  It was a lovely break thank you, an enjoyable two weeks.

  Very comfortable. Have read earlier reviews regarding the bed, pillows and cinema chairs but we disagree…..everything was good thank you, maybe they have been replaced. Very comfortable indeed, as was the sofa. The only thing I didn’t find comfortable was sitting at the table as the chairs were modern and high . We would have preferred a standard dining chair. Had it been summer we would have eaten at the outside table …. It was lovely having Wrendale crockery. All very new and spotlessly clean. All appliances worked well with the exception of the tv above the jacuzzi bath. This was reported on our first day and we were told that a part would need to be ordered to make it work, that it would be ordered on the Monday and it would take a few days. We chased it up three times but no part arrived and it didn’t work for the duration of our break. No one got back to us so we gave up. This was annoying , especially as if it didn’t work for us it can’t have worked for the previous occupants. On reading reviews it is apparent the tv in the jacuzzi area hasn’t worked properly for some months so I’m at a loss to know why we were basically fobbed off in this regard. Obviously we have stayed on the site previously ie pre Covid when things were newer. I expect there is some sort of ongoing maintenance on this property, and I think the next thing which could improve this property would be to replace the kettle as this looked shabby, especially next to the beautiful crockery which looked almost new. I appreciate it gets a lot of use but I don’t expect a kettle to look quite like ours did. Someone had in the past attempted to open the door near the bath without first opening the blind and this is damaged which looks a bit unsightly but people should be more careful and given the expense of repair I understand why this was left as it was. Please understand this is constructive criticism, not a complaint. It’s just that we had stayed in the lodge nearby previously and that was immaculate. Having said that , it was pre Covid and a lot of visitors will have been in both since , so maybe the newness has worn off there too. With staying two weeks we had to ring to find out what arrangements would be made to freshen laundry and the towels. Clean laundry was supplied at the end of week one and we changed our bed and put the used laundry outside for collection. It would have been better had we not had to arrange for this ourselves. Indeed I phoned before we set off for our holiday about this and no one got back to us. It shouldn’t really have been us requesting/ chasing. It should be something we are told will happen on whatever date. We stayed in the lodge quite a lot as we just wanted a rest rather than a holiday and it was good to be familiar with our surroundings and know where local shops etc were. The fridge , freezer, cooker were all adequate, it was nice having a wine chiller which gave us more room in the fridge . We had plenty of cooking utensils and equipment including a microwave , dishwasher and washing machine so it was very home from home. The owners were very generous in leaving films to watch in the cinema as well as a few books. Wrendale playing cards too ! We buy Wrendale for family and friends as we live not far from the person who designs it. What a small world ! The sauna was well used by us and despite earlier reviews, we found it spotlessly clean. A very relaxing break thank you but I hope that our comments and feedback are used to remedy the issues raised for the benefit of future clients.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Faraway Fields.

  The trip was a break for our 20th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have found a better property for a relaxing break away from the normal stresses of life. The spa room was absolutely lovely and the only thing that wasn't quite right was the TV in the bath which had poor reception for some reason. The kitchen was extremely well equipped so we felt no need to venture out for food as it was actually easier to make food at the lodge. We would have appreciated some better instructions on how the heating worked but as tech-minded people, we figured it out as the weather did turn a little chilly one night. The bedroom was designed beautifully but I felt the pillows were a bit old and could definitely do with replacing as two of them smelt a little stale. The bed was reasonably comfortable but obviously, a mattress is a personal choice. I do think the listing for this property should mention that it has a rather good hairdryer as I bought my own along and really didn't need too The cinema room was amazing. As we stayed over the Platinum Jubilee it was great to watch the coverage on this as well as stream movies. My husband and I had a thoroughly relaxing time and would love to return to this or another property in this lovely, quiet, and super luxurious holiday lodge development. The only thing we couldn't get was fantastic weather to enjoy the beautiful secluded garden around the lodge!

  This accommodation was warm, comfortable and cosy and while fairly compact (it is a studio apartment as advertised) had everything to hand. It seems crazy to need to mention but we were able to relax instantly at this property because it was a rarity in that everything worked properly. The wifi was good, the TV was tuned in with working DVD player, the cooker was fully functional, the shower pressure was just excellent and very hot and the refrigerator was high quality and very quiet. Pots, pans and dishes were all high quality and clean. The owner did have to come over to fix a leak on Sunday evening, but was happy to do so and very friendly. The area itself is straight out onto beautiful walks with plenty of winter activities also within a 25-35 minute drive and is well situated amongst amenities with several pub/restaurants nearby, but check for opening times as these were not open on our winter break. An excellent base for our holiday. Many thanks to the owners!

  I spent a lovely week at Malsters Studio, and it was perfect for my sort of holiday. I was looking for a base from which to explore a stretch of the coastal path, and it was a great place to come back to at the end of long days out. Very cosy and warm with underfloor heating and lovely hot shower, good wifi for planning the next day's walk, and practical design and layout. Parking space on the drive right next to the studio was really convenient. The owners were just next door, and really friendly and helpful, although you definitely still have your privacy. The location was great - it was about an hour's walk into Padstow along the Little Petherick Creek, which forms part of the Saints Way, and you could also easily access the Camel Trail. If you enjoy walking then this is the perfect spot as it offers access not only to the South West coastal path at Padstow, but also the opportunity to explore some of the inland long distance trails as well.

  I loved staying at this cottage studio tucked away in a small, cornish village - a gem of a location for single travellers with a small furry friend. The location is so peaceful, discretely tucked to the side of the owners house yet independent in every way.. own front door gate, and even small courtyard for coffee. The perfect hosts nothing was too much for the studowners if asked otherwise you wouldn't know or notice they lived next door. Enjoyed lie ins, dog walks, and the warmth of this cottage provided by underfloor heating wow. Even a winter break is a pleasure here. Thank you for a time of bracing walks and beach delights that was made all the better by a place that I could really feel at home in the prettiest location. Thoroughly enjoyed!!
