We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Verdun:
'Verdun is an excellent property with fantastic views. It's worth every penny of the asking price' - October 2020
'Thank you so much for creating such a fabulous place to kick back and relax. The view is the most amazing we have had in any accommodation anywhere we have ever stayed. The quality of everything in the property is first class and luxurious. The hot tub and top garden area including the sun room is spectacular, so peaceful and relaxing. We have been very lucky with the mixed bag of weather but managed to stay dry all week, This has been our 50th wedding anniversary celebration and could not have been a better choice. We have had a difficult few months losing members of our family and struggling with different things, this has been just the tonic we needed. Thank you again for all the extras you generously provided and for helping us when we couldn't sort out the heating. We will miss everything about this magical place' - October 2020
'Both the hamper and doggy treats were unexpected and a very nice surprise. The fresh flowers takes it into another league as well as the rep calling to make sure we had settled in ok. Well done. Layout and decor had been cleverly thought through' - September 2020
'Fantastic host and stunning Home. A perfect retreat from our busy London lives. Although the weather wasn't the best we still managed to relax in the hot tub and enjoy the sun deck. The cabin at the top of the garden was an amazing space to just chill' - September 2020
'Verdun is a simply perfect retreat. Absolutely everything has been considered to ensure guests have the most wonderful stay. Tina, the host, has maximised the utterly jaw dropping views while also attending to detail (such as cosy throws in the summer house or the very well equipped kitchen). We didn’t want to leave but have the most fantastic memories to cherish' - September 2020
'A true "escape" from reality. Thank you for providing such a wonderful location for our family-moon. Every tiny detail is pure luxury and you have given us the perfect base to create some amazing and lasting memories. From early morning views to sunsets from the hot tub, every moment here is just beautiful - helped by how lucky we have been with the weather! Our little boy is on the verge of being too mobile for here, so this experience may truly be once in a lifetime for us. The place is pure perfection and we can't thank you enough. p.s - top tip for other guests, The Canteen at Maker Heights is delicious! That is if you manage to drag yourselves away from simply relaxing at Verdun' - September 2020
'Amazing place with the best views ever; loved everything about it. Tina left us a welcome hamper which is a lovely touch. She was very responsive and helpful to us. All in all it was just perfect. Thank you!' - August 2020
'We had a wonderful ‘honeymoon’ at Verdun after our original wedding got postponed until next year due to COVID-19. The owners had thought of every small detail and it was a perfect getaway. When the weather was good, we enjoyed using the summer house at the top of the garden and dipping into the hot tub to watch the sunset. We loved eating dinner out on the deck overlooking the sea. Even on the days where the weather wasn’t great, we were still comfortable in the house. It was great to watch Storm Ellen come and go while we were warm and cosy inside. We can’t wait to book again and make more memories there!' - August 2020
'We have had an amazing week here. Despite postponing our wedding, we decided to have our honeymoon anyway and we are so glad we did! From the moment we stepped through the front door, we knew we couldn't have picked a better place to relax and unwind for the week. The attention to detail in the property was fabulous and you have literally thought of everything. The beautiful hamper, with lots of Cornish goodies, was an extra bonus' - August 2020
'Wow what a fabulous & helpful host, delicious welcome hamper and fab cottage, we've had it all! Verdun has amaxing views (sea mist hid them on saturday, but only 1 day!) and everything you need to relax and unwind, so peaceful and quiet! We walked to Cawsand -Kingsand (12 miles) along the beach Tregantle to Portwinkle! We went to Looe which was fab, the walk in the woods was amazing and very quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and summerhouse and just just looking out f the window of an evening! A perfect birthday! After the most stressful 3 1/2 months working frontline through Covid and not ever thik we would get here, it was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much. Stay safe!'- July 2020
'What can we say....A truly wonderful seaside retreat, with everything we could possibly need already waiting for us. You have fab taste! The view is just a joy to behold and we both adored our stay. Heading home recharged, relaxed and hope to return soon' -March 2020
''Thank you for making this retreat extra special. the wonderful extra touches, we loved everything about it. My partner has relieved many childhood memories and waking up to such a wonderful view has been amazing.' - March 2020
'Verdun is the Mary Poppins of Boutique Retreats . . . Practically perfect in every way, we stayed the first week of March 2020, and although the weather was poor Verdun was perfect, the position on top of the cliff has views which are hard to beat. It is a great place to just come and while away the hours looking at the sea and the stars and Tina is the perfect host - we will be back.' - March 2020
'Lovely accommodation that was very well equipped, where we experienced a relaxing break even with Storm Dennis blowing off the sea. The nearby beaches were just what we needed and were lovely to take the dog to. The hot tub was a great place to look at the stars. The owner was also very helpful throughout our stay.' - February 2020
'Sitting at the table with my partner cooking dinner on our last night here. Dogs asleep in their beds after many beach walks! Such a beautiful place to rest and reconnect. We've enjoyed every minute here, lazing on the sofa, using the hot tub in the morning and cooking in the kitchen...so peaceful!! Thank you for creating such a stunning place for us to visit and enjoy as a family. The most comfy bed, cosy living space, lovely coffee machine, fantastic equipped kitchen, light and airy decor just perfect.' - January 2020
'I brought my husband here as a birthday suprise and he loved it!! The weather was pretty awful the entire week but we weren't bothered - plenty of time to just do nothing and relax. Thank you for a great week!' - January 2020

'Our Holiday felt like a dream come true, the accomodation looked amazing in the pictures but was better in real life, it rained for the majority of the stay but this really did not matter as this is the perfect place to stop, relax and unwind, Could not reccomend this enough already looking to rebook for next year.' - November 2019
'Thank you so much for providing such amazing accommodation. The view is stunning, the property is fantastic, welcoming & cosy, but also like stepping in to a show home.
