“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!

“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.

“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 ?

“Wonderful stay”

We stayed at Heli View cottage in June and we had a wonderful time! The cottage has recently been renovated and is to a very high standard, exceptionally clean and well equipped.. the beds were really comfortable and towels nice and fluffy. Our 3 year old is plane obsessed so he loved watching the jets take off and land. We visited the air ambulance a couple of times and the team were so friendly and accommodating. They showed us the helicopter and we loved it.. they do such amazing work and this is such a great way to raise awareness of exactly how much it is needed.. We weren’t bothered by airplane noise at all, and although you can hear the air ambulance taking off, it’s soon away as it’s so fast! Hottub is amazing and it’s huge! Lots of lovely lights around it... Very relaxing! There is a brand new barbecue too ( we didn’t get round to using it but looked fab) Beaches wise we went to Porth which is gorgeous and child friendly. Mawgan porth is lovely too, can recommend fish and chips opposite the beach at sunset! We had days out at Lappa Valley railway which we’d recommend and Perrenporth beach isn’t far, we also went to padstow ( a favourite of ours) We would recommend the Traveller’s Rest pub for great food. The cottage is really well located from pretty much everywhere! If you have young kids you will need to take a travel cot and be aware that there is no stair gate at the top of the stairs as yet. We have left a stair gate which we put over our child’s door at night but this probably needs sorting if lots of children will be staying here as the stairs are fairly steep. We really miss the cottage and looking forward to staying again! Book this, you won’t regret it!!

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.
