What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful stay at Lowley Brook Farm.

  Peter and Liz are great hosts. The cabin was spotless and had all the amenities that one would need for a comfortable stay. Peter had baked fresh bread for us and also provided us with their hen's fresh eggs, local fresh milk and Bacon from the local farm shop Tre Pol and Pen. Butter, cooking oil, sugar, coffee and tea as well as assorted fruits were also kept for our consumption. Therefore we did not need to buy anything on arrival. Peter and Liz greeted us on arrival and offered suggestions about local things. We managed to feed the alpacas with Peter which was a unique experience for us. Their dogs Bryn and Magg are very gentle and were very keen to involve us in throwing their ball. What can one say about most majestic Douglas and his harem which he guards diligently . You wake up to his crowing and he is very keen to come to your doorstep to make his presence felt. My wife bribed him with breadcrumbs, he quickly became her devoted fan. Peter uses water from their brook (lowley brook) for everything. The water is filtered to 4 microns and tastes very good indeed. During our stay it rained quite a lot which made the brook water minimally cloudy, but Peter kindly provided us with big bottles of drinking water, much appreciated. In spite of inclement weather we had a good time at Lowley Brook Farm. We would recommend this place for any couple wanting peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Thank you peter and Liz

  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.

  We had a wonderful stay at Liz and Pete's place for our anniversary week.

  The Cabin is cosy, well-equipped and beautifully clean - a real home from home. The location is great for staying locally or exploring the North Coast - we did a bit of both visiting Tintagel and Port Isaac, but also enjoyed relaxing at the Cabin as it is so quiet and peaceful, a fantastic place to relax and unwind. As animal lovers, we throughly enjoyed spending time with the alpacas and helping out with feeding time, watching the chickens' antics (whilst keeping an eye out for the handsome rogue, Douglas the cockrel!) and the company and friendship of Bryn and Mag who greeted us each morning and on our return to the cabin after our days out. Liz and Pete are so lovely and friendly, and our welcome pack of Pete's fresh baked bread (the best bread you'll ever taste!), Cornish butter, milk and bacon, along with eggs from their hens was such a thoughtful gesture. We cannot recommend a stay at The Cabin enough - a little slice of heaven nestled away in the Cornish countryside.

  Loved our break in the cabin, all as described on site.

  Our hosts, Peter and Liz were very welcoming, gave us a tour of the cabin explaining about water supply and some do's and don't regarding the property. Peter and Liz had left us a fresh baked loaf of bread, some bacon from the local farm shop, eggs from their hens and milk and butter, we have never been to a property where the hosts are so generous with a welcome pack. The cabin was comfortable, a relaxed atmosphere although we only use as a base, out all day. Two very friendly dogs, Mag and Bryn, who welcome you every day, they love a treat, a good fuss and chasing balls. A good location for walkers, and anyone who likes a bit of solitude, apart from Douglas the Cockerell and an owl, it's exceptionally quiet. The alpacas are mesmerising, you could watch them for hours. Would definitely visit again, highly recommended location.
