“We have stayed before and it was great but this time the cleaning left a lot to be desired with cobwebs and dead flies.”

The airing cupboard which houses the boiler was locked so we were unable to put the heating on initially, then we had water leaking into the conservatory which saturated the rug. We hung it over an airer to dry and cleaned up but it took 3 phone calls before anyone came to remove the rug and give us access to the boiler, apparently a key should have been left but it wasn't.

The airing cupboard which houses the boiler was locked so we were unable to put the heating on initially, then we had water leaking into the conservatory which saturated the rug. We hung it over an airer to dry and cleaned up but it took 3 phone calls before anyone came to remove the rug and give us access to the boiler, apparently a key should have been left but it wasn't. The owners acted as soon as they found out but your company's response was sadly lacking. The big grey sofa needs to be replaced and the cottage felt damp without being able to out the heating on. I shouldn't have had to phone 3 times to get action. We will not be returning.

Miss Allden May 2021

“This property is beautifully furnished and very comfortable.”

It has all the amenities that you could ever need on a holiday and plenty of space. Knowing that some of the proceeds go towards the air ambulance make this property even more special.

Mrs Wright May 2021

“Omg where to start, we walked into the cottage and just wow, the kitchen is amazing, lots of amazing crockery and cutlery, great fridge and also a washing machine and drier, lovely little gift of tea, coffee, milk and cream tea, lovely sunny conservatory which we used a lot, bedrooms were very spacious and bedding was so lovely, living room is massive with comfy sofas and a lovely log burner, the whole cottage was extremely clean and covered under covid, everything was catered for and I will hopefully return very soon.”

“We had a perfect week here and would highly recommend the cottage to anyone.”

We just loved it here and actually looked to book a 2nd week few days before we left , but sadly not available but thinking about Christmas week ! Most definitely book again .Thank you

Mr Shenstone April 2021

“Heliview cottage is in a great location to lots of beaches in North Cornwall.”

Cottage was very clean and furnished to a high standard. Kitchen is well equipped, would highly recommend especially if you are an aviation enthusiast.

Holden October 2020

“Fantastic base for our holiday.”

The house looked like it had been recently done up and was particularly comfortable especially the beds so we came home feeling well rested. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. We wondered if the location on the air ambulance site would make it noisy but it wasn’t. We’d highly recommend as a place to stay and explore this part of cornwall. We will be back at Heliview!

- Holden, October 2020
Mrs Aitken October 2020

“Beautiful cottage very clean and comfortable.”

We were disappointed they the hot tub had been removed but that's understandable during the current climate. Great location for visiting various places. The kitchen was very well equipped. The only issue we had was using the hob. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was a great place to come back to after a day exploring. We all agreed we would return.

Ms Kershaw August 2020

“The cottage is great - everything is very new and it was very clean.”

The linen and towels are of good quality. There is plenty of space. The main road is busy which should be noted. It may be important for some guests. There was a slug in the sitting room when we arrived - we took it out of course but it has left some trails - you might want to clean the carpet again - we did clean the worst parts . Also please put a note to guests to clean the dishwasher filter if they use it and empty the dryer water tank before they leave . Didn’t find a visitors book to note these comments in - perhaps it had been removed for COVID ?

Miss Wood March 2020

“Cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable, had everything you could need.”

Loved the log fire and hot tub after a day exploring beautiful Cornwall. Thank you we loved our stay.

Mr Jones January 2020

“Thoroughly enjoyed a week here in late Jan/ early Feb.”

Everything you needed was there from crockery,cutlery to books on the shelf, cd's and games in the cupboards. The hot tub was lovely and hot. The people at the air ambulance were lovely and helpful as when we arrived there was no wifi, but immediately they checked and rectified the problem. Kitchen was great, conservatory lovely and quiet to just chill out. Cleanliness was for us 100%, but some people will find something wrong or dirty with every house, except their own.lol. My only complaint, not even a complaint, more a recommendation, is that, for someone like myself suffering lower back pain, the two settee's in the living room were too low and uncomfortable, and hard to get up out of. Having to sit on one of the kitchen chairs to watch tv. Loved my break..

Mr Stanton December 2019

“Excellent holiday cottage plenty of space will definitely return, may be for a summer holiday next.”

- Mr Stanton, December 2019
Mrs Perkins September 2019

“Wonderful week spent at Heliview Cottage.”

It was well stocked and spotlessly clean. Everything was very homely and comfortable. The location is perfect for visiting nearby sandy beaches at Porth beach, Watergate Bay (excellent spa and dining), and many other local attractions such as Lapa valley which is wonderful for younsters. The staff at the Cornwall Air Ambulance across the drive were very friendly and welcoming and we visited several times when they were not out on urgent calls. Don't forget your photographic ID when visiting as it is a necessity for security reasons. . Plenty of parking and the hot tub was a welcome treat in the evenings. We have booked again for next year. A real treat for aviation enthusiasts as you can also see Newquay airport runway from the windows on the upper floors in addition to the air ambulance base.

- Mrs Perkins, September 2019
Mrs Rice September 2019

“We have just enjoyed a wonderful stay at Heliview Cottage.”

It was clean , comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed and more. The hot tub was huge and an added bonus to our stay, with a fabulous enclosed garden with views over to the sea. We would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage and will certainly be booking another stay.

- Mrs Rice, September 2019
Mr Briggs September 2019

The property

Heliview Cottage is a stone-built, detached property nestled alongside and owned by the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust, near Newquay Airport.

It offers bags of character and a contemporary-style interior welcoming families, couples and friends to share a well-earned break in an interesting part of Cornwall.

The cottage is a haven for aviation enthusiasts, with opportunity to see the helicopters up close, meet the crew and glimpse views of Newquay Airport from the bedroom windows upstairs.

Make the most of your relaxation time on return from an adventure on the coast and unwind into your evening in the bright and airy lounge.

You can get cosy by the woodburner during the winter months and enjoy a board game at the coffee table or catch up on your favourite shows on TV.

Rustle up a home-cooked meal in the modern-style kitchen and get the whole group together around the dining table to catch up on events form the day.

The sun room can be enjoyed the year-round, a lovely spot for a cup of tea and a chat as you watch the arrivals and departures at the nearby airport from the enclosed garden.

Find three bedrooms over two floors upstairs; there is a double and a twin, which has zip/link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements, then another twin room rests under the eaves.

This is the perfect hideout for the children, where they can snuggle into bean bag chairs with a good book or play games together, as the natural light from the Velux windows flows through.

Pass a summer's afternoon in the garden and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining at the picnic bench and take in the views of the surrounding farmland towards the sea in the distance.

St Columb Major is a lovely market town to base your holiday, close to all the seaside wonders of Newquay.

Take the kids to the zoo or SEA LIFE centre and find endless shops, pubs and eateries as well as opportunities to surf and try a number of other watersports.

Visit the St Agnes Heritage Coast to see the iconic Wheal Coates tin mine ruins or feel the golden sands of Chapel Porth Beach beneath your feet.

This is the place to truly get away and explore a beautiful part of the country.

About the location

NEWQUAY

Holywell 6 miles; Perranporth 8.5 miles; Truro 14 miles; Padstow 14 miles.

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within 30 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is under an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.

Note: Please be aware that throughout the year, the trust runs occasional events and open days which can result in increased activity on site.

Note: Whilst the Coronavirus pandemic is ongoing it may be impossible to offer airside visits in order to protect the aircrew.

Note: The hot tub was removed from this property in May 2020.

Note: Essential Construction works, spring and summer 2021, Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust Operating Base.

During 2021, Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust is extending its aircraft hangar to provide new office and training accommodation for the critical care paramedics, helicopter pilots and engineers. This extension of the existing building is required because the clinical and operational team is bigger, with the charity delivering a life saving service 19 hours per day all year round. This construction work is expected to commence in April, and will continue throughout the summer and into the autumn.

The hours of work for the construction site are 0800 to 1700 Monday to Friday. No works take place during evenings or at the weekends.

The construction site is nearby to Heliview cottage, which is right next door to our charity headquarters, and the operating base for the Cornwall Air Ambulance. Viewing Heliview TR84DY on Google Earth, the works will take place at the furthest end of the hangar building, away from the cottage.
The charity expects the first 3 months of works, getting out of the ground and main construction of the structure, to be the time when the works could be disruptive to visitors. Works vehicles, deliveries, and the construction contractors will all be using the main entrance to the head quarters car park, and operating around the site.

If you normally spend your day out and about while you are on holiday, you may not find the proximity of the building site an issue, however if you prefer to spend long relaxing days in the cottage and the garden, from Monday to Friday up to 5pm, you may be disturbed by vehicle and construction noise.

The charity is discounting the normal cost of a holiday at Heliview by £100 per week for all weeks booked in April through to September 2021.
If there is a delay to starting the works, or of the works end earlier than expected, the discount will still be honoured, even if your holiday is unaffected.
