“A truly beautiful cottage.”

Spent a very comfortable Christmas week at Little Hendra. Everything we needed (family of 6 and 1 dog) to enjoy our festive stay. The kitchen superbly equipt all you need and more able to cook a perfect Christmas dinner using the range. Spacious room for all. The bath is bliss for a long soak after a hearty beach walk with the dog. Loved the downstairs bedroom me and my partner stayed in there with the dog in his bed having to come back into cottage for toilet made us chuckle and reminded me of ...

You really are out the way beautiful peaceful stunning inside and out. Hosts welcome pack gorgeous and well thought out. Hosts really helpful and approachable. Wifi hit and miss and why people may moan about this i loved a digital detox your on holiday so kick back and enjoy. Totally 100% recommended its clean and a total delight. We had ages from 40 to 80 and it suited all. We will be back.

“We all enjoyed ourselves at Little Hendra ,fantastic location ,lots of places to walk ,comfortable cottage with plenty of space for the 7 of us and 2 dogs , very peaceful and quiet ,glorious weather too which was a bonus ,we love perranporth so will be back .”

“Fantastic house, loved having no one around us.”

It was so peaceful. I would just say it would be good if there was an en-suite in the bedroom downstairs rather than having to go outside and back in the main house to use the toilet in the night. There’s plenty of room to put a loo in. Or just a doorway through into the main house. Other then that, what a lovely lovely place.

We were very pleased to hear you had a lovely stay at Little Hendra. On the booking website within the property description, the location of the external downstairs bedroom is noted and confirms the bathroom is located within the main house. We are sorry if you overlooked this when booking. We hope to see you return in the near future. Owner relations

“It was a lovely location, the house was great but we did feel let down by the mattresses, it seems bizarre that such a place would go for such cheap mattresses which is such an important and vital thing.”

The ones we slept on, well therein lies the issue, throughout the holiday no one slept well. The double/king size mattresses were so soft and lumpy, the one even had a slope! Investing in a good supportive mattress should surely be a priority. If you want happy guests, a good nights sleep is very important, we all ended up with sore backs, very disappointed with this aspect of the holiday

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We were sorry to hear about your experience at Little Hendra. This is certainly not indicative of the high standards we aim to provide for our guests We have taken your comments on board and have now replaced the mattresses throughout the property and are using new mattress protectors and mattress toppers to maximize comfort. This will ensure that Little Hendra will continue to provide first class accommodation. Owner relations

“The scenery was idyllic.”

Very relaxing, whole family had a great time, dog loved the freedom.

“Well it was too isolated and tucked away in a remote albeit beautiful area.”

However there was massive problem as no phone signals and the internet connection did not work so connectivity issues. No basic amenities were provided, like no hand wash or extra toilet roll.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. It was very disappointing to learn of your experience at Little Hendra. This is certainly not indicative of our high standards. Little Hendra is a rural Cornish cottage and its location is transparent in the property details on the booking website. Your booking was made within less than 24 hours of arrival so you may have overlooked the property details in your haste to book. With regards to your technical phone & Wi-Fi issues, we would have been more than happy to assist and advise if we had of been made aware of the issues during your stay. Mobile phone coverage can be patchy in remote & rural areas of Cornwall and may not operate at the level to which you are accustomed. This information is clearly stated in both pre-arrival paperwork and the welcome folder at the property. We have taken your comments on board. Owner relations

“We found cottage and location absolutely brilliant.”

Our two black labs loved the location for walks and spending a fair amount of time on the beach. The cottage it's self provided all we needed for our needs. We did not use the cooking facilities as we frequented all the locally recommended pubs. We had a brilliant time and we will be back.
Mrs Morrison December 2018

“Our family had a wonderful Christmas at "Little Hendra", the cottage was beautiful and met the needs of a family of 8 including 3 kids and 2 dogs.”

The cottage is in a stunning location, remote and peaceful but within a 5 minute drive of Newquay which is where we went most days for dog walks on the beach. Just perfect.
Miss Bonewell September 2018

“It was exactly what it said it would be, a beautiful cottage with amazing views, loads to do and see, dog friendly and just made it an amazing family holiday, will definitely be back for more!”

The property

A true hideaway, this bolthole sits close to Cornwall's north coast amid mellow countryside and is the perfect base for those seeking pure escapism.

Head along winding country lanes and off the beaten track to arrive at this unique setting.

Situated just three miles from Perranporth and eight miles from St Agnes, Little Hendra escapes the crowds with its serene countryside setting in the peaceful hamlet of Treamble.

Tucked away at the end of a private no-through road and surrounded by open farmland, it offers guests a very high degree of privacy and the chance to relax and appreciate life's simple pleasures.

Big and detached, this old farmhouse has been sensitively extended to include four bedrooms for up to seven guests.

Instantly relaxing, interiors are uber smart, comfortable and bathed in natural light.

The farmhouse kitchen dining room is the social hub, all cosy with a stove for cooking your pickings from the local farm shop.

Curl up beside the glow of the wood burner in the sitting room with a book from shelf.

Retire to tranquil bedrooms and be sure of a good nights' sleep with no traffic noise and seriously comfy beds.

Practical for groups, there is an en-suite shower room plus a bathroom with a deep bath tub for post-ramble soaks.

Bask in the peace on the deck in the sheltered and private sun-trap garden complete with a small pond (children must be supervised).

There is also a lawn garden at the rear which children will love.

When you ready to explore the surrounding area you will find plenty of attractions nearby.

The large tract of sandy beach and South West Coast Path at Perranporth is a 10 minute drive.

A mecca for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers, the beach operates a life-guard service during the summer months and pets are permitted year round!

For a wider choice of beaches head to St Agnes, St Ives, Newquay and Watergate Bay and, for children, there is The Blue Reef Aquarium, Dairy Land Farm World, Newquay Zoo, Springfields Park and Pony Centre and Crealy Adventure Park all within easy driving reach.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

Note: Max 6 adults and 2 children.
