Absolutely brilliant time. We stayed in the Harlyn cottage with our dog. It’s beautiful. Everything inside is top quality and the location is perfect. A 15 minute walk to Mawgan Porth beach. The beach and little harbour area is lovely, however be prepared for an uphill walk on the way back. Not easy after a meal and a few drinks!! It’s worth the walk though to get back to the brilliant accommodation. If you like a quality cottage, in a perfect location for walks or visiting other parts of Cornwall, Merlin Farm is a must.

Beautifully appointed and spacious cottage with all mod cons, including velux windows which close automatically when it rains. This cottage has the best equipped kitchen of all the places we’ve stayed in during the last 4 years. The decor is stunning and the furniture in the lounge so comfortable I want to buy the same for home! The view over the fields is fantastic and it’s an easy walk through the woods to the beach, bars and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back

Trevone is a beautifully appointed, spotless, ENORMOUS, cottage. Only two of us staying but more than enough room for 4. The large sunny garden was also a bonus. Excellent location for coast path enthusiasts as easy to catch a bus to starting/ end points from the road by the by the beach ( 10 min walk from cottage). Local bus service is fantastic. Treat yourself to a trip on the open top Atlantic Coasteer 😀 The stroll into St Mawgan to visit the Japanese Garden and the Falcon Inn (suitable for coeliacs) was lovely on a rest day. A fantastic cottage to stay in. Enjoy.

We stayed in Harlyn Cottage for a sunny week in September. The cottage is very well equipped, with comfy beds, fluffy towels and crisp bedding. It feels very peaceful, yet the bustle of Mawgan Porth is only 20 minutes walk away. There was lovely attention to detail and great communication and an easy booking process. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Lucy and Darrel.

We really enjoyed our third stay at Merlin Farm – it’s a beautiful place and the standard of accommodation is excellent. We love how the cottages are spacious and thoughtfully designed – they’re a lovely place to spend time as a family. Mawgan Porth beach is a five-minute drive and is perfect for young children, plus the local restaurants and shops are great. I fully expect we’ll visit again soon!

Harlyn cottage was really comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for a lovely weeks holiday in Cornwall. Attention to detail was high with a boot rack by the front door, coat rack, laundry facilities and all equipment you need in the kitchen. It was lovely to be able to sit outside and the cottage is very private. We booked because there was electric car charging available. This was great as we could charge during the day from 10 until 5 as the charger is run from solar power. There is a path from the cottages straight down to Mawgan Porth which is about a 10 min walk. This proved really good as we walked the coast path both ways from Mawgan Porth. There is a good bus service so you can walk to Newquay and get the bus back. There are numerous really good restaurants in the area and we can highly recommend Merlin Farm cottages. …

We have visited Merlin Farm Cottages for 7 of the last 8 years. The cottages are a good size, light and airy with stylish furniture. They are well equipped, clean, well maintained and comfortable and also have Eco credentials with electricity and hot water/heating from solar energy. The location is very peaceful, away from the road into Mawgan Porth but just a 10-15 minute walk via a wooded path and quiet road down to the beach. Mawgan Porth itself has good facilities. There are many locations worth visiting within an easy distance ranging from Carnewas, several sandy beaches to more ‘touristy’ destinations like Padstow. The website and booking information have details, speaking of which the booking process is easy to use, clear and straightforward. The owners, Lucy and Darryl are and have always been welcoming and extremely helpful. A & C J …

Such comfortable beds, stylishly furnished and a quiet and peaceful location - we loved our stay at Merlin Farm. Although we were unlucky with the Cornish weather we managed some local walks to Carnewas and plenty of beach trips, just wrapped up warm. The temperature of the accommodation was just right, thoughtfully equipped and large bathroom made me a very happy stay for our family of three. Thank you. We would love to come back.

We won a 3 night stay from a competition and it was amazing. It was so peaceful, so easy to get around and Lucy & Darrell made it so easy to find and communicated superbly throughout. The log fire was lovely and the beds and bedding were super comfortable. It’s a lot bigger than we expected too. Can’t thank them both enough!
