The Limit | Luxury Self-Catering Beach Hut | Holywell Bay, Cornwall

Guest testimonials

The owner went above and beyond to help us have the best experience. She gave us extra tips of where to visit and eat. It was helpful to speak to Unique Homestays initially when we made the booking. We were given reassurance of the distance to the beach and that it is dog friendly at this time of year. We loved the charm and authenticity of the property. The welcome hamper was excellent and full of local, good quality produce. The bathroom toiletries were beautiful and good quality too.

Absolutely love The Limit. Becca is such a great host. Really lovely stay, I wish it had been longer! I cannot wait to book again and return to The Limit.

This is my third visit to The Limit this year and it´s only April! Testament to how much I love it here, it´s my bolthole away from the madness. I can´t think of a nicer spot; beautiful beach, quiet hillside, hot tub with owls overhead. I hope you enjoy The Limit as much as I do.

We loved staying at The Limit, it is such a special property. Uniquely situated, and thoughtfully kitted out, there is everything you need and more. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful location and accommodation, a real slice of heaven, with super kind and helpful hosts. The location, views and style exceeded our expectations and it allows dogs!

We booked The Limit as it is a beautiful property in an amazing location. It had everything we were looking for, privacy, a hot tub, a log burner, beautiful walks on the doorstep... It did not disappoint! Perfect!

It was amazing! From the moment we set off in the morning to the day we sadly had to leave. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of personal touches for both us and our dogs. The Limit is exactly as the pictures show, immaculately clean with more than enough facilities for a long stay. Incredible views whilst sat in the hot tub after a long day exploring the sand dunes and coastal walks, plus a secret garden which was perfect for our dogs to explore. Overall a fantastic little gem in an amazing location with attentive owners. Easily the best property we have stayed in.

Just wonderful! The Limit is truly a Unique Stay. We have so enjoyed being here and taking advantage of the stunning location with its amazing views. We will always remember the long lazy evening BBQ and enjoying a chilled glass of wine. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

What a fabulous week we´ve had here at The Limit. A beautiful location, stunning accommodation, and we feel totally relaxed! The birdsong has become a very welcome background noise. The mixed weather has meant we´ve made the most of everything; the hot tub, the BBQ, the fire pit, and the woodburner! From dawn ´til dusk this has been incredible!

By far the most stunning place we have ever stayed. Your attention to detail and kind hearts have made our stay one we will never forget. It was made so much more magical as we got engaged in the dunes at Holywell Bay. This place really will hold the most special place in our hearts, always. Thank you for being so lovely and accommodating, we will be back!

We can´t speak highly enough of The Limit or the owners. It was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. We got engaged during our stay and The Limit was just the most perfect place to celebrate. We have memories there that will last a lifetime! Thank you for your attention to detail and creating the perfect haven, we will be back! From a Future Mr & Mrs!

The Limit is a little Cornish Eden. You have created a perfect holiday home for rest, recuperation and revival. We all had such a chilled time here and we slept beautifully. The weather was superb, the sea warm and time just stood still. Thank you.

We had a wonderful few days calling The Limit home. So many beautiful places to see and Rebecca and Stephen have thought of everything to make this stay as relaxing as it could be. We will be back!

We have had a fantastic week. Everything we could have wanted/needed was provided for, from basic essentials to all out luxury. Thank you for restoring such a fantastic building.

We have cherished every moment of our holiday at The Limit. Besides being in such a special location, so much thought and care has gone into making this a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Being able to share this perfect experience with our dog made it unforgettable. thank you! We cannot wait to return.

We have had an amazing stay for our honeymoon. It has been the most relaxing stay with all our needs catered for here at The Limit, from surfing on the beach, exploring St Ives and Padstow. We have had a great introduction to Cornwall. Thanks for everything.

The Smiley-Buffingtons hailed from Utah, USA for the most wonderful honeymoon at The Limit. Our first trip to England together. Holywell Bay is magic with a bottle of bubbly in the evenings. Watched rabbits nibble in the yard while we cooked supper and even got lost trying to find Smugglers Den Inn on foot. Simply a perfect trip to Cornwall. We would love to come again.

Our third visit to The Limit and it continues to deliver. A lovely place for some rest and relaxation in a fabulous location. Sadly the weather prevented us from making full use of the terrace for ´al fresco´ suppers but we managed a few breakfasts outdoors. The Limit is a real gem and well worth re-visiting.

A truly memorable stay, inspiring accommodastion with wonderful touches, fabulous views and walks across the dunes. Total serenity, a home from home and the most perfect place to get engaged. We have created memories forever. Thank you, we will be back.

An exceptional holiday, in an exceptional place, simply perfect! Still cannot believe a place can instantly feel like home and makes you fully relaxed. Everything has been just amazing. Our first trip to Cornwall and thanks to The Limit, the first of many more!

We have stayed in a range of Unique Homestays properties and The Limit is most certainly one of our two favourites. The property itself is stunning as are the views and outdoor space. There are also a host of special and generous touches (fresh flowers, cream tea laid out on arrival, the surfboards that can be borrowed, generous firewood provided for the wood burner and outdoor fire pit and more besides...) that show the owners go above and beyond- please extend our thanks to them.

As seen on ITV's Cornwall with Caroline Quentin and George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, The Limit is an iconic luxury beach hut with a hot tub that hides among the sand dunes of Holywell Bay. Flanked by golden dunes, and close to the tropical biome in which an iconic James Bond scene was filmed, the coastal home is made up of twin beach huts from the 1930s; come here for endless ocean views, a marshmallow bed, and a sandy path to the sea.
