Staying here was beautiful and peaceful. It is sat high up on a hillside with views of the valley. Windy due to the height but stunning. A steep walk to two local pubs and the beach. A great location if you are looking to switch off. A short drive to Tintagel (about 5 mins) and Boscastle (10 mins) . A little difficult to initially find but once found, easy to navigate around the small village. Property is very well equipped, tidy and clean. Comfortable beds and seating areas. Had portable stereo system, smart TV and books for those who don't want to venture out. Very warm inside which is perfect for a mid winter getaway. Host was very responsive and they provided a huge welcome pack with lots of details, recommendations of places to visit / eat etc. Very reasonably priced especially if split between multiple couples. Would come back again if we visit this part of Cornwall again. Thanks for having us. Victoria. Jan, 2024

stay & gorgeous Trebarwith Strand nearby. Area is extremely hilly (as is much of the UK coast), so not good if you are not able bodied. House is more spacious than expected & the garden area is fantastic (enclosed, so safe for dogs however no grass - it’s all paved/gravel).  Sophie. Dec, 2023

Lovely cosy cottage, walk through field and down path to the beach. Easy access to the coastal path from house. Lindsey. Oct, 2023 

Thank you Ros, we had a lovely stay. Wonderful place thank you very much. James. Aug, 2023 

Hillscroft is a beautiful home set in a very rural location yet close to the stunning Trebarwith Strand. We had a lovely time despite the unseasonable . David. Aug, 2023

Hillcroft is brilliant, it is light & spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The views are beautiful and the walks are amazing. In terms of description, it matched everything perfectly! The only thing I would add is that we had a small toddler with us and using the outside space was very tricky. If hiring for just adults, the garden is great. We had a great stay overall and the beach with little ones (when sunny and the tide is out!!!) is fantastic!  Jo. July, 2023

Five adults and a dog, we felt right at home straight away. The location was excellent with lots of good walks and accessible pubs with great food. Would definitely stay again and Ros was very helpful and responsive every step of the way. Mark. May, 2023

Just home for another lovely stay at Hillscroft. The host and the turnaround team had left the house looking beautiful with Christmas decorations which was a lovely touch. The house was spotless and well appointed as always. Looking forward to another visit soon! Kelly. Dec, 2022

We had a great holiday at Hillscroft. The cottage was lovely & just as described. It was comfortably spacious for 4 adults & 3 children. The information given to us by Ros was clear & made the check in very straightforward & problem free. The location of the cottage was perfect as a base for exploring the local are & the gorgeous beach. We would definitely recommend Hillscroft & Treknow as a lovely holiday location.Katie. Aug, 2022

Fantastic, spacious property. Beautiful location and views. Lots of coastal walks on your door step. So very peaceful. We had a wonderful holiday. Location is perfect and the house fantastic. Perfect for three adult generations with the two lounges and we really enjoyed the garden too. The only improvement I could suggest would be a handrail by the front steps. My 90 year old parents found them bit of a challenge. We were aware of this beforehand from the photos however. The staircase inside was shallower and no problem. This is a wonderful property and we would love to return. Thank you. Melanie.Aug,2022

Great house, really well equipped and clean. Fantastic location for beautiful walking, stunning beach and activities. Everything we needed was in walking distance. This is our second stay, hopefully we’ll be back.Another fabulous stay, thank you, house really clean, beds great and really well equipped. Stephanie. Aug, 2022

We had a lovely time at the cottage, everything we needed was there. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. The garden had lovely views, just a shame we didnt get to used it enough as we were out most of the time. Overall we enjoy our time there very much. Thank you Ros for a lovely stay. Agnes. July, 2022


We had a great stay at Hillscroft. The beach is an easy 10-min walk away. The house is very well equipped, clean, and quiet. Lovely garden where we sat for breakfast and tea! Great for kids too! We had a great stay - thank you for all the helpful guidance and communication!  Felicity. June, 2022

Beautiful house lovely quiet location we walked or took the bus to attractions would highly recommend. Loved the house and location missing it already. Lydia. April,2022

You will be delighted you have chosen to stay at Hillscroft. The hosts have kindly supplied everything you could possibly need to ensure you have a comfortable holiday. The whole house is well furnished and spacious, with two separate seating areas to allow conversations whilst the teenagers catch up on their important activities! The dining area overlooks a great rural view and the terraced enclosed garden afforded a distant view of the sea. ( Being terraced of course involves stone steps if you have small children). There is comfortable garden furniture with a barbecue and fire pit, with cosy blankets too. It was very difficult to leave today -always a good sign! Thanks so much for a memorable holiday. We had a great week in your very comfortable home. You had thoughtfully provided everything we could need and more. We loved the location for cliff walks -stunning, sandy beach ball games and sundowners at the pub by the beach. We tried to give the home a thorough clean before we left, leaving everything as we found it. Thanks again and we hope to come again in the future. Catherine. April, 2022

We had a really lovely break over New Year at Hillscroft. The house is really lovely, has a great layout and was very practical for our dogs and toddler. The kitchen was well appointed and large enough to easily cook a big meal for family. It was lovely touch to have Christmas decorations up on arrival too. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well appointed. All of the beds were comfortable and the large travel cot was a bonus for our 2 year old. The garden is a really good size and our elderly Labrador enjoyed pottering around in it as it is fully secure. The location is fantastic for walking with lots of routes along the coastal paths and close to lovely dog and child friendly beaches. There are also several lovely pubs and cafes nearby. Ros was great, she really helped us to organise our stay and both her and the owner were very accommodating to our toddler and dogs. The only (very minor negative) was the check in/check time. Due to covid, check in is after 5pm and check out 10am. It does mean that you don’t really get a full first day and this should be reflected in the first day price. Overall we had a really lovely break at Hillscroft and have already passed on recommendations to friends. Thanks for having us, Kelly and Family. Jan, 2022

We had a really lovely Christmas break at Hillscroft with friends. The house is lovely, with a really nice feel to it, having the open plan sitting area and then the snug is a real bonus especially as we had a little one with us. Ros provides a very good service and her communication is excellent - very prompt. Pro’s: Really great setting with several routes down the beach meaning you can have a lovely circular walk which doesn’t take too long, can easily be extended to walk as far as you desire as it’s on the coast path. Really nice pub down at the beach as well as well a couple of others close by. We stayed with friends and our 2 year old and dog as it was plenty big enough with a nice big kitchen that was good for cooking Christmas dinner. Kitchen is well equipped as well. All bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely done. The garden is a really good size and I can imagine in the summer it would be an amazing place to sit out of an evening with the most stunning views. In the pouring rain in winter we didn’t spend too much time in it but it’s well laid out.  Ros was fantastic and so was the owner.  All in all we had a really lovely Christmas break and very much appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations. It was a very relaxing setting and I would recommend the house to others. Katherine. Dec, 2021.

A really beautiful spot in Cornwall. Lovely views and a short walk to Trebarwith beach which is a wonderful spot. The house was very comfortable, well maintained, well equipped and we all enjoyed our stay. A lovely place to have a holiday.A really lovely spot. We were delighted to find somewhere close to the coast with beautiful views. The house was well equipped, comfortable and made for a relaxing holiday. Thank you x   Jeanne. Oct, 2021

We really enjoyed our stay at Hillscroft. The house, garden and location were superb. Plenty of space for five adults. Lovely light dining area, well equipped kitchen and cosy sitting room for TV in evening. We did great walks along coast path, just five minutes from the house. The walk down to the Beach is fun and beach is fantastic. Marrianne. Sept, 2021

beautiful location fabulous views. Hayley. Aug, 2021

A well equipped comfy cottage in a great location with lovely walks and beaches in easy reach and good restaurants . Staycation who needs more 😀 Corinna. June, 2021

We traveled as a family of five consisting of three generations and we all had a fantastic, relaxing, happy time. Highly recommended. Krisztina. April, 2021

We found this village a great location for walking especially as there is a 10 minute walk through fields/woods down a hill direct to the beach /coastal path and a nice cafe. the garden was completely enclosed so utterly safe for our dogs to wander around unsupervised which was very important to us. the interior has many places to relax in and has very comfortable sofas to chill out on, with extra touches like a cable so you can plug your laptop into tv, and also provides access to netflix etc. the host is excellent in terms of communication/queries. Ros was an amazing communicator so quick and efficient and dealt with all queries promptly and even offered extra help very quickly to try and accommodate finding location for someone else nearby. a brilliant airbnb host. Claire. Oct, 2020

This is a great house in a wonderful location. It was a great trip. House as described with quick clear response around check in and changes agreed. Nigel. Nov, 2019

“Hillscroft was an amazing home, we didn't want to leave!” Matt. Nov, 2019

We had a fantastic holiday at Hillscroft. The house is light, airy, well designed with everything you could wish for. The beds are extremely comfortable with high quality linen. The kitchen and bathrooms are well equipped and contemporary. Hillscroft is warm, cosy with stunning views towards Trebarwith Strand. There is lots to do in the area; coastal walks, visits to Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac, Polzeath and Padstow. It’s a 10 minute walk to Trebarwith Strand. The local pub the Millhouse Inn is a 5 minute walk away and serves delicious food. We watched the sunset at Trebarwith Strand. We loved our holiday at Hillscroft and will definitely come back again.
S.Mills St Albans. Oct, 2019

We really enjoyed our stay at Hillscroft. The house is perfect. The garden is wonderful even though it was too rainy and windy for us to be able to sit outside. We found Ros to be very easy to communicate with. She responded very quickly to any questions we had. The photos are very accurate. We would recommend staying at Hillscroft.    Jean. Sept, 2019

 

Lovely place great views and brilliantly stocked kitchen. Jan. Sept, 2019

 

The house was great - living areas and kitchen 
Was perfect for a group. The garden was our favourite place particularly the sun trap outside the living room. The house was very well equipped and suited all our needs. 
One small thing was the cleanliness of the bathrooms in particular the showers themselves. 
All in all we loved the experience and will recommend the house and general area to our friends. Luke. Aug, 2019 

 

Hi Ros. We had a lovely time - the house was great and the area is so beautiful - definitely coming back ! Jennie. Aug, 2019

 

We had a fabulous holiday. Lovely, comfortable house. Fantastic outside space. Only a short trip to a great beach. Ros is a great host, really helpful. Thank you! James. Aug, 2019 

 

The house is situated in a fantastic location. Great for walking, close to an amazing beach, gorgeous scenery and two great pubs serving food. The house is very well equipped, clean, light, airy and has a great layout inside and out. Everything you need for a great holiday has been thought of. It suited the 5 of us plus two dogs perfectly. We had a fantastic stay at Hillcroft, amazing location, very well equipped, gorgeous garden and beautifully clean. Everyone loved their stay and want to go back. I would definitely recommend staying to friends. Thank you.” Stephanie. July, 2019 

 

Fantastic cottage and great views of the sea and surrounding areas. Easy to get to the local beaches. Had a fantastic time thank you for the time taken to help on the day we arrived. Paul. July, 2019

 

We found the cottage spacious with loads of natural light and pretty views. Despite being in a suburban setting amongst other homes, we were pleased to find it is really quite private. There is no sense of being overlooked from any of the rooms. We found the notes provided extremely comprehensive and helpful. We have just returned to Australia and at last found time to meander through our photos and both of us agree it was a charming home and, if we decided to holiday in the same area some time in the future, we would certainly consider returning. Sue. June,2019

 

Great place to stay for costal walks and to make the most of the nearby surf/dog friendly beach. Clean, comfortable and spacious inside with a great outside area to relax and enjoy the sun. Hassle free booking and good communication. Property was ideal and in a good location for walking and the beach. We loved the outside area particularly. Thanks. Mark. June,2019.

Wonderful location for all the family, very well equipped cottage making a very relaxing holiday. Ashley. June,2019.


Had such an amazing week at this beautiful cottage. The garden is just fantastic, sun all day long and right to the sunset. We enjoyed solstice walking to Tintagel and can't wait to return when the bridge is complete. Trebarwith Strand is one of the best beaches we have visited in Cornwall and dog friendly in summer too!! The Parrs. June 2019

Clean, spacious, dog friendly house in good location - 15 minute walk to pub and beach. Perfect. Chas.  Aug, 2018 

Quaint cottage,perfect location,  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely stay had at Tintagel ,cottage clean and welcoming ,enclosed garden perfect for dog especially after walk down to beach for drying off time . Cottage very cosy of an evening and beds comfy ,so good night sleep was had by all . The cottage had parking outside which was essential as road narrow .  A great location for a short break! Walks down to the beachare lovely and amaazing beach for dogs when the tide is out. Beautiful village of Tintagel with cute shops and fantastic castle just a couple of minutes drive is definitely worth a visit. Wonderful views from the terraced gardens and a great place to watch the sunset. A trip into Tintagel is worth a visit ,very quaint village . All in all a very lovely stay and certainly a place to take the dog . Thanks for letting us stay at the cottage . Cook family. Sept, 2018 

The perfect spot - the gateway to the north Cornish coast - we had so many lovely days out from here; I'm completely in love with the area and would highly recommend this getaway, dog friendly, peaceful, right on the coastal path, very near a great surf watching spot (that sport is not for the faint hearted!) and close to lots of lovely seaside towns like Rock, Port Isaac, Padstow... And put Lundy Bay into your sat nav if the sunshine is on your side as it was with us, supposedly not dog friendly I'm high season, although we saw one local dog on there...what a gem, as so many of these hidden coves are! If you do visit this place, send it my love! We can't thank you enough for a great location which afforded us all the great experiences we had during our week away, the gateway to the gorgeous north Cornish coast! We will hopefully be back! ” Estelle. Aug, 2018 

What a fantastic house..! Spacious rooms, comfortable beds & plenty of bathrooms. We were so lucky with the weather and had all our meals on the terrace with fantastic views of the countryside to the sea in the distance. Added bonus of walking distance to the beach & the pub …..! We will be back. The Adams Family, Surrey, May 2018.
