The Laurels
What a gem The Laurels is. We enjoyed a long weekend at the cottage and had everything we needed. Lovely welcome package to arrive to after a long drive and lots of information about what to visit in the area. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Would definitely visit again. Five stars!

Lovely terraced cottage tastefully decorated. Local pub has now closed so you need to drive. Local village shop is very handy just across the road. Around 10 min drive to St Agnes which is a really nice spot. Did miss not having Wi-Fi and the on street parking for more than one car is tricky.

A wonderful week in a lovely cottage
The Laurels was the perfect base for our week at half term. Set in a quiet street, with outdoor space both at the front and back of the property, we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has literally everything you could need, and is very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, and everything has been very well considered for a holiday home from home.

Great weekend
Lovely Easter weekend spent at The Laurels. The cottage is in a great location and very warm and cosy. Even though the weather wasnt freezing we couldnt resist lighting the fire after a day out exploring Cornwall. Very clean and has everything that you need. Lovely little welcome basket with some Easter treats went down well. Will definitely stop here again.

Charming and delightful cottage - The Laurels
This cottage has just about everything one could possibly want in a holiday cottage. The owners have thought very carefully about what should be available on the premises and we arrived with quite a few items that we thought we might need but all were already there! Absolutely delightful little house which was warm and very comfortable with several separate downstairs areas that allowed privacy if you want this. We hosted a family Christmas lunch for six adults (though only three staying) and it was just brilliant. If we need accommodation close to Perranporth again then this will definitely be our choice.
