Primrose Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

From where you park your cars you will spy a white wooden picket gate that leads up the garden path alongside a pretty grass garden with apple trees and onto the large raised paved area with rattan furniture. From the terrace you head through the front door of Primrose Cottage and walk into an open plan country kitchen and it's warm welcoming AGA, there is a full sized double electric oven for the summer months when the aga is turned off! There is also a sociable family sized dining area in the kitchen. Head into the main hallway with it's slate flooring and into the sitting room with comfy seating for 10 and a wonderful log burning fire. There are double doors that open out onto the raised patio, overlooking the garden and fields to the sea.

Further along the hallway you will find a fun games room with table football and a handy utility room with a washing machine/dryer. Downstairs there is also a good sized family shower room with WC.

Upstairs there is the light and airy dual aspect master bedroom with a super king sized bed, hand basin and TV. The second double bedroom has a king size bed with lovely views out over the garden and across the fields. There is a bunk bed bedroom and 2 further large bedrooms each with 2 twin beds - one of the these bedrooms is accessed through the other. A large family bathroom is also upstairs.

The property also benefits from having optic fibre broadband recently installed, as well as BT & Sky Sports.

The sunny raised paved area is a wonderful spot for sitting around the outdoor table or relaxing in the wicker chairs soaking up the views and tranquility of Cornwall.

An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is located at the end of the path, ideal for rinsing off wetsuits, boards, dogs and all that sand!

Being an old cottage there are exposed beams and in the kitchen the ceiling is fairly low and some of the doorways can prove a challenge for our taller visitors!

NB: For larger groups wishing to holiday together, Arnold Cottage is just next door to Primrose Cottage and combined they can accommodate up to 16 people.

Our 10th year of staying at Primrose Cottages
This year we celebrated our 10th consecutive year of holidaying at Primrose Cottage. It is perfect for our needs and never fails to satisfy. The cottage has so much charm and it ticks all the boxes when we look for a coastal holiday with the dogs. Unlike many dog friendly cottages the flooring is a great combination of slate and carpet. Not having laminate for the dogs to slip on is just perfect.

Easter Family trip
The house was really great for our Easter family trip with two families (4 adults, 6 kids). There is enough space for everyone. Everything you need is there, especially a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. It is a bit noisy, but that's the way it is with old houses. The location on the street is not ideal, the children could only play in the garden, otherwise it would have been too dangerous, but at least there was a garden.

Great location but house is tired and grubby
The location is really good for a number of beaches. The rooms are a good size. The garden and parking are fine. The house is very tired and was pretty grubby when we arrived. The kitchen is really poor. There is virtually no worktop space and the table doesn't fit the room properly. The house is 4 out of 10 and most of those points are for the location.

Great place for a large group
We rented both Primrose and Arnold cottages for our party of 12. We were all able to get round the table at Primrose and did all the catering there. It was a great location and even though it was November we enjoyed surfing on the nearby beaches.

Home from Home
Primrose cottage, is ideally set for peace & tranquility. We as a family have being staying at the cottage for the past 15 years. Many happy memories collected & saved. The enclosed garden is ideal for children & dogs, games played on the large lawn too. Ideal for the beach a short distance away at Treyarnon Bay. The cottage is our home from home, & we will be back again next year.

A lovely cottage snd wonderful location
This will be the third time we have stayed in Primrose Cottage for our Cornish summer holidays. We have been coming every year to Cornwall for 35 years and love this area. The cottage is a brilliant place to enjoy a big family holiday with lots of space to spread out and relax. The location is ideal as it is only a short walk to Treyarnon Bay - one of our favourite beaches .The garden is a wonderful place to sit out in as it is very sheltered and gets the sun throughout the whole day. The grassy area is ideal for young children to play in and be safe. We would like to thank Joanna especially for making the cottage such a welcoming place to arrive in and for quickly sorting out any problems we have had while staying in the cottage We look forwards to our holiday at Primrose Cottage in August 2023

Fabulous Location, great food and lots of sunshine
We had a lovely time at Primrose Cottage. Great location and fab beaches. No working sun umbrella for the patio thus no shade available whilst eating outside. This was noted to the caretaker on arrival but not rectified during our stay. This was disappointing customer service. Apart from this, we had a fabulous stay and I would recommend this property to others, particularly if you want to be close to great beaches

Primrose Heaven
Beautiful old cottage perfectly situated near enough to be able to walk to Treyarnon bay. Quiet and peaceful . Gorgeous beds and linen. Well equipped kitchen. Have stayed before and was a bit disappointed that I wasn’t informed that the games , books and dvds had been removed. ( understand covid restrictions etc) Also no basic condiments available.? Considering that it was beginning of the season the garden needed a bit of work. Overall very happy.

Lovely, well equipped cottage with lovely aspect for eating out in the evenings
We were lucky enough to stay at Primrose cottage last week (July 2018) and really enjoyed the character of the cottage, it is pretty, quaint and full of charm. The weather was fantastic and we ate all our meals outside, which was pretty special. Two points to make, it does sleep 10 very comfortably but having two bathrooms without a separate toilet was quite interesting! Lucky for us we are family and just got on with it, queueing is very british! The walk to the beach across the field is not quite as easy as it sounds, as the second field is waist high grass and brambles, which our small dog did not enjoy. We made the mistake of walking up the hill and down the first lane towards the sea and were escorted back to the lane by the very unfriendly tractor driver, who announced it was a private lane. After that encounter, we took one car to the beach and everyone else walked along the lane. We had a fantastic holiday, and look forward to coming again next year.

Very beautiful and roomy
We arrived to a nice clean house and were impressed with the property. We had a really nice week staying at this house, it’s close to a few quiet bays and only 5 mins from Padstow and would stay again. Only few bad points I can think of is although it’s got 5 bedrooms, one bedroom is accessed through another bedroom so would be no good if you weren’t family. Also because we had a few toddlers with us we had a few problems child proofing, it has a stair gate at the top of the stairs but not the bottom so had to make a barrier and the same at the top of the steps on the patio. I know it’s only a small problem that won’t affect most guests but might be something the homeowner can find a solution to. Other than that we would highly recommend this property

Cottage is very well looked after, large and has it all.
We felt ourselves really relaxing in this cottage. It feels luxury and had everything we needed. The kids had a good time at the football table, nice walks in the area. Clean, beautiful and well stocked cottage.
