LOCATION

Shilbury Retreat Cottage will appeal to guests seeking a peaceful location in the heart of the countryside yet close to the North Cornish coast. The cottage is accessed along a quiet unmade country lane and stands in the grounds of the owners home with its own secluded garden and parking area. There are many miles of surrounding off-road tracks for the keen walker and cyclist and the coastal village of Perranporth three miles away can also be accessed on foot via a network of lanes and footpaths.

Perranporth itself offers a classic mix of shops, cafes and restaurants together with local golf and tennis clubs. Perranporth's spectacular beach is famed for its golden sands and rolling surf, coastal walks and the unique Watering Hole beach bar and restaurant.

From this central location in the County it is easy to join the A30 trunk road to visit the many other beautiful beaches along the north coast between St Ives and Padstow or, venture further afield along the picturesque south coast down to Lands End. The cathedral city of Truro is a few miles away with its mainline railway station and wide range of shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants.

Feedback for Shilsbury Retreat Cottage

The owners are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The condition of the building inside looks tired. We both could not get comfortable on the furniture as both sofas sink in the middle. There was no aspects of luxury like soft furnishings. There was a smell in the kitchen cupboards and some of the crockery was chipped also broken kitchen cupboard handles. It was very basic. There was no freezer so unable to pack yourself a lunch and keep it cold in the hot weather.The pillows on the beds were flat and very used. It was difficult to find. The directions were not helpful. I would not recommend or stay again.

Our 3rd stay at Shilbury Retreat

Having stayed here in 2015 and 2016, we would have returned sooner had it not been for the Covid lockdowns. The cottage is nicely out of the way of the hustle and bustle of daily life. The track from the road is passable to most cars but, I would not risk a lowered car or one with a low body kit. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The cottage is very comfortable for a couple and dog friendly. There are long walks available on the local tracks with some nice views along the way. There are golf courses nearby if you like that sort of thing. A well stocked local shop and post office is just up the lanes onto the road at Goonhavern. The cottage is well placed to explore Cornwall, being not too far from the main A and B roads. Accessibility wise, there are three small steps from the parking area to the cottage garden and one small step into the cottage. There is a wet room shower with WC and basin. I am ambulant disabled and had no difficulties with using the cottage facilities at all. We will return again one day.
