“Beautiful house in a great location”

Turfrick is a lovely house, recently refurbished in a modern style but still cosy and welcoming ...

Turfrick is a lovely house, recently refurbished in a modern style but still cosy and welcoming. We stayed for a week in May and were able to enjoy both the front terrace, with its views over St Agnes town, and the rear garden where we sat around the huge firepit on the raised patio at night with a glass of wine. The three bedrooms are a good size with comfortable beds. The master bedroom is in the original loft space so has velux windows which allow you to look at the stars or have a private view over the town while sitting in bed! The kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed and the large living area has lots of seating and is very bright due to the glazed exterior doors which lead onto the front terrace on one side and the rear garden on the other. In terms of location it's excellent. Within a couple of minutes walk is St Agnes town, including a couple of very nice pubs. A couple of small supermarkets are within 12-15 minutes gentle walk. The road down to the beach is also very close, so you could be on St Agnes beach within 20 minutes of leaving the house. And of course St Agnes is perfectly placed to explore the rest of the North Cornwall coast or, in less than an hour's drive, the south coast. Overall the house is perfect for a Cornish stay. A few tips: * You can drive down to St Agnes beach but the parking is quite costly. If you go in the town-run car park (just on the left opposite the toilets) it's £2 all day - but you need to get there reasonably early. * The Tap House is the closest pub, only a few minutes walk from the house, and does good food * Our favourite pub by far was the Miners Arms in Mithian, only around 10 minutes drive from the house - lovely old pub with lots of nooks & crannies, incredibly friendly and with a very good menu & lovely beer. We stopped in there nearly every day!

“Beautiful house in superb location”

Our stay here was absolutely lovely. The house is really nice with some great touches such as underfloor heating, wood burning stove and really big shower room. The large garden is very pretty with established trees and plants and the south facing decking is a real sun trap and a great place to relax and let the world go by. The location within this great village is superb for visiting the local shops, restaurants and pubs or for walks to the beach or along the coastal path. Hope to come back soon.

“Lovely, comfortable house with fab views”

We stayed at this beautiful house in St Agnes with our two boys and had such a lovely home from home stay. The accommodation was light,airy and modern and had everything we needed for our stay, exactly what we were hoping for. The views from the house were stunning and the location peaceful. It was lovely having our morning cuppa watching the world go by. It was a big bonus for us that the beach, pubs and restaurants are within walking distance especially with two young children. There is parking at the house but you can also park at the top of the lane, which is literally 2 minute walk if that or at the bottom of the hill which we chose to do. We would love to stay here again in the near future.

“Beautiful house in a great location, near the beach and village centre”

This is a really lovely house, fitted and furnished to a very high standard. We are seasoned Cornwall visitors, and were looking for somewhere near the beach and village in St Agnes (or 'Aggie' as locals affectionately call it!) Turfrick fitted the bill really well. Walking distance to the lovely Trevaunance Cove beach, as well as the mixture of traditional pubs and contemporary foodie places in St Agnes itself. It's also a good base for exploring other parts of Cornwall. The house is set in gardens on all four sides, which our boys loved exploring, and is blessed with stunning views (including one of Cornwall's famous old tin mines). Inside is very tastefully decorated, but without feeling like you're in a show home. We were very at home, and very relaxed during our stay here. Great find, in a lovely part of North Cornwall.

“Perfect...except for the driveway”

This place is a lovely lovely place, beautiful views, fab location, everything you need for a home from home, including our two dogs staying free! The massive down side is the parking...or rather the driveway you need to scale to get to the parking space! It seriously needs looking at, how are people expected to go up a one way lane, reverse in said lane, 45' angle with stone walls either side up a sheer driveway?? What doesn't help the already difficult situation is there is a white van or pick up truck constantly parked at the bottom of the drive making the "swing round" reverse even harder. We both felt this really let the property down as we were even going to book to return next year but after a week of hassle parking, we will not be returning. We paid good money for the beautiful house and expect to have half decent parking to go with it. We know Cornwall very well and have been coming here for over 30 years so we know all about lanes and tight spaces but unfortunately this one takes the biscuit. So sorry to write this but I feel it is not stressed enough in the description of the property.

The property

A contemporary coastal home with light-filled interiors and clean lines, minutes from the golden sand and pumping surf at Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes.

Quietly tucked away in the heart of this buzzing seaside village, with a good degree of privacy, Turfrick occupies a superb vantage point.

Relax on the south-facing decked terrace and soak up the sea air, and views which swoop over rooftops towards the iconic engine house from which the property derived its name.

Forget the car and venture out on foot!

You will enjoy the luxury of the location with excellent restaurants/bars, old inns, cafes and art galleries within paces.

There is also a local bakers, butchers, greengrocers and convenience store for supplies. Beautiful Trevaunance Cove is your playground and dogs are welcome in all seasons too!

Lifeguarded in the summer months, it is popular among families and little explorers will love the rock pools and the ice cream parlour.

A favoured haunt for surfers, there is a surf school offering tuition for all abilities and equipment hire.

For a romantic dinner, create a memorable experience and book a table at The Driftwood Spars Bistro or Schooners for delicious food with spectacular views over the beach.

Ramblers will rejoice with access to the coastal footpath for stunning cliff walks or to St Agnes Beacon for windswept isolation and epic 360 degree views.

An excellent venue for couples and families and a superb base for exploring with visitor hotspots at St Ives, Padstow, Watergate Bay and Newquay all within easy reach. This gorgeous detached dormer bungalow with an enclosed garden and terraces for barbecues and outdoor living is set back from the road and approached by a stepped path.

Step inside and discover a laid-back beach house style.

Accentuating the coastal feel, large picture windows bathe generous rooms with light and bi-fold doors slide open from the sitting room to the deck for an outside-in atmosphere.

Keep warm beside the fire pit on the sheltered terrace or snuggle up on deep modern sofas beside the warming glow of the wood burner with a good book from the collection provided.

The kitchen dining room is laden with good quality appliances.

There are three comfy bedrooms, a family bathroom with a luxurious tub and a separate shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside you have a surf store shed for beach and other outdoor equipment.
