“Lovely bungalow for our holiday.”

Everything you could need was there and it was bright and comfortable. My only small point was the bed was smaller than we are used to ie.kingsize. But we were very happy at Suntrap.

“The best cottage we have ever stayed in.”

Beautifully presented, and furnished to a very high standard throughout. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need (I always take decent scissors, can opener, veg peeler etc with me, but didn't even get them out of the bag). We were all (including Missy our 11 month old puppy) made welcome from the moment we arrived. Extra touches like the cream tea provided by the owners, and welcome treats for Missy, really made this a week we will never forget. We highly recommend having a meal at the village pub (a few minutes walk away), staff are very friendly, the food is reasonably priced, and, beautifully cooked. There's a village shop opposite the pub, but we found this a bit pricey. However, there are several major supermarkets locally, meaning we were able to get everything we needed for our stay very easily. Plenty of visitor attractions nearby, many of which are very dog friendly. We visited a couple of local beaches Par Sands & Porthpean (some restrictions are in place during the summer months at Porthpean) both were beautiful, clean, and dogs friendly. Par Sands was our go to beach, unlike Porthpean it's dog friendly all year round, with no restrictions on when dogs can use it. Par Sands is easy to access, off a main road and has ample parking even on busy days. The only problem we had with this location was, trying to pay for parking, which was only accessible through the Ringo app, which incorporates what they call a convenience charge (20p) for using the service and charges for texts to confirm you've paid etc (50p in total, additional charges, for using the service and text confirmations). Thank you for a truly memorable holiday that we didn't want to end!

“A great little modern bungalow, Very clean, light and airy with very good facilities.”

My wife is severely disabled but she encountered few problems in what I would describe as a disabled friendly property. It is well named as the suntrap courtyard had sun from breakfast till supper. Our hosts Fran and John were lovely and so keen to make sure we had no issues and thank you Fran for the welcoming cream tea! Finally, the property is in Sticker which is quite unspoilt and very friendly.

“Suntrap Hideaway is absolutely gorgeous.”

It really is a Suntrap and a hideaway if you want peace and privacy and comfort. Very helpful owners next door. The village is lovely with a great pub and good convenience store within easy walking distance , plenty of dog walking locally. Situated on the peninsula of Cornwall it’s easy to get to beaches on the north and south coast.

“Had a really lovely stay at Suntrap Hideaway.”

Fran was very welcoming and helped with anything we needed whilst we stayed. The property was very clean and was great for the dogs with the garden too. The location was brilliant as it’s very close to a lot of places we wanted to visit in Cornwall, most places are just a short drive away. Had an excellent week and would love to stay there again!

Pete September 2022

“Such a lovely place to stay.”

The lovely, friendly owner is close enough to be on hand if needed, but not intrusive. Everything you could possibly need and more is provided. The enclosed paved garden is ideal if you have a dog. Great location for days out all over Cornwall. We've just returned from a week's stay and will certainly being staying again next year.

“This was our 2nd time to Suntrap hideaway.”

The owners have thought of everything. Even the dogs have a welcome pack and towels. We explored much of Cornwall as the cottage is in an ideal place to get to anywhere within an hour. Although the owners are next door it does not feel you are being watched. You would not even know they are there. Wi-Fi is really good connection. Will not hesitate to stay here next time we come to Cornwall.

Sandra September 2020

“A beautiful cottage I in Cornwall.”

, it had everything we needed and the enclosed patio was a bonus as we could sit out with our two dogs and not worry about then escaping. The owner was near in case we needed anything,we did on one occasion and she was so helpful. Near the children's play park was an enclosed field that you can take dogs in to have a run around etc,so useful. Loved our holiday and would recommend Sun trap cottage. We hopefully will go back again. Just perfect. Sandy and Jenny and two dogs Willow and Bramble.

- Sandra, September 2020
Tina September 2020

“What can I say about this amazing place except its fantastic, in a perfect location for peaceful quiet, relaxing holiday.”

Only noise in the morning was an owl hooting.Lovely comfortable bungalow that has everything and I mean everything you need for a perfect holiday.The owner Fran had left a welcome pack for us including a cream tea which was most welcome after a long drive. Centrally placed to explore the south coast, not far from St Austell, Mevagissey etc. Amazing beaches nearby, a visit to Porthpean should be done. We will definitely be going back.

- Tina, September 2020
Janet August 2020

“Home from home cottage with everything provided that you could possibly want.”

Immaculately clean and nice little courtyard for the dogs to have a mooch in. Cream tea on arrival was much appreciated. Very good location for exploring Cornwall with good road access close by. Village of Sticker has handy little shop and pub providing excellent food within walking distance of cottage

- Anne-marie, December 2019
Michelle October 2019

“The cottage is really well equipped.”

Absolutely everything you need is there. Even foil and cling film, things that can end up costing a lot on your first shop. The welcome pack was indeed very welcome and included some treats for all 3 dogs. A nice touch. The cottage is next to the owners cottage but they are not instruísse in any way whatsoever. It was just lovely.

- Michelle, October 2019
Christopher September 2019

“Lovely, comfortable cottage set in quiet village with lots of enjoyable, local walks to enjoy with my dog.”

Situated just outside St Austell, it was placed conveniently for exploring all areas of Cornwall with Lands End in the west, Looe in the east and Newquay in the north, all accessible within an hours drive. Mevagissey is less than 5 miles away and nearby are several sheltered coves and beaches. Local village has convenience store and dog friendly pub, and there is even a stock of popular paperbacks and DVDs available to borrow at the village bus stop. The cottage has all the facilities for either using as a base or to enjoy quiet times in the secure garden. The owner, Fran, lives in an adjacent house and is so friendly and welcoming. Fran even provides a welcome pack on essentials and a cream tea to see guests through their first night. Thorough enjoyable accommodation and locality. I heartily recommend Suntrap Hideaway to all holiday makers.

- Christopher, September 2019
Linda September 2019

“Fantastic holiday all made much better by Suntrap Hideaway and the host Francis.”

Francis was truly lovey, the cream tea on arrival was a bonus and she was so friendly and full of advise on where to go, nothing was too much trouble. Loved it that much we tried to book again for next year while we were still there but unfortunately it is fully booked

- Linda, September 2019

“Suntrap Hideaway was a real home from home.”

The location was ideal to explore the south of Cornwall. Fran was there to greet us on arrival and we settled in very quickly. It was very clean and homley. We had some basic provisions left for us along with a welcome cream tea which we all enjoyed. We would all highly recommend a stay at Suntrap Hideaway.

“The Local Pubs do excellent food, the location is great for exploring Cornwall the paved courtyard worked wonderfully with our 3 dogs, on the down side the cottage was so warm and cosy even though it was cold enough for hale sleet and a little snow, we never needed to light the log fire.”

There is a quiet beach 7 miles away perfect for the dogs. The cream tea and essentials in the fridge and treats for the dogs when we arrived was just part of the way we were made to feel at home during our stay.

- Emma, March 2019
Alison March 2019

“Home was comfortable.”

Welcome cream tea, ham, milk, cheese and dog treats were a lovely touch. Ideal location for coastal walks, local friendly pubs. Owners live next door which was advantageous when there was a problem with the heating which they immediately resolved. Home benefits from an enclosed patio/seating area secure for the dogs.

- Alison, March 2019
Peter February 2019

“The property was ideal for us and our 9 month old puppy containing all that we needed.”

The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, even to fitting in a grooming session for our dog. The dog-walking field in the village was very useful and the village pub was not only within walking distance but also welcomed dogs and served excellent, well-priced food. We ate there twice and on one occasion had a group of male Cornish singers performing. An excellent background to the meal. We would love to return.

- Peter, February 2019
Shaun December 2018

“Beautiful, clean cottage.”

Underfloor heating throughout made it warm and cosy at night. Log burner was a nice addition. We had that on every night, got too warm even at this time of year. Had to open patio doors at 1 point. Fran was really helpful with any info on beaches for our 3 mad Spaniels and other places of interest. Never bothered us once even though she was only next door. She really respected our privacy. Lively welcome pack for us and the dogs as well. We will definitely be returning for a summer visit. Lived it. Thank you Fran.

Keith October 2018

“This was 'home from home'.”

Lovely accommodation, lovely location and a cream tea on arrival (as well as milk, bread, ham & cheese)! Very friendly community and welcoming 'local' the Hewas Inn. All dog friendly which suited our little Cairn Terrier - even a secure exercise green less than ten minutes walk away. Very convenient for a visit to the 'Lost gardens of Heligan' and to the 'Eden Project'. The neighbouring Polgooth Inn offers another welcoming environment only a mile and a half away. We left for home with very fond memories.

“Fran and John were both really welcoming and there a lovely welcome pack for both humans and dogs on arrival.”

Garden was really secure for the dogs and the property was ideal if the dogs had wet feet as it is all tiled. The instructions for finding the property were clear and accurate. It is situated in an ideal location to provide a variety of days out. We have already made a reservation to return again next year.

Marsaili April 2018

“As dog friendly a cottage, and owners of cottage, as you can get!”

A real pleasure! If you are worried the hard surface in the garden is not wholly suitable for your dog, don't be, there is enclosed grass they let you use. Also fully accessible, although no hand rails etc everything else was spot on for me with my mobility issues. The name is absolutely true! Sun all day on the patio and sun into the cottage but it didn't overheat either. It is really peaceful there and they really have thought of everything, and if they haven't, they would bend over backwards to accommodate and sort. Wonderful location for seeing the coast of St Austell, Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and so much more besides.

- Marsaili, April 2018
Steve March 2018

“Ideal location for us, not far from many places we wanted to see.”

A very short walk to the village pub the Hewas Inn, good beer and good food, a must visit if you stay here. Very comfortable, the open plan works well and we appreciated the under floor heating, the wood burner was used as Easter a bit colder but any excuse! All very clean and modern. We didnt take a dog, but is dog friendly was quite surprised how dog welcoming Cornwall was. Staycationing should be? Will re visit.

The property

Newly built to a high-specification, Suntrap Hideaway occupies a secluded position in the pretty village of Sticker, three miles from Cornwall's golden Riviera coastline, next to the owner's residence from which it is well screened.

A village hideaway which promotes relaxation and is less than a 15 minute drive from the coastal footpath and white-sand beaches at Porthpean and Pentewan, the romantic port of Charlestown, the renowned Eden Project, the award winning Lost Gardens of Heligan and an 18 hole golf course.

The interior design is presented to an excellent standard.

Glamourous furnishings, sleek glossy finishes and a light and airy ambience give this detached and spacious bungalow a striking and contemporary edge.

A special feature is the hidden courtyard garden which is a huge attraction for sun worshippers and its enclosed perimeter offers peace of mind for parents and dog owners.

The wood burner is a stylish statement and combines with under floor heating to provide cosy accommodation for winter breaks.

Both bedrooms are equipped with seriously comfortable mattresses and share a large bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower and a bath (with shower attachment).

Scenic walks can commence from the front door step and nearby at Pentewan Valley along peaceful woodland and riverside trails.

The cycle hire facilities at Pentewan are popular among families as the trails are both traffic free and level and there are picnicking areas en-route.

There is a children's play park 200 yards from the property and on wet weather days the bustling town of St Austell (3 miles) offers a cinema, bowling alley and indoor facilities at Kidzworld.

The village boasts an award winning inn/restaurant and a convenience store/post office and Cornwall's capital city of Truro, exclusive waterfront town of Fowey and fishing village of Mevagissey are all within a 10 mile radius.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

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, just a mile or two from the south coast, is famous as the historic centre of the china clay mining industry. Today, its many beaches and its sub-tropical gardens provide plenty to see and do. The wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are perfect for a family day out, and a little further afield Caerhays Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Porthluny Cove. On the edge of town, St Austell Brewery offers tours of the Victorian brewing equipment and a chance to sample the local beer, and for those looking for surf and sand, St Austell Bay has several beaches to choose from - Porthpean, Carlyon Bay, Pentewan, Polkerris - the last offering a variety of water-sports. As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location. A little further afield are Fowey and its beautiful estuary to the east and the fishing port of Mevagissey to the west. With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
