We had the best week ever! The views from the house are simply amazing and we were lucky to have lots of beautiful sunsets. Our family have stayed in lots of houses all over Cornwall but this was by far the best. It couldn’t be closer to the beach which was perfect for all generations of the family. Thank You!

Very much the best view in Cornwall. Lots of space for everyone in the house. The layout makes the most of the view. Even when the weather was bad the central heating kept the house cosy and warm. Easy walk down to the beach only takes minutes. Ample parking for our 3 cars. Easy to get another couple of cars on the driveway.

Perfect location with truly amazing view

We were family of 9 with dogs. Perfect for us with toddlers as so near beach. Fabulous weather made a great holiday. We want to return to enjoy the fire and table tennis in colder months.

Beach house with a view

Had lovely week celebrating a birthday with the family. Was lucky with the weather,only one day of rain. Would have liked some chairs out on the decking to sunbathe and enjoy the sunshine otherwise a great week.

Just a lovely place to stay in a fabulous location. Property is as described but you just cannot put that sunset into words. We had a large party and it was perfect for what we needed. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to return.

Our borrowed home by the beach

From the first moment of walking into the living room the wow factor hit us and we immediately felt relaxed and at home… The view is incredible what ever the weather and we had mostly rain and very high tide. It was an ever changing view and we have so many pictures and wonderful memories of a really fantastic family holiday… all want to book again for next year.

Family break

Love the location … for the obvious and some personal reasons. The description of this property is spot on. You couldn’t wish for a more perfect location and the overall space is wonderful. Yes, the building is tired and the general standard of fixtures, fittings and furnishing isn’t what you would expect for the cost. But if, like us, it’s all about the view and the perfect location, it more than makes up for downsides. Thanks to Rupert for helping us have a truly memorable stay.

Big family holiday

We came back for a second year. With large family group including dogs and 1 year old baby. The house position and accommodation was excellent allowing nipping to and from the beach as needed. Hot dogs or hot babies ...no problem. Boardmasters meant not travelling South unless unavoidable due to traffic for a few days but for us this was not a problem as we were expecting it.

Chandella

Great location , good house but tired. Plenty of space and comfortable. Areas in need of attention would be master bed shower needs super clean, towel rail in downstairs bathroom not working, outdoor shower could use power wash, more clothes pegs please and maybe lots of plastic hangers for wetsuits. All that said we had a fabulous time and love the house!

Outstanding location

The view of the bay as we walked in was enough to tell me we had booked the right property. When the tide was in you felt you were on the bows of a ship! The stunning view was always changing, we never tired of it, and the direct access to the beach was perfect for our group of family and teenage friends so everyone could go during/swimming/walking when they wanted without having to use a car. The proximity of the local shops meant a supermarket trip was limited to once for the whole week so more time could be spent holidaying. We would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous property to any group wanting to escape to the seaside. The house is very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, with everything you could need. Ping pong table, wetsuits, body boards, outdoor warm shower, rentable hot tubs you name it! We will be back!!

What a wonderful couple of weeks spent in a lovely family home. The views are as the owner states, possibly the best in Cornwall. My youngest enjoyed her stay there so much she cried when we were leaving. Would highly recommend staying here to friends and family.

Villa Chandella

The house is in an amazing position overlooking Mawgan Porth beach. It has all the facilities a beach house should have including ping pong which was well used. The garage could have been cleaned up a bit as it was a mess and it would be lovely to have some outdoor chairs and a table. We hope to going back.

Wonderful location

Our family of 8 adults and a dog had an excellent stay here. Communications from the iwner were useful, humerous and honest. Dewcriptions all fair and accurate. The weather was unusually super sunny (second heatwave of 2022) but the location and view from this house means we would have been happy here in a storm! Would say more good things but hoping to go back ourselves so dont want to encourage too much competition 😂

Excellent location with a view to die for

We had the most wonderful week at Chandella with friends. It worked perfectly for all ages. The teenagers could walk down to Mawgan Porth, the younger ones could head down to the beach and there was body boarding and surfing for all. The dogs had a wonderful time too! Lovely lunches overlooking the beach watching the waves crash in. We will definitely be booking again.

Just lovely. And what a view!

This house is wonderful - big and airy living area with massive balcony - you won't want to be anywhere else with that view to enjoy. Lots of bedrooms and sensibly arranged for different groups and multiple families. Very generously equipped - the garage is full of stuff you might need from wetsuits to a table-tennis table. The only thing even close to being a let-down is the kitchen - it's dated and a bit scruffy (even the owner acknowledges this in the useful and chatty information left for visitors!), but it has everything you need and the best view while doing the washing up ever! Has the feel of a much-loved family holiday home that has been used and enjoyed for many years, and that rubs off on you when you stay.
