Beautifully and individually designed we felt so at home. Everything we could conceivably need was provided. Splatt House is ideally located for so many different activities - wonderful cliff walks on the doorstep, excellent surfing beaches only a few minutes drive away, history at every turn. We particularly enjoyed walking from the cottage through parc shady and along the beaches and cliffs to Perranporth and a boat trip down the Fal from Bodmin to Falmouth and on to the Roseland peninsula. We cannot rate this cottage highly enough. On warm days, the garden is a delightful place with buzzards flying overhead and on cooler evenings, the open log fire was so cosy. We were greeted on our arrival with home baked brownies, fresh flowers in the rooms and a wealth of details of places to visit in the vicinity. 10/10.

“The cottage was just right for us Down a very quiet lane perfect for exploring the area No dishwasher,microwave or washing machine to get in the way.”

“A very unusual house.”

We will be returning another time.

“Wonderful ans Coup cottage.”

Feeling like coming home. A quiet place in a landscape that leaves you speechless. Courtesy and frendliness characterize the people we met. Again a very nice holiday.
Mrs Leddy August 2018

“This is a lovely cottage, full of character.”

We must love it as it's the fourth week we've stayed here in 3 years.
Mrs Whittemore July 2018

“Splatt House is an immaculately clean excellently equipped and well located holiday let.”

We were 5 adults and enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful walks right on the doorstep (1.5 mile walk to the best beach in Cornwall down leafy quiet tracks with stunning views) and a very short drive to many other coastal villages and towns, including lovely St. Agnes. We highly recommend. Splatt House is an old rural cottage so be realistic in your expectations; no dishwasher or washing machine and creaky floorboards etc. We loved it.

“Not only was Splatt house in a perfect location it was an artistic treat!”

The mosaic flooring downstairs was like being in a sweetie shop, not knowing where to look. Very relaxing atmosphere, buzzards soaring overhead and even a distant peacock! The house had enough room for all six of us plus a very energetic puppy. What a treat! Wished we'd stayed for longer.
Mr Dixon July 2018

“Was a wonderful cottage, very quirky,and comfortable.”

Would love to return. The home baking, tea,coffee and milk was a nice surprise. A washing machine would have been usefull during our stay.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely part of Cornwall”

We are a family of 2 adults 4 children 7-13 and dogs, We have had such a wonderful 2 week stay at Splatt House. The house is lovely and beautifully presented and has a unique tiled floor throughout all of the downstairs. There is just one rug downstairs, so no need to worry about wet dogs and children with muddy feet (we rolled rug up to keep clean) We found the beds comfortable with lovely duvets, another twin would have suited us better the girls objected a little to sharing a double. The lane outside the house is very quiet, and there is a lovely walk from the cottage along a stream (Park shady). There are some lovely places to go even in peak season with dogs. The owner recommended St. Ives Ceramics to me because I said I like Ceramics, Wow that made my holiday! We brought our tent so when we leave tomorrow we are camping locally as the weather is so good and we don't want our lovely holiday to end.

About the location

MOUNT HAWKE

Porthtowan 2 miles ; St Agnes 2.5 miles ; Truro 7.5 miles

Mount Hawke is a small village just outside St Agnes and Porthtowan on the north Cornish coast. Once heavily involved in the local copper mining industry, today Mount Hawke is quiet and mainly residential. There is a church which is dedicated to St John the Baptist, and a very good gastro pub – The Old School Bar & Kitchen – which is, as the name suggests, in a restored, traditional school building. There is also a Post Office, a couple of shops, a primary school, village park and Cornwall’s largest indoor skate park. Porthtowan beach is a pleasant walk from the village, through woodland and a pretty valley, and St Agnes Beacon and the coastal footpath are also within easy reach. Kayak hire and tours are available at St Agnes, as are surf lessons. There are also riding stables at nearby Goonbell, which offer countryside hacks and treks as well as pub hacks, summer picnic rides and children’s Pony Days.

Note: Low lintel (5’4”) to steep open tread stairs (top stairgate) up to landing (5’5” lintel)
