This exclusive, detached, Cornish hideaway has been stylishly transformed, providing families, couples or groups of friends the perfect holiday property at any time of the year. It is a typical Cornish double fronted house with a classic Georgian slate-hung facade. Equipped with plenty of home comforts, it still retains its period charm; slate floors, large fireplaces, sash windows, window seats and a ’creamy’ decor enhance the feeling of rustic elegance. The spacious kitchen opens on to the dining room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove. The stylish living room, decorated in pale blues and creams has large comfy sofas and also boasts a wood-burning stove - the perfect place to relax with family and friends. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, appointed to an excellent standard with the added touch of dresing gowns also provided for your comfort. In the summer, dine al fresco under the pergola by the wonderful heated swimming pool .
As well as a welcome pack for the adults, the thoughtful owners also supply a welcome pack especially suited to children too. Complete with bucket and spade, games and a frisbee, head to one of the extensive sandy beaches stretching along the North Coast on either side of the Camel Estuary, with Polzeath and Daymer, two renowned surfing beaches, within 6 miles of Tregoid. If your beloved pet dog is joining you on your holiday too then there’ll also be a special doggy hamper awaiting their arrival at Maidenland! The Camel Trail, now forming an exclusive route for cyclists, runs from Padstow inland to the edge of Bodmin Moor. There are many other routes and footpaths leading through some of the most spectacular coastal scenery between Tintagel and Polzeath. The coast is just a 5-minute drive away with an array of shops and restaurants.
Rock, with its sailing and water skiing facilities, lies on the north bank of the beautiful Camel Estuary, with a ferry across to picturesque Padstow, where you will find Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant. The pretty fishing village of Port Isaac is approximately 3 miles away on the breathtaking North Cornish Coastline, whilst the upcoming former market town of Wadebridge is some 4 miles away. Beach 5 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
A wonderful place, lots of room for 7 of us, plenty of social space indoors and out, and good facilities. A few bits in need of minor repair but it general condition very good.
I loved the overall experience, all of which were positive. Some of the signage I found to be off putting, but this is probably mostly due to h&s, the bane of our society. I will probably stay again, which is the best test of any stay. The owner was very attentive and charming, but never interfered in your stay.
The bed in the double room was hard and uncomfortable and in the twin room, one bed frame was broken and the springs were broken in the other mattress. Worst nights sleep ever, so we left the property early. Kitchen, glassware and utensils were dirty on arrival. The bottom of the pool needs resurfacing. We had mould in the shower. Safety hazard in children’s twin room as window glued permanently shut. Would not recommend. Our complaint is being reviewed by cottages.com.
Maidenland is my happy place - timeless and away from people! St Kew with its lovely church and village pub is a mile away otherwise there is nothing as far as your eye can see other than the most beautiful fields - bliss. The rooms inside are also stylish and sensitively done, in keeping with a pretty Georgian cottage. We adore it.
This place is amazing! It is dog friendly, quiet, pub close by and very relaxing.
We received a very good welcome from the owner. The welcome packs were lovely and very thoughtful.The house was large and spacious. There were just small things we noticed as the week went on which were a problem. Toilet seats both downstairs and in the main bathroom were loose. There were so many light bulbs not working, including the one in the downstairs loo. The curtain in the single room had come off its rail as the hooks had just snapped so we were unable to use the room. Probably the worst issue was that in one of the rooms, on one of the single beds the slats were not properly fastened- they had all broken when we checked , and the mattress fell through the base in the middle of the night. Plenty of space to play in garden for children but the wooden Wigwam was quite dangerous for children.Should either be removed or mended. Lovely house, just not maintained. Which is such a shame, considering the cost.
Beautiful cottage. Our main attraction to this was the pool and unfortunately we felt very disappointed with the pool . One of the worse pools I’ve ever gone in. Needs a good revamp and extremely dirty due to having the trees so close by and over hanging the pool . We had a very lovely welcoming from the owners when we arrived with 2 lovely welcome packs . We did feel very much at home and was nothing we really needed . The other downside to the stay was 1 of the mattress was completely broken with springs digging into use all night and had to lay on extras covers but the other beds seem to be okay but generally think they all need replacing as non of them was very comfortable. Pillows and bed covers was lovely . There was 5 entrances to the property but was only able to use 2 of them and the owners didn’t have the other keys but a locksmith was arranged on day 3 of our stay ( morning ) once we could use the other door to the living room it made life a lot easier for us as otherwise you had to walk all round the house to get into the garden . Would definitely stay again but only if the pool was resurfaced .
Beautiful location - lovely stone Cornish cottage - across to great beaches - great heated swimming pool - however - beds very uncomfortable, poor quality - eiderdown on bed in main bedroom had blood stains on it - sofas in house so worn they had no springs left in them - furniture dirty - general shabby - needs a deep clean everywhere - main en suite had roll top bath - totally inappropriate as all the water goes over the floor if used as a shower- consequently four adults and one child used one shower for a week There were a lot of goodies left by the owners such as toys fir children , clotted cream, biscuits etc - it would have been more appreciated if beds had been of good quality and house clean than to receive “goodies” For the cost of the accommodation , we feel it is overpriced. As dogs are allowed in the house one does expect a compromise in quality but the cleanliness of the overall property leaves a lot to be desired. We would not rebook.
Our stay December, 2019
Had the most wonderful welcome & would thoroughly recommend the house, it was amazing, like a home from home & in a perfect location. Perfect place to spend Christmas! Would definitely go back!
