  • "A stunning house."

    The hosts were amazing and made sure our stay was just perfect. The house was so clean and well looked after and had everything you needed. Beautiful furnishings and plenty of space for 11 of us ! Would definitely recommend and go back for another stay.

  • "As usual the booking process with Sykes was simple and straightforward."

    Updates and correspondence was informative, helpful and timely. As our holiday drew nearer we received a warm introduction email from Sonya and Paul. Straightaway they made us feel really special, and that nothing was too much trouble. They provided very detailed answers to the questions I had about the property and where it was appropriate they provided photograph evidence. Information about local attractions was also really helpful. On arrival at Silvermine we were blown away by the presentation of the property. The photos are lovely but do not do justice. Wow! Silvermine truly is wonderful! Not only that, the welcome we received was outstanding. Meeting Sonya and Paul was like catching up with old friends they were so warm and friendly. Achieving comfort, wellbeing and the best possible experience for their guests is clearly their priority. The lights were on, beautiful Christmas tree and decorations, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam. The kitchen is very well resourced with quality tableware, cookware and utensils. There was tea, coffee and fresh milk available. The provision of toilet rolls, hand soap and shower gel; bin liners and cleaning products including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cleaning spray sufficient for the duration of our stay was very much appreciated. Silvermine is comfortable, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Have to mention the gorgeous views from the front of the house! Stunning!! The website description is accurate. We enjoyed our stay at Silvermine so much I booked to return next Christmas before we left! Congratulations to Sonya and Paul for their first class service and excellent facilitation. We are looking forward to returning. Thank you.

    They want you to have a wonderful time while you are staying at Silvermine. They are on hand if you need any help. But never intrusive. Paul and Sonya could teach other hosts how to run a holiday home to such high levels of customer satisfaction :) PROPERTY lots of space for our large group. Plenty of bathrooms , one of bathrooms had a bath.Thoughtfully decorated, comfortable beds, good quality towels and bed linen. Good quality pots and pans and sharp kitchen knives which is unusual in a holiday let. Cosy blankets for wrapping up on the sofa. Wood burner, fuel provided. Very clean. Outside area has a massive garden with the most majestic views whatever the weather. LOCATION for our 3 generation family it was perfect. We enjoy hiking, house on the SW coastal path a real plus, beach for little ones in walking distance and plenty of pubs and high end restaurants nearby. Handy location for nearby places to visit, Eden Project, Heligan, Lanhydrock and many more. AMENITIES hot tub was a perfect treat , good quality and plentiful fluffy towels provided. Our adult children and their partners enjoyed using the gym. We were able to store bikes in the gym, which is a real plus if you want to cycle. A huge smart TV for cosy nights in watching a film. OVERALL Silvermine really is a very special place, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. We hope that we will be able to return again with our growing family. We will have many happy memories. Thank you Sonya and Paul. Our only negative comment was the garden chairs and loungers, which were lovely, but couldn't be used because the cushions were soaking, we would have liked to sit outside for lunch in the beautiful garden with its magnificent views. Just a thought maybe the cushions could be stored in the games room..

    On entering the house it was spotlessly clean. A very lovely touch of homemade scones with jam and clotted cream awaited us and 2 lovely bottles of wine. Bedrooms were fantastic for all the family. Me and my husband stayed in the room with ensuite passed the utility away from the main bedrooms, very quiet and peaceful. Upstairs lounge with amazing views was stunning, with games and books for all ages. The games room which is separate from the house had a pool table, Sega console, kids and adults loved it and also the juke box were you could listen to your own cds, vinyls or music from your phone was fab. Met Paul who came to sort out a problem we had noticed with the Sega and again was very friendly. The hot tub which was used at night when all the children were asleep was lovely and warm. In all you can't fault this beautiful home, great location for getting out and about, asda 5 mins away, with everything you would need for an amazing holiday with family or friends. Definitely 5*+. Thank you Sonya and Paul. X

    We had the best week there with the family, there was something to suit all ages. Plenty of games and books, and the games room and gym were an added bonus. After a hard day sunbathing at the nearby beach or spending the day at the activity centre which is almost next door, or exploring the surrounding area full of history and interest, what better than to spend time in the hot tub looking out at the most fabulous view. The owners Sonya and Paul were the perfect host and the delicious cream tea and wine they left for us on our arrival was most welcome after a long journey.

The property

Charlestown 1.5 miles.

This magnificent, detached barn conversion is simply outstanding and is set within 8.5 acres of private grounds, located within the pretty village of Porthpean, a National Trust Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You will be met with far-reaching sea views upon arrival, with a large driveway offering ample parking.

This traditional stone barn offers a reverse-level setup, with six spacious and well-presented ground floor bedrooms and a first floor lounge, all of which boast sea and country views from every window.

No matter what time of year you arrive, you will not tire from relaxing and observing the daily and seasonal changes of the surrounding views and countryside.

The bedrooms consist of a choice of doubles, twin, bunk room and super king-size double, offering flexible sleeping, and complete with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

There is a spacious and well-equipped kitchen with a dining area, which has a large rustic reclaimed table with two benches and chairs boasting sea views for all guests to enjoy and cook up some delicious home-cooked meals.

The first floor provides a large lounge area, which is simply stunning with its high-vaulted beamed ceilings, including bespoke LED lighting and unrivalled sea views over the front of the property and the rolling fields flanking the rear.

There are two large leather sofas next to the woodburning stove, a great resting spot with your glass of wine and a book, or for a quiet chat with friends.

Delight in the wall-mounted TV, with sound bars placed around the room, giving you a taste of the cinema lifestyle right from your living room!

Outside boasts a patio area, with a hot tub, perfect for letting those bubbling jets relax those tired muscles.

Step down to the separate terrace, with seating for up to twelve, where you can soak up the peaceful tranquil surroundings, then venture towards the games room and gym with a rowing machine and weights machine, not to forget the pool table and juke box.

Guests can join Cornwall’s Coastal Path, just a few steps from Silvermine’s private lane to explore and be inspired by the wildlife and scenery in one of the UK’s most beautiful areas.

Porthpean is a stretch of coastline between Charlestown and Black Head, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while Porthpean Beach is ideal for families, windsurfers, swimmers and sailors.

There is a golf club and sailing club less than a mile away and along the coastal path there is an easy walk into Charlestown, which remains an unspoilt, original Grade II listed harbour.

You will find elegant Georgian houses and two fisherman’s cottages with plenty of tasty treats, whilst the harbour offers two small sand and shingle beaches, popular filming locations and is a key setting for the filming of BBC’s series Poldark.

You can explore this beautiful region easily as you are 1.5 miles from A390, a fantastic base for your Cornish adventure and creating your holiday memories.

Enjoy walking amongst the most beautiful scenery in the world on the Cornish footpaths, visiting the quaint and picturesque Cornish villages and meandering through the streets visiting art galleries, bars, restaurants.

Silvermine House is an outstanding holiday home that can be enjoyed all-year-round.
