Dog Friendly Villas In West Cornwall

What our customers say about their holidays

  Our booked six night stay consisted of one night before we gave the keys back and found somewhere else to stay.

  In 25 years of renting holiday cottages, this was by far the worst. Spartan, poorly equipped, no room whatsoever, no storage space and what we believed to be us having the run of a large garden (as the photos depicted) for our two spaniels, we had a 12 x 12ft patch of grass. The tv is at a 45 degree angle to the settee, so you had to crane your neck to watch it. No net curtains so no privacy. A kitchen without a cooker, draining board or washing machine, the latter essential for a cottage that's supposedly dog friendly. As for the front door..... We were told NOT to turn the car around using the property opposite's drive which necessitated reversing down the narrow lane to get out, no mention of this when we booked. Presumably the cottage owners and the neighbour don't get on? The directions to the place weren't even accurate. If this place WAS converted from a barn, I can only assume that the barn was more comfortable. When we departed on the Sunday morning, the owners weren't in, so I texted them to say we'd left the place and to let them know where we'd left the key. Several hours later they replied to say, "oh dear, thanks for letting us know, we hope you find something more suited to your needs". No apology, no " what could we have done to make your stay better?", essentially, " thanks for your £400, 'bye". I just can't believe the glowing reviews for this place, people must have very low expectations. We will NEVER book through you again, a complete and utter disappointment. Yours sincerely Graham & Caroline Brown

  This is the third time we have stayed at this lovely cottage.

  The location is amazing and the cottage is really lovely. It was a treat to arrive to see it had been refreshed with a new carpet etc We only have a couple of niggles: the tv is tricky and this time we did ask for help which was forthcoming. But the device isn’t great tbh and we had to sign in to our own Netflix account. It is also really tricky to get towels dry so we always take our own plus some beach towels … some more hooks in the bathroom and another heated towel rail would be amazing as the damp sea air has sometimes resulted in a boring trip to the laundrette in Truro to wash and dry towels! That said, we love the cottage and will return next year: highly recommend it ;-)

  We had a fantastic holiday at Cliff Cottages.

  It was perfect for our needs and is a great location for peace, quiet and a dip in the sea! The house was very, very clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and wifi was perfect, no issues with at all. We did read the previous reviews and noted about the lack of drying space, so we took our own clothes horse which did the job for us and drying towels. Might be something to consider purchasing for the house for when you cannot get towels and clothes out on the washing line. But aside from that the house and location allowed us to relax, switch off and really enjoy our holiday - so much so, we did not want to come home! We have bookmarked for returning - thank you.

  Little Orchard Barn was a vey lucky find and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

  It is one of the two best cottages we have stayed in. We received a very warm welcome along with some tasty treats. The cottage is comfortable, very well equipped and thoughtful touches make it feel very homely. Please don’t be put off by previous negative comments regarding narrow lane to access the property. It is a very short distance which we managed very well in our Honda CRV, which is not a small car and with due care we were able to drive in, turn round and drive out again with confidence. There is a lot to do in the surrounding area and the shops are close by. Do come and stay at Little Orchard Barn you won’t be disappointed. Many thanks to the owners

  We had a wonderful stay.

  Everything was perfect. The property is very close to St Austell and if you’re feeling active then a 35 min or so walk to the beach down quite a wild path. We loved the touch of scones, clotted cream and jam and our dogs loved their dog treats. Other really nice touches were fresh flowers and great kitchen utensils, even a cafetière. It was a very peaceful and perfect stay. My dogs are small and one has a disc hernia, so we bought our dog steps along with us for the step in and used the other for the pretty courtyard garden. We are looking forward to hopefully coming back at a future date. Thank you.
