What a lovely stay we had at Ayda's Rest. The property is well proportioned, bright and airy. It had everything needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We have been visiting Cornwall for many years especially in and around this area. Ayda's Rest is definitely one of the best accommodations we've stayed in. It's a stones throw from Hayle, Carbis Bay, Marizion, Penzance and St.Ives. We also headed a bit further out to Falmouth and Truro. Thankfully the weather was reasonable for the week apart from 1 day of heavy wind and rain (not the best whilst at Marizion) but we braved it. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely cottage, not too far away from amenities. Everything catered for, crockery etc. Lovely outdoor area which we used. Very clean and quite spacious. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic location for exploring the tip of Cornwall between St. Ives, Hayle and Carbis bay. Close to many beaches, a farm shop a short walk away, and an abundance of great places to eat and drink within 5/10 mins drive. Loved the wood burner and outdoor area, plus the home is very well equipped with everything you need for cooking.

Excellent place everything you need for a good holiday. The location was good with easy access to other parts of Cornwall. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Ayda's Rest is a fabulous property that far exceeded our expectations. Very spacious and very well equipped with everything one could possibly need. Lovely welcoming gift and the property was spotlessly clean on arrival. We would and will certainly book this property again

Absolutely loved this home everything was fresh and clean, contemporary furnishings good quality will definitely be back.
