The retreat at Mount was a lovely place to stay. It was very clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. The outside space was great as well. Plenty of parking space and a big lawn for the kids to run round. We would highly recommend it.

Mr Parr April 2019

An amazing house to stay in so much room even though we had 7 adults 3 children and 2 dogs. Absolute luxury and a real treat to stay there. The kitchen is so well equipped it was a pleasure to stay at The Retreat. Beautiful gardens both at the front and back of the house, the back is a proper sun trap, lovely to sit in with a glass of something cold !!

St Pirans Day Celebrations

Gool Perran Lowen - Happy St Piran's Day in Cornish!

St Piran's Day, celebrated on March 5th, is the national day of Cornwall, named after one of Cornwall's patron saints. According to legend, St Piran, a 5th century Irish Abbot, was thrown into the sea in Ireland tied to a mill stone; somehow he washed up on the Cornish coast still alive. He made Cornwall his new home and became the patron saint of tin-miners after rediscovering tin smelting.

Today, Cornwall still celebrates his heritage. On the closest Sunday to St Piran's day, Perranorth hosts one of the largest St Piran's celebrations. Held at the dunes on Perranporth, a play is performed to re-enact St Piran's life. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged to dress in black, white and gold, the colours of Cornwall.

Other celebrations will be held in various locations across Cornwall.

Mr Parr Apr 2019

The Retreat was a fantastic house for our family to stay in. It was extremely well equipped in the kitchen and space for food to be stored, as well as Tupperware boxes for picnics. The rest of the house was the same with plenty of books, games, activities for the children to do and nets to go crabbing with. The house is really well decorated and furnished, plenty of space for the 12 of us to feel at home. The welcome package was amazing and very much appreciated!

Mrs Whittington Apr 2019

Just returned from an amazing weeks holiday in wonderful accommodation booked through Aspects Holidays. This excellent company ensured that the accommodation was beautifully kept where high standards of cleanliness and comfort were second to none! I highly recommend Aspects as an agent who are customer focussed and nothing is too much bother. Well done Aspects. I look forward to booking with you again in the future.

Mrs Chevin Dec 2018

We shall be back.

Mrs Ramsden Aug 2016

A fabulous property in a peaceful location, beautifully and freshly decorated with en suites for all except one bathroom. very well stocked with equipment and greeted with a personal welcome note, a really lovely food and drink pack with a varied fruit basket, beautiful fresh flowers and a comprehensive supply of the basics (bread, milk, butter, scones, cream and butter).

Lots of space for different people to group and sit together, watch to or films or eat casually or more formally. A great location for walkers with both beaches and the coastal path both relatively close.
