“We had a very enjoyable time at The Toll House - the property is well-equipped and we liked the quirkiness of it.”

There were only a couple of minor issues i.e. the very bright street light which shone into the bedroom windows at night- we had to block it by putting pillows at the window each night! Perhaps blackout curtains could be installed; also a gate to the garden would have been nice for privacy and security, particularly for clients with children. These are just minor quibbles, and everything else was lovely and we enjoyed sitting by the river in the garden watching the wildlife (even saw a ...

There were only a couple of minor issues i.e. the very bright street light which shone into the bedroom windows at night- we had to block it by putting pillows at the window each night! Perhaps blackout curtains could be installed; also a gate to the garden would have been nice for privacy and security, particularly for clients with children. These are just minor quibbles, and everything else was lovely and we enjoyed sitting by the river in the garden watching the wildlife (even saw a kingfisher). The only thing which was a little irritating was the day we were leaving, when the cleaners arrived at 9.58a.m. as we were getting our belongings together ready to leave, and insisted on coming in as they "had 6 properties to clean" that day. Whilst not actually being rude, two of them were upstairs and had the beds stripped before we had even taken the suitcases downstairs, and the other one hovered in the kitchen while I emptied the last minute items from the fridge, waiting to clean the shower room,( which made us feel slightly uncomfortable about using the toilet before leaving), and removing all towels before we had washed our hands. We understand there is a time for vacating a property, but felt it would have been polite to wait outside for for a few minutes.
Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We stayed here October time and what a fantastic little gem this was!”

The cottage itself is very cute but also has a lot of room. The garden is really nice to chill in and sit by the river that flows right through the middle. Fantastic access to Rock and Padstow just a short drive away. Column St Major is also a beautiful little town with a lot of character and is a 5 minute walk from the cottage (if that). Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!!

About the location

ST COLUMB MAJOR

Newquay 7 miles; Padstow 9 miles.

An old and picturesque market town nestled among lush green countryside, just five miles from the North Cornish Coast. The resort attractions of Newquay includes bars, clubs, a zoo, vibrant shops, the National Surfing Centre and fabulous beaches are all just 7 miles away, while 9 miles in the other direction is the sleepy fishing port of Padstow. In between lies a beautiful section of the South West Coast path, winding its way over the clifftops, down to tranquil coves and across some of the region's top beaches. The surrounding area is also a visitor’s paradise with much to see and do. Stately homes, world-renowned gardens, adventure playgrounds and theme parks, model railways, fishing lakes and golf courses are all to be discovered within 10 miles. Even the spectacular Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both on the other side of the county, are only 12 miles away, making this a superb base for your Cornish holiday.
