  Well presented cottage with a good level of amenities including a well equipped kitchen.

  Great quality beds and showers, very comfortable. We visited to spend time with family who live in the village but also had nice days out. No issues parking for us, also used the great bus service and trains from Redruth. Couple of minor issues, the addition of a handrail on the stairs would be helpful , especially for night time trips to the downstairs loo. Sleep was often broken by the church bells opposite chiming every hour, as lovely as they are, it took me a full week to adjust to them . Having some recycling bags to put out with the rubbish would also be good. I bought some smaller mugs (left them there for others) as the gorgeous ones supplied were too much for myself and mother in law. The vacuum cleaner was very smelly when I tried using it, the bag was full to bursting , with no other bags supplied. We also found on our first morning that both bathroom sinks and the wet room drain were blocked so they didn't drain. I couldn't understand how cleaners had not noticed this ? Cleared them and purchased drain unblockers which seemed to do the job. We have stayed in a few cottages in the village over the years and this is by far the nicest .

  We had a lovely stay in Elm Cottage with our small dog, Norton.

  The cottage had everything we could need and was well equipped. It was warm and clean and very comfortable. We had the sun rise to the front and sun set to the rear of the cottage. Quite special. There was a lovely wooded area at the bottom of the site which we hadn't expected, which we all enjoyed. There was a good sized slabbed area with a drying line to the rear of the property and views out over the fields. If a larger dog we to stay here, guests would have to be vigilant about the dog managing to go over the back fence. However, a more substantial barrier would have spoiled the very enjoyable views. Vose Farm was well situated for our travels around this part of Cornwall. We were approximately 1 mile away from The Crown Inn, St Ewe where we had an evening meal. Our dog was made welcome. We were approx 6-8 miles from The Polgooth Inn, Polgooth which was a very busy pub (you might wish to book a table), where we and our dog were made very welcome. We had a very comfortable and happy stay at Vose Farm and have no hesitation in recommending this holiday venue.

  We recently stayed at Elm Cottage in Cornwall and it was an absolute pleasure.

  The cottage is purpose built, but it still feels like a home away from home. The owner welcomed us shortly after our arrival and made sure that everything was in order before leaving us to enjoy our stay. The cottage was immaculate and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The underfloor heating kept us warm and cozy in December, and the powerful shower had plenty of hot water. The cottage was comfortable and not overlooked, so we had plenty of privacy. We had great views from the back of the cottage. The wooded outdoor area was perfect for a quick doggie leg stretch. The cottage is dog friendly, rather than just dog tolerant. The only thing that would have made it even better would be a higher rear fence in the back garden as our labradoodle was able to clear it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Elm Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped home away from home in Cornwall.

  A gloriously peaceful Christmas week in Elm Cottage with gorgeous surroundings.

  Well located for exploring the coast. Cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully finished. Very dog friendly and family friendly with the play park and nearby woodland for walks. We have no particular accessibility needs ourselves but nevertheless very much appreciated the wet room and accessible parking. It would be useful to have a “welcome pack” of types with info of the local area (takeaway, doctors etc), user guide for the oven and instructions on what to do with bedding, towels etc at departure. Although there was cleaning equipment, some products (even just some wipes) would be helpful and enable guests to keep on top of the cleanliness (especially after cooking Christmas dinner!). A couple of teabags & a pint of milk to get you started would also be a nice touch to save the need to get out to the shops immediately after arrival. These are very small niggles though and we would very much like to return to Vose Farm in future.

  A truly relaxing break in a beautiful cottage.

  Dowager Cottage isn't normal, there's no doubt about that! It's sort of upside down, with 2 floors that both lead to ground level - weird right? This just adds to the charm - this place is amazing. Every detail is perfect - comfy furniture and beds, loads of big fluffy towels, throws for the dogs, a beautiful kitchen and superb interior design and decoration. Arriving to find a box of fresh doughnuts, some milk in the fridge and a cookery book open to the Cornish Pasty page were excellent little touches. Just 5 mins from Falmouth and the same from Flushing, there are loads of places to explore and in even in the worst weather you know you will be coming home to a warm and comfortable house to relax. Definitely dog friendly, our sausage dog has just as much fun as we did. We'll be back and I will definitely be recommending Dowager Cottage as a lovely place to stay in Cornwall.
