  Driving up to the stunning venue I was really impressed with the immaculate grounds and the scenery.

  This was well maintained throughout the stay, with the grass being cut daily! If only the same amount of effort was placed inside to make everything as good on the inside as the outside... The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have had the displeasure of trying to sleep in. And this is coming from someone who could literally sleep on a log if given half the chance. Sorry but I really think this should be addressed. I understand regulations are there for a reason, but having an emergency LED green light, then with REFLECTIVE lampshades... oh the joys along with a bed that you can't get comfortable in. Both me and little one struggled with this. The curtains in the cottage we stayed in didn't even cover the whole length of the window. I'm not a bath person and love a great shower, but there was no chance of this at all, no pressure enough to even try and swill off sand after coming back from the beach, let alone a hose long enough to even reach down to your legs. Added with the tedious task of having to work with a limited supply of hot water from an immersion tank and a bath small enough for only half of my body to fit in, there was no relaxation after a long day exploring the beautiful beaches around. Children's playground consisted of 2 swings (1 baby and 1 single seat), a set of monkey bars and a few balance beams... bit of another disappointment really, it was such a good space and could be so much more! I can't fault the staff who were brilliantly welcoming and the entertainment at night was enough for what the park offered. The pool was clean and changing rooms were well managed by the staff. Overall, the place was clean and tidy, both the cottage and the reception/ entertainment areas. In saying all this, I would think about booking again if the cabins were maybe better than the cottages. And whilst I totally get that they are "cottages", I just felt with all the maintenance outside, surely some of this effort could be used to update the inside of the cottages?

  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.

  Beautiful cottage for our wonderful Autumn stay.

  I know it's an old property, but the amount of cobwebs around the lights and especially behind the headboards of the single beds were a little off putting - a good vacuum would sort this. Lots of clutter, ornaments etc, where you could see that they've been polished around. Too many plates cups and too much cutlery for a cottage sleeping only 4. The bathroom light is temperamental. The fire in the living roomed worked, however the display did not light up. The upstairs main bedroom the floorboards move so much we were worried the wardrobe and chest of drawers would tip over, or the ornaments would fall and smash. Please remember to take a toilet roll as we arrived before going to the shops and there wasn't no toilet roll at all. However we did have a lovely stay, during storm Ciarán, we certainly couldn't hear much of the bad weather from inside the cottage and we were warm enough. A well stocked shop a short walk down the road and a lovely café. We would like to return to this beautiful cottage.

  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
