Guestbook for Camel Quarry House

I first saw Camel Quarry in 'Coast' Magasine. It is even better than i thought it would be. beautifully designed with the best views i have ever seen. Peaceful yet on the edge of so much activity. it was the best family holiday we have ever had, the teenagers went surfing, the youngest went shrimping just outside the house in the estuary, and us adults, lazed on the roof terrace in the sunshine eating yummy food from Rick Steins deli, walked, and played golf and totally unwound! there are even two dishwashers! Jane aug 2010

Camel Quarry quite deserves conde naste travellers best european destinations 2011. We were not disappointed. everything was perfect. My husband adored his surprise 50th birthday grown up only weekend and we have rebooked it for a family holiday later in the year. the chef we booked for his birthday dinner was amazing, and thanks to the house keeper everything went like clock work. Kim jan 2011

i want to thank my mum and dad for taking us on the holiday, the hot tub was wicked! it was great getting into it after waterskiing. the fire pit was really great, lots of talking and singing around it. my brother really liked biking into Padstow to buy lobsters, but my best bit was cannooing to Rock and back. i even learned to surf. Bella 2010

We took the house for 3 weeks of heaven. We had the best September, lovely sunshine and we got such deep tans that we felt as if we had been in the bahamas! Every week we had different guests, and absolutely everyone loved it, so much so that we are taking it again. David 2009
