We had a wonderful stay at The Granary. Clive met us on our first day and gave us a warm welcome, showing us around the property. Our Labrador particularly loved the walks around the grounds. Although it was generally clean, there were quite a few cobwebs in places. The accommodation had everything we needed, though it did look a little tired in parts. That said, it didn’t put us off—we’ve already booked to return.

The Granary was warm and cosy and provided a good base to explore the north coast of Cornwall for a few days. The owners were friendly and helpful, and the cream tea and milk on arrival very welcoming. The property is one of their converted farm buildings, with walks to their lake, and is not far from A395. We would recommend a stay here. It's very quiet and rural, with no shop or pub nearby, just cows at the nearby farm. A walk around Tamar Lakes was nice too.

A lovely stay at the Granary over the New Years break, great location and Clive was there to meet us to talk through where everything was. Nice location for exploring places such as Looe, Tintagel, Boscastle all under an hours drive away. We made full use of the grounds and our dog loved the walks through the woods and around the lake, plus playing ball in the fields. (he didn't want to come home).Accommodation was spot on, everything you need for a kitchen perspective if you are eating in. great Wi-Fi connection if you have kids that need entertaining and cannot do without it for a few days, lovely log burner which we didn't really need to use as the Granary was not cold at all, but we did as it was nice to have a roaring fire in the evenings.We would definitely stay again in the future and recommend to anybody wanting a peaceful break in Cornwall.
