Lucy 
“Whilst the property is lovely and finished to a high standard, cleanliness lets it down, it needs a thorough deep clean.”
There was no way to request a travel cot before arrival, the app doesn’t provide the option and despite adding an infant to the booking there was no cot set up, luckily we took our own. The stair gates weren’t complete, they were difficult to install and unreliable, would highly recommend replacing with the type that roll away. Overall cleanliness was poor, dirty mirrors, evidence of animal hair/dust/debris around the edges of the bedroom, dusty skirting boards, cobwebs in all the skylight ...

Overall cleanliness was poor, dirty mirrors, evidence of animal hair/dust/debris around the edges of the bedroom, dusty skirting boards, cobwebs in all the skylight windows, it needed a seriously good hoover, filters in the vacuum need a good clean too! Fridge needs a filter change (visible bacteria growth around water dispenser), kettle needs cleaning, dishwasher not washing properly even on the intensive program things came out dirty (does anyone clean the filters?), all little things that add to the overall picture of hygiene. Things we liked: good coffee machine, lots of kitchen utensils, high chair, comfortable sofa, bbq, wood burner, effective heating, no damp at all., owner was communicative when we reached out. Things we didn’t like: no parking, bedsheets (polyester feels awful to sleep in), overall cleanliness, dangerously hot towel radiator with no control to adjust, stair gates not fit for purpose.
- Lucy, April 2025Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the property. Had we been made aware of the issues you have raised during your stay, we would have done our very best to rectify them for you during your stay . We could have arranged for our housekeeper to attend the property, to address any cleanliness issues and to assemble the cot for you. We will discuss your comments with our housekeeper. The stairgates, do need to be looked at, the wooden blocks to secure them have been knocked off, so we will look into this. The hoover has now been replaced with a new one. It does state on the website that parking is on street parking, so this will be subject to availability and on a first come first served basis. The bed sheets are polycotton sheets and we have not received any complaints from any previous guests. Property Owner

Helen “The cottage was very clean.”
Kept to a very high standard. Well equipped with top rate equipment, no cheap cooking pans etc. Really spacious. Comfortable bed, which I always think is a must. Even provided beds for the dogs, although our little one preferred the couch. Covers provided, although we always take our own. The only thing that l would say is that the stair gate needs to be attached permanently as we had to keep propping it up to stop the dogs going upstairs. Really enjoyed our stay and not too far away from our family. Also not too far from Portreath, which we visit a lot. Helen, Richard and 2 dogs.

Gemma “This property is the best we have ever stayed in .”
.. Firstly the presentation and cleanliness was excellent. The property is a very spacious size with everything you could ever need during a time away, fully equipped and beyond! Log burner worked wonderfully, and the bath was divine. Great location for coastal towns North and South. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
- Gemma, September 2024 -
Debbie “Miner’s Rest was everything we could have wished for, and more!”
It was immediately obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the needs of guests, and the owners should be commended for their attention to detail! However, it is highly unlikely that we shall be making a return visit due to the lack of parking available! We arrived on Friday evening, and parked in front of the property, and the car remained there over Saturday night. On the Sunday morning, our car was ticketed by a traffic enforcement officer who pointed out that the double yellow lines, which appeared to have been painted over and were barely, were still live and so we were obliged to pay the £35 fine! Finding a parking space close to the property was the cause of much frustration, given that we had my 80 year old mother-in-law with us! Thumbs up for the property, but thumbs firmly down for the lack of parking!
- Debbie, September 2024 -
Frank “We had a great time at a great cottage!”
Our two big dogs fitted in easy en we made great walks form the cottage itself. A lot to see and do within a circle of 25 miles and beyond. The well equiped cottage was a very good base and filled all our expectations. Good firm bed, good kitchen, nice living space. Our suggestion is to replace the couch in the living space, the sitting is a bit soft.
- Frank, August 2024 -
Christina “We had a wonderful stay in your cottage.”
We didn't miss anything and we would be happy to go back there again anytime.
- Christina, July 2024 -
Nikki “We loved our brief stay.”
Just one thing amiss there was a bowl of congealed food left in the microwave
- Nikki, July 2024 -
Philip “Miners Rest was a wonderful property to stay in.”
Sam has done a fantastic job with the decor and top end accessories. We couldn't have been happier with our stay and the communication we recieved. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to returning to Cornwall soon.
- Philip, June 2024 -
Sarah “What a great holiday cottage!”
We stayed for a week in June and had a fantastic holiday. The cottage is bigger than expected with everything you need for a self catering holiday, the kitchen was very well equipped. Only downside is Troon doesn’t have much except a Morrisons daily right over the road. A visit to Croust Hut by the mine for breakfast is a must. Parking is a bit tricky but we always found a spot in the road behind Morrisons. Would visit again!
- Sarah, June 2024 -
Nigel “We loved the cottage.”
So comfy and equipped with everything you might need. Super dog friendly as well - not stayed anywhere before where dog beds are provided! Great location means north, south and east coasts are within easy reach; and lovely walk on the doorstep (the Great Flat Lode). Parking is a bit awkward but only a minor inconvenience. Highly recommend!
- Nigel, May 2024 -
George “Fabulous cottage in a quiet village, this is our 3rd stay here and we will return again for sure.”
Such a beautiful space inside this seemingly small cottage. Every detail has been carefully thought of by the owner. Amazing shower and comfortable beds too. We found the woods near Pendarves Equestrian just down the road we're a magical spot to walk our spaniel with a stream running through and all the bluebells were out. We'll be back again at this time next year to do it all again as we couldn't fault a single thing
- George, April 2024 -
Ann “Third time running at mine rest so obviously we liked it that much to go again will be going next year”
- Ann, March 2024 -
Olivia “We had a brilliant stay at the miners rest, property was clean and welcoming.”
The dogs loved the heated floor and we loved the coffee machine! The kitchen was very well equipped. The bathroom was absolutely gorgeous. We did find cleaning the bath out after a little difficult with no shower attachment so maybe this could be looked into. We would all 100% recommend the miners rest and would definitely come back in the future.
- Olivia, March 2024 -
Stefano “The cottage was much more spacious than we expected based on the pictures we saw yet cause and with a very nice feeling throughout.”
Really well designed and with all the mod coms. I was personally impressed with how well equipped the kitchen was with utensils, pots and pans so that I could actually cook in there. Great property!
- Stefano, December 2023 -
Tina “The cottage is lovely, very spacious, comfortable and if you’re doing a winter break cosy and warm.”
We will definitely go back. The parking was a bit tricky but having Morrisons opposite saved me so much time with shopping!
- Tina, November 2023 -
Matthew “Very well provided holiday cottage with a giant bath tub.”
The only thing we had to fix was the batteries in the TV remote control and as there is a 24 hour Morrisons just next door that made it very easy in deed!!! Thank you :)
- Matthew, October 2023 -
Chris “Miners Rest is absolutely brilliant.”
It was much bigger and more spacious than I imagined. It certainly has a luxurious feel to it and has absolutely everything you need and more! I will certainly be checking availability if I'm in the area again. Compared with other places I've stayed I felt like this was a bargain for what you get.
- Chris, October 2023 -
Alanna “Beautiful home from home!”
We have stayed in many holiday cottages and miners rest has to be the most homely warm and welcoming we have stayed in. It just has a wonderful warmth and instantly makes you feel at home. The bathroom is beautiful and the shower is amazing !!!! Great facilities with in the house everything you need for a comfortable holiday! Loved the ice and fresh filtered water from the fridge. The location is fab so many beautiful places to walk within a short drive to all our favourite Cornish spots ! Our two gsps had an amazing holiday and loved the beds that had been provided. If your thinking of booking this lovely home please do you won't be disappointed :)
- Alanna, September 2023 -
Emma-lauren “This holiday cottage lived upto expectations I read about it when I booked.”
Everything was clean on arrival and the added touches of the cream tea were a lovely welcome. We had a very enjoyable stay and the facilities were lovely. The pictures don’t do it justice and everything was well thought of to provide a relaxing holiday. The only slight downside would be the parking but we were very lucky to get a close space every day. Great central location and we managed to visit so many places without travelling more than one hour or so. We will be back!!
- Emma-lauren, September 2023 -
Debbie “Cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable to stay.”
Great base for exploring.
- Debbie, September 2023 -
David “Amazing Cottage owner thought of everything and very spacious.”
Great to have the garden. The clotted cream scones, jam, milk, biscuits lovely. We forgot tea bag but all was provided. Loved it all and the beautiful bathroom. Great base to explore we done it all. We couldn't park outside but found a space in next road every day. We found it very quiet. 3 min dog walk to the left and little playground. Country Man Inn 6 mins from house to the right old traditional pub with great food & people. Morrison's express across road for great for take away breakfast. Cambourne town center 2 mile away quite a few shops and Weatherspoon's :) Read the manual as useful information. I definitely recommend and would love to return next year. Thank you for a lovely stay.
- David, August 2023 -
Paul “Can confirm that property lives up to expectations.”
Modern tasteful furnishing and extremely well equipped. Has everything you could want really. Really enjoyed the walk-in shower. The central location was perfect for exploring the area. The morrisons shop right across the road was a nice bonus. We were only able to park right outside the property a couple of time but were always able to grab a spot just round the corner opposite the shop ...an inconvenience of about 15m :-) Definitely recommend and next time we revisit the area hope to stay again.
- Paul, August 2023 -
Val “Just returned from a fantastic week in Miners Rest.”
The cottage is like home from home, very well equipped including blankets/bedding for your doggie! I have never stayed at a cottage where literally everything is on hand! The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom is fantastic you even have a full size bath separate from the shower. There is a Morrisons express across the road that has a lovely bakery in the morning for fresh bread. We will definitely return to this cottage at some point as you are also very close to the beautiful places of interest.
- Val, August 2023 -
Louise “The only issue we had was the off street parking.”
We had to drive around several time and then ended up parking several street away, which wasn’t ideal with having two dogs and bags to carry.
- Louise, June 2023 -
C A “Had a lovely stay.”
property has everything you need. One down side property not having a parking space. On arrival unloading the car a traffic warden wanted to issue a ticket, after a discussion he told us to move the car. We found it difficult to find another parking space.
- C A, June 2023 -
Samantha “We had a lovely stay at Miner’s Rest.”
The property had everything you could need/want. The layout and size was perfect for our family (1 child & 2 dogs). The corner shop was very handy. The parking on the street was always available you just might have to go down a bit from the house and walk up but not an issue at all. The location worked and we travelled to & visited many parts of Cornwall. St Ives is less than 1/2 hour away and was one of our favourites! Overall our stay was lovely and we will be back. The only thing to raise and isn’t an issue or concern but the owners might want to know, is that the hallway/entrance had a smell, which sometimes came into the lounge. This wouldn’t impact us staying again but perhaps a deep clean might solve :)
- Samantha, June 2023 -
Tom “A lovely property with lots of space.”
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed, the beds were comfortable and the deep, freestanding bath was a welcome treat at the end of a long day of exploring Cornwall.
- Tom, May 2023 -
Elizabeth “A delightful cottage set in a pleasant village with shop close by.”
Very clean and well maintained.
- Elizabeth, May 2023 -
Yvonne “This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Miners Rest, it was like coming home.”
We love it here. Nice Sunny Garden, excellent facilities. Near Camborne, but central to getting to all other areas/beaches. Massively dog friendly, with food bowls, beds, throws, walks near by. Shop across the road, chip shop in next village Beacon. Very happy there. We will be back.
- Yvonne, May 2023 -
Lisa “What a perfect little cottage this is!”
We had a nicest stay at Miners Rest. Even on a rainy day we had the best fun with the log burner, Cornwall monopoly with the kids in such a cosy setting. Perfect location for exploring Cornwall with my family & furr friend. The owners really have thought of everything in their cottage. Big & Small dogs! The scones & goodies were greatly received & I hope I put the bedsheets on the right wash when I left.
- Lisa, April 2023 -
George “Fabulous Cornish cottage in the heart of a lovely village.”
Miner's Rest is better than a home from home, the beautiful interior is so thoughtfully finished to throughout with everything you need and more. Calming contained and comfortable rear garden which is a real sun trap. We loved returning here after days out in the area. Could always find parking at the rear of the very convenient Morrisons Daily literally across the road. We can't wait to rebook and will make Miner's Rest our first choice for our Cornwall holidays forever now. Highly recommended to all of our friends and family. The owner Sam provided detailed information before we arrived and was great at responding to an enquiry we made too. Can't wait to return!
- George, March 2023 -
Craig “Brilliant place to stay!”
Sam is an excellent host and owns a lovely property! No complaints, would be happy to stay time and time again!
- Craig, February 2023 -
Trudi “A warm cosy welcoming cottage with everything we needed for our stay and much more.”
Would highly recommend. Perfect location for exploring west Cornwall.
- Trudi, December 2022 -
Duncan “Really enjoyed our stay again.”
My only issue was the very firm mattress and pillows. We bought pillows to make it more comfortable to sleep. Apart from that, no complaints. Beautiful house, very comfortable.
- Duncan, October 2022 -
Kelvin “Excellent cottage, a busy area but was fine for us.”
Very clean, very comfortable, home from home. Would recommend this cottage.
- Kelvin, September 2022 -
Rachel “This property really has the wow factor when you walk in.”
The living space is vast and the kitchen is gorgeous and well equipped. So much thought into what is needed when you're on holiday. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. There are a few disappointments and I loved this cottage but parking is tricky and I knew this when I booked. Not much you can do about it which I understand. The email I received from the owner was really appreciated and they mentioned their housekeeper has very high standards but I can't agree with this. There was a big cobweb around the fire extinguisher in the kitchen- looked like it had been there a while too, also cobwebs in the bathroom. The microwave could of had a wipe over- removing the dust. The fruit bowl (ornament on the dining table) had a long curly hair in. The garden had a number of weeds which just need to be attended to. The clothes rail in the bedroom was dusty. The handsoap in the bathroom ran out on the 4th day which was a surprise when there was only 2 of us and we were out for most of the day. I know these things sound trivial but it does make a difference to your holiday experience. If the property owner isn't aware of the above issues then they can't rectify them for future guests.
- Rachel, September 2022 -
Lin “We had a lovely stay at miners rest which is so homely clean and has everything needed, Sam has thought of so many extras that you find you may need while on holiday that most cottages don’t supply, plus the gorgeous scones jam and cream.”
The cottage itself has been renovated beautifully by Sam which makes it so unique. Plenty of spaces to park and yes it’s near the corner shop where there are people stopping and parking to visit it but really this isn’t a issue at all inside you don’t hear the road noise which isn’t a busy main road it’s so relaxing and quiet inside the cottage and garden. It’s has many lovely walks nearby our favourite being The Loe Bar Beach and The Loe lakes walks, there are a lots of lovely NTrust places to visit locally too. The nearest fish and chips, always a must when on holiday, was Cousin’s Jacks they were lovely. We will definitely return to Miners Rest when we want to holiday in Cornwall again wouldn’t even think about looking for a different cottage as you wouldn’t find another as nice as this one. Thank you Sam for making our stay so relaxing and lovely eve on the rainy days. Our dog gave it the thumbs up too he felt very welcome.
- Lin, September 2022 -
Caroline “The parking wasn’t good, the designated space at the back of the property was still too small for our small car.”
The area was constantly busy - cars going past all night.
- Caroline, August 2022Hi, we don't have a designated car parking space, we advertise on-street parking, so we are not sure where you were parking. We apologise for any noise disturbances but these are obviously out of our control. It is a village so we are surprised to hear this. Property Owner

Ndidi “Absolutely Fabulous.”
Was so good, the first thing i did when i arrived home was to book again for next year. Home from home, clean comfortable, everything you could possibly want/need is provided. Milk, biscuits and cream tea left was a nice touch. Location served as a great base to explore different parts of cornwall.
- Ndidi, July 2022 -
Russell “Miners rest is a lovely cottage so much so the wife has been given ideas.”
It makes for a ideal base in order to explore Cornwall. There wasn’t anything the cottage needed apart from some bin liners and maybe some bleach for cleaning the toilet. It has given us the bug for holiday cottages, but next time we will be looking for somewhere closer to the beach aswell as parking and a more a tourist area.
- Russell, July 2022 -
Laura “Amazing stay at the Miner’s Rest cottage.”
Sam is highly organised and gave us every bit of information we needed. The cottage was very homely and welcoming. As a family (including the dogs) had an excellent holiday and will definitely return in the future.
- Laura, June 2022 -
Chris “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.
- Chris, April 2022 -
Eddie “Excellent property and facilities clean comfortable and some nice touches with welcoming pack.”
- Eddie, April 2022 -
Deborah “Home away from home.”
Very nice
- Deborah, March 2022 -
Ann “Beautiful interior with very nice kitchen and bathroom.”
Modern luxury but has kept the original character of the property .
- Ann, March 2022 -
Sara “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.
- Sara, March 2022 -
Anna “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.
- Anna, January 2022 -
Lorna “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!
- Lorna, January 2022 -
Billy “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 “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.
- Gemma, December 2021 -
Wendy “We had a wonderful stay at miners rest cottage everything you need was in there ...”
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 2021Thank 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. We have since spoken to housekeeping and all is in good order. We look forward to your next visit with us. Property Owner

Christine “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
- Christine, October 2021 -
Sally Anne “Lovely cottage very well equipped and cleaned to a very high standard.”
Secure garden for dog. Would certainly recommend. Well situated for visiting both south and north cornwall
- Sally Anne, October 2021 -
Anthony “One of the best cottages we have stayed in.”
Excellent facilities, very dog friendly, lovely local walks. We enjoyed a lovely cream tea left by Sams team, amazingly clean “spotless” very comfortable, very relaxing very much returning Tony & Dawn
- Anthony, September 2021 -
Paul “The house is prepared and finished to a very high standard and was a great base from which to explore different parts of Cornwall.”
- Paul, August 2021 -
Rachel “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.
- Rachel, August 2021 -
Karl “The property was cleaned to a very high standard, we could not fault it.”
Had everything you could need and more! We had a lovely stay at Miners Rest and will definately be returning!
- Karl, July 2021 -
Bethany “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 “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 “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.
- Hayley, July 2021 -
Sarah “Phenomenal as always, we love this place!”
- Sarah, June 2021 -
Jayne “Fantastic cottage.”
Kitchen especially was amazing. Spacious, quirky and stylish. Would definitely recommend.
- Jayne, June 2021 -
Belinda “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 “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 -
Wendy “Really exceptional place well thought out and all the home comfort couldn’t have wished for a better place”
- Wendy, May 2021 -
Rachel “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.
- Rachel, April 2021 -
Neil “Just perfect and look forward to staying at the Miners Cottage again”
- Neil, December 2020 -
Linda “The Cottage is Beautiful.”
And spotlessly clean. I would highly recommended it . Fresh flowers and a welcome cream tea . One of the nicest cottages I have stayed in . I will return to Miners Rest again. So very well equipped and very comfortable.
- Linda, December 2020 -
Ivan “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.
- Ivan, October 2020 -
Markus “Miners Rest has everything you need for a relaxing vacation.”
The location is an ideal starting point for excursions in the area. The landlords are absolutely courteous and helpful. It was our 2nd stay and we will be back with great pleasure.
- Markus, October 2020 -
Stu “Lovely cottage , warm , comfortable, very quiet , very well equipped every thing we needed , will be staying at this cottage again in the near future , fresh flowers & cream tea were a lovely welcome .”
- Stu, September 2020 -
Sarah “Absolutely phenomenal property.”
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.
- Sarah, September 2020 -
Catherine “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 “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 “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.

Stephen “Lovely well appointed cottage, ideal base for touring Cornwall.”
The owners had certainly gone to town with the refurbishment. Only downside is limited parking. Certainly worth a look.

Lesley “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. The sofa is very comfy for relaxing on in the evenings and the garden area is lovely too. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. The scones, clotted cream and jam on arrival was lovely too, thank you

Helena “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 “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!).

F “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!

The property
Escape to Miner's Rest, a wonderfully appointed, character cottage located near the fabulous sweep of the north Cornish coastline, in the delightful village of Troon.
With a traditional, stone-built exterior, yet beautifully modern décor and furnishings inside, this homely dwelling is ideal for a family of four or group of friends looking for something different.
The open-plan living room boasts slate floors, a well-appointed kitchen and a dining area, as well as cosy bean bag chairs, which you can take outside on a balmy afternoon to enjoy the sunshine.
Choose to spend your down time in the sitting room and wrap yourselves around the woodburning stove during the colder months as you play a board game at the coffee table or watch TV together.
The first floor plays host to a lovely set of bedrooms comprising a king-size and a twin (zip/link super king), served by a spacious family bathroom, which is well-appointed for long hot showers or a deep soak in the bath tub.
On a warm, summer's day, throw open the bi-folding doors from the living room and make the most of your enclosed garden, perfect for letting the dog out and enjoying a drink with your loved ones as the barbecue sizzles away.
Explore this wonderful area, boasting some handy amenities close by, including pubs and shops, fabulous walking opportunities along the South West Coast Path and many attractions to entertain the whole group.
Within a short drive you can brush up on the local history by visiting the ruins of Carn Brea Castle or the Bassett Monument.
Spend a day uncovering the wonders of St. Ives, with its attractive fishing harbour, Tate art museum, Sculpture Garden, winding streets filled with shops and award-wining restaurants and the sandy Porthmeor beach which is known for its outstanding surf conditions.
Alternatively, head over to Land's End, either on foot, bike or by car and take in the marvellous views from the First and Last Point and keep an eye out for a selection of rare birds and other wildlife.
A charming retreat to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
