Guests say
Dene Court is a well-regarded cottage in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, praised for its high standard, comfort, and beautiful garden. Guests appreciate its proximity to the beach, spacious rooms, and useful facilities like the outdoor shower and wetsuit drying room. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience is highly recommended for a relaxing stay.
The property is generally considered clean, with one report of dog hairs which required additional cleaning. However, this seems to be an isolated incident as other reviews highlight the property's cleanliness upon arrival.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and coastal walks. The steep walk from the beach and the garden's suitability for dogs and those with mobility issues are noted, but the overall sentiment about the location is very positive.
Guests find the property comfortable, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The presence of two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen contribute to the comfort of the stay.
Facilities like the outdoor shower, wetsuit drying rack, and laundry room are appreciated. However, some guests suggest improvements such as a larger fridge, a car charger, and better plumbing for the dryer. The outdoor shower being stuck on hot is a noted concern.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Embark on a luxurious escape to this holiday home with your friends and family to get a true taste of the Cornish coast and make the most of being just half a mile away from the nearest beach. Boasting fantastic social spaces inside and out, this property is a great place to reunite, celebrate and make memories with the ones you love. For a taste of adventure, pack a picnic and head off to hike a section of the South West Coast Path where you’ll find breathtaking landscapes and blissful beaches to stop off at for a rest.
As you enter the property, you’ll be welcomed by the spacious hall where you can put down your bags and take off your shoes. To one side, you’ll find the entrance to the opulent living room with its fabulous gas fireplace, deep sofas, cosy loveseat and thoughtful touches throughout. In the opposite direction is the dining room where guests can gather together for mealtimes or to play board games. From here, you can access the unique kitchen with its sea-inspired cabinets and modern appliances that make cooking for large numbers an easy feat. Completing the ground floor is a WC. Upstairs are the four double bedrooms, each of which has its own unique style. Finally, there is both a bathroom and a shower room where you can refresh after a day out exploring. The garden area extends the living space into the great outdoors, with a lush green lawn, outdoor shower, fire pit and plenty of seating so that you can make the most of the picturesque coastal views.
Mawgan Porth Beach (half a mile) is an idyllic option for families, with plenty of rock pools and caves to explore as well as a large expanse of sand which is well worth visiting at all times of the year. From here, you can venture off on a stretch of the South West Coast Path towards the fishing port of Padstow (11 miles) or Newquay (5 miles). Newquay itself is home to a total of twelve beaches, all offering something a little different and it is known for being a great spot to surf or try several other watersports, as well as a number of lovely local eateries.

Good size property, well equipped and comfortable for a large family/group. The outdoor shower and drying room were very useful additions. Lovely area, the beach, pubs/restaurant/shops in the town were in reasonable walking distance although bear in mind it’s uphill all the way back.

Lovely cottage, clean, comfortable, well decorated and spacious enough for 6 of us. The views were fabulous and the garden a pleasure to sit in. The walk up from Mawgan Porth is a bit of a climb but not a challenge if you’re fit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we were lucky with a sunny week in June so enjoyed walks and plenty of beach time. We’ll definitely be back.
