All you need for a short break. Great to use to explore the St Ives area…. There’s a bus to all parts at the entrance. Didn’t use the entertainment on site but looked clean and tidy.

Tina’s home was tidy and cozy, just perfect for our little holiday. The holiday village was lovely, with playgrounds and various amenities. Convenient distance to wonderful beaches and restaurants. Tina was thoughtful and helpful, even left special treats for our children for Easter. We would stay again!

GOOD FOR THE SOUL!

The property was superbly equipped, exceptionally clean and just perfect for our short break. Set in woodlands, we saw a squirrel each day and birds in the trees! It was altogether peaceful and good four souls! Many thanks to Tina

Fabulous

Thanks so much Tina, we had an absolutely fantastic 5 night break away at Seagull’s Rest. The property itself is really lovely, super cosy and was absolutely spotless. Lots of attention to detail and even a hamper of essentials was provided for the pooch. The woodland grounds are equally as nice, with lots of squirrels and birds right on the doorstep. It was so quiet and peaceful and was the perfect base for our travels around Cornwall. We couldn’t have booked anywhere better for what we needed. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

So peaceful

We had a lovely stay here, my husband myself and our dog. The bungalow was perfect for a short getaway very comfortable beds and everything you need for self catering if you wish. Tina had also supplied treats and a ball for our dog! The area is so beautiful- amongst trees with so many different birds and squirrels that came to our door, Lovely woodland walk on site, also used the little shop. A perfect little break at Seagulls rest which we enjoyed very much. Thank you.

Excellent property

We had a wonderful long weekend at Seagulls Rest. Tina was brilliant throughout with excellent communication & thoughtful touches at the property. The property itself was clean, bright, well presented & well maintained. The bed in the main room was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The park was peaceful. We did not get a chance to check out the facilities but I noticed a shop & restaurant and what seemed like a nice woodland trail for walks. Highly recommended & I will certainly be checking if this property is available again next time we visit family in the area.

Seagulls rest

Overall it was ok. If definitely was not a 10 rating. The WiFi was spotty. I tried to call the host and I could not hear her. There needs to be more instructions on how to work things like the shower, the heater, and the doors are horrible to unlock. Two keys to unlock the doors leading into the unit. The unit was clean. The beds were comfortable enough.

Few days holiday in Seagulls Rest to visit relatives.

Very pleased with the property. Loved the location and comfort of the chalet which was very well equipped and cosy. Wished that we had similar accommodation available to us in Derbyshire.

Amazing stay

From clicking the book button everything was outstanding. Tina was very professional and friendly with the messages she sent. To even messaging us 2 hour early saying that seagulls was ready for us the lodge was very clean and cosy. Me and my partner was staying for our 7 year anniversary and the the only way we could describe the lodge was a little love shack! Absolutely amazing from start to finish would highly recommend and we will be sure to be booking again soon :)
