What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage is comfortable, clean and well-equipped; there was always lots of very hot water and the shower ran consistently.

  The fridge is very small and we couldn’t fit everything in that we wanted to. The small lounge is cosy and soon warms up with the electric fire. The sofa and armchairs are comfortable and better than those we find in many rental properties. The bed is comfortable and we slept well. It was good to have a CD player as we didn’t want to watch TV all the time. The Wifi signal was very weak and inconsistent such that the connection was often dropped, though this was less of a problem in the bedroom. However, the data speed was reasonable. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated and the jam was delicious. The location is delightful and peaceful and the garden with its huge pond is beautiful and a lovely place to sit when the weather is nice, which it was most of the time. Access from the nearby A30 is quick and, although the last half mile is a single track lane with only one passing place, we only once encountered another car. Arriving on the A30 from the east necessitates a right turn across the busy dual carriageway and similarly if one wants to travel west after leaving the property; the road is often very busy and we had to wait several minutes for a gap in the traffic on some occasions. We had an excellent lunch at the Eliot Arms in Tregadillett and a good value steak dinner at the Archer Arms in Lewannick, to which we walked despite the long 1 in 7 hill (total walking time about 30 minutes). Tuesday is their steak night and, although it was quiet, we were told it’s advisable to book. There are plenty of nice places to visit by car and the Cheesewring, easily accessed from Minions on the east flank of Bodmin Moor, is a remarkable geological feature worth seeing. We had an excellent week with good, dry weather and loved the practical but peaceful location.

  Lovely barn conversion very spacious and light.

  Well equipped and dog friendly! Quite central for touring the local area and lovely pub within walking distance which serves very good food! The secure rear garden area is also brilliant for enjoying the sun and eating outside as well as great for our four legged friends! Brilliant having two double bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs for anyone with mobility issues as well as the downstairs walk in shower and w.c. The kitchen is well equipped and laid out with everything you need! We personally found our mattress a little soft as we both need firm to orthopaedic but nothing ever compares to your own bed unfortunately! Maybe a safety gate would be an asset on the stairs for children/ dogs although we improvised with two stools! The locals we met were friendly and helpful, the moors are a five minute drive away and large supermarket ten minutes drive away too. We did notice that some drivers come off the A30 into the village at speed worth bearing in mind if you have young children although the same happen in our local village too! Nice touch was milk biscuits and a bottle of plonk in the fridge! Our weather was nice which obviously helped but two tv’s if it rains ! The main bedroom upstairs is lovely with great views and a very large custom made wooden bed ! Could be problems deciding who has this room lol

  Went as a family group of 11 (2 families) with a mix of ages from 50’s to tweens and everything in between.

  The house is amazing with all the space and facilities you could need for a large group, it was immaculately cleaned on our arrival and the lovely gesture of fresh flowers and biscuits was such a nice and welcoming touch. We arranged a supermarket delivery for our arrival which came with no problems and had pizzas delivered too from domino’s (we were worried that we may be too secluded). Own mistake was not reading quite carefully enough as it does state towels provided and these were clean, fresh and fluffy hotel quality with enough for everyone who was staying if needed (could have saved some packing space). The house was always warm and cosy even without lighting the gorgeous log burner but we did once or twice just for the full farmhouse ambiance (its amazing and so relaxing) the kitchen was superbly equipped apart from some scissors which we brought (we left them in the drawer for the next guests). From a teen and tween perspective i was slightly worried about wifi, as screens are obviously life, but not only was the wifi serviceable it far outstripped our service back home (not once did i hear a complaint about it being slow or no signal) Overall i would without hesitation return, and am already looking for dates the whole family can do again.

  A fabulous clean, warm and comfortable holiday home for 8 people, which is right off the A30 about 10 mins drive from Launceston and the nearest supermarket.

  Because of the very close proximity to the A30 it is ideally located for visiting places around Devon and Cornwall, St Ives being just 1 hour away. Around the house there is wall art with place names beneath, which gave us plenty of ideals of places to visit, which we thought was a lovely touch. The house has a lovely big secure back garden (although there is a low gate around the side, so if you have a dog that likes to discover ways to escape, just be careful, saying that they do have to go around the house to get there). The back garden could do with an outside light though for the dark evenings. As mentioned before, a baby gate on the wooden stairs would be a good idea, to keep dogs from exploring upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped, although another big frying pan would be handy for a large group of people and some more forks. More storage would be handy in the bedrooms too. We had the only wardrobe in the house (ground floor), the two upstairs bedrooms had drawers but the other ground floor bedroom didn't have any storage for clothes and our son lived out of his suitcase for the week. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back to stay again.

  Had a fantastic stay as a family of 2 adults and a 6 year old, in one of the 3 holiday cottages at this location.

  The owners were very welcoming, recommended places to eat and visit. The location was secluded but on the doorstep of good, fast road links. The setting of the shared garden was tranquil with big fish pond and fruit trees, and we felt safe leaving our child to play with other children who happened to stay in the adjacent cottage. Lots of toys for the kids, sandpit and gorgeous Wendy house. The parking right outside was a godsend. The cottage was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. The shower was powerful and hot water was never a problem. The kitchen was extremely clean (like new) and well equipped with items you don't usually get for a holiday rental e.g pizza cutter, knife selection, foil, pegs. The fridge and freezer were big enough for what we bought. We managed to get WiFi strong enough for streaming services. It was a nice touch having the shared utility room with board games, body board, wind breakers available to borrow. We visited both north and south coastlines and it was a handy location for both. Thank you so much. We can't wait to stay again!
