  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

  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.

  Our holiday was amazing, such a fantastic location.

  The lodge was spotless! We had fresh bread, milk, bacon and eggs on arrival. Peter and Liz were happy to give us advise on where to visit (highly recommend St Nectans Glen) some beautiful views and lovely walks. Helping out with the alpacas was so much fun something different and we loved it. The two dogs, Mag and Brin were adorable so friendly also not forgetting Douglas and his ladies - Cockerel and hens -, they are fun to watch. Lowley Brook Farm is definitely a place to go for some adventures never the less if you want to just chill and read a book then you can do that as well. We truly loved it there and Peter and Liz were fabulous such good hosts, although we feel like we have made some new friends. Definitely recommend a visit it's tucked away in the perfect location. We will most certainly go back.

  The holiday accommodation at North Coombe Farm is top class in all regards. In addition to its superb location (a great base from which to explore most of Cornwall and Devon) the property is light, spacious, well decorated, clean, warm, comfortable and welcoming. We would particularly commend the kitchen and its equipment. All the windows overlook the superb garden that sweeps down over the lawn to the stream and pond. The owner, Diana, is close by to offer assistance, but is never intrusive (by the way, her Lemon Cake is top notch as well). Even the good natured farm dogs occasionally chip in with a little good natured entertainment !! Overall, North Coomb Farm is highly recommended; we will definitely return.
