Guests say
Five Elements Studio in Cornwall offers a peaceful, romantic escape with a wood-fired hot tub and beautiful gardens, ideal for couples and dog-friendly. Guests praise the cleanliness, the helpfulness of hosts Sari and Oli, and the tranquil location. Some guests experienced issues with the hot tub and mentioned a lack of certain amenities, but overall, the property provides a comfortable and private retreat close to scenic spots.
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting the spotless condition upon arrival. This suggests a well-maintained and cared-for rental.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, though some guests noted it is remote. The peaceful setting close to scenic towns like St Agnes and Perranporth is frequently mentioned positively.
Guests find the studio comfortable, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a cosy log burner. However, some guests mentioned a lack of storage space and uncomfortable outdoor furniture, slightly affecting the comfort score.
Facilities such as the hot tub and log burner are well-received, but some guests reported issues with heating the hot tub and a desire for additional amenities like a microwave. The maintenance of the access track and the hot tub's readiness were also concerns for some.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome hamper and the provision of logs for the burner, which guests found delightful. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Set in an idyllic rural location offering total relaxation, this studio-style cottage is set in a small hamlet approximately four miles from the stunning beaches of Perranporth and St Agnes. Driving down the narrow green Cornish lanes to this cottage you will leave the stresses and strains of everyday life behind you. Walk down to Five Elements Studio and take a while to appreciate the natural surroundings and beauty that surrounds you before entering and fully appreciating the delightful thoughtful and clever design of this special cottage. All open plan with a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area with a woodburner to add to the cosy romantic nature that exudes throughout. Outside the extra-large decked area is the perfect spot to relax at any time of day looking over the fields and down to the stream and woods below. There is a chiminea to keep you cosy in the garden on chillier evenings. The Studio also boasts a stunning wood fired hot tub (not lights or bubbles). Just a short drive will take you to many outstanding beaches, some of the best Cornwall has to offer. The world famous South West Coast Path is close by and the stretch around St Agnes Head is generally considered as one of the finest parts of the entire path with mile upon mile of breathtaking scenery. St Agnes has a choice of excellent pubs and restaurants with something to suit everyone as well as a selection of independent shops, galleries and craft workshops. With such a mining heritage steeped in history it is an area waiting to be explored. Perranporth has one of the finest beaches in the county with miles of golden sand, huge surf and sand dunes. With the Watering Hole pub directly on the beach, local food and ales as well as regular entertainment make this a popular destination for locals as well as holidaymakers. A wonderful location for a holiday at any time of year.
St. Agnes is a thriving picturesque village on the Cornish coast, with four beaches on the doorstep and surrounded by wonderful countryside. Swim or surf in the clear waters, walk the footpaths and bridleways or hop onto the South West Coast Path. Coasteering, kayaking and horse riding are all available locally, and St. Agnes has a regular programme of events and gigs for all the family to enjoy. The local shops offer an interesting selection of produce, from tasty treats to one-off pieces of art as a unique souvenir of your Cornish holiday, and there is a superb range of dining choices with two Great Cornish Food Awards in 2015.

The grounds are just beautiful and extremely private, just what we was hoping for with the dog. The hot tub is absolutely wonderful and great to relax in together. The location is perfect for getting to many good places in Cornwall, very quickly. St Agnes beach is 5 minutes drive away, absolutely amazing and dog friendly. Our week here was probably the best week we have spent together and we will be coming back next year. Thank you for a perfect holiday.

Room very pleasant and clean , but the kitchen ceiling light was very dusty . You are supplied with everything you need from a hot water bottle electric blanket hair dryer pots pans plates kettle toaster microwave ect

The hot tub experience was disappointing due to the slimy sides and lack of a built-in filter, resulting in bugs and grass floating around. Encountering one of the owners unexpectedly in the garden, especially without prior notice, felt intrusive, and the lack of concern or assistance when checking the communal postbox added to the discomfort of the situation. As he stood watching me without moving or speaking. Overall, while the property itself was nice, these experiences detracted from the overall enjoyment of the stay.
