  Well where do i start.

  The most lovely of setting. In a quite area but close to so many places that are a must to see in the wonderful Lakes. I have looked back over many other reviews and it is very obvious that no one takes any notice what guest are telling you. Some of the issues i had other guest had back in 2016. The cottage is great for a base but you do need to address the fact it needs an update. The settee is very uncomfortable so much so i sat on the floor. You need to put the tiny TV back into the dolls house and get a decent size one. It was clean enough but i can see why other guest have complained. You really do need to put a mirror at the end of your drive it is not safe pulling out onto the road. The walled garden was a real treat, thank god i could use it as the whole week was completely ruined due to the fact the whole of the complex was hired out to a film company filming a Bollywood Film. I did not need an alarm clock as i was woken up at 6am every morning and again gone 11pm, I know the owner spoke to them but with around 30 people staying there there was no way it was going to be a good break. The smell from the chefs cooking was not good, filling the cottage all day, every day. There were black bags of food open in the yard and being enjoyed each day by the wildlife. I did get a part refund but still came home very stressed. You have one hell of a gem if you could only made the most of it. It was a bonus that the sun was out all week so i could go out as much as possible. Sykes sorry being told my only option was take the refund and go home was not really what i wanted to hear. This holiday was booked for a year. The film crew booked a few weeks.

  We had a lovely stay except for the last night when we did not get to sleep until past 4 am.

  I think it would be worth informing future guests that the cottage is one small part of a larger development which is set up for large groups. The place was ideal for us & our very nervous rescue dog until the Friday. On the Friday groups of men began to arrive throughout the afternoon & evening until there were 25+. A huge amount of alcohol was piled up on a table in the quad outside our back window & some of the men began to drink on arrival. They used the large barn for their entertainment and were continually on the move between the big house & the barn all night. Being 2 women in this sort of situation was unsettling as we are aware a large number of men together with huge amounts of alcohol can be unpleasant. As it turned out the men did not bother us ( we had drawn all the curtains & locked the door) but we were on high alert all evening as the noise level & movement grew and it spoiled our last evening. I think it is important that guests are informed about issues like this before they book. Had we known that a large male only group was booked in we would not have stayed & it has certainly put us off going back there again. I hope you understand our issue with this. We did not feel safe & although the men were simply enjoying themselves we were on edge.

  Date of stay 18-08-2023 to 25-08-2023 This is an excellent barn conversion into a cosy 1 bedroomed cottage for two people.

  The fixtures and fittings are of a high quality, and everything you could need is supplied. Lovely thick bath towels are supplied, so there is no need to bring your own. The shower is perfect and large with good water pressure and stable temperature. The bedroom is compact, but there is a double bed, a good-sized chest of drawers and a hanging rail with 8 coat hangers, and a bedside table on either side of the bed. There is very little space between the bottom of the bed and the wall, we are not large people so not a problem for us. The bed was very comfy. Don't worry if you forget your teabags, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid, J-cloth etc... there is some supplied to get you started. Other cleaning products and equipment also supplied. The owner had left milk and biscuits for our arrival very much appreciated thank you. This cottage is in a good position for visiting lots of the local heritage sites and beaches. We need to go back to continue with our adventures in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

  Lovely cottage, part of a farm that sits in its own, very quiet twenty acres, where dogs can safely be let off the lead in order to run around.

  Cottage immaculately clean with everything you could need. Lovely, helpful hosts and it was nice to meet some of the caravan owners who were on the other side of the field. A great place to base yourself, whether you want to explore Cornwall or just chill sitting in the grounds. Mevagissey is lovely to visit (you'll walk round it quite quickly) but don't follow the satnav; the road is barely one car width! Pity the driver towing a caravan who meets the same coming from the opposite direction! We mentioned this to one of the caravaners and they'd followed the same route, though not towing, and found it hairy, too! Though it's a bit further, but doesn't take longer, go via St. Austell. Charlestown (near St. Austell), St. Mawes and Pendennis Castle (English Heritage, Falmouth) are worth visiting, as is The Lost Gardens of Heligan, which was superb value for money. We hope you enjoy your trip, as well as your stay at Vose Farm!

  A very peaceful location, with well tended grounds.

  Cottage building was attractive. Laundry facilities were good (rotary clothes line in small garden with a daisy filled lawn) and the cottage was clean. All bathroom and kitchen facilities operated well. We were surprised there was no ‘welcome’ kit with milk, tea and coffee or a few biscuits and no shower gel - the only accommodation where we’ve found non of these ready. We’d brought our own but these touches always make guests feel welcome, even if in small amounts. Towels were clean but rough. We were disappointed that there were no outdoor cushions to make the two metal chairs comfortable so we could enjoy a morning coffee and that the outdoor bench/ table was rotting and not comfortable for summer evening relaxation, where the pleasant surroundings could then be enjoyed. Date of experience: 01 June 2023
