Morwenna Sands reviews
“If anyone deserves the title of Superhost, it's Mandy. She gave us a warm welcome, and we immediately felt at home because of that. The place is behind the dunes, so we could also take a beautiful walk to the beach every day. We really enjoyed it. We will definitely come back.”
“We had the most gorgeous week at Morwenna Sands. Mandy was the most incredible host, making every thing perfect for us from leaving gifts for our anniversary and teddies for our two boys. The place is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed, walking distance to the beach, incredible places to explore and fantastic recommendations to eat. We've fallen in love with Gwithian and hope to be back! Thanks so much Mandy and Family xx”
