  Had a wonderful time at Groom cottage.

  It’s a very cute cottage within a complex of cottages. It has all you need and was really well equipped. Susan the owner was lovely, the only problem we had was a broken clothes airer which she replaced immediately. She also provided us with beach chairs and a windbreaker which was fab! The shared pool was brilliant, we used every day, the kids play area was popular with my eldest, but good to know you cannot see the play area from Groom Cottage. The local area is lovely would particularly recommend sandymouth beach ant Tintagel Castle. The cottage is small, the bedrooms are a decent size but living space is small so was a bit of a squeeze for 4 of us. The outside space is very cute with 2 small courtyard style gardens and a front patio. The courtyard gardens are filled with plants and very private which is nice. The front patio is more spacious and less private. The one and only thing I would change would be to add black out roller blinds to the upstairs bedroom windows so you have the option to use them. The south facing light comes in very early in summer, for a lot or people this is no problem but if like me I get woken up by light very easily. But that is the only thing. We had a wonderful stay and we were blessed with amazing weather. Would recommend.

  Upon arrival we found that the door handle was hanging off so reported it immediately.

  Someone came to look at it and couldnt do it so said he would send his grandad. It was obvious it needed a new lock but my husband helped do a temporary fix. The cottage was absolutely filthy with cobwebs and dead insects everywhere, we mentioned this at the time but nothing was done. I again complained a couple of days later and Someone came and mopped the floor!! Still filth and dead insects on every windowsill. I pulled the bin out to empty it and there was a build up of dirt and debris behind it, very obvious this hadn't been moved in months! I also attempted to vacuum myself but the vacuum cleaner was also filthy and covered in cobwebs. Plates and dishes were chipped and there was no way I was going to use the oven!!! Even the barbecue was broken and disgusting. We had to eat out for every meal as there was no way we could use the pans etc in there. This cost a lot more than we had planned for. The outdoor bbq house was dirty and unuseable with extension cables trailing everywhere. The owner and staff were not very friendly, on checking out the owner was outside reception and totally ignored me. I would definitely not recommend Atlantic Farm to anyone and if this is the standard of properties you use I would not recommend Sykes Cottages either.

  Just back from a weeks stay at Hazel Cottage - we loved it and highly recommend!

  The Cottage itself is cosy and comfortable with an enclosed back garden and a lovely sunny decked area. With an elderly Labrador we really appreciated the accommodation all being on one level. The owners really have thought of everything to make this home from home. The bed and sofa are both really comfortable and looked brand new. There were several welcoming touches. A pint of milk in the fridge, Coffee Tea, Biscuits and even dog biscuits and bowls! It made us feel so welcome. We made good use of the swimming pool and table tennis table. We took time to relax and on sunny days we found sitting on the sun deck peaceful and relaxing, it’s so quiet and tranquil. There was only the occasional sound of a donkey braying in the distance which we loved! Our first stay in Bude and I’m sure we will be back and would definitely return to Hazel Cottage. A 5 minute walk to the local pub - also recommended very friendly, great food and dogs allowed even inside!

  We had another lovely stay at Hazel Cottage in August - the second time we've stayed here.

  The hosts accommodated a special request without any problems, and we found the cottage as clean, comfortable and well appointed as when we stayed here before. The warm indoor pool in the complex is a key reason why we stay here - it's weatherproof and there's always something to do. There's a feeling of seclusion to the cottages at Trevalgas, it never feels too busy or noisy. The garden was kept mowed and the apple tree had had a haircut. There's space to run around for kids. Bude's beaches and shops are about a 5 min drive away; we had wonderfully fresh eggs from a nearby farm; and in the terrible weather in our week there, we drove the 45 mins across the border to Devon a few times for rollerskating at Stoppers Roller Rink and trampolining at Air Extreme - fantastic indoor activities for kids. We also found excellent fish and chips by the Quay at Bideford. We would stay here again whenever I can in future: it's a bit like a home from home.

  Hazel cottage is in a quiet and relaxing setting.

  It has everything you could wish for to make your stay comfortable and happy. The owner supplies tea, coffee, milk and biscuits so you are able to make a drink whilst you settle in. There are several supermarkets in Bude if needed. There is just one pub/restaurant within easy walking distance, but Bude is 5 minutes drive away and there are details of other restaurants provided in an information pack. We found it difficult to arrange a to collect us from Bude one night, so I would advise booking in advance. The site is well maintained, with a good size swimming pool. There is also a laundry room which would be useful if the weather was wet and clothes needed drying. Communication with the owner was excellent. We will definitely return.
