  Where do I begin?

  The place is amazing, Maureen is amazing, and it is very clear she adores dogs - our dog got the biggest welcome and was spoilt from the off with treats and toys. Each cottage has its own gate onto a large, shared field where you can walk your dog and play fetch - on our break, we had the field all to ourselves as none of our neighbours had a dog or at least, those that dig had other fields of their own. Considering pets are welcome the place is spotless. No dust, everything smelled lovely, fresh clean linen, perfectly clean bathroom and kitchen. Honestly, I cannot stress enough how clean the place was inside and out you'd have to see it to believe it. The attention to detail is fabulous too; a fire was already laid out in the hearth ready to light, we were welcomed with a cream tea and milk in the fridge. There were towels and dressing gowns available just for use with the hot tub. The hot tub itself was already nice and warm and we were given a lesson on its usage. The garden was lovely and peaceful. It catches the rays all day long too and there are sun lounges, tables and chairs a plenty to take advantage. For those who use it, the internet is fast; each cottage has its own Wi-Fi network, and it appears to use a microwave link back to the main house which has a near perfect performance. We happily stream 4K television while we were there, it never stuttered once. I did not test the latency, but I suspect it is low enough to game - not that I am suggesting you game while on holiday in Cornwall as there is plenty to do. If it helps, and for those who use it, the entrance is at; ///innovator.simulates.plug - I didn't see this on any of the sites - Google maps has the place listed correctly but for those who use alternative sat nav systems on their phones the above may help. Thank you Maureen for a superb visit. We hope to return one day.

  Everything has been thought of, you can tell straight away how proud Maureen is of the gem she has created for guests to share with her.

  As the cottage is called little bear, there are bears absolutely everywhere, the cottage is extremely tastefully created with that bear touch. Maureen left us some scrumptious scones and apples and all around the cottage she left little things for if you forgot them, such as toiletries, washing aids, candles etc. The cottage is perfect if you take a furry friend both the front and back are fully contained. Maureen even left toys and treats, bowls and blankets for our dog so that she would be comfortable and have fun too.The best bit is having a huge field to use to walk the dog right outside our gate. There is just peace and quiet and all you can hear is the occasional car but all the surrounding birds and wildlife. Absolutely loved the massage chair, used it every evening after we had been walking. The back garden has the sun all day long so we were able to have a hot tub in the morning watching the sun rise and in the early evening while the sun left us and the garden twinkled all night allowing for a Christmas party feel to the end of the day. Having the dog we personally found Perranporth beech absolutely amazing and Falmouth was also a joy to walk around. We had an extremely restful and pleasurable stay. Thank you Maureen. We would love to see you again soon, when there is some availability in your fab cottage.

  Me and my husband stayed at Little Bear Cottage as the first part of our honeymoon and it was spectacular!

  The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special with banners and a welcome cream tea when we arrived. They even left a card for us! The cottage was just beautiful and really created the settling for a romantic holiday. Even though there are some cottages around you, you really feel like it is just you in the area. The lay out has been created very well with any outside space or windows looking out onto the views so you really don't notice any other cottages. The facilities were perfect and the hot tub had such a wonderful view, great to see the stars! The cottage is at maximum an hour away from anywhere in Cornwall so you are able to really explore. There are wonderful farm shops, cafes and local facilities within a 10 min drive and a Waitrose that has a local Cornwall shop attached if you wish to buy local 100%. Everything in the cottage worked perfectly and we were very surprised at the extent of utensils and cooking supplies there was. We were able to make anything we wanted. Little Bear Cottage enabled us to have such a special and unique honeymoon. The log burning fire looked amazing and we almost wished we visited in winter so we could snuggle in front of the wood burning fire (maybe a second trip is on the cards!). Thank you so much and we would really recommenced to anyone.

  Had a wonderful week away over New Year despite the weather being dire.

  Be Our Guest is beautifully decorated and equipped and had everything we needed for us and our two little dogs. The garden is fully secure even for our tiny miniature dachshunds. We didn't use the dog walking field behind the cottage as unfortunately, our dogs are divas and don't do wet tummies. We didn't know how to access it, but Maureen soon showed us. We hadn't appreciated it was accessible from the garden. We only used the hot tub once as it was raining every other day, but it was lovely. The dogs loved the selection of toys Maureen had left but sadly they weren't able to eat the treats left for them as one of our dogs is on a special diet. Sofa is lovely and comfy as is the bed. We slept very well all week. Absolutely loved the bath! We had organised a food delivery which worked really well, they had no trouble finding the place. Only downside for us was we had got held up by traffic so we didn't arrive until after dark and got lost. Quick phone call to Maureen and she gave us directions. The outside light wasn't working either which made unpacking a challenge, but we didn't venture out after dark again so it wasn't an issue. We will return I am sure and hopefully in the better weather.

  WHERE DO I START?

  Wonderful holiday cottage. Maureen & John (owners) have literally thought of every last tiny little detail which makes it home from home!...from spare brand new tooth brushes in the bathroom, to pens and paper in the kitchen, just every little thing has been thought of. The cottage is absolutely spotless - such a high standard, and so comfortable. The hot tub is incredible, all you can see is Bear Cottage and fields and fields with the patio doors straight in to the bedroom. The cottage is so private with nothing overlooking. We actually booked a week here but left mid-week for 2 days to go and get married, and when we got back the cottage had been decorated with 'Mr & Mrs / just married' bunting, celebration balloons and champagne. We took some wedding cake to Maureen & John and they very kindly invited us in to their home for a cuppa - it felt like we'd been friends for years - so very welcoming!! Location - not far from Truro, but in the little information book there is local take away information / nearest supermarkets etc. Thank you for everything - we will definitely be booking again.
