Ideal 3 bedroom property, well located and very well equipped.
Being disabled my wife found the slope up to the house a little difficult.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend the property to friends and family.
Delightfully unspoilt, prefect, picturesque, Cornish beach with fab walks round the headlands and along the SW Coastal paths.
The house was kitted out with everything you would need. The main room was full of light with masses of room and a kitchen area with all mod cons.
A 10 minute walk to the beach where visitors of all ages along with families happily engaged in games, surfing, walking, bathing. Everyone smiled and wanted to pass on their greetings as we passed. Such a good place.
This was just the perfect family holiday. Met Robin at the property when we first arrived and he very kindly showed us around and gave us some instructions which was really useful. Robin and Joan also left a gift for us which was much appreciated! Crisalgo is just lovely, clean and comfortable and has everything you need and more. Just a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed some stunning sunsets. Overall a great experience and very highly recommended.
Crisalgo proved to be an inspired choice of holiday property. It ticked all our boxes. Impeccably clean and tidy and we were greeted on arrival by Robin who gave us our property introduction. Everything was on hand and if we needed anything Robin and Joan were at the end of the phone. Our holiday was helped by wonderful weather so we were able to enjoy the delights of Trevone and the other bays together with the cliff walks..
I would highly recommend Crisalgo

Well located and excellently presented
The house is perfectly placed with a pub , cafe and beach in near walking distance. It is also a very reasonable direct walk to Padstow or a very good 5 mile walk around the coastal path. The house has everything you need and is clean and very well looked after. Plenty of space in the house, free wifi, good Tv, games ,garden etc ...I would recommend it highly. Many thanks to Joan and Robin.

Crisalgo - exceptional holiday home!
Crisalgo is a superbly comfortable holiday home. I have stayed there three times now and cannot recommend it highly enough. The tasteful blend of old and new furnishings gives the bungalow an air of quality. The kitchen area is spacious and well-equipped and the owner kindly provided several food items, including a delicious home-made lemon cake! The bathroom and bedrooms are aso of an excellent standard.
Although the location is quiet, it provides easy access to the North Cornwall area - and within a few minutes you can be walking along the cliffs or enjoying Trevone Bay.
I'm very much looking forward to staying at Crisalgo again sometime in the future.
Nice cottage located in the beautiful village of Trevone. There is a spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Then 3 reasonable size bedrooms which perfectly fit our family with 3 kids (double, twin and single) and family bathroom. Spacious parking area and garden. Bungalow is 5mins walk from the main beach, allbeit down a steep road. There is the wellparc hotel/pub nearby, though we didnt visit. Its also a very short drive to the popular Cornish Arms pub and villages of St Merryn and Town of Padstow. There are many excellent beaches nearby including our personal favourite, Treyarnon (with Trevone beach a close second!)
Crisalgo is a lovely bungalow in the middle of Trevone village, about half way down the hill and next to the Well Parc pub/hotel. It consists of 3 decent size double bedrooms (1double, 2 singles and 1 single with optional extra pull out bed - which could be a squeeze if required). It has a large open plan lining area consisting of kitchen, dining and lounge areas, there is also an decent size entry hall with extra toilet. Perfect for our family of 5 (2adults 3kids). Facilities are generally excellent and the little welcome bag of a bottle of wine and some local goods was a nice friendly touch. Only minor suggestion the bathroom shower is a little dated and would benefit from a power shower if the the owners which to upgrade. Clearly a minor point. The walk to the beach is about 8mins down a steepish hill which is a long way with heavy bags and beach stuff like surfboards, chairs etc, we generally drove down or went to other local beaches. The walk makes a nice (evening) stroll for those unencumbered. Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Harlyn and Trevone are all excellent picturesque Sandy coves with lifeguards and good surf all within 5-10 minutes drive. Parking at all beaches is about £4-£5 all day. The local town of Padstow is picturesque and bustling centre with a local supermarket and lots of the usual shops round a pretty harbour. All in all were very happy with the accomodation and it’s location.
Ideally located for a visit to Cornwall. Local pub and beach cafe all within walking distance and very welcoming. Convenient for Padstow and walking the North Cornwall coastal path.
Property excellent - nice open-plan living area with all the home comforts you could possibly wish for.
The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. It is in an excellent location being only ten minutes walk from Trevone Bay and under five minutes walk from Well Park Hotel which serves good Pub Grub. The owners of Crisolgo could not be more helpful and the Welcome Pack was much appreciated. All our needs were met and would highly recommend this holiday home.
We have had a lovely stay in this comfortable bungalow in beautiful Trevone. The photo's do not do it justice. Joan was the perfect host and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise.
We would highly recommend this property for a comfortable stay. Thanks again, The Wright family.
We had a lovely week at Crisalgo. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 1 child. Location was perfect. Only a very short walk to a lovely beach. We were greeted by Robin and Joan had left us some welcome treats that were very much appreciated. We will be back! Thanks for a fab stay.
What a fab place to stay, the communal area was simply perfect for my family to have fun evenings playing cards and catching up away from screens. The house is only a short walk to Trevone beach which is a perfect family beach. Joan and Robin couldn’t have been more helpful and this ensured our holiday was perfect.
We all had fantastic stay at Crisalgo. The property was very homely, very clean and very well equipped. We all enjoyed spending time in the open plan living space. Many Thanks to Joan and Robin for a delightful Holiday. We hope we can return again in the future.
Crisalgo is a wonderful location for exploring Trevone and this part of Cornwall. In addition, the property is superbly equipped and has everything you might need, and the host (Joan) couldn't have been more obliging and/or accommodating. I can wholeheartedly recommend a stay her. We will return!
The property was clean, set up as we expected and easy to access. A short walk to Travone beach, parking was easy and Joan was helpful from start to finish

About the host
Hosted by Joan Boon
Joan & Robin Boon live in Cornwall. Not too far from Crisalgo. Robin's family have been connected with Trevone, Padstow and Crugmeer for many generations and therefore the area is very special to him.
Why they chose this property
Crisalgo was passed to Robin in 2004. Robin and Joan then re-furbished the bungalow to use for themselves, family and friends and also for holiday letting.
What makes this property unique
Crisalgo is ideally situated with sea views, plenty of parking and an interior that is suited to family holidays. We feel very fortunate to be able to spend time here ourselves.
