  I booked this staycation as a treat for my Daughter and my grandson.

  On arrival to the property it became clear there were no laundry facilities on site to wash clothing during their stay and I was told by the owners a launderette would have to be used which was a 15 minute walk from the property and with it being a self catering property with no onsite laundry facilities this was strange. Also having to make regular trips to launder wet water gear and towels used for the beach regularly was not ideal and caused more expense as well as taking time throughout the stay which is far from ideal. There is also no way of drying wetsuits after use in the sea as no outside hanging space. Also an iron was provided in the property but no ironing board to use with it? Also with regular trips to the beach throughout the stay and no vacuum in the property to clear up sand debris off footwear was a nuisance with just the use of a dust pan and brush. You would have to ensure you have plenty of extra beach towels and clothing to last during your stay if you wish to not use a local launderette during your stay. Also no dishwasher so the facilities provided are pretty basic which does not reflect well in the rental cost per week. Fabulous location and great heating but the other factors I’ve mentioned were a huge let down and I feel it should be made known in the property details about the lack of laundry facilities onsite and cleaning facilities to keep the property tidy during a stay here. Otherwise it’s in a great location.

  Just stayed here for a week.

  There was a few problems on arrival: 1: there was cobwebs and spiders in the bedroom, bathroom and living kitchen area 2: ants on the floor in the kitchen area 3: the patio area was very over grown (nothing like the pictures shown) 4: there is a cat which is not mentioned in the description. (Our dog doesn't like cats) When we knocked on the door and mentioned these problems to the owner we were told the patio area is a wildlife one and the weeds are too much to maintain, there shouldn't be cobwebs as she had just spent three hours cleaning the property, the birds like eating the ants and she couldn't do much about the cat other than say he doesn't go in the patio area so wouldn't be a problem. ( The cat does go in the patio area as we found out one morning when we took out dog in luckily on a lead) The owner could tell we wasn't happy and went and got the hoover to suck the cobwebs up, put any powder down outside and starting trimming the over grown patio area. The owner also said over the weekend her husband would mow to make a path for us, it never got done. We couldn't sit outside or let our dog off the lead due to it being so over grown or our dog chasing the cat. One thing about the description that is right is it's in a good location, easy access to crantock beach and fistral beach.

  Lavender Barn is a great find, and a great stay, and I would return.

  I would like to point out just a few things that I thought could make an improvement for all visitors. Although it states dog friendly the garden is not quite attached to the house, so its not just like letting your dogs out in your own garden, my dogs are small but the gate made easy escape for the one, so maybe some netting to avoid this, maybe a hose pipe too to wash dogs off before entering the house, with a hook to tie them to. I cant re-call if there was a sensor light that covered the garden area, again makes it easier when looking for our fury legged friends.. One thing I wish was supplied was a mop & bucket, especially after rainy walks etc. Very limited cupboard space for own provisions, maybe some more shelving to avoid having to clutter up the work surface. Or maybe use of one of the other cupboards for food etc. The bedside tables are literally tables, but having drawers in them, along with the dressing table the same, would give visitors far more storage space. The bathroom too, just some more space to put wash bags etc. The barn was clean & tidy on arrival the little touch of the fresh scones & jam & cream was lovely. Really comfy & welcoming. We had a great stay & would return.

  We have stayed in many cottages across the UK, this was comfortably the best we have ever stayed in.

  So spacious inside, the bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living spaces were of the absolute highest quality. Superbly equipped and very clean and the garden and outdoor area to the rear of the property were just perfect. We are absolutely gutted to be leaving, we’ve loved every minute of our stay at Rowan Cottage. If you turn right out of the cottage, head up the road to the gate, that takes you onto Cubert Common and down into Polly Joke beach - this is highly recommended. It takes around 20-30 minutes dependent on how eager you are - I had our dog so managed it in 20 but a light walk would be around 30, this is a lovely walk and a beautiful beach (best kept secret in Cornwall still after all these years). Recommend the village chip shop in Cubert, Bowgie Inn in West Pentire for the views (and really improved over the last few years) and just near a scenic walk around to Polly Joke featuring Poppy fields around beg - late June. Thanks to the Owner for reaching out when we booked our stay and to Holly for being so helpful in the lead up to our stay. A wonderful cottage, amazingly located. We will be back.

  First impressions were great and we were really happy with the space and facilities.

  The shower was decent and the bed was really comfortable. The location is brilliant, we absolutely love the area of Crantock and the beach is a short walk away which saves on parking costs! The scones and condiments were a nice touch however on closer inspection we did spot some cleanliness issues such as dusty cobwebs above the windows in the living room, ceiling of the bedroom and behind furniture. I know spiders will find their homes in any home but I would expect old dusty cobwebs to be cleared away especially when they fell on us or our belongings if we created a breeze! Also the cutlery draw was dirty and there was a hair in the knife compartment. The bbq was in need of a good scrubbing before use (not something you really want to be doing after paying £1,400 for a week away) it should be clean and ready to use for each guest. We chose not to use it in the end. When you pay a significant amount of money and with check in at 5pm, check out at 9am to enable a “deep clean” it isn’t justified. It’s a shame because the stay would of been perfect without these niggles.
