What guests say:

“We loved Hillcote. It's a beautifully presented, luxurious property in a great location. Easy access to many fabulous beaches (Trevone was our favourite) and of course benefits from all of the amenities of Wadebridge itself. Look forward to returning and would definitely recommend.” Mrs Edwards

“A gorgeous property with everything you need to make your getaway feel extra special. A real home-from-home place with the type of attention to detail we haven't really seen in other properties. The owners clearly have spent great time and expense to create Hillcote and it will certainly be the first place we check availability on again next time we are travelling in this beautiful part of the country.” Mr Shea
