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.

Our stay July, 2019
This cottage provided a very good base to us as we were walking the adjacent stretch of the south-west coastal path. We had two dogs and had to pay £25 per dog for them to stay which seemed quite a lot, although I do appreciate the very nice grounds, a beautiful mowed lawn that I had to exercise them on. My only criticism of the cottage is that it was very small and there was very little floorspace in any of the rooms in particular the bedrooms. The cottage is in a courtyard with other customers and one of the other set of guests were very noisy and woke us shouting bizarrely at 4 am one morning which was unfortunate to say the least.It would’ve been nice if the owners had come to introduce themselves in the course of the week as they said they would when I met the gentleman very briefly on my arrival.
