• "Very happy with our stay at Suntrap Hideaway."

  The bungalow was very clean,modern and well equipped, and there was adequate parking. My husband has walking difficulties so this was perfect for us. The owner lived next door and was very friendly. It was only a short walk to the village shop and there is a pub nearby. The cream tea was very welcome on our arrival! Would certainly recommend.

• "An absolutely delightful property that provided us with everything we needed and hoped for during our week stay."

  Beautifully presented and absolutely spotless property. We enjoyed our stay so much that we tried to book the same property for next year, but for two weeks instead of just one. However, it was fully booked but luckily the owners have an almost identical property next door so we have managed to reserve that and cannot wait! Thank you so much to the very friendly (but unobtrusive) owners.

  Fran and John welcomed us with a cream tea and a bottle of milk to save us having to go shopping, just amazing. They were both available at any time if needed but made sure to leave us in peace too, couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or better property owners.

  Everything you could need was there and it was bright and comfortable. My only small point was the bed was smaller than we are used to ie.kingsize. But we were very happy at Suntrap.

• "The best cottage we have ever stayed in."

  Beautifully presented, and furnished to a very high standard throughout. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need (I always take decent scissors, can opener, veg peeler etc with me, but didn't even get them out of the bag). We were all (including Missy our 11 month old puppy) made welcome from the moment we arrived. Extra touches like the cream tea provided by the owners, and welcome treats for Missy, really made this a week we will never forget. We highly recommend having a meal at the village pub (a few minutes walk away), staff are very friendly, the food is reasonably priced, and, beautifully cooked. There's a village shop opposite the pub, but we found this a bit pricey. However, there are several major supermarkets locally, meaning we were able to get everything we needed for our stay very easily. Plenty of visitor attractions nearby, many of which are very dog friendly. We visited a couple of local beaches Par Sands & Porthpean (some restrictions are in place during the summer months at Porthpean) both were beautiful, clean, and dogs friendly. Par Sands was our go to beach, unlike Porthpean it's dog friendly all year round, with no restrictions on when dogs can use it. Par Sands is easy to access, off a main road and has ample parking even on busy days. The only problem we had with this location was, trying to pay for parking, which was only accessible through the Ringo app, which incorporates what they call a convenience charge (20p) for using the service and charges for texts to confirm you've paid etc (50p in total, additional charges, for using the service and text confirmations). Thank you for a truly memorable holiday that we didn't want to end!

  My wife is severely disabled but she encountered few problems in what I would describe as a disabled friendly property. It is well named as the suntrap courtyard had sun from breakfast till supper. Our hosts Fran and John were lovely and so keen to make sure we had no issues and thank you Fran for the welcoming cream tea! Finally, the property is in Sticker which is quite unspoilt and very friendly.

  Situated just outside St Austell, it was placed conveniently for exploring all areas of Cornwall with Lands End in the west, Looe in the east and Newquay in the north, all accessible within an hours drive. Mevagissey is less than 5 miles away and nearby are several sheltered coves and beaches. Local village has convenience store and dog friendly pub, and there is even a stock of popular paperbacks and DVDs available to borrow at the village bus stop. The cottage has all the facilities for either using as a base or to enjoy quiet times in the secure garden. The owner, Fran, lives in an adjacent house and is so friendly and welcoming. Fran even provides a welcome pack on essentials and a cream tea to see guests through their first night. Thorough enjoyable accommodation and locality. I heartily recommend Suntrap Hideaway to all holiday makers.

  A real pleasure! If you are worried the hard surface in the garden is not wholly suitable for your dog, don't be, there is enclosed grass they let you use. Also fully accessible, although no hand rails etc everything else was spot on for me with my mobility issues. The name is absolutely true! Sun all day on the patio and sun into the cottage but it didn't overheat either. It is really peaceful there and they really have thought of everything, and if they haven't, they would bend over backwards to accommodate and sort. Wonderful location for seeing the coast of St Austell, Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and so much more besides.
