See what our guests say about their holidays at Pentonwarra


Our 12th year at Pentonwarra has been filled with delight and many beautiful sunsets. I enjoyed sitting on the headland and watching the sun go down. Of course we went in the sea every day. We cannot wait to return.

Yet again a wonderful, uplifting place to be. Love Pentonwarra, the sea, sunsets, and walks.
— May 2022
Pentonwarra is an incredible experience every time we come. The sea is different every day and this year we’ve had dramatic waves. What a joyous, joyous week again. Thank you.
— April 2022
What a gorgeous and magical place to spend precious time with family! This has been the most perfect place to connect and spend time together. We have loved the beautiful coastal walks, sitting on the balcony watching the sea, and exploring the cliffs. Every detail of this house inspires relaxation. Thank you for creating such a magical place!
— March 2022
Another wonderfully relaxing holiday at Pentonwarra. So much fun with the grandson. A magical place, beautifully set between two totally different beaches – so much choice. Will be back!
— March 2022
We have walked the coastal path for over 30 years past Pentonwarra and always wondered what it was like inside. Now we know – an amazing home, so warm and welcoming. A magical few days. Thank you so much!
— February 2022
Had the most amazing special time! Beautiful house! Always wondered what it was like inside! It’s amazing. The house is immaculate and very comfortable and warm. We all loved our stay. Thank you!
— December 2021
Such a beautiful house, garden, terrace, and beaches! Just what we needed. We hired wetsuits and went bodyboarding, we walked to Trevose Head, chips in Padstow, and lots of lovely mornings on the terrace. Heart is full! Thank you. P.S. Big thanks for the housekeeper – spotless and the welcome pack was brilliant.
— October 2021
We missed being able to come in 2020 because of the virus but this year has been great. A lovely family home in a great location—being so close to the sea has its own magical aura. Thank you for all you have done to make our visit so comfortable and memorable. Bring on the next time!
— July 2021
Our 11th time here at Pentonwarra and it didn’t disappoint us. We went in the natural pool more than usual and even braved it without wetsuits! The waves were minimal until midweek so it was nice to put the bodyboards to use. We love this house so much and thank everyone who takes care of it. See you in 2022!
— June 2021
Back for our second visit after 17 years! Pentonwarra still just as beautiful and stunning.
— May 2021
What a magical place—we’ve had a wonderful week and will definitely be back.
— April 2021
The perfect place to rest and recover. Pentonwarra remains a special place—even more so this year.
— October 2020
We haven’t moved the car since we arrived—we’ve had wall-to-wall sunshine and so hired paddle boards, walked to Harlyn, ran to Padstow, and watched the sun set every evening. Booked again for our fifth visit in 2022. Thank you!
— April 2021
Coming here to Pentonwarra is one of the highlights of my year and I’m so grateful we were still able to come even with the pandemic. And yet every year the week goes just as quickly—never quite fitting everything we want to do in. For me, one of the best things in the house is the piano—it’s lovely to sit and play whilst the sea crashes in the background. I can’t wait for next year.
— August 2020
A fabulous week aided by the efforts of Storm Dennis! Views of the sea were breathtaking, enhanced by the superb situation of Pentonwarra. We hope to return soon.
— February 2020
Yet again a wonderful stay. The house is just perfect. A huge thank you to Emily. Nine nights still wasn’t long enough. Always sad to leave.
— February 2020
Another magical stay with our children and grandchildren—this is such a special place and as always our time here was joyous!
— November 2019
THANK YOU for the most fabulous stay at Pentonwarra! We’ve loved exploring and walking the coastline around. The BBQ has been fantastic and we all have great memories of our week here. The house is amazing and in such a special location being able to see and hear the sea. I hope we’ll be back!
— September 2019
A truly magical family holiday—the house has such a beautiful location, unsurpassed by anywhere we have stayed before. We hope to be back another year!
— August 2019
A truly amazing week in Pentonwarra; we have holidayed in Trevone before and were always keen to stay here so were delighted when it became available this year. The house is a true gem and the secluded garden the perfect place to watch the sun go down in the evening. Love the view out to sea and down the coast. My 14 year old son is a big fan of the ‘cabin’ room and when the tide comes in it is like being at sea. Can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you!
— July 2019
We had a wonderful time in Pentonwarra. It’s a truly magical place. We enjoyed the cosy nooks, the marvellous garden, the spectacular beaches, and quite a few walks along the coastline. Even the weather was magnificent. We can well imagine that this is the place for an astronomer to look at the stars and power the mysteries of our universe! For sure we will be back!
— May 2019
What a beautiful place! Amazing to be able to wake up to the sight of the sea out of the window and walk down in 5 seconds to the beach. We all had a brilliant time both inside and outside! Thank you for a great week.
— April 2019
What an incredible place, and beautiful location. The rockpools are amazing and I felt privileged to have them almost to ourselves. Great for day trips out but amazing for lazy days by the beach. We can see why people return here year after year: this is the first holiday home we’ve ever thought of returning to. We couldn’t have asked for a better welcome and the weather was great too!
— April 2019
The magical qualities of Pentonwarra and Trevone have worked again. Blissful few days walking and snoozing. Enjoyed stargazing this time. Thanks for the respite—recharged now, and already planning return trip.
— February 2019
Being a local girl, I’ve always longed to stay at Pentonwarra and it has been even better than I dreamed it would be. full of character, tasteful touches and stunning views—a peaceful haven to ride out the storms. Everything from the welcome pack and communication to the clean and cosy rooms: it couldn’t have been better. The whole family will be booking for next year! Extra thanks to Emily, the housekeeper, not just for the great job she does, but for checking all was good after the storm (it was!).
— January 2019
It’s been the most glorious week in Trevone, quite possibly the best we’ve ever seen it looking! To swim from Rocky Beach to Sandy Beach has been a pure joy! The sunsets have been out of this world and no better place to be during this hot weather. We will remember this holiday for a long time ... to summarise, Pentonwarra is the only place to stay in Trevone! Thanks so much for a wonderful time.
— July 2018
Our 8th year here has not been any less amazing. We managed to go rockpooling almost every day, braved the icy natural pool, and caught many waves out on Sandy Beach. This house and its perfect surroundings never disappoint us ... can’t wait to return next year.
— June 2018
We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate an 82nd birthday: glorious sunshine, phenomenal scenery, lazy days by the sea. Perfect!
— May 2018
Our second fabulous visit to Pentonwarra and we had another brilliant time. Visits to Eden Project, Tintagel, and a walk along the coast to Padstow were all highlights. Watched sunset pretty much every night. Thank you.
— April 2018
8 years ago I set out to walk from Land’s End to Cape Wrath. I passed by Pentonwarra on day 4 and thought it beautiful enough to take a photo. Now we have just spent a week here and the house is more beautiful than I could possibly have imagined. I hope I will come here again.
— March 2018
Having an amazing time in this wonderful house. Enjoying breakfast looking out over the crashing waves ... love it here.
— March 2018
Once again, Pentonwarra, thank you for a wonderful week!
— February 2018
We have had a magical time in this beautiful house ... Thank you so much for keeping this house so beautiful for others to enjoy.
— November 2017
The most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had. The beautiful house, lovely walks on the beach, and snoozes have refreshed bodies and minds. We return to London begrudgingly but extremely grateful, hopeful for a quick return. Thank you!
— November 2017
Had an amazing second week here, highlights being the pool, the sea, the food, and the trip to Padstow. Loved my cosy little bedroom. Hope to come again. Thank you!

A few words cannot do justice to the joy Pentonwarra has given us ... sheer delight and pleasure!

Our first time, and what a fabulous time was had! What a great cottage—fresh sea air, cosy beds, Wimbledon, great walks, and rockpooling!
— July 2017
Back again. As joyful and magical as ever and a truly special place to be with our growing family!
— June 2017
Another fantastic week at Trevone. Surf this year was the best ever and the water temperature was lovely—even without a wetsuit!
— May 2017
We’ve been to Cornwall several years running as a family but never stayed anywhere IN THE WORLD quite like Pentonwarra! We’ve rockpooled, body boarded at Trevone Bay, taken surfing lessons at Harlyn Bay, run 16k to Padstow along the coastal path, lowered our lunch on a pulley/bucket to the beach below and more and more and more! We have already re-booked for next Easter.
— April 2017
Had a fab stay at Pentonwarra. Great house, cosy, with views to die for! Almost didn’t want to leave it to go anywhere, and enjoyed coming back. Great place, we will return.
— March 2017
Thank you so much — lovely cosy house with beautiful views of the beach and the sea. Enjoyed being so close to the beach and going in the sea. We all had a lovely time and would all love to come again. Thank you Pentonwarra.
— February 2017
After having arrived we quickly settled into a place which is rapidly becoming a happy place for us all. With short days came the opportunity to spend mor time in the comforting and cosy Pentonwarra. Overall despite dubious weather another stay at this beautiful place was thoroughly enjoyed.
— January 2017
Thank you so much! Beautiful location, exceedingly warm and snug, very well equipped and above all else highly atmospheric — never stayed in a house so close to the sea! Very special.
— December 2016
Thank you! It was as special as we’d always hoped. We’ll be back!
— November 2016
Back again! Just too perfect to stay away! Here with children and grandchildren — pure joy.
— October 2016
It just becomes better and better.
— September 2016
Thank you once again Pentonwarra for another magical stay. A much loved home from home.
— August 2016
What more can we say!? A lovely place to stay—thanks Pentonwarra!
— July 2016
Another wonderful stay, this time with family making a first visit—they agree: truly magical! It is such a special place.
— June 2016
Our second time at Pentonwarra. Another fabulous stay in this magical location. Really enjoyed our five-mile walk to Padstow—fantastic views! Relaxing in the sunshine on the terrace is the most Zen way to spend a long weekend.
— June 2016
What a great week with excellent weather every day. Views as ever are breathtaking.
— May 2016
A beautiful, peaceful place, where watching the changing sea makes you forget time. Being sent to sleep listening to the rhythms and sound of waves, seeing the amazing stars at night and being able to walk the coast from the door—what more could you ask for!
— April 2016
Pentonwarra is an amazing and stunning property. We had spectacular weather all week and watched some rather impressive sunsets both from the balcony over the beach and from the fort-like balcony just off the garden. Thank you for a lovely week—we hope to return soon.
— April 2016
Pentonwarra provided a perfect place for Spring Break. The cottage comfortable (4 adults, 2 children) and the location fabulous. The proximity to the beaches as well as to other sights in Cornwall were ideal. All 3 generations of the family thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are already planning for the next trip back!
— March 2016
Our fifth time and oh what a wonderful time shared with an almost grown up family. Surf was up, weather was great, and the wonderful deep bath at the end of the day. Thank you again.
— February 2016
Pentonwarra is rapidly becoming our family “happy place”—such a gorgeous house, in a perfect location. It was as lovely in winter (for New Year), complete with storms outside, as it was for a very sunny spring week last year. The house warms up really quickly and was very cosy and worked well even at full capacity (4 adults and 4 children including one teenager who loves the cabin room “cave”). With suitable clothing, the beaches and coastal paths are as enjoyable in winter as in summer—highly recommended.
— December 2015
Well, the only problem with Pentonwarra is going to be trying to leave. We’ve had an incredible few days of sunshine and have enjoyed walking, sleeping, painting, shopping in Padstow, knitting, cooking... and of course Cornish pasties and cream teas and fish and chips. What a treat to have a piano, and so many places to sit and ponder, inside and out... we really must try again to leave...
— October 2015
We have loved it! Everything! Thank you so much.
— November 2015
The website description and photos—excellent as they are—don’t begin to do this extraordinary property justice. Being there in the flesh is something else. Unbelievable sea views. Spectacular seclusion. Quirky in the extreme - and all modern conveniences. Can’t wait to come back.
— May 2015
We were amazed at the beauty of Pentonwarra, the two beaches either side, and the convenient distance to Padstow where we spent lots of our time. Thank you so much for the perfect stay.
— April 2015
An amazing month. Some Caribbean weather and a fantastic time with lots of visiting friends. We’ll be back—to learn to surf!
— August 2014
A wonderful week again. Wonderful weather, 14th year running—must be 18 visits! Thanks so much!
— July 2014
What a fantastic house in a fantastic location. We had 5 beautiful days here so feel very privileged.
— June 2014
Honeymoon at Pentonwarra was the best decision ever! We married in secret without notifying anybody and went here afterwards. Very lovely place in all cases: suh, rain, storm! We will come back!
— May 2014
This is my fourth time I’ve been here. I had a wonderful time. I hope we come back soon... We went in the sea nearly every day. The week went so quickly. Age seven.
— May 2014
Lovely Easter break in amazing location—as good as the Caribbean when the sun is out!
— April 2014
We have been visiting this coast annually since we were children and have so many treasured memories of this area, but what an absolute privilege to have discovered this special place. Thank you, Pentonwarra, for a spectacular week. We hope to be back again soon!

[Here] For the second time, this time together with our parents. They totally agree: it’s a wonderful, warm, and cosy place.

We had a great week here at Pentonwarra! We will definitely come back here. Great swell for boogie-boarding, amazing rock pools and beautiful location between both beaches! We did not ever need to leave Trevone once!
— August 2012
We had a wonderful time (too short) at Pentonwarra. I have been visiting Trevone since I was seven years old, and now my kids can experience this wonderful place. Many thanks.
— June 2012
This really is a magical place. Thank you for sharing it with us again. We’ve had an amazing holiday.

The location of Pentonwarra is simply breathtaking. The 3 generations of this family had a wonderful time enjoying all that is on offer—sandy beach, rock pools, cliff walks, seafood, and pubs!
