Southleigh House

Wonderful, well equipped house with everything required for a fun-filled family holiday in Cornwall. Key beaches are only a short drive away and the Eden Project and Charlestown very close.

Southleigh House is an amazing holiday home, it is so peaceful and within easy reach of attractions and beaches. It is accessed via what seemed to be a short well maintained private road which was easily big enough to get a VW Transporter van down, so no access problems. The house is very well equipped, the kitchen has everything you could want. The furniture was very comfortable and supportive, and the bed was so comfortable, no boingy springs to be found here, it is amazing. The garden is lovely and the dog enjoyed it. The Eden Project domes are visible from the wooden viewing platform at the bottom of the garden.

This is a beautiful cottage with everything inside it that you could ever possibly need. The gardens are absolutely enchanting, we loved seeing and listening to the huge array of birds that came to visit. And the intelligent squirrels that invented games with themselves! The location is perfect because it isn't far from many locations such as Par Sands, Charlestown, Porthpean beach, Mevagissey, Cardinham Woods. The owners are very helpful and we have been with Classic Cottages for many years, we would say this is the best cottage/house that we have been to.

This is a wonderful place for a family gathering. We loved the garden and all the different seating areas for the family to gather. If the weather’s not so good the wood burners and abundant firewood make for a cosy time indoors, and the table football provides many evenings of competitive fun! You don’t have to travel far to find a beautiful beach or cove, perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. All in all the perfect setting for a wonderful holiday :)

We had such a wonderful week at Southleigh house: the house was beautiful, spacious and super comfortable with the conservatory as our favorite indoor space (lovely comfy nook with fireplace but also large table for table top games and even ping pong) but the family kitchen, fussball/playroom and television/ living room were also much appreciated. The garden is huge and mesmerizingly beautiful with a lawn, Hidden vegetable garden, secret pathways, a fireplace and an observation tower. Views to the ocean from the garden invite you to the beaches and lovely harbour towns. And the owners and little sock- snatching Charlie the dog were ever so welcoming and helpful. A place to keep coming back to!

This generous house allowed for 2 families to stay together with their dogs and enjoy each others company. The garden, kitchen, conservatory, living room and games room all offer spaces to be relaxed, come together and be on ones own to read or watch the world go by.

Lovely home, with a number of living spaces each with its own appeal. Gardens and birdlife were also amazing and the weather could not have been better. Overall we had a excellent family get together that exceeded my expectations. Would recommend Southleigh House

Conservatory area was a great bonus - very spacious and beautifully decorated for Easter. Easter goodies and the welcome basket were also hugely appreciated, alongside beautiful fresh flowers. The house itself was super for what we needed, and for the dog too, it was very comfortable and included everything you would need for a home from home break away, with added luxurious touches. The weather was not particularly kind, so we made good use of the wood burners and Aga. Property is in a super location - you feel in the middle of the beautiful and peaceful countryside, but within easy access of all the notable tourist attractions. Heligan was particularly spectacular. Again, the hosts were great and very helpful - and an added bonus… it’s not too remote to have food delivered!

Our family of 6 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this exceptional cottage. The large garden was secure for the dogs and indoor/outdoor toys were provided for our 4-year old to enjoy. The log burners were much appreciated with a large wood store available for our use. The little touches of toiletries, Welcome pack and the Aga to cook with, all added to an excellent October holiday.

We just had the most wonderful week staying here. Our multi aged group were all comfortable and relaxed with plenty of space to spread out or be together. The garden was interesting and spacious. The location great and the views were beautiful. Sarah and Robin were the most charming hosts. We hope to return one day!

This house, contents and its gardens were amazing. Relaxing and quiet, our dog loved it. Just what we wanted and needed. A real jewel in the crown and near to local attractions and beaches. If you want to get away from it all, this is the right place.

A wonderful holiday home, the best we have found in Cornwall to date. Exceptionally peaceful without being too far off the beaten track, and within easy reach of a wide range of attractions and beaches. The house itself was well equipped and comfortable with many personal touches. A huge variety of birds and other wildlife in the garden. We hope to return!

Fantastic property in a truly rural location with easy access to main routes.

We had a wonderful time at Southleigh House. It was ‘home from home’! Comfy beds, all the equipment we needed and a lovely atmosphere. The hosts Sarah and Robin were very friendly - the wonderful atmosphere in the cottage was a reflection of their welcome.

Enjoyed our stay at Southleigh house made to feel very welcome by the owners. House was tidy and clean with a well equipped kitchen. Loved the extra details of welcoming scones, cream milk, eggs. a fresh loaf even a bottle of wine. Dogs also made welcome with treats etc.The dogs loved exploring the garden and discovering the woodlands next to the house. Very comfortable beds and pillows slept like a log as very quiet secluded property. The week flew by felt very chilled and relaxed week away. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Thank you Sarah and Robin for sharing your fabulous property with us.

Lovely place. Just what we wanted as it suited our three generation party. Plenty of wildlife for the little ones,activities nearby, a supermarket and a proper pub!

Lovely property and hosts. Great location to explore Cornwall. Property is very well equipped and comfortable. Would stay again. If you are 6' tall be prepared for the low doorways upstairs.

I appreciated that the hosts didn't make me wait until 4 pm to check in! I was coming from another Classic Cottage that asked me to leave at 10 am, and so would've been wandering aimlessly for longer, but when I drove by early to check out the property Robin came out to my car (I hadn't knocked or anything) and just offered to provide access at 2 pm, which was nice! Robin and Sara were also nice enough to just take the initiative to go out looking for my small dog when they caught view of him escaping along their hedges. They walked through the muddy fields to help me find him, which was above and beyond! They both seemed to want to be genuinely responsive and friendly.
