A beautiful, well presented 3 bedroom cottage in St Minver. It has everything you need and more, plenty of crockery, cutlery, tea towels, tea bags, sugar, milk there on arrival etc, and a lovely complimentary bottle of wine. It has the added advantage of a full-size dishwasher (you get a couple of tablets so you may need to stock up on a few more), washer and tumble dryer. Beds (only slept in the 4-poster) which was comfortable but the mattress could probably do with updating, but it wasn't uncomfortable in any way I'm just used to a firmer mattress. Great outdoor space on two levels with table and chairs on both, we were hoping to be able to BBQ but the weather unfortunately wasn't on our side, beside this the grill does need some attention before summer. The only downside that I have to mention and its not directly relating to the cottage, is the fact that that pub at the top of the lane is now closed and seems to have been for sometime. This was something that we had as a must on searching for a cottage, so to find it closed was slightly disappointing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grooms Cottage and have fallen in love with Cornwall, we will definitely be back!

Facilities were excellent and location was perfect for exploring North Cornwall. Weather was wet and windy but the cottage was a warm and comfortable place to come home to.

One minor irritant was that there is nowhere to put anything in the separate shower other than on the floor. Some form of shelving would make all the difference.
