Peaceful Coastal Holiday

The Mowhay was a beautiful, peaceful place to base our mini break. Gorgeous views out to sea and onto the moorland above. The flat is spacious, spotlessly clean and with very good facilities. Pauline and Des gave us a warm and friendly welcome and we look forward to seeing them again when we no doubt rebook this great find.

Quiet and Relaxing

Had very good communication with Des and Pauline prior to my arrival at the property. I was welcomed with tea bags, milk and biscuits waiting for me in the kitchen. Des and Pauline are extremely friendly and helpful and live in the adjacent building if needed. The property has views on three sides and was very clean and bright throughout. There is a large well-equipped kitchen and large lounge with a dining table and two sofas. The hamlet is quite remote, so I would say a car is essential. However, it is the perfect location to explore the North and South on the Cornish West coast. I am happy to recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break in the Cornish countryside and look forward to booking it again.

Loved It

We needed a place to get away, and this was it. Though our stay was during a school break, we'd have never known it until we drove into Saint Ives. The cottage was as described and was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The views were so mesmerizing it was difficult to leave for our daily explorations. Pauline was helpful yet unobtrusive. The folder with recommendations, information, and a map was useful and thoughtful. We loved this place.

Great Position

Great position for touring the granite coast & tin mines, not forgetting the fabulous coastline and beaches. The Mohay is an ideal crash pad for 2
