  Great cottage surrounded by beautiful gardens which were perfect for our 3 girls to play in, and they did!

  Although the cottage is secluded it is only a ten minute walk into the small village of Lerryn where there is a great pub and lots of long, enjoyable walks. Lerryn is a superb place to reach lots of different activities and beaches easily, getting around was incredibly easy. We loved the village. It is obvious the cottage is loved and well looked after; the beds were super comfortable and many of the items in the cottage felt like new and of good quality. Unfortunately, the downstairs toilet broke in the first week (nothing to do with us, it just stopped taking water in to enable a flush) and, despite the housekeeper's quick response to the problem, it wasn't fixed during our stay and it began to smell. This meant we couldn't use the downstairs shower as this was in the downstairs toilet area. The second shower was used up to that point - being a family of 5 it came in really handy. On the cleanliness aspect, everything was clean except for one thing that had been missed - the utensils at the side of the cooker were covered in fat/oil splatters. This was rather off putting; as I picked one of the utensils up, not knowing this was the case, I found my hand was covered in oil. Before I used any of them, I had to hand wash them.

  A wonderful cottage.

  The garden extends all around the house, plenty of space to find shade if you want it, and large enough for badminton and mini cricket with the family. Everything is of good quality - the kitchen is well equipped - plenty of plates, glassware, etc; sofas comfortable, beds and pillows very comfy with spare blankets; wifi works well, large smart TV for films on a rainy night; logs provided for the wood burner. Garden and BBQ space are sheltered from the wind, so as soon as the sun comes out its very warm in the garden. Space to park the car out of the way in the shade. Its about 10-15 mins walk to Lerryn with its wonderful shop and pub. Only thing to watch out for is the driveway - always approach from the west near (Wooda Cross / St Veep side) as the road is very narrow and likely to scratch wider cars if coming from the east. Also if you have low ground clearance you will find your car scrapes on the road when exiting the driveway (we have audi a5 and it only just made it). Overall a fantastic place to stay, especially if you want to chill out and relax without going out too much.

  The property is unique and beautiful, in a very quiet location in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

  The beds are comfy, there's plenty of space in the living room and dining room .There are plenty of walks from the door, a short walk to the Roman Villa in Bignor. Everything you could want is in the property. There is Wifi, but due to the thickness of the walls it works best in the living room. Telephone reception on Vodafone isn't brilliant but there is a signal in the garden. The gardens are relaxing and there is lots of space to enjoy warm summer evenings.The roads to the property are single track with passing places but are not busy. This is common in this part of the world. The property is close to all the major road links to all the exciting places you can visit in the area. We didn't drive more than 40 minutes to visit any of the attractions. Portsmouth and Brighton are both about an hour away. Overall a wonderful place to kick back, relax and de-stress whilst contemplating the centuries of people who have sat where you are sitting.

  Such a beautiful property and we had a wonderful stay.

  The Dairy is immaculately clean and well presented with a well appointed kitchen and all you need us provided. we received fantastic support during our stay with quick responses to our queries. This property provides a fantastic layout for anyone who has mobility limitations, the wet room, one level living, level outside decking and access ramp into the property are ideal. It is situated in a rural setting and has beautiful views. It is easily accessible to a variety of walks and a great local pub which serves tasty food in a cosy setting. I would recommend some small maintenance upgrades regarding the outside decking and new toilet seats. Overall we had a great family stay, comfy and enjoyable over the Christmas and new year period. I would recommend this property.

  We had a wonderful time at Kingbarth, the location is amazingly peaceful and a beautiful setting in the heart of the countryside.

  The house was immaculate and furnished to a very high standard (everything including the kitchen was from John Lewis!) The beds and sofas were very comfortable and entertainment systems being the latest tech. The kitchen had everything we needed. Having a holiday home ourselves, we tend to notice every feature and things that we could be done better (or we could have) and we can honestly say that nothing could have been improved/upgraded. The village has a nice pub and a great shop that serves breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea on the lawn by the river. We spent most of our time in Fowey together with a bike ride along the Camel Estuary and a trip to Padstow. We were very sad to leave and disappointed that we couldn't book for a few more days to extend our stay!.
