amazing! We met the owners who live next door who were extremely welcoming and left us a lovely bottle of wine on our arrival. The property offers everything you need and more. The decor is a very high standard and presented beautifully with lovely touches making it feel very warm and welcoming. The views from the outside upper terrace are superb and go on for miles. The photos of the cottage on the website really don't do the property justice and we were surprised by how spacious it was. The kitchen area is fantastic and extremely well equipped. The lounge area is very comfortable and roomy, with the added bonus of a large dining table next to the double doors leading to the upper terrace. There is ample, comfortable furniture on the terrace with a gas BBQ. Both large bedrooms have the own superb walk-in shower rooms with rain showers with the master having a slightly larger one. The cottage has it's own driveway and rear garden, perfect for children or dogs as it's quite well enclosed and planted out beautifully. Conveniently located for access to many outstanding beaches, shops, restaurants and other adventures on offer in Cornwall. The village the cottage is located in, St Columb Major, is within 5 minutes walking distance and offers a Co-op, butchers, pubs and handy other services. We will definitely be back as we can't commend the owners enough for providing such a truly lovely holiday home.

Lovely house, in a great state of cleanliness with a well equipped kitchen.

Very warm and welcoming. We arrived late on a dark and stormy Friday night and rather wished that the directions had been more precise ... we were looking for a property called "The Coach House" but really needed to look for "Bospolvans House". If the directions had mentioned "next turning after Fire Station" or even "opposite main entrance to St Columb school" it would have been easier to find. Also there is no house name on the outside of the property and in the dark it was impossible to match to the photo on the booking sheet so we had to simply try the key box number to see if it worked. Luckily we had the right house and once we were inside all was great !

We stayed for 2 weeks.

Because of COVID we were unable to go out as much as usual so spent more time in the property, in the garden with our dog, and the property was comfortable and had everything we required. We had a couple of minor issues with the property ( very wobbly dining table & one of the heated towel rails did not work). I reported this to the owner who arranged for these to be fixed quickly. The owner was very friendly and helpful which we really appreciated. We would like to stay in this property again.

Great holiday home for me and my family Location was great Owner lived next door and was very welcoming and lovely Perfect 2 bed 2 bath with all facilities available

cleanliness needs to have sharper attention to detail (ie drawers in bedroom,windows cleaned inside and outside).

I believe a better way to dispose of land fill rubbish as against recyclable rubbish should be designed .

Great place to stay , quiet and close to amenities.

Seemed to have everything we needed but could do with more detailed instructions for heating system , unless we missed them.

The property is in a good central location for exploring Cornwall.

There are a lot of beautiful beaches and coastal walks nearby. The owners were very friendly and on hand if needed. The accommodation had luxurious en suite bathrooms, well equipped modern kitchen and comfortable dining and seating area and a terrace with great views of the surrounding countryside. We had a fantastic holiday.

Everything that was needed.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners. I.e. changing duvet because it was too warm due to the beautiful warm weather. Lovely place to relax and walking distance to town. Will book again
