Testimonials

Would highly recommend!

Lovely self catering accommodation, homely and relaxing. Set 5mins walk from beach, quiet and with the added option of using grounds of accomadation. Lovely gardens, pool, hot tub, although not used during visit as we were so busy. Pam and Richard were lovely.

Ideal base for travelling south Cornwall. Apartment clean, comfy. Portreath has a bakery, local shop and a couple of pubs. Lovely setting, main supermarket in Redruth 15 mins drive. Ideal base for couples families, walkers, everyone

★★★★★

Welcoming and Friendly

We regularly stay at Basset Acres and Pam and Richard are just lovely. They could not be more welcoming and friendly. The apartments are comfortable and well equipped. It is situated only short stroll from everything you could need the bakers, TIdeline cafe and the Basset arms pub all of which off smashing food, and the beach to walk it all off.

The pool and garden make this the perfect family holiday spot in the summer and the games rooms curbs boredom in the autumn. Definitely worth a trip.

My family have just had a really great week here. The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, games room and garden games. The location was perfect, the beach is within easy walking distance, as are places to eat and drink. We'd love to stay again at some point.

A really lucky find! Having had Booking.com double book us twice, we were worried that we were going to have to go home as we were struggling to find accommodation. Thank you to Pamela for coming to the rescue. We had a fantastic time, very relaxing, the house very cool in the very hot weather, the pool is fantastic.Pamela and her family very welcoming. Thank you so much we are looking forward to coming back.

This was our second holiday staying here. Our grandchildren aged 8 and 5 had a fabulous time. They loved the swimming pool, garden and games room. The short walk to a great beach is ideal. Mary ,Karl, Georgie, Pam and Richard made us feel very welcome. It felt like coming home.

This was our second September in a row at Bassets Acre. Difficult to decide what we liked best: The super comfortable apartment, the welcoming hosts, the warm covered pool, the wonderful garden, the peace and quiet. Impossible to choose everything is brilliant. Thanks to the Christ family for a fantastic week.
