  A beautiful cottage in a secluded location, perfect to give you some quality time alone, with the opportunity to explore Cornwall. The cottage was impeccably clean and well presented. The view from the bedroom, living room and enclosed patio was stunning. The owner, Lucy, greeted us on arrival and could be seen around the stables regularly, often offering helpful advice and tips to help us make the most of our break. She had provided a number of additional things in the cottage to help us settle in, and had really paid attention to detail. We used the cottage as a base and used our car each day to travel to different locations to walk/ride our bikes. We made good use of the Tarka Trail and nearby Morwenstow (National Trust), had a lovely day out at Tintagel Castle (English Heritage), and took one rainy day to go a little bit further and visit the Eden Project and Padstow, including a meal at Rick Stein’s pub. It is very hilly around the cottage with thin narrow lanes suitable for 1 car mostly. The nearby village had a couple of pubs, a pizza shop and Chinese takeaway if you prefer not to cook but the cottage had everything to make your own meals. If you are going further out to eat, I would suggest booking. We struggled to get anywhere to eat in nearby Bude without booking. I would highly recommend this property.

  Had a wonderful time at Groom cottage.

  It’s a very cute cottage within a complex of cottages. It has all you need and was really well equipped. Susan the owner was lovely, the only problem we had was a broken clothes airer which she replaced immediately. She also provided us with beach chairs and a windbreaker which was fab! The shared pool was brilliant, we used every day, the kids play area was popular with my eldest, but good to know you cannot see the play area from Groom Cottage. The local area is lovely would particularly recommend sandymouth beach ant Tintagel Castle. The cottage is small, the bedrooms are a decent size but living space is small so was a bit of a squeeze for 4 of us. The outside space is very cute with 2 small courtyard style gardens and a front patio. The courtyard gardens are filled with plants and very private which is nice. The front patio is more spacious and less private. The one and only thing I would change would be to add black out roller blinds to the upstairs bedroom windows so you have the option to use them. The south facing light comes in very early in summer, for a lot or people this is no problem but if like me I get woken up by light very easily. But that is the only thing. We had a wonderful stay and we were blessed with amazing weather. Would recommend.

  Upon arrival we found that the door handle was hanging off so reported it immediately.

  Someone came to look at it and couldnt do it so said he would send his grandad. It was obvious it needed a new lock but my husband helped do a temporary fix. The cottage was absolutely filthy with cobwebs and dead insects everywhere, we mentioned this at the time but nothing was done. I again complained a couple of days later and Someone came and mopped the floor!! Still filth and dead insects on every windowsill. I pulled the bin out to empty it and there was a build up of dirt and debris behind it, very obvious this hadn't been moved in months! I also attempted to vacuum myself but the vacuum cleaner was also filthy and covered in cobwebs. Plates and dishes were chipped and there was no way I was going to use the oven!!! Even the barbecue was broken and disgusting. We had to eat out for every meal as there was no way we could use the pans etc in there. This cost a lot more than we had planned for. The outdoor bbq house was dirty and unuseable with extension cables trailing everywhere. The owner and staff were not very friendly, on checking out the owner was outside reception and totally ignored me. I would definitely not recommend Atlantic Farm to anyone and if this is the standard of properties you use I would not recommend Sykes Cottages either.

  Groom Cottage is a delightful and charming old farm cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here even though the weather was quite dismal . The facilities were kept meticulously clean - including use of the shared, heated pool and it’s changing rooms , children’s playground and use of the shared playroom. The kitchen was well equipped in this characterful cottage . The beds were comfortable and the pretty sunroom was a lovely room to eat in. We enjoyed our visit to Bude and would recommend the Preston’s Arms in the very attractive ancient village of Poughill less than half a mile away. We would love to return for another holiday , thank you

  Simply stunning!

  This quirky cottage is beautiful and everything you could wish for. The site itself has some fantastic facilities including a swimming pool, pool table and table tennis table. Close by and within walking distance is a gorgeous pub in Poughill called the Preston Gate Inn which serves good food and entertainment of an evening. I just want to personally thank the owners who were absolutely amazing, supportive and very accommodating to us when I received some sad news prior to our holiday. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back. This place is lovely xx
