Gull Rock View

Lovely cottage, great location

One of our best Classic Cottages finds. Beautiful interior decoration & a large, shady garden. Very well equipped & the review is incorrect that says Alexa is needed to operate the television & gadgets, easy to use. The location is superb, a short walk to the coast or village & a short drive to Truro or Falmouth or tourist attractions. ...

The directions to find the bungalow were excellent, even with the diversions we experienced just before Truro! The view from the bungalow was excellent, especially considering there are another couple or so rows of bungalows in front/below this one. We sat on the sofa in the living area and ate our breakfast looking at the wonderful views. We liked that we were within reasonable walking distance of Portscatho village and also Porthcurnick beach and other beaches too, if you wanted to walk a few more miles. The Hidden Hut which is above Porthcurnick beach is worth a visit with lovely views and food. For eating out, we went to nearby St.Mawes where there is more choice of places to eat. We personally found the staff at the Plume of Feathers unwelcoming. Maybe just caught them on an off day? The opening hours of The Boathouse were confusing and inaccurate with the website saying one thing and their blackboard outside the restaurant saying another thing and then not being open when the board outside said they were. The bungalow was an ideal base to visit the surrounding area. We met the owner, Yvonne, who was a lovely, personable lady. We would definitely recommend staying at the Gull Rock View for anyone wishing to stay in this part of Cornwall....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gull Rock View. It was conveniently located to be able to walk in to Portscatho centre which was nice. There is a beach within walking distance through the small car park down the road (5 minutes walk). The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed plus a full size fridge and freezer. We had our food shopping delivered with ease. You don’t have to use Alexa but we did for a few things. (Our children found it novel and enjoyed asking ‘Alexa, please tell me a joke’ many, many times.) It was lovely and quiet at night and waking up to the sun rising over sea views and Gull Rock was very enjoyable. ...

A beautifully situated property, easy access to the nearby village centre (with its well-stocked village shop, and a variety of good places for food and drink). In many ways ideal. But we must point that heating / TV / cooker etc preferably operated by Alexa. If that is your preference, you will be OK. Otherwise could be quite challenging....
