"Really impressed."
Property was spotless and very modern in style. The welcome guide was very comprehensive and contained a huge amount of information on the local area, places to visit, takeaways, etc. The location was very quiet and near a beautiful beach (although it's a steep walk back up). The hot tub was excellent and was a great way to relax in the evening. Although the weather wasn't the best for a couple of days, we had a fantastic time and would like to say a big thank you to the owners :)
Thank you for your lovely feedback, fantastic guests who we would welcome back anytime. Property Owner

"Beautiful house in a beautiful location."
We had a lovely time. The owners left a folder of information about not just the house and the facilities, but also about the surrounding area, which really came in useful. Some very cosy evenings in were had, and some slightly colder nights were made better with the hot tub! Thanks very much for having us.

"Lovely property with plenty of space for 6 people."
Hot tub was a great hit with the little ones, which was checked and cleaned every day by the owners. Stunning views of the rolling hilltops and secluded location. There was a shop around the corner, but nothing else within walking distance. No takeaway deliveries so you will need to drive for this. Kitchen area was easy to navigate so cooking was a breeze.
Thank you for your lovely review we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Penlaurel. We would welcome you back. Property Owner

"We had a fantastic Easter break at Penlaurel."
Everything was spotlessly clean and ready for our arrival. The welcome book is the most comprehensive I've ever read and the house had all we needed to make our stay comfortable and a real home from home. The hot tub is a great way to relax after a day in the surf or walking in the countryside and the log burner would be great to create a cosy atmosphere in the colder months (we didn't need it though). Would definitely recommend this property as a base to explore the North Cornish coast.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad you loved your stay at Penlaurel Property Owner

"We had an amazing time and the accommodation felt between home and hotel."
Not too much home so that you can't relax but also not too much hotel so you feel displaced. Kids give 100% each = 200% Wife gives 100% - 99% come from the amazing Hot-Tub :-) I give 99.9% - since I had to do the washing on my vacation. It would have been nice to have a bigger washing stand. It was a bit small for four considering two kids rolling in the mud at Cornwalls amazing beaches. We will definitely come back if we find a free slot for a booking. Thanks for letting us stay , we had such a great time.
Thank you for your lovely feed back, hope to see you soon back in Crackington Property Owner
