“Sonya was very welcoming and helpful during and in the lead up to our holiday.”

The scones on arrival were delicious! Silvermine is a fabulous location and holiday rental - they have thought of everything you could need and more for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We look forward to booking again soon!

“This was our third stay at Silvermine House for a multi-generational holiday, and it was as wonderful as before but with the added bonus that we felt we were coming home!”

The house is always spotlessly clean. It is well laid out and well-equipped, and hosts Sonya and Paul are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We were always comfortable, and the views are to die for. We can’t wait to return.

“We stayed at Silvermine during half-term February 2022 and absolutely loved it, five stars all the way.”

There were 11 of us and more than enough room to accommodate us all. The kitchen is equipped with a range cooker, american fridge freezer and a long benched table meeting our needs perfectly. The whole house is of a very high standard equipped with all the modern luxuries. The views are amazing, coastal walks on your door step and a hot tub to relax in admiring the view. The owner, Paul, is a great host and around if needed for anything otherwise we were left to our own privacy. Thoroughly recommend.

“We all had a wonderful time.”

Silvermine House is a great place to relax and share time with family and friends. The owners, Paul & Sonya, couldn't have been more welcoming. We definitely plan to return.

“Silvermine house was everything we could have wished for for our Christmas break.”

Well equipped, the games room was a great hit for pool competitions, comfortable & stunning views. The hosts Sonya & Paul were most helpful with queries before we arrived nothing seemed to be too much trouble & a lovely gesture of sconces jam cream & wine on arrival. We will defiantly be back.

“This is a fantastic holiday property!”

Having travelled all around Cornwall and stayed in a number of purportedley 5 star homes, Silvermine is actually better than how it is described. The home is extremely well appointed and kept in excellent condition, it has everything you need, including a great living space, kitchen and games room. This of course does not include the unbelievable views of St Austell bay. Sonya and Paul make great hosts and are discreetly on hand to help (even when you manage to lose the front door key!). We stayed as a group of eight and there was easily room for more. A great place which we cannot recommend enough.

“We had a great week that we will never forget!”

“Silvermine house was in a beautiful peaceful location set within it's own grounds and it has been beautifully kept by Sonya and Paul who are an extremely nice couple.”

They were always available if needed not that we needed anything. Silvermine is very spacious particularly the large lounge area which was beautiful to relax in after our evening meal. I would recommend Silvermine to anyone who needs space, room and a relaxing environment. We had a golden wedding anniversary celebration using dineindulge.co.uk who arrange for a local chef to come along and cook/serve a meal. The chef and food was excellent with and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion. Thanks once again to Sonya and Paul

“Silvermine House is just the most wonderful home from home holiday place.”

The owners, who are just the nicest people you could wish to meet, have covered everything and eventuality you could possibly imagine. We were eleven people (including two oldies and four children) and the fantastic accommodation allowed ultimate flexibility for us all. What else, oh yes, fantastic views, short walk to the nearest beach, beautiful outdoor areas, hot tub and games room with gym. Lots of great laughs had with pool tournaments most days. Altogether a most wonderful place which I can whole heartedly recommend and really hope to revisit.

“Silvermine House is an absolutely beautiful property with all the comforts we could possibly have wanted for our holiday.”

It allowed us to spend time with extended family and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back. It is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and the views out over the sea are stunning.

“Silvermine house is in a fabulous location and the house is even better than the images on the website suggest.”

The hosts are on hand and available if needed but other than a lovely welcome we were left to get on with having a fantastic holiday ! The house is very well equipped and tastefully decorated throughout . The grounds are beautiful and have the added bonus of hot tub and games room with gymn. We would love to return in the future.

“Pictures do not do this beautiful property justice.”

It has been renovated to the highest level with every little detail thought of.from the lighting being able to be changed in the evening to the sensors in the bathroom!. Paul and Sonya have put their hearts and soul into this building and you really feel it from the moment you walk in and are greeted with the best scones we have ever tasted. The pictures truly do not show how amazing the views were. Every room has a sea view and it is worth getting up early to see the amazing sunrises. Even on a wet day paul and Sonya have made sure there is plenty to keep young and old entertained. The hot tub was an added bonus that kept everyone feeling relaxed and walking into the heated floors and beautiful cream tea will keep us coming back again and again

“This house ticked all the boxes.”

Firstly, the house is amazing. It is worth it just for the view. Spacious, well laid out. The heating was luxurious and ensured that you were cosy when nipping from the hot tub to the house. Kids were easily please with the games room and I enjoyed the gym. Secondly, We found it very easily and it is well located from every tourist attraction. The host Sonja was very attentive and made sure that she was on hand if we needed anything. After three trips to Cornwall, we think we finally found out base.

Angela September 2020

“We have just arrived back from having a fantastic week at Silvermine.”

Paul and Sonya were very welcoming hosts, scones and wine a lovely added touch. We were a party of 8 adults and 2 children. The house is in a perfect location to explore the area, coastal walks on your doorstep or just enjoy the hot tub, games room or gym. The attention to detail was exceptional, everthing you needed was there. Stunning views. Would definitely return.

“Silvermine house was everything we expected and more.”

The owners Sonya and Paul were very welcoming and the scones and wine on arrival were a lovely touch. The house was spacious and accommodated us well, it has stunning views and the location is perfect for visiting the local attractions. The local beach “Porthpean” is a short walk away and is great for the kids. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning .

“Stunning property, renovated to a very high standard.”

It is situated on the cliff tops with an unobstructed view out to sea. The owners are very welcoming and ensured that our stay was as comfortable as could be. Evenings spent in the hot tub, looking out to sea was amazing. would highly recommend.

Angela February 2020

“Silvermine House is a fabulous place to stay, from the warm welcome, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream and bottles of fizz, nothing is too much trouble for the lovely owners.”

The house itself is immaculate, 6 gorgeous bedrooms all with stunning views and a wonderful open living space with high ceilings on the first floor. Plenty of space for 3 families. Oh and plenty of bathrooms too, all with great lighting! The hot tub was a big hit with everyone and the views from it are amazing. The large kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed many walks directly from the house down to the closest beach and there is so much to do nearby. We particularly enjoyed the lost gardens of heligan, recommended by Sonya the owner and a trip to Mevagissy where the boys went out on a little fishing trip. It's not a case of if, but when we come back. We loved this house and it made our holiday truly memorable.

“Gorgeous house, stunning location and incredible sea views.”

The owners have really thought of everything to create a comfortable, cosy and relaxing retreat.

“Amazing property with breath taking views.”

It had everything we needed and all well thought out. This place even has sharp kitchen knives (something that seems impossible in any other holiday let). Rooms were lovely and we slept well! Silvermine would be a great place to visit all year round with something to enjoy across the seasons. House is great for kids of all ages with its own garden safely away from traffic. We would definitely consider returning. Local attractions included Eden and lost gardens of Heligan as well as amazing Cornish beaches and countryside walks. Well worth the price to give you a luxury holiday venue. Hosts were really welcoming and on hand for anything we needed.

Bruce July 2019

“Silvermine is a beautifully presented house in fantastic location.”

The view was lovely. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful to us during our stay. Something for all ages to do in surrounding area. You feel you are in the middle of nowhere but supermarket, beach and Charlestown are all within a couple of miles We had a lovely holiday and would recommend a stay here to anyone considering a visit to the area.

“Silvermine House is stunning!”

It definitely has the WOW factor! Beautiful sea views from the house and the hot tub, very peaceful location, yet gateway to explore so much of Cornwall. Great welcome from owners both in person and with thoughtful 'goodies'! Useful information and directions given prior to our stay and quick response time from owners. Immaculately clean, spacious and light property. Our kids had lots of fun in the 'gym', games room and the relaxing living room. We loved the sea views, the lovely kitchen & nespresso coffee machine. We all enjoyed the outdoor space & the bubbly hot tub! We managed to tear the kids and ourselves away from the house and walk via the coastal path to quaint Charlestown (recommend the lemongrass & coconut mussels at Wreckers restaurant!). The Eden project is a great family day out and only about 15 mins drive away. Nearby Pentewan beach was good for playing sports & we drove across to the north coast for a beautiful beach day too (40 mins drive). Kidsworld Adventure Play Centre is only 5-10 minutes drive away and is a fun rainy day option for the kids. St Mawes Castle is definitely worth a visit in the sunshine. Highly recommend Silvermine House and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
