“Miner’s Rest is a lovely, well furnished and spacious cottage with a good sized and well equipped kitchen.”

It’s a great location for exploring the nearby walks and mining trails and it’s only a short drive to the coast, in particular we visited the beaches at Portreath and Porthtowan. The owner was very welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Very nice

“Beautiful interior with very nice kitchen and bathroom.”

Modern luxury but has kept the original character of the property .

“What an amazing place - literally everything has been carefully thought about and provided.”

The kitchen is fabulously equipped, there's plenty of space if you're a family sharing or for two couples. Super clean and modern throughout but still retaining lots of character. There's a very handy shop across the road, which was well stocked. The communication with Sam was perfect for us and the customised (vegan) welcome pack was such a lovely gesture. We absolutely loved our time at the Miner's Rest and would not hesitate to re-book.

“My partner, my dog and I rate the Miner's Rest an absolute 10/10!”

Even though the pictures are great already, they don't live up to how amazing this property is in person. We had everything we needed and more! And whenever we were in need of anything, we just popped across the street to get from the shops (which is much bigger than we thought it would be). The property was impeccably clean and so well equipped, for us as well as for our dog. We all felt so comfortable straight upon our arrival and settled in very nicely. The decoration made it feel like a HOME, not just a holiday home. The property owner was great in communicating with us and came back to any questions we had pretty much immediately. I cannot recommend staying in the Miner's rest enough! We will definitely be back.

“We had a wonderful stay in Cornwall - the cottage was spotless/beautifully clean, comfortable, really well stocked and to a high spec.”

We had everything we needed for a week stay, plenty of room and Sam was a fantastic property owner. We received such a warm welcome to the property and felt we received brilliant helpful emails/information ahead of our stay. We felt very reassured with the cleanliness/high standards of protection re covid, thank you. There was plenty of space for two people + 1x dog - the dog had bowls, mat, blankets, towels, poo bags, beds etc provided too, which was very thoughtful. The log fire was great, heated floor brilliant and great shower/bathroom with washing machine facilities too. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend- we’d love to come back! We would advise travelling with a car so you can access towns across Cornwall. It’s central so can head north/south easily. There is no parking at the cottage but fairly accessible street parking nearby, it wasn’t ever a problem for us. The shop next door was extremely handy! Thank you for a fantastic honeymoon!

“Wonderful Cottage.”

Well furnished, comfortable, clean, safe back garden for the dog. Owner was very good and communicated excellently. It’s also situated across the road from a shop with all your basic needs. Location wise it’s great as you are not too far of a drive away from many coastal towns. Also welcomed with scones, jam & clotted cream. Highly recommend.

- Billy, December 2021
Gemma December 2021

“The cottage is beautiful.”

The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots and pans so we could have a lovely mini Christmas dinner. Far better stocked than anywhere else we have stayed. The bathroom is huge. Stunning bath and a large shower cubicle was better than some hotels. The garden was secure for our dogs who particularly enjoyed the underfloor heating in the lounge. There are walks on the moors and woods on your doorstep. Beaches are a quick drive and several supermarkets within a few miles. Parking was never an issue for us but we have no problem walking a few yards to the front door. Sam is a great host. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. No doubt we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at miners rest cottage everything you need was in there very cosy and luxurious wouldn’t hesitate to book again I mark a lower score for cleanliness sure I paid extra charges for covid cleaning was a few things firstly hoovered around and we didn’t have any animals and the amount of dirt and hair collected around the living area / kitchen took a photo it wasn’t good and the floor tiles into kitchen could have done with a really good mop over our friend wiped something up she spilt with kitchen roll and was dirty I still would book again beautiful cottage

- Wendy, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback, We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Miner's Rest and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would like to point out that there are no extra charges for covid related cleaning and can also confirm that the hoover in question is a new one.

“A beautifully appointed and immaculately clean cottage.”

A great deal of time and effort put into making this such a lovely place to stay made it even more enjoyable. I hope to return next year. Thank you so much. C McLeod

“The cottage was modern but also cosy, everything that was required was provided.”

It was lovely to return to such a lovely home after days out, the cottage is perfectly located for beaches and towns. Nearby dog walks were ideal, with options to go further afield. The owner's communication was faultless, detailed information about our stay and they were very quick to respond to any queries. The current situation with COVID regulations have been handled professionally and we felt very safe visiting Miners Rest.

Bethany July 2021

“Miner’s rest was absolutely beautiful and a lovely place to stay!”

It’s in such a great location as is so close to everything we wanted to do when in Cornwall. Was a super dog friendly stay as well and our black lab enjoyed it as much as we did! The house is super spacious and cozy and kept nice and cool on hotter days which was especially good for the dog. We would highly recommend Miner’s Rest!

- Bethany, July 2021
Steven July 2021

“Pictures do not do this lodge justice!”

My family do our fair share of stays around the UK and this is one of the best stays we have had. Very clean accommodation and excellently equipped. Host was fantastic and easy to contact for special requests. There is abit more traffic on the side road than we are used to but it was never a problem. Highly recommend.

- Steven, July 2021
Hayley July 2021

“The cottage had not been cleaned to a high enough standard especially in this current situation.”

I found dirty plates in the cupboard, a hair in the butter dish, thick dust on top of the wardrobes, dust under the sofas & foot stools & the cushion covers on sofas didnt appear to have been washed.

Belinda May 2021

“Fabulous little cottage in a super location for visiting the best parts of Cornwall.”

The owner was perfect in updating myself from start to finish of our vacation via email. The only disadvantage was visiting during school holidays meant the surrounding roads were very busy so having no off road parking was a pain, however this was a minor issue compared to our brilliant stay!!!

- Belinda, May 2021
Yvonne May 2021

“This is a lovely cottage everything you could possibly want ,one small problem was the parking , double yellow lines outside property , very limited parking in side roads although the locals take no notice of lines and there is a constant stream of vehicles parking out the front of property using the shop all day from 7 am till 10 in the evening .”

- Yvonne, May 2021

“The photos don’t do this cottage justice.”

It is a really beautiful, spacious and comfortable cottage. The amount of kitchen equipment is amazing - pretty much everything you would need. The whole cottage really provided them little things you would want to make your week. The small garden is a little sun trap and the seat great for avoiding the wind. The bath was lovely in such a nice relaxing bathroom.

Ivan October 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay at Miners rest.”

..... the cottage was very comfortable, clean, warm & cosy, even the dog enjoyed his bed provided & was the most settled he had ever been on holiday ! We would thoroughly recommend this property , an ideal base to explore the surrounding area from & would stay here again.

Perfectly located to explore Cornwall, both North and South, with eash access to more beaches than you can imagine. The property was absolutely spotless, cosy, comfortable and extremely well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again.

Catherine August 2020

“Cottage excellently placed for travelling all over Cornwall.”

Excellent accommodation with everything you could need and a very conveniently placed shop very nearby! After a full day out we really looked forward to getting back to this cosy cottage to relax ready for the next day.

- Catherine, August 2020
Anna August 2020

“The cottage is really lovely & has everything you could need and more, even with the owner having to remove a lot of things due to Corona Virus.”

. The owner was keen to ensure we had a good stay, e-mailing useful information before we arrived and responding quickly to any queries. The cream tea was much appreciated too! The owner also sent detailed information about the measures taken to prevent risk of Corona virus, which was very reassuring. The sofa was exceptionally cofortable & the cottage really well appointed. The only reason we didn't give 5 out of 5 on comfort is the mattresses were slightly firm for us, but then we do prefer a soft mattress. This iis a personal preference so don't let it put you off. We highly recommend this cottage,

- Anna, August 2020
Sheena July 2020

“What a beautiful comfortable little cottage, every need was catered for and I am sure if anything else was required the owner Sam would happily accommodate.”

The property is to a very high standard what you see in the advertised photographs is exactly what it is like. When we arrived there were fresh flowers in the window making it look and feel very welcoming and homely. There were also scones with jam and cream awaiting for us in the kitchen which went down a treat after our long journey. I would definitely stay at Miner’s Rest in the future and would also recommend it to friends and family.

“The Miner's Rest holiday cottage is a little gem situated in a great location for exploring all the nooks and crannies of Cornwall.”

It's very spacious, clean and has everything you need, even dog baskets and blankets for your four legged friends.

Helena June 2019

“This was our second stay at Miner’s Rest as the first experience was so great!”

We stayed for over 4 weeks in total while we relocated to Cornwall, and this house couldn’t have been better for us. I was worried about staying in a holiday cottage for this length of time as they are often not equipped for longer stays and more than a week can be frustrating, however this was not the case and we could have happily moved in permanently! This was truly a home from home for us and staying here was a pleasure.

- Helena, June 2019
Helena June 2019

“This is an amazing cottage!”

It is tastefully decorated, very high quality furnishings and very well thought out. It is even better than the pictures look and we felt very welcome, thank you. Really well equipped kitchen in terms of utensils, crockery, pans etc. Great quality linen. Beautiful bathroom. Loads of useful stuff for our dog (he felt very welcome too!). WiFi was spot on, no issues with streaming Netflix etc. And lots of extras you don’t necessarily expect but make the stay even better, like a TV in the kitchen diner, ice maker, lots of storage, and areas to sit in addition to the lounge (if you can tear yourself away from the sofa and woodburner!).

- Helena, June 2019
F May 2019

“This was a very last minute booking and we couldn't believe what a stunning cottage we found ourselves in.”

From the beautiful local art on the walls to the coffee machine and dog covers for the chairs, everything had been thought of and carefully arranged by the very helpful owner to give us a relaxing stay. Having a convenience store and excellent chip shop right around the corner and a children's small park and beautiful woods for dog walks just down the road made this ideal for our family. Thank you!
