Simple and effective
We stayed over October half term and by the end of the week we wanted to return. We’ve been to other houses in Trevone and we’d return to this one, it’s not perfect but offers great stuff. Pro's; - It's spacious; big living room with lots of sofa room and a carpet to feel cosy - Loved the keyless/coded entry, meant we could get in and out easily and without having to worry about / share a key. - The wet / drying room - in the house but accessible from the outside/garden was great for us; using wetsuits twice a day in October, we needed an indoor area to strip off, get warm and to dry a lot of stuff. This is a real asset; it is a large area tiled floor to ceiling, warm from the water tank, with a double shower and drying racks - Good showers / bath - There's underfloor heating in the kitchen (obvs not needed for summer) Cons; - It's neat, tidy and well maintained but can feel sparse - The kitchen is a great size but is echoey acoustically (all hard surfaces and vaulted ceiling) which can make it hard for those with hearing and sensory sensitivities outside of summer - The curtains are lacking life and wouldn't work for our love of blackout in summer - Sheets and towels not included - which is made clear. It was not ideal for us because of the amount of stuff we have to already bring in the car alongside all linen and towels - Kids bunk bed wasn't ideal for our use; bit wobbly and the upper bunk too low enough for kids to hit heads on when sleeping on the bottom

Dear Julia. Thank you for your helpful review. You might like to know we already have plans in place to replace the bunk bed and upgrade the bedroom curtains with blackout liners ready for next season. Come back next year and see how we've got on ! Best wishes Peter.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is absolutely excellent. The utility room and wet room is a particular bonus after spending time on the beach. I feel the children’s bunk bed and mattresses are functional but could do with being replaced it also would have been nice to have bins in the bathroom. Comms have been great. Quick response times etc. would recommend.

Wonderful family retreat
Wonderful family property, perfectly located - just steps from two beaches (one sandy and one rock pool) and great walks. We had a fantastic time there and would love to return to Trevone. Has everything on the doorstep for a perfect family holiday.

A comfortable, dog-free, warm house close to the beaches
Finding a truly dog-free property (as somebody who has allergies) is nigh on impossible, so being reassured by Peter and spending the week at Kohinoor without even a sneeze was fantastic. I would recommend this lovely house to anybody with animal allergies (although there are some feather pillows). Peter was very good at answering my many many enquiries and the house itself was just right for our beach-type holiday needs with loads of space for the two of us - the double sized fridge and extra freezer were especially appreciated for storing the week’s shopping.

The house is perfect location for the beach and for exploring the rest of Cornwall. Excellently appointed, the utility room and downstairs shower make coming back from the beach so much easier. Could do with a bbq for those lovely summer evenings in the garden.

Beautiful home in a fabulous setting!
The property was exactly what my husband and four children needed for an amazing week in Trevone. A minute from the rocky beach, five mins from the natural swimming pool, 3 mins from the sandy bay. The property had a lovely large family kitchen, brilliant utility room with shower and space for drying wetsuits, large washing machine and dryer for towels but the washing line did for most things as the sun was out! Trevone is a lovely village with friendly folk. The surf shop and cafe serve brilliant pizzas and beer. Sam at the Trevone Adventures will take you kayaking or coasteering - our kids loved it. The ladies in the Farm shop were friendly and you could get most things. We barbecued at Boobys bay and watched the sunset. We body boarded on Constantine, Trevone and Boobys. We walked the costal paths and visited the lobster hatchery in Padstow. For my husbands birthday we had dinner at the Cornish Arms, expensive, but lovely service and very tasty food and drinks. Taxis are tricky and sadly Millers taxis are out of business. Book in advance to make sure you get one!

Koh I Noor
Koh I Noor is a fabulously light, warm, comfortable and perfectly located coastal property. The fabulous wet room accessed via the utility room off the garden is a major plus, as it contains a double hot shower for warming up after a bracing sea swim with hooks high on the tiled wall where wetsuits can be hung to dry over night from the warmth of the boiler. The kitchen diner is light, airy and convivial and the garden table catches the evening sun. Lovely soft carpets upstairs. We had a great stay here.

Perfect home from home
‘Kohinoor’ exceeded all expectations. The owners have thought of everything that a family may need in their holiday home. We spent a wonderful week enjoying the beach, sea water tidal pool, walks and the beach cafe. The house is ideally situated and we had no need to use our car at all. Can’t wait to return.

We loved the house and the location is stunning. The communal kitchen/ diner is a great social space and the lounge is cosy. The utility room and the twin showers are also a great facility. The house is really well equipped. You might want to consider putting waste bins in the bedrooms and bathrooms and it would be great if there was an option to book cleaners on vacating the property during the summer season. We would definitely use the house again. Many thanks.

Great location but ...
This sparsely decorated property is excellently located for the beaches and natural swimming pool at Trevone. Beautiful sunsets etc. The owner and his son were very good communicators. It would have been better if we didn't have to bring our own bedlinen and towels - yes, we knew we had to, but still, for the money ... - and if the mattresses were more comfortable (especially on the bunks), and the duvets/pillows provided were rather fuller. Surely they can be provided and changed over? Some sort of welcome pack of loo roll, washing up liquid etc would have been good too. In short, don't expect much here when you arrive, but it is a lovely place in a fab location.

Fantastic location - property tired and in need of bringing up to modern standards.
The photos do not represent the current state of the property. e.g. the image on this review does not show a large hedge/wall that make the kitchen feel dark and enclosed. The double-glazing has blown, the windows were dirty and in general the place is tired. The en-suite is tight....you have to walk and stand by the toilet to then close the door so you can reach the sink. The same with the downstairs cloakroom. Although everything is functional the pictures hide the fact that they were probably taken 20 years ago. We were not comfortable that a plumber turned up to carry out works without warning. The interior was shabby with holes in 2 the cushions provided in the living room and only 1 of the lamps worked. With some investment this could be tremendous as the location is wonderful, but this is low par for the price compared to others we have stayed at.

Kohinoor, Trevone
This is a delightfully spacious place to stay with all the services that you might need - such as shower and drying facilities suitable from straight-off-the-beach use. This was our 2nd visit and we were comfortable as 3 generations under one roof. The house is literally within 5 minutes of two distinct beaches - sandy and rocky and Trevone is a delightful little village.

The property was just right for us and very near the beaches (which were lovely).
We had two small chidren with us (1 and 3 yrs old) and both house and beaches were well suited to the (and us grown-ups). Trevone is quiet village but with amenities - shop, cafe, pub - and not over-crowded when we were there in early July. We had several longish walks along the cliff tops (and back cross-country once) which were absolutely glorious. Padstow is near and has a lot of restaurants &c but we preferred the quiet of Trevone. I fullyrecommend it.

Roomy, comfortable well equipped house. 2 minutes from the beach.
We were a party of 6. The property is very well proportioned the huge kitchen /diner was excellent, with a huge fridge and all mod cons. We were grateful for the wet room and utility room after getting caught in the rain and going for a swim on boxing day! A fantastic holiday thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. We will definitely consider "Khoinoor" for future holidays and will certainly recommend this property and Trevone Bay to family and friends. Look forward to coming again.

Perfect Location
We have had a lovely few days in this house. The beaches and walks round the headland really are within such a short walk from the house and the bay is gorgeous. We also walked to Padstow one day which was a lovely walk on the coastal path. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for our weekend break. I would definitely book again.

Perfect Family Holiday Property
Just spent a wonderful family holiday here. The location is perfect for children with great surfing, bathing and rock-pooling beaches two minutes walk away. So easy for carting the mountain of equipment that we appear to need and also for nipping back to collect the forgotten items. Plus no parking charges! The property itself is perfectly set up for families. Loads of space, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Particularly useful is the twin shower wet room in the utility room.Great for showering after after the beach without bringing sand into the house. Definitely recommend

house by the Cornish beach
A great place to stay - spacious and Good facilities especially the kitchen/diner and the ground floor shower facilities when back from the beach. Garden is a useful facility Parking for 3 cars so it allows family to stay for a few days and go. Beach cafe has good evening food so you don't have to cook every night but you have to book. Padstow close but expensive Trevone beach one of the best unless you are a top surfer

Great location, great house for families
The house is just around the corner from the beach which is ideal for families lugging lots of things down for a day at the beach! House is well presented and well kitted out for families (but not too pristine so you don't feel too bad about little feet walking in the odd bit of sand!) We love going to Trevone as it has a perfect little beach for all ages, local amenities in the village and right on the coastal path for a walk to Harlyn or Padstow. Would happily recommend Kohinoor House to others.

Geweldig huis op toplocatie
Het huis is licht, ruim en ook de tuin is lekker groot. Enorme keuken en aparte zitkamer. Zo zit je elkaar absoluut niet in de weg. Er is een aparte ingang naar de 'wet room', waar de wasmachine en droger staan, maar waar ook een badkamer is om je af te spoelen na het surfen. Je loopt zo naar het strand of de pub. Padstow is 5 minuten rijden, je kunt er prachtige wandelingen maken langs te kust. Trevone ligt heel handig voor uitstapjes naar het noorden, zoals Tintagel Castle of Boscastle en je bent in 20 minuten op de snelweg naar het Zuid-Westen. Echt een aanrader!
