Booking & Availability
How do I book a property?
Bookings can be made online using the booking link on our website. Alternatively, you can email or phone us and we can make your booking for you. You can also book via Airbnb although this does add an Airbnb commission fee to your booking price so direct is best!
Is there a minimum or maximum stay requirement?
The minimum booking stay requirement is 3 nights, and the maximum is 21 nights.
What payment methods do you accept?
Through the booking link you can pay by credit/debit card (visa/mastercard). If you want to pay via bank transfer, please contact us to arrange.
Do you require a deposit or prepayment?
If your booking is less than 56 days before your arrival date, then the balance is required in full. If it is more than 56 days, then we require a 33% deposit.
At the point of booking, we also request a credit card to be held against your booking as a cautionary security deposit of up to £500. No charge is made against this unless damages occur to the property during your stay. Please see full T&Cs for more information.

What time is check-in/check-out?
Check-in is from 4pm on the day of arrival and check-out is 10am.
Can I request an early check-in or late check-out?
If we can accommodate this then we will but we often have guests arriving and departing on the same day. As soon as the property is available, we will let you know.

One week before your arrival we will send you our digital guest guide. This includes everything you need to know for your stay including how to find and access the property, the Wi-Fi, what’s provided and our local recommendations for things to do and places to eat. It also explains who to contact if you have any problems and the check out procedure.

Yeti coolers,Firewood, Cream teas and Breakfast bundles - Order here
Yeti Coolers: We’re big fans of Yeti products (Tim especially!) and we have a Roadie 48 cooler and Yeti ice pack available to hire as one less item you need to fit in your vehicle. We believe they’re the best for keeping your food and drink chilled all day and they’re brilliantly sturdy. The “roadie” is also on wheels so easy to pull to the beach.
Breakfast bundles. The property has a selection of tea/coffee and enough milk for you to have a cuppa on arrival plus a sweet treat on us. We have worked with a brilliant local farm shop to put together a breakfast of champions! The full monty. Fuel for busy days at the beach and beyond.
Pilgrim Cottage has a log burner in the living room, so in the winter months we leave you enough kindling, logs, firelighters and matches for a night. If you love a fire, we can supply you with more wood and kindling for your stay
Cream Tea, Is it even a holiday in Cornwall if you don’t have a cream tea? Jam first is traditional down here, but you do you! We recommend this serves two as we like a generous serving but could stretch to four.
Can I arrange something special for an occasion (e.g., birthday, honeymoon)?
Absolutely! If you’ve looked at our water adventures page, you’ll see that bespoke is what we love to do. We are happy to work with you to arrange for additional items in the property on arrival i.e. cake/flowers/bubbly, dinner reservations or perhaps a day on the water with One Atlantek charters.
