“The cottage is pretty, and was warm and ok but we was unable to use the cookers induction hob the whole week we did manage to use the oven, there are no instructions how to use at all even with covid rules a laminated wipeable set of instructions would have been really useful , likewise no instructions for the microwave,dishwasher,washing machine, tv etc luckily we was ok to figure these out but maybe some people might not be able too.”

...

The tv was set up for netflix but no code so couldnt use, just little things like that all help in making the holiday, On leaving I stripped the bed of the duvet cover pillowcases and sheet -there was only a sheet ontop of the mattress and wasnt to keen to see the mattress has horrible stains on it made me feel abit queasy. Off rd parking is always something we choose , we found the driveway difficult hadnt realised it raises up and has low stone walls either side at the start It proved incredibly difficult for us as we have a really wide, low to the ground sports car i know we are more of a minority and the majority of people in their cars may find it ok , the other drawback a couple of times we found people parked opposite the drive on the narrow rd outside and then we could neither get in or out anyway of the drive . Our first night , wasnt to happy expected a quiet evening but as we watched tv kept hearing loud voices , singing music etc went to bed but somewhere after 11 the music stopped from the pub but gone midnight people still loud walking up the rd , and to the car park as the car park is directly opposite the cottage and raised , at night the car lights shine directly into the bedroom-yes there is curtains and a blind but it was a nuisance, The cottage is in a area that means it's easy to drive out to lots of other places to visit and walking from the cottage is also good The welcome pack was very nice and thoughtful, Overall the cottage for us was hit and miss However , we are all different people so something we wasnt keen on etc may not bother others , we realise the drive issue might not bother most people. Oh and the bath drips all the time so wastes lots of water -not just one drip at a time -lots. All in all we enjoyed our holiday as we was able to get out visit places once lockdown happened plenty of walking from the cottage, just wouldn't book the cottage again . I have given just a honest opinion and not trying to be horrible about things

“Perfect cosy cottage for a couple in a glorious part of Cornwall.”

Had everything we needed. St Agnes is a lovely village. Great brew pub on your doorstep and easy access to the SW Coastal Path.

“We have stayed at Wheal Dream in the winter of 2018 so knew what to expect of the cottage and even with the Covid changes it met our expectations and needs.”

Whilst the check in time had been put back an hour for extra cleaning that was felt understandable and acceptable. We stayed elsewhere the following week through another company and check in time was 7pm which I would not agree to again and therefore not book. The cottage is very comfortable, in an ideal location with great access to the cove and beach, coast path and walk up into town. Bonus is the parking space. It would be good to have a stand up shower rather than the handheld over the bath with no screen but realise ceiling height is the issue and personal choice. Shame the downstairs toilet isn’t a shower room as the cottage only accommodates 2 people so having 1 toilet would suffice. There are places to eat on the doorstep so you could stay down at the cove but there are wonderful places to eat in the village with Taste a must and the crab rolls from the Deli exceptional. St Agnes felt safe to be in and lifeguards were on the beach. Would definitely book again.

The property

Perfectly positioned near the beach, pubs and cafes, this cute as a button cottage makes a great escape for two.

Wheal Dream is in north coast favourite St Agnes; a fabulous village with a beachy vibe and plenty of local charm.

Pootle down to Trevaunance Cove for a morning swim then enjoy breakfast in the cafe overlooking the beach.

Lifeguarded in the summer months, the cove is home to a surf school catering for all ages and abilities.

Chapel Porth and Porthtowan beaches and the small pebbly cove at Trevellas are also within easy reach by car or along the coastal path which runs through the cove. Why not leave the car on the drive for the week and make the most of the local activities and produce on offer!

From butchers and bakery to greengrocers, florist and pharmacy, there really is no need to go to the supermarket.

In the evenings you can choose from lobster at Taste, good pub grub or even a take away pizza from the Cornish Pizza Company!

If you enjoy beer then don't miss the Driftwood Spars with its own micro-brewery just a few moments' walk from the cottage.

Inside the cottage is brimming with charm with white washed walls, small pane windows and original features.

In the evening, unwind in the sitting room then climb the dinky stairs to the bedroom with king size bed and perfect linens.

There is a lovely large en-suite bathroom with freestanding claw foot bath, great for relaxing at the end of the day.

The sunny garden at the front of the cottage is south west facing, making it the perfect spot for reclining with a book or that early evening G & T!
