  A perfect stay!

  This holiday cottage is fantastic. Everything is finished to a very high standard and is extremely comfortable, along with being very accommodating to both us and our four legged friends. The owners, Brian and Sarah, were fantastic and always on hand if we had any questions or needed recommendations of local places to visit. The cottage is really well situated to be within driving distance of many local attractions, but is also in a lovely quiet and secluded farm setting giving the best of both worlds. There is a Tesco superstore and petrol station a convenient 15 minute drive away, if you happen to like to cook meals at the cottage - which the kitchen was very well equipped for. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk were provided on arrival, and if staying with dogs, water bowls, a few dog treats and even a dog bed for use during your stay. The courtyard area outside the property is ideal for dogs as it is enclosed, but also a nice little sun trap should you choose to sit outside and enjoy a beverage or two on a sunny day. A dog waste bin is also provided making tidying up after yourself nice and easy. The internet connection was always speedy and reliable, so is ideal for those who may need to do a little work etc whilst away. All in all we had a fantastic time here and would happily stay again! Highly recommended! Thank you for a great stay Brian and Sarah

  Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting.

  The Granary has everything you could need for cottage holiday with plenty of kitchen pots/pans/utensils etc and there was shortbread biscuits, tea & coffee waiting for us on arrival along with essentials like soap & toilet rolls in the bathrooms. Ideally situated for visiting North Cornwall and Devon. Plenty of places within easy reach including Newquay, Padstow, Bude, Tintagel, Boscastle. My daughter even had her 1st surf lesson at Newquay. Several National Trust places nearby, would highly recommend a trip to Lanhydrock. Carnglaze Caverns is a good wet weather option and if you like puzzles then definitely worth a visit to Hidden Valley Discovery Park which is just a few minutes drive. We met wild ponies when driving over Bodmin Moor which were very inquisitive and friendly, not very wild! There’s a lovely walk down the footpath outside the cottage, across the stream and back round via the road. We had such a wonderful week and would highly recommend The Granary for anyone looking for a place to stay. Brian & Sarah were very friendly and helpful.

  The little cottage is well equipped and a great base for travelling around Cornwall.

  The hosts are great, and there are little touches such as a cream tea, wine and flowers. There are great views at the rear of the property and we enjoyed sitting out, having breakfast as it's very peaceful. The Lodge is decorated to a high standard with a nice bathroom and good shower. There wasn't a lot of places to eat in April as lock down restrictions were gradually lifting. Most nights, we had a takeaway or cooked a meal. The kitchen again is well equipped for this however, we couldn't work out how to use the microwave. Cornwall is a truely beautiful part of the country and highlights were the characterful fishing villages such as Polperro, Padstow and Magavissey. We will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place as a great little hideaway.

  We have been holidaying in Cornwall for years and this was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in.

  I suffer from chronic pain and arthritis and this is the first time that I have been able to be comfy and relax after a busy day out. The place is spotless and furnished to a high standard with a strong internet signal. Brian and Sarah have really put their heart into this for their guests ensuring that comfort is a priority. They are lovely, welcoming hosts and very helpful pointing out areas for us to visit. The courtyard is beautiful and completely safe for dogs and our 2 loved it, especially exploring up and down the lane outside. Their 2 dogs are so friendly and the added bonus was getting to meet and stroke their horses. This is an exceptional place to stay and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Kerry, Steve, Jaz & Alfie x

  Im afraid i cannot share the enthusiasm of previous guests.

  This property was very dissapointing in comparison to other Sykes Cottages I have rented. The cottage definately needs some loving care and attention. The property looked very run down and definately didnt meet the expectations I was used to when renting with Sykes. Melissa was very kind however when we mentioned that the toilett seat was defective this remark was completely ignored. The amenities were VERY basic and the garden furniture was rusty and not very inviting. The shower was not very clean and black dirt came out of the piping. I expected more quality for the price.
