Cosy Retreat

The „River Valley Studio“ offers a small but comfortable home on two levels, ideal to explore the area from here. Easy communication with host family, clear rules and the wonderful british hospitality. Everything is available, no extras but just perfect for 2 people. Thank you for giving us a Cornwall Feeling in the middle of green nature and botanical highlights!

without car

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment. It even has a washing machine, although this isn't mentioned in the description.We didn't have a car, but that wasn't a problem as it's easy to get around Cornwall by train and bus from the house: a supermarket is less than a 10-minute walk away and the train station is less than 20 minutes away.

Well located holiday apartment with good starting point for excursions

The holiday apartment is well located, has everything you need and was very clean and tidy. From St. Austell you can easily reach many beautiful destinations and you can also get to the south coast fairly quickly, where you can go on wonderful hikes. The landlords are very nice and friendly. Everything was in immaculate condition. We arrived by car, which is useful for excursions.

Lovely studio

The studio was perfect for our needs and with plenty of space. Of a high standard. Love the fact the kitchen is separate and down stairs. St Austell was a bit of a disappoint but the studio is perfect for travelling around to lots of areas. Definitely would recommend

Cornwall

I was alone, 80 years old and without a car The accommodation was too far from town centre and there was nothing to eat on my arrival which was late on a Sunday evening I can take responsibility for this but it would have been helpful to pop in notes you do need a car …..

St. Austell Gover

A very quiet studio in a nice neighborhood at the margin of St. Austell, clean and rather spacy, with a full-fledged kitchen. It's a 20 min walk from the bus and railway station. Good if you are quite mobile: the southern and the northern coast is within easy reach. A well-sorted co-op is within walking distance. A wooded ravine provides a nice walk, the next scenic coast (near Mevagissey) is about 15 min away by car, the harbour of St. Austell 10 min. The hosts are very helpful and can give a lot of helpful advices!

Excellent

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property, it was cosy, clean and had everything we needed! The location was great for travelling around Cornwall. St Austell would have been better if there were a greater selection of bars/restaurants. We also thought the shower pressure could’ve been a bit stronger. Overall, a really good choice of accommodation, reasonably priced and the hosts were lovely! Would definitely recommend and return :)
