• "We had a lovely week in this beautiful place."

  The weather was terrible but Seagull's Pearch let us dry off and warm up - and enjoy a glass of wine with a view of the sea from the settee. Arriving and unloading the car was easy as you park literally just outside the front door. We will be back - hopefully next year.

• "The property was in good condition except there was mold around the bifold doors and the shower window."

  We had to clean the mold on the lounge and the bedroom. The main mattress was in need of a change - far too soft.Also the windows in the.lounge were not clean - fingerprints/suction cup marks(!)

  So sorry that you felt the property disappointed. As it is thoroughly cleaned every week we can only assume that any 'mold' was probably the slight chemical degeneration and corrosion caused by the sea air which does affect most structures in Cornwall. The windows are also regularly washed by a window cleaner and by Brian in between guests - so once again (as mentioned in our helpful visitors information book) weather conditions do greatly impact the visibility of the windows from time to time. Regarding the mattress - which are changed every couple of years, and as you will appreciate, we cannot suit every bodies individual personal requirements, so op for a good quality medium / firm authopedic one. As we are only next door for any problems you may have incurred during your stay, which could have been resolved/discussed when speaking with Brian. We are only too pleased to help our guests with anything they need. Your comments are noted, which however do not reflect the 122 excellent references previously posted!!

• "The property was perfect, like a home from home."

  Cannot recommend seagulls perch enough. The property was outstanding, so clean, so comfortable, you had everything you needed & more. There is a book as well which had a lot of information in it, which I recommend reading through. The area of seagulls perch was amazing! The views…wow! It’s a stone’s throw from the beach too & the beach is beautiful, you have everything you need in Mawgan Porth. I was shocked at prices they were not expensive at all (just odd shop) I can definitely say without a doubt it’s one of the best holidays me, my husband & children have been on…ever! The owners were lovely, they live next door. So welcoming. So I cannot recommend seagulls perch enough, definitely book!

• "Very comfortable place , spotlessly clean on arrival had everything we needed and well equipped ."

  If there was one thing I would like would be a sweeping brush . it would save our backs just using the dust pan and brush. It would mean we didn’t have to get the vacuum out when we made crumbs under the table or bought some sand in on our shoes . This is the second time we have stayed at seagulls rest and would love to come back again

  It provides everything you need for a great beach holiday. Friendly but not intrusive owner next door, good parking and walk to beach access all be it with a climb back. If there wasn't then there wouldn't be that view! If there was one criticism it was the lack of homeliness. This is a personal thing but things just felt a bit sanitised, perhaps a carry over from Covid. We had a great week and would recommend.

  Great coastal walks from the door and a short walk to the sandy beach at Mawgan Porth. Very comfortable accommodation, with a well-stocked and spacious kitchen and dining area. The weather didn't allow us to really enjoy the decking area, but I'd imagine it is wonderful to enjoy on a sunny evening. An enjoyable stay, thank you.

• "Fabulous return to Seagulls Perch, just as delightful as 2021 and great to be back (expect won’t be last time)."

  Brian & Lynn engaging as ever. Some observations: - Disappointing not to have any ‘welcome pack’ to feel valued - need to refresh the wine glasses, only 2-3 of each, no set of 4 - need sharper knives, still Disappointing more so not to receive any response from Sykes to above, having emailed first day. Great stay overall. Lovely place!!

  So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.. However, to answer some of your queries - a knife sharpener is provided in the kitchen for your use if required, although families with young children may be happier not having any sharp implements around. As we are only next door, we are able to respond quickly to any of our guests needs and we also have a supply of readily available kitchen items, which again is a far quicker way to solve any problems. We look forward to seeing you all again in the future. Jacquie & Brian Lynn (proprietors) Property Owner

• "We found seagulls perch clean, modern and having amazing views of the sea."

  Perfect for walking down to the beach and local amenities. However, we have a couple of small constructive criticisms. Halfway through our stay most of Mawgan Porth had a power cut which lasted several hours, although this was no fault of the property a torch at the property would be handy in case this happens again. The towels provided were too small, barely bigger than a hand towel had we known we would have brought our own with us and the shower wasn’t very warm, there was no way of increasing the temperature. Overall we enjoyed our stay at seagulls perch. Thank you.

  Thank you for your constructive comments. As the original torch seems to have disappeared from its place on the coat hooks, we will of course replace it. Regarding the shower temperature, it seems that the service engineer had set the boiler on economy mode which we have now adjusted to the correct setting. We provide each guest with a freshly laundered bath and hand towel per week and find that our guests usually find this satisfactory. As we are only next door to the holiday accommodation, we are always on hand to help out with any queries or requests as they arise so we hope this didn't spoil your stay with us too much and hope to see you again in the future.

  We had a wonderful stay at Seagull's Perch, so much so that we've already booked to stay again next October. The owner lives next door and was very friendly, allowing us to store our surfboards in a safe place outside of his house. Mawgan Porth has super amenities including the 'Beach Box' cafe and the 'Cornish Fresh' store for groceries as well as pasties, pizzas, etc. The beach in within an easy walking distance from the property and is perfect for bodyboarding and surfing. There are also wonderful places likes Padstow, Watergate Bay, and Harlyn Bay nearby. Highly recommend!

• "What a find!"

  Seagull's Perch is an excellent base for a break in the area; the contemporary design and furnishings are of an extremely high standard, creating a stylish and comfortable home from home. In addition, my husband worked from here on several days and found the WiFi signal very strong. The ever changing view from the huge living room and bedroom windows was stunning, just watching the tide going in and out each day, and the magnificent sunsets on the horizon, provided hours of entertainment! Walking down the paths for a brisk walk along the beach, and back again, justified the delicious evening meals in a range of local restaurants. The spacious kitchen at Seagull's Perch was also well equipped, and made cooking an easy option when we stayed in. Brian and Jacquie, the owners, were very friendly and helpful - resolving a few minor issues rapidly and with good humour; it was lovely to meet them and hear their stories. We are planning another visit to Seagull's Perch soon - thank you for creating such a special place to stay!

  It is located on top of a hill but this aspect has a fantastic vantage point. This two bedroom property is big enough to share. The host live next door and are on hand if you need anything but certainly do not invade your space. Like all uk accommodation the prices increase next year and I’m not sure with British weather I want to spend the extra to stay in the uk.

  Balcony great for evenings and the bi-fold doors in lounge and bedroom really super touch for air and views - lets the outside ambience in. Just a few minutes stroll from the beach which is ideal for morning walks - yes there’s a hill but various ways down and back. Brian next door is super friendly and informative and not at all intrusive. Fabulous time had by all and would definitely use again. (An outside tap for rinsing beach gear would be a real boon)

  The sea views from the house are absolutely magical! The open plan house is wonderfully spacious and has everything you need. The owners are lovely and helpful. We found the extras in the house (spare bin liners, kitchen roll etc) an added bonus. The beach is beautiful. The surf school is also great. Near the beach there is a lovely village shop which serves yummy pasties alongside all your everyday needs. There’s lots of food establishments to eat at so we were spoilt for choice. We had such a wonderful time and cannot wait to visit again.

• "Really good location, easy to get the beach and nearby amenities."

  The property was lovely although we would have liked to see a better kitchenware for cooking (we felt everything was sized for two people not cooking for four!). Someone else has commented on the bluntness of the knives and they’re not wrong!! I’d like to see some new ones in there before someone hurts themselves!! The owners who lived in the adjoining property were lovely and approachable.

  Thank you for your kind remarks about the location of Seagulls Perch and us, (as the owners) being approachable. I would like to make the following comments with regard to the couple of issues raised:- Firstly we have rectified the ‘blunt knives’ situation. All knives have been well and truly sharpened and we have left a knife sharpener in the cutlery drawer so that this will not happen again. The issue of not enough ‘kitchenware’ will certainly be reviewed and addressed. Having previously left a message in our Welcome Book informing our guests that due to Covid, only basic things had been left in our apartment, so leaving our cleaners free to concentrate on deep cleaning the essential areas and items, following “The Professional Association of Self Caterers UK” guidelines. We realise now that as the removed items are returned, that as some of the covid restrictions are still in place, people are eating in more and they are now looking for more equipment to cater for themselves.

• "Seagull's Perch is a beautiful holiday house in a perfect position."

  As we had a 4-year old with us and due to the pandemic we ate in every night and found a slight lack of dishes for cooking in the oven and microwave, but we had taken a few extra things with us. Also, I know it's a small thing, but would have appreciated sharper knives, or a knife sharpener available to us. Such a shame that holiday companies are putting their prices up so much for the 2022 season that has meant we were unable to re-book for June next year, which we would have loved to have done. The owners of this property, who live next door, are charming and take a personal interest in their guests and genuinely want to know that all is well and checked we enjoyed our holiday, which we did immensely. Thanks in particular for the loan of a chair for my husband (again!) as he has a bad back and found sitting in the comfy sofa and chairs a little difficult. We wish we were still there!

  The listing gave an accurate description of the property and area and the facilities were clean and tidy. We especially enjoyed the lounge for relaxing and the patio with table and chairs outside the master bedroom. This was a great place to stay. To improve our experience I would recommend that the owners consider changing the mattress in the front bedroom as one side has a large dip which, when laid on, causes the person to roll into the centre of bed. The double bed in the back bedroom is very firm but rather low and could benefit from an additional mattress raising height and providing extra comfort.
