Mrs Perkins August 2019

“Lovely bungalow in a good location near the train station.”

Extremely well equipped. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Gwyndra Retreat again.
Mrs Jagger August 2019

“Gwyndra Retreat is a great comfortable bungalow with everything on hand including a lovely patio sun trap.”

We love that it’s in walking distance of St Austell and close to the railway and bus station for car free days out. The property is a great base for discovering Cornwall. The hosts are lovely and they provide a tasty welcome pack! We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Gwyndra Retreat (this year and last year) - it’s a great holiday let.
Ms Robertson July 2019

“We had a fabulous holiday in excellent accommodation and in a great location to explore many highlights of Cornwall.”

The bungalow was immaculate and very spacious with all amenities on hand and a lovely sunny garden which we enjoyed every evening after some lovely days out Jackie and Jim were very helpful and friendly and could not have done more to make our stay welcoming in every way A definite one to return to
Mrs Smith June 2019

“The cottage is absolutely stunning, home from home comforts.”

Superb location. Train and bus service right outside your door for travelling to local places if you don't want to drive. Jim and Jackie the owners are really lovely, there if you need them but not intrusive at all.
Mr Coppin May 2019

“HAD A SMASHING HOLIDAY JIM AND HIS WIYE WERE LOVELY”
Mr Collin April 2019

“Gwyndra retreat is perfectly placed as you are central to all area's of Cornwall and the railway station is close by.”

And the accommodation is first rate will be using it again very soon I hope.
Mrs Quinn April 2019

“We had a very relaxing and happy stay and we're delighted that we chose this holiday home.”

We received a really generous welcome of Cornish beer,pasties and buns. It was a great base for exploring the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Cornish coast.
Mrs Martin March 2019

“How central st austell was to the places we wanted to visit.”
Mrs Guest March 2019

“Absolutely perfect.”

Ideal location for visiting lots of places around Cornwall. Plenty of good walks with the dog. Weather was not brilliant but it did not stop us being able to get out. Gwyndra Retreat is a beautiful bungalow. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and we'll equipped. The owners were very welcoming.
Mr Spivey February 2019

“Wonderful bungalow.”

Fully equipped and immaculately clean. Photos do not do it justice. Off street parking in the owners own grounds right outside the property. Superbly located for cornwall's many sights and attractions. The owners couldn't have been more friendly, accommodating and helpful. Excellent holiday thank you.
Mrs Saville October 2018

“Owneers most welcoming.”

We were very comfortable at Gwyndra it was easy to get any direction to enjoy Cornwall
Mrs Armson October 2018

“Perfectly situated for exploring Cornwall”
Mrs Smith September 2018

“This is a great base to explore Cornwall.”

It's clean, warm , comfortable, nicely done & has it's own parking. Owners are very helpful if needed. You can hear thevtrakns but they don't run overnight so not really an issue.
Mrs Hindley September 2018

“The pictures on the site don't do full justice to this lovely bungalow with all it has to offer and the marvellous enclosed garden for the dogs.”

Jim and Jackie could have not been better hosts there if we needed them for anything especially different places to visit but they were also not intrusive so we had our own privacy. We were greeted with a great on arrival and as a fantastic relaxed holiday would advise it to anyone even stepchildren as an amazing part nearby. Local shops within minutes from bungalow and larger shops a very short drive away so all in all perfect.
Mr Doran September 2018

“One of the nicest bungalows we have stopped in.”

A generous sized TV for a start which makes a change. The place was spotless, quiete, and perfect base for visiting elsewhere. Two lovely Cornish pasties, beer and buns were very welcome after a long drive. Would highly recommend.
Mrs Woolf August 2018

“The owners were extremely welcoming with unexpected fresh food and drinks on arrival.”

They also welcomed our extended family to the cottage.
Mrs Weston August 2018

“Lovely house in a great location.”

Would highly recommend.
Mr Jackson July 2018

“Absolutely fantastic place to stay, close to all that Cornwall has to offer.”

Would definitely stay here again.
Miss Heaton July 2018

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

Fantastic welcome thanks to Jim and Jackie
Mrs Preece June 2018

“The cottage was in easy access of both buses and railway so we could have gone further afield if we’d wanted too.”

A lovely private garden which caught the sun till really late. Also an amazing welcome pack which was very gratefully received after a long journey. Everything you could wish for in a perfect holiday.
Mrs Egan June 2018

“We had a lovely holiday in excellent accommodation.”

Jim and Jackie were a delight to meet and very helpful with local knowledge. And of course the pasties were a lovely welcome treat.
Mr Shelley May 2018

“The welcome pack of pasties, beers etc was an unexpected bonus.”

Both proprietors were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Property was spotlessly clean and the beds and settees were really comfortable. Location is only 2 or 3 minutes’ walk from St Austell train and bus station. The only very minor downsides were the trains going past from 6am on weekdays (which we soon got used to), and the fridge was a bit small. A very enjoyable stay.
Mr Hall May 2018

“Best holiday cottage we've ever had the use of.”

About the location

ST. AUSTELL

Charlestown 2 miles; Carlyon Bay 3 miles; Mevagissey 6 miles; Fowey 8 miles.

The old market town of St. Austell lies just a few miles from the south coast, and is famous for its China Clay mining history. Today, home to numerous beaches and sub tropical gardens, it is a popular place for tourists, and families, with plenty to see and do. Get back to nature with the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the ever-popular Eden Project, perfect for a family day out, or discover the delights of Caerhays Castle and Garden, flourishing in the maritime climate. Home to the St. Austell Brewery, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind, while sampling the delights of the local beer, after a tour of the Victorian brewery, and for those who love the surf and sand, St. Austell has plenty of both to choose from. Visit the beautiful sandy beach at Porthpean, or spend time at Carlyon Bay with its ever-popular shingle beach, a favourite for sun worshippers, but if you prefer a dip in the water, Polkerris is the place for you. Situated in a safe cove, it is renowned for variety of watersports. Whether it’s sailing, windsurfing or swimming you're looking for, Polkerris Beach has it all. Charlestown is a pretty, historical port just two miles away, famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, and is well worthy of a visit whilst staying in St. Austell. A short drive will take you to fashionable Fowey or the fishing port of Mevagissey, and with lots to do, and something to keep the whole family entertained, St. Austell is a great year round location.

Note: There are two steps leading to the garden
