Friesian Valley Cottages are situated in the tranquil, rural hamlet of Mawla on the beautiful North Cornwall Coast. It is just a short drive from the golden sandy beaches of Portreath and Porthtowan where surf hire and lessons are available, and close to beautiful woodland walks and cycle paths. The owners live on-site and are on hand should you need advice or assistance during your stay.
These holiday cottages have been refurbished in 2020 and are perfectly located for exploring the rugged north coast with its surf, coastal paths and long stretches of sandy beaches, and the south coast with its hidden coves and tranquil sailing waters. The area is popular with walkers as the site is close to the National Trust coastal path and just a few yards from the Coast to Coast Mineral Tramway. Cycle hire available close by.
The area is perfect for fishing, birdwatching, golf, sailing and surfing, or simply relaxing. There are a number of popular attractions and National Trust houses and gardens close by. It is a short drive to Falmouth with its busy harbour and town, Pendennis Castle and The National Maritime Museum. Take the scenic coastal train from nearby St Erth along the coastline into St Ives, which has several, lovely individual shops, pubs and cafés. There is a beautiful long stretch of beach and sand dunes at Hayle, leading up to the famous lighthouse of Godrevey and Gwithian where, if you are lucky, you will see the seals basking on the beach. Explore the 250 acres of woodland, footpaths and small lakes at Tehidy Country Park. Beach 1½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.
A lovely Quiet and Peaceful Cottage. I would recommend, this holiday cottage to everyone. The owners were, very welcoming and helpful. Very nice people.
Had a lovely time at Elm cottage, we were well looked after by Nicky and Fergus and the local area is beautiful. Plenty of coves and beaches with stunning waves. Our 2 x boys enjoyed the games room in the evenings.
We had a lovely holiday. The cottage was well equipped and comfy. The owners Nicky and Fergus were very helpful. Am hoping to return next year.
Great for walking and local beaches. Handy for our commute into Truro.
I found the cottage very clean and everything to hand we were met on arrival by the owner and made very welcome our week went off without a hitch lovely holiday would book again.
Our stay November, 2019
Cottage was functional. Location was OK but would not recommend the site if you have a dog(s). You cannot let the dogs out to toilet anywhere near your cottage and have to go up steep steps to get to the permitted area. Weather was bad on the week I went so, late at night, I had to take the dogs to the toilet area getting wet and cold. Also - only one of the lights worked on the steps which meant I had to take a torch so I didn't fall or trip. I had issues with customer service on the week I went - feeling disappointed and I left a day early.
