“We found the cottage very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.”

The White Hart Inn opposite was very welcoming, and the food was excellent—with enormous portions! The café was also lovely for breakfast and lunch. We would highly recommend both. Parking in the square was generally fine, although it can become busy during church and village events. Unfortunately, the main road through the village was very busy. This wasn’t a problem during the day, but the traffic disturbed us late at night and early in the morning. The small bakery business opposite ...

The White Hart Inn opposite was very welcoming, and the food was excellent—with enormous portions! The café was also lovely for breakfast and lunch. We would highly recommend both. Parking in the square was generally fine, although it can become busy during church and village events. Unfortunately, the main road through the village was very busy. This wasn’t a problem during the day, but the traffic disturbed us late at night and early in the morning. The small bakery business opposite also woke us at around 4 a.m. when staff arrived and began work. We are light sleepers, so this may not affect everyone. Finally, as not everyone uses coffee pods, a simple cafetière would be a welcome addition to the kitchen.

- Darren, August 2026

Hi Darren, thank you very much for your favourable comments and recommendations following your recent stay in our cottage. We are very sorry though to hear that external noise and traffic movement through the village affected your sleep. Hawthorn Cottage is in the heart of the village, and the road is often busier during peak hours as people travel to and from work. Plus, the pub and the café are also very popular with locals and visitors alike. Whilst being conveniently situated close to all the village amenities is very often welcomed by so many of our holiday guests, we do understand that guests have different expectations. You will have noticed that there is a 20mph speed restriction implemented within the village, a common necessity in many towns and villages these days, but unfortunately not all drivers will comply with this speed limit so we do appreciate that noise from passing vehicles can sometimes be rather annoying. The gentleman who owns the small Patisserie bakery lives in the village and is a one-man business working on his own, with no other staff. We have spoken to him regarding his early morning deliveries, and he was most concerned to hear about your experience. He is very conscious that his bakery business is surrounded by residential properties and has assured us that on the occasional mornings where he does have to accept deliveries that he tries very hard to ensure minimal noise disturbance to all his neighbours. So, we are truly very sorry that you were affected by this and can only apologise for the disturbance caused to you and your party during your stay. We always welcome receiving our guests’ feedback as we care deeply about providing the best experience to help create a luxurious, comfortable & relaxing stay in our cottage. Unfortunately though, it’s not always possible for us to make improvements in all cases but we thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and while we very much regret the noise disturbances you experienced we hope you all still had a very enjoyable holiday. Best wishes Alan & Liz Property Owner
Karen September 2025

“We spent a very happy week in this lovely cottage, which was immaculately clean and well-appointed.”

We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this is one of the best. The fact that the owners lived here for 10 years is evident in the quality of the fixtures and fittings and the practical layout. We appreciated the welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. There was always a place to park a few yards away, by the church. The pub across the road has a great atmosphere, is dog-friendly and serves really good food (huge portions!). St Teath is well-positioned for exploring the north and south Cornwall coastline.

- Karen, September 2025

Thank you so much Karen for your fabulous feedback! Sorry for the slight delay in responding which was due to a technical error on the website. We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review and we are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. We have also passed on your comments to the pub landlord who was very pleased to hear that you all enjoyed their friendly & welcoming hospitality. Many thanks again and we sincerely hope that we may welcome you all back to Hawthorn Cottage sometime soon. Property Owner
Rachel August 2025

“Hawthorn Cottage was a perfect “home away from home.”

” It is furnished to a high standard and has everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfy and the cottage very clean. Liz and Alan were great hosts and had thought of everything. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring North Cornwall and I’d recommend to all.

- Rachel, August 2025

Jonathan August 2025

“Delightful house in a great location.”

Fully equipped and very comfortable. Pub over the road is great and food very good. The patisserie over the road makes the most amazing lemon tart. The owners are lovely and so warm and welcoming. Thoroughly recommend this place.

- Jonathan, August 2025

Thank you, Jonathan for your wonderful review of our cottage and for also mentioning some of the great facilities that we have to offer in the village too! We are so pleased to hear that you all enjoyed your stay with us and we very much hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Danielle June 2025

“The cottage was very nice to stay.”

It was comfortabel, very clean,good equipped, nice interior with good taste.We were very lucky that we could sit in the garden several times. We liked the little village and were lucky to see the bell ringing in the church and a morris dance performance at the pub. We also ordered a very good lemon tart in the bakery in front. It was a very good place to explore the neighbourhood and the beautifull cornish coast and villages. We really loved it!

- Danielle, June 2025

Danielle, what a lovely review, thank you so much! It's good to hear that the location worked really well for you all and that you were also able to experience a few of the village activities taking place during your weeks' holiday. We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review - much appreciated. Property Owner
Erich May 2025

“We enjoyed the time in Hawthorn Cottage very much, in particular the very comfortable facility of each room.”

The owners of the cottage were extraordinary kind and supporting, as we forgot a cushion, which they sent back. We can just recommend this cottage.

- Erich, May 2025

Thank you so much Erich for your lovely review and for recommending us too - we really appreciate your kind comments. We are so pleased that you all enjoyed a comfortable stay in Hawthorn Cottage and hope we might see you again one day. Property Owner
Jackie September 2024

“Had a lovely week at Hawthorn Cottage.”

The cottage is so comfortable with everything you could possibly want. Our 2 dogs loved the enclosed garden and we were only half an hour from the lovely beaches. No problem with parking in the square. Liz the owner checked that we had everything we needed , which was much appreciated. I will be recommending the cottage to friends without hesitation

- Jackie, September 2024

Thank you so much Jackie for your lovely review, that's really good to hear. We are so pleased that you all enjoyed such a comfortable stay in Hawthorn Cottage and that the location also worked particularly well for you and your dogs too! We hope we might see you all again one day. Property Owner
Kathryn August 2024

“Liz's cottage was perfect.”

We were so grateful, after having to leave our Airbnb, for such a perfect, well appointed and considerately though out cottage. Liz was a thoroughly excellent host, who communicated really well with us during our stay, even looking to accommodate our design to get in a little early. The day we arrived we also got to experience the St Teath Carnival go right past the door, which was lovely. We can't recommend Hawthorne Cottage and Sykes highly enough. For us, our 2 older teenager daughters and the dog it was just perfect. Forever grateful.

- Kathryn, August 2024

Thank you so much Kathryn for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you all enjoyed your stay in our cottage and we're always more than happy to accommodate our guests requests, if it's at all possible. Plus, what a bonus for you all to experience the special atmosphere of the village Carnival during your stay too! Glad you all had such a brilliant holiday and we hope to welcome you back again one day. Property Owner
Amanda June 2024

“We had a wonderful week in Hawthorn Cottage.”

It was a real home from home which is no surprise as the owners used to live there. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery, glassware, utensils and cookware. The garden on 3 levels is great and secure for dogs. Getting sunshine all day is a real bonus especially with full bi-fold patio doors. The bedrooms are comfortable and nicely furnished with lots of hangers and storage. Two bathrooms and a great hall with more storage make it a lovely living space. We had a fire most evenings just for the joy of it. The heating was more than enough to make the cottage warm and toasty.

- Amanda, June 2024

Hi Amanda, what a lovely review, thank you so much. We're glad to hear that the cottage had everything you needed to make it a comfortable and relaxing stay and that your dogs enjoyed the garden too - waggy tails, happy dogs! We hope to welcome you all back again soon. Property Owner
Paul November 2023

“Great communications from Liz the owner who gave us some great background information before we went .”

The cottage is certainly a hidden gem, well situated in the village and modern and clean throughout. Many thanks for the voucher we used in the White Hart Pub which is thoroughly recommended for some great pub food. Lola the Retriever loved the secure garden to stretch her legs in. The cottage is well placed for short journeys to Wadebridge and Padstow. Thoroughly recommend this gem to anyone and will be booking again.

- Paul, November 2023

Paul, what a fantastic review, thank you so much! It's great to hear that you all enjoyed your stay in Hawthorn Cottage and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Christina October 2023

“We loved our stay at this lovley decorated cottage.”

We had everything we needed. It was warm and cosy - the beds were fantastic. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The pub, which is a few meters away, has very, very good food. We didn't take our dog on this travel, but would he have had joined us, he would have loved it as well. We would book Hawthron Cottage again and recommend it to our friends.

- Christina, October 2023

Thanks Christina, we really do appreciate you taking the time to submit your wonderful review and we hope to welcome you all back to Hawthorn Cottage soon.... and of course your dog would be most welcome too! Property Owner
Stephen September 2023

“We had a great stay at Hawthorn cottage.”

Becareful of the steep step up to the shower room. Tastefully decorated. Thankyou liz for the voucher. I would definitely recommend this property. Ideal base for a holiday in North Cornwall.

- Stephen, September 2023

Hi Stephen, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback, it's very much appreciated. We are delighted to hear that our cottage exceeded your expectations and that the location also worked well for you. We hope to welcome you all back to Hawthorn Cottage soon. Property Owner

“Such a wonderful cottage, we loved our stay.”

Everything was just perfect, we couldn’t recommend this comfy cottage enough. We will definitely be back and would love to stay in the warmer months to enjoy the lovely garden too. I believe our friends have already rebooked!

Steven October 2021

“We were a party of 4 and the property was perfect for us.”

Felt very at home. Would definitely look at booking this again if we wanted a break that was in easy commuting distance to my lampshade business, M4KE, in Launceston. We loved St Teath where everyone was so welcoming. We would've loved to have been able to sit out in the garden, however wrong time of year. The property had some lovely extra touches in the kitchen such as non-stick baking foil, cling film etc. Dishwasher only a small one, but we didn't go really to cook. The pub across the road had an excellent service and we enjoyed the food.

- Steven, October 2021

- Deborah, October 2021
Linda September 2021

“We think there should blackout curtains at the front of the cottage as it is very bright in there at night.”

- Linda, September 2021

Thank you Linda for your feedback. We approached Cornwall Council to ask if there was anything that could be done to reduce the brightness of the street light which is directly opposite the cottage. They were able to attach a filter to the lamp which directs the light downwards and this does now appear to have resolved the problem. Property Owner

- Andrew, June 2021
Linda June 2021

“Hawthorn Cottage is a well appointed home from home with plenty of facilities that are of good quality and very useful.”

I would suggest some blackout blinds for the front bedrooms and some sort of covering for the round window in the back bedroom purely to get a longer sleep.

- Linda, June 2021

Thank you Linda for your feedback. We approached Cornwall Council to ask if there was anything that could be done to reduce the brightness of the street light which is directly opposite the cottage.

The property

Resting in the centre of the quaint village of St Teath is the delightful, Hawthorn Cottage.

This chocolate-box, detached cottage has been designed to bring families and friends together to enjoy this beautiful part of Cornwall, filled with attractions and activities to suit all ages and tastes.

The interior offers a lovely blend of contemporary style with touches of original features to ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere to spend your evenings relaxing with loved ones.

After a busy day exploring the idyllic North Coast of Cornwall, look forward to curling up on the plush sofas which rest in front of the woodburning stove, whilst you flick on the TV.

Move into the stylish kitchen to prepare your meals, complete with a host of integrated appliances to ensure your culinary requirements are met, while the dining table offers the perfect spot to enjoy mealtimes.

As you tire, head upstairs to find the bedrooms, offering a choice of two king-size bedrooms, and one single bed (with a trundle underneath) each delightfully furnished in neutral tones and hosting plenty of storage for your personal items.

Served by a sleek bathroom and shower room, there’s plenty of space to prepare for the day.

Continuing to impress is the charming garden area, split over 3 areas with plenty of seating and sun loungers provided; kick back with a refreshing gin and tonic and soak up the Cornish sunshine.

Moments from the property is the White Hart Inn, a friendly pub serving tasty grub, as well as a pretty café where sweet treats can be sampled.

There is also a Post Office within a short walking distance.

Those who love the outdoors will appreciate the rugged landscapes of Bodmin Moor, one of Cornwall’s designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the idyllic South West Coast Path offers a gentler walking route with some unbeatable coastline vistas.

Plan a visit to the captivating coastal village of Tintagel, promising an unforgettable visit with its quaint buildings and breath-taking scenery, and from here you can also take a trip to Port Isaac and Padstow, both offering oodles of coastal charm.

Hawthorn Cottage is a great touring base for taking in all that North Cornwall has to offer.
