"Turfrick is a beautiful cottage in a great location. We found it to be clean, bright, extremely comfortable and very dog friendly. The garden is superb for dogs and I'm sure excellent for sitting out in. We didn't really get the opportunity to sample it as we managed to pick the one week in June that was cool and virtually sun free. The cottage is well equipped with all the white goods that you could want and had really good technology - excellent fast broadband and Sky TV. The downside to the cottage, and one that shouldn't be underestimated, is its access and especially the parking. I had read the warning about the driveway and had researched it using Google maps street view and so had a good idea of what we were going to find. However, it was really extremely tricky to park a moderately large car on the driveway. The lane to the cottage is very narrow and steep and is lined by a cottage on one side and a wall on the other. There is no way I could have parked the car by myself. The car's sensors were screaming at me to abandon any attempt but these had to be ignored and I was reliant on my wife guiding me in with often just a couple of inches of clearance. The problems are exacerbated by the neighbours parking a Transit van at the bottom of the drive. This makes manouvering into the drive even harder. Alternative parking can sometimes be found in the village but there are only about five spaces. The approach to the cottage as described on the website omits the fact that there is a narrow, steep and often slippy path to reach the steps that are mentioned. We arrived with heavy bags and suitcases and found the effort required to be pretty exhausting. We are both retired and a younger couple would probably have managed easier. So would we go back - no chance. Loved the cottage and all its amenities and location but the access issues are just too much to consider it."

"This place is a lovely lovely place, beautiful views, fab location, everything you need for a home from home, including our two dogs staying free! The massive down side is the parking...or rather the driveway you need to scale to get to the parking space! It seriously needs looking at, how are people expected to go up a one way lane, reverse in said lane, 45' angle with stone walls either side up a sheer driveway?? What doesn't help the already difficult situation is there is a white van or pick up truck constantly parked at the bottom of the drive making the "swing round" reverse even harder. We both felt this really let the property down as we were even going to book to return next year but after a week of hassle parking, we will not be returning. We paid good money for the beautiful house and expect to have half decent parking to go with it. We know Cornwall very well and have been coming here for over 30 years so we know all about lanes and tight spaces but unfortunately this one takes the biscuit. So sorry to write this but I feel it is not stressed enough in the description of the property."

"We have just returned from a lovely week break in Lanes End house, Cornwall, St Agnes. The property we rented was brilliant. Very comfortable and extremely well equipped. It was a lovely place to stay, lovely views over the fields and some sea views from bedroom windows too. The couple who met us at the house were very nice people, informative and helpful Thank you.., They had done a wonderful job on the house when we arrived.The beach was down the road down a pleasant country road. Everything was perfect and we even had fantastic weather. The road the house is on is very old worldy, exactly how we imagined St Agnes to be. We enjoyed all the beaches there but our favourite was Chapel Porth, very laid back and just a lovely place to be. Surf boarding with my lads i could of been anywhere. Bliss. I didn't want to come home, if i could afford it i would buy this place and stay for good! We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend to any one who is looking for a relaxing break in Cornwall. Thanks a lot ....Mark Wenham"

"This is a really lovely house, fitted and furnished to a very high standard. We are seasoned Cornwall visitors, and were looking for somewhere near the beach and village in St Agnes (or 'Aggie' as locals affectionately call it!) Turfrick fitted the bill really well. Walking distance to the lovely Trevaunance Cove beach, as well as the mixture of traditional pubs and contemporary foodie places in St Agnes itself. It's also a good base for exploring other parts of Cornwall. The house is set in gardens on all four sides, which our boys loved exploring, and is blessed with stunning views (including one of Cornwall's famous old tin mines). Inside is very tastefully decorated, but without feeling like you're in a show home. We were very at home, and very relaxed during our stay here. Great find, in a lovely part of North Cornwall."
