What our customers say about their holidays

  We appreciated this reasonably-priced, no-frills, first floor accommodation for our short stay while visiting relatives in the area.

  Due to family commitments we were almost exclusively at Trevarthian Farm Annexe in the dark and/or in a hurry, but the glimpses of farmland views from the (low) windows in the mornings were lovely. We had open access to the lane outside, and there was a grassy area directly opposite the property useful for our elderly dog to 'go' on, although we did have to always accompany her (we missed advantages of an enclosed garden more than we had expected, but that's on us). I was looking forward to enjoying countryside and woodland walks through the farmland as per description but in fact due to family commitments we were not on site enough: the only time I tried was late at night and our way through the gate was barred by two large goats! For the benefit of other guests: The flat was reached by a flight of stairs but otherwise on one level. There was a dehumidifier inside the ground floor entrance (to deal with condensation I think) and a slight damp smell in the flat on arrival (which wore off over our stay) but in fact the flat was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean, with no signs of damp. The beds and sofas were comfortable, and the small kitchen well-equipped. We appreciated the cream tea ingredients, the pint of milk in the fridge, and the books and games. The owners who live in the adjoining farmhouse got a good balance between checking on us a couple of times (& answering messages sent via the app) but otherwise being unobtrusive and not hovering. If I had to suggest an improvement it would be for a slightly larger well-lit mirror in the master bedroom with a shelf or dressing table so getting ready in the morning would be easier. It would be also useful to have a direct mobile number for the owners in case of needing to reach them quickly. No complaints from our adult sons who shared the second bedroom. We were grateful to find that the owner had kindly made the zip linked double bed up as separate twins for them. We had been somewhat stressed that this request which I had had made via Sykes by phone on the day of booking (and which the call handler had confirmed by email at my request) had not got through to the owners - Liz had to contact me on the day of travel to check our preference. The written directions for reaching the farm need proofreading (the NT property is Trerice not Terrace) and improving. It might be worth warning guests about the No Entry road sign you have to pass (and ignore). Then the "first" door you reach on the lane to the farm is not the first: there's another property/building on the same side of the lane which you pass first. The door is indeed a good marker for the property from the road but it's *not* the actual entrance to the flat as described. An outside light (perhaps motion sensor) outside the farmhouse/parking area would be helpful for guests arriving and unloading in the dark and also when taking their dog outside. All in all, though, we were satisfied with our stay, pleased with our choice of property and in similar circumstances would choose it again (although possibly not with an elderly dog who gets up several times a night).

  We had a super week at the Cart House. It's very conveniently situated for Newquay and surrounding areas. There is a fantastic M&S with a wonderful food hall just five minutes drive up the road. The property is very modern inside and super comfortable with a great kitchen area if you like cooking. We found some excellent restaurants to eat lunch and dinner too. The huge bed was extra comfy and we had seven great nights sleep. There were plenty of places to put all of our things with handy shelves and a hanging rail in the bedroom and lots of cupboards under the island in the kitchen. We loved the technical touches- remote controlled velux windows, extractor fan and huge smart TV. There were some lovely healthy plants in the living area. Philip and Helen, the owners, were very welcoming and friendly during our stay. Our little dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay there too and felt very much at home. One small thing that disappointed us was that there wasn’t a welcome pack on our arrival. This would have added an extra touch of hospitality. However, this did not worry us too much as the Cart House was so lovely.

  It was a lovely house good location for fistral beach and the shops both a 10min walk the garden was OK didn't spend much time in there but the hedges needed cutting as overflowing especially were you park the car and the ensuite there was black mould starting to form in the grout and the thermostat for the shower was stuck on what was like washing in boiling water for the wife i manage to free it up so it works which revealed the stop on the temperature is non working and loose so be careful kitchen was clean and well stocked but the surface was like glue put a loaf of bread on there and when come to use it in the morning we had to peal it off which left the pattern on the side which took a bit to clean off and there was quite abit off dust and cobwebs about the property which we had to clean up abit in the kids room as she as dust allergies which then comes to the hoover which when turn on left a God awful smell off wet dog would I go back yes I would as the location was spot on any were eles then I would have to think about it

  This was a very last minute booking and I have to say, probably the single best place we have been to in Cornwall. Everything from the booking, directions, instructions before and on arrival were well thought and perfect. The accommodation was like nobody had been in before. Very clean and tidy and there wasn’t a need for anything further. Little things had been thought about by the owners. This was for us perfect - comfortable, quiet and a great location for us. Anyone booking this place would not be disappointed and I hope that others get to experience such a great place. We had no need to contact the owners whilst on site but were aware if we had any issues what we needed to do. Little notes left around the property also helped us have a great experience. A highly recommended property that we look forward to going back to again. The booking process and quality of the property is of the highest standard and better than any other we have experienced in Cornwall.

  Crantock is our favourite place to visit after taking our daughter on her first holiday here 10 years ago.

  We visit 2/3 times a year and I think we have found our forever accommodation (should it be available). Absolutely perfect location with the most stunning views and the games room for the kids was the cherry ontop. We could chill out and watch the sunset whilst the kids were entertained. Our dog also enjoyed the use of running around the large garden area, something you struggle to find nowadays. With a 5 minute walk to the beach it was nice not having to move the car either. The beds were nice and comfy and we all had the best night sleep after a busy days. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. This property really is everything you need and we can not wait to book again when the dates become available. Thank you
