About this property
Jonwyns, a characterful three-bedroom holiday home, is tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Trewarmett, a stone's throw from Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel in Cornwall. Brimming with history dating back over 200 years whilst boasting a bright and homely interior, Jonwyns makes an excellent base for an adventure in Cornwall. Park up in one of three spaces provided before unloading your belongings and making your way inside your new home-from-home to begin your staycation. As you move through the hallway of this lovely abode you will find the warm and welcoming sitting room; look forward to snuggling up in front of the crackling woodburning stove with your loved ones for an evening. When stomachs start to rumble, enjoy the open-plan kitchen/diner resting at the garden end of the property, beautifully-adorned with wooden apex ceilings effortlessly blended together with a contemporary décor, complete with underfloor heating to warm your toes. Uncork a bottle of wine and take a seat on the relaxing sofas or at the dining table as the designated chef utilises the fabulous range of conveniences provided to rustle up an array of hearty treats. In the warmer months, make mealtimes an alfresco affair by firing up the pizza oven or barbeque in the garden; a truly lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple. Alternatively, enjoy the stunning views from the cabin deck, across the fields to the Prince of Wales Tine Mine; a real place of Cornish heritage! When the darker skies roll in, retreat indoors and climb the stairs to the first floor to catch your rest in one of three well-presented bedrooms, comprising of two doubles, one with access to its own en-suite including a bath, along with a family room fit with a bunk and a single, perfect for sleepovers for the little ones! Preparing for another day of adventure in the morning couldn't be easier, with a shower room set across the way from the bedrooms and a handy wet room positioned on the ground floor, also perfect for washing off sandy toes or muddy paws. For those evenings when you fancy a break from the kitchen, head to the local pub, The Port William Inn, and indulge in some hearty pub fare in a truly magnificent setting where children and dogs are made very welcome. For a wider variety of choice, the high-street in the nearby village of Tintagel is bustling with an array of delicious eateries to choose from, promising to serve something to cater for all tastes and budgets. The glorious sands of Trebarwith Beach rest nearby and offer a tranquil spot to paddle the shores of the glistening waters, try your hand at surfing or watch the sun as it sets across the horizon beyond the impressive Gull Rock. For more seaside adventures, head south along the coast to Port Isaac, Polzeath and Rock, each brimming with sights, attractions and amenities. From Rock you can easily catch the ferry for a short ride to the very pretty Padstow. Those looking to explore the great outdoors will be spoilt for choice with both the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Dartmoor National Park within easy reach; lace up your walking boots and traverse through miles of spectacular rural landscape. With so much to see and do, round up your loved ones and embark on a well-needed adventure to Jonwyns.
Jonwyns is situated on the outskirts of the little hamlet of Trewarmett, with stunning views across the valley and only a short distance from Tintagel. A short walk takes you to the north Cornish coastline's steep cliffs and stunning views. It is a wonderfully positioned vacation location for walking the South West Coastal Path, seeing the high mountains of neighbouring Bodmin Moor, or lounging on the beach at nearby Trebarwith Strand. The famed fishing village of Port Isaac and the town of Tintagel, with its tourist hotspots and King Arthur's fabled castle, are all within a short drive, as is the gorgeous surfing beach of Polzeath, which is only nine miles away. Nearby lies Slaughtersbridge, where King Arthur is said to have fought his final fight, and a journey north along the coast takes in the picturesque cove at Crackington Haven. Delabole Quarry, located close down the road, is a fascinating tourist site with breathtaking vistas. It is the starting point for beautiful rural hikes. Local buses serve a number of towns and villages with a stop in Trewarmett itself, opposite the house.

Weather was kind so we explored each day and made use of the house to eat in with a meal at Kind Arthur's in Tintagel which was great. Little Jonwyns was a new venture with the lighting app but sorted and worked well. A bit chilly so the extra blankets were great! A little note to say that the bunk room in Jonwyns really is not suitable for adults at all even on the single - a little cramped but it certainly didn't spoil our stay. We all would definitely consider a revisit but it is always good to travel in a different area but never say never. Thank you so much for the goodies left too!

Was well equipped and even better than on the photos. The only thing that was dissapointing was that the mattress in the master bedroom was quite uncomfortable. As the rest of the house is furnished to such a high standard, its a shame the matrress did not make for a comfortable nights sleep and the blinds did not keep any light out of the room.

unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to make use of the garden and patio. Our dog quickly settled in the dog bed making himself at home and I found a couple of short walks across the road for to exercise him in the mornings. It would have been helpful to have known that the only means of making coffee was a pod machine, and a few more dish washer tablets would have made life easier (maybe one for each day of the stay) But overall we had a great time thank you
