Thank you Angela and Daniel for a lovely welcome, everything about the place is just great. We love the cottage and its entire setting. I will miss the views, gorgeous area! Our first visit to north Cornwall. We loved Crackington Haven, Sandymouth Beach, Boscastle, Port Isaac, Rocky Valley. We loved our cream tea. Walk down to the cove via cliff top walk - 20 minutes. Get lunch at the Haven Café, mackerel pate to die for! Such a little gem of a beach when the tide is out. Thanks to Angela & Daniel for info on walks.

Had a lovely stay in the School House cottage Angela and Daniel were excellent hosts and the cottage met all our requirements. They were very helpful in advising places to visit and we would recommend the following Boscastle walk to Tintagel, Sandymouth beach to Duckpool. Thank you!

Great to be back again after 6 years. The cottage is as lovely as ever. Despite the mixed weather it didn’t deter us from getting about. We think we have visited all of the local tourist spots, villages, pubs etc. It was nice to meet up again. Thank you for your kind hospitality, good luck for the future.

We shall miss being able to sit, cup of tea in hand and see the sea, hope for a sight of Lundy island and wonder what adventures are around the next headland. Thank you Angela and Daniel for making this home from home, from the warm welcome to the cream tea and this beautiful setting with only the sound of birdsong and rustle of the trees to interrupt the peace and quiet.

We loved staying with you again and so appreciate the thought, care and hospitality you both put into everything. St Gennys is a special place where sea, sky and soil meet and the crowds of north Cornwall are nowhere to be seen.

Comfortable, cosy, clean, calm! We’ve had a wonderful time here we only wish we have stayed longer. The cottage is in a perfect location with great views. We’ve enjoyed cliff walks, exploring and revisiting St Gennys. After over 50 years when my family stayed on a small farm (with the Chidleys, I think). The church next door has wonderful views and an interesting well. Thank you for the welcoming scones and cream and sorry we didn’t meet you. We hope to return.

What a wonderful place you have here in St Gennys with access to the coastal path which is gorgeous in both directions. We’ve enjoyed Crackington Haven, Boscastle, Tintagel & Bude but next time we’ll skip driving long distances to St Ives Penzance or Land’s End. This is paradise right here, I’ve seen or heard 28 different species of birds and our archaeologist son loves the ancient sites so we hope to return, Thank you for the cream scones!!
